Presented by internationally acclaimed educator and trainer, Howard Brinton, this Conference brought together over 1,800 of the most progressive, forward-thinking professionals in real estate today to share their methods of success. The faculty consisted of 170 of the continent’s top-producing real estate professionals, all ranking in the top 1% of all REALTORSâ in North America.
Sean Carroll a REALTORâ with RE/MAX Classic Group had this to say about the experience: “This Conference and the STAR POWERÒ Systems have armed me with the best tools available to provide the highest quality of service to my clients. In addition, I continue to build a tremendous network for referring my clients to the best agents all over the country when they’re considering a move or looking to buy a second home. I also received invaluable insight on the benefit of operating from a business philosophy, and incorporating the latest technology to keep me on the cutting edge.”
As a part of the Conference, Sean Carroll received information for consumers about the top six mistakes that sellers can make when selling a home, as well as a questionnaire for evaluating and hiring a real estate professional. As a public service, Sean Carroll has decided to make these two reports available to Union County residents at no charge.

Berkeley Heights NJ Real Estate Summary
Although prices have trended lower or remained flat, Berkeley Heights still remains an appealing option for many buyers, which has enabled homes to sell quickly if they are priced properly. Multiple offers are still a possiblity for competetively priced homes. However, with so many new listings, I expect days on market to rise for homes that are priced too high.
There were 13 properties that closed in July in Berkeley Heights, down from 26 in June and the average selling price was $639,423 and the average days on market was 54. (according to Garden State MLS Statistics)
