I have worked with Janis for the past twenty years. She is an excellent realtor. Janis goes above and beyond for her clients. When my wife and I first decided to look for a home in Ridgewood, Janis was recommended. After an initial meeting we began looking in town. We looked and looked. We looked for 18 months. Now I don’t know about you but 18 months is a long time and I’m quite surprised she didn’t give us the boot! She never said “for pete's sake” just put a bid on something, or “you're killing me, Smalls!” , I don't have all year. No, Janis was very patient. We never felt pressured. When we finally found our house we were involved in a bidding war. We had never heard of such a thing. It was quite something. We had no idea what to do but we loved the house. Fortunately Janis knew exactly what we needed to do! She recommended that we write a letter to the owner. Janis understood the market and realized that we wouldn’t get the house unless she went above and beyond and did something special for us. So, we wrote the letter. Now Janis didn’t just hand the letter to the other realtor or the owner. Oh, no! She met with the owner and read our letter to the owner personally in Lily Pulitzer!! It was beautiful and apparently when she was done everyone was in tears, including the family dog! She let the owners know how much we loved the house and that we would take excellent care of the home. Needless to say with Janis’ charm, skill, and perseverance we got the house! We owe that to Janis. Janis is honest, knowledgeable and knows what’s happening in the Ridgewood real estate market. She is a pillar of the community and is actively involved in the town supporting fundraisers and the town’s schools. She is refined and a master negotiator. She never fails to impress I highly recommend Janis Fuhrman, I recommend her as my Realtor for all Seasons, but more importantly as a friend who never invites me anywhere Philip M
Janis is the consummate real estate professional. Her keen eye, experience, knowledge and long standing relationships made every part of the transaction go smoothly from staging and pricing through negotiation and closing. She is resourceful, practical, helpful and reasonable with all parties and she manages to make selling and buying a house fun! (She has a great sense of humor - a must when you are moving 3 kids and a dog. ) But the number 1 reason to work with Janis Furhman is that you can TRUST her. I trust her judgment, discretion and advice completely and recommend her to everyone I know. Next time I buy or sell, I'm calling Janis!

From our first meeting at our house while the movers were busy moving our furniture to the finalization of the closing, everything was seamless. Janis was very friendly and professional. She explained the process and we felt at ease knowing what to expect. Janis did an excellent job with the brochure, highlighting the beauty of our home. The brochure was so impressive, we told Janis that we would like to buy the house! Whenever we needed a question answered, Janis was a phone call away. She was highly recommended by friends and we are so happy that we chose her to be our realtor! A truly easy experience selling our home.
Please note that my wife’s testimonial, Linda,, was for both of us. Thanks, Glen and Linda Coverdaleo
Janis Fuhrman is the consummate professional. She is knowledgeable and experienced. Unflagging energy. Most importantly she is kind and cares. Janis did an outstanding job selling our house. Thank you, Janis!
Janis is a lovely person. Easy to work with and knowledgeable in her job as a realtor.i would gladly recommend her to anyone I know who is looking for a realtor. It was a pleasure.
Janis Furhman is the consummate professional. We are so glad that we hired her to market our beloved 111 year old home in Ridgewood. Her knowledge of the market/community, depth of experience, calm demeanor(sense of humor when necessary!) and great design eye kept our sale right on track to closing. In addition to negotiating a fantastic price for our home, she was always accessible and kept us focused on what was important....simply a steadfast presence during what can be a daunting experience, even under the best of circumstances.
Janis Fuhrman was our salvation during the emotional experience of selling our family home of 25 years. Then she found the perfect home in Ridgewood for us to down-size to! She saved us a lot of money by helping us avoid typical mistakes because she honed in on the perfect sale price; knew how to show and advertise our house; knew the right buyers to nurture and was a fair-but-firm negotiator. Thank goodness we put our trust in her vision, discretion, contacts and experience (26 yrs in Ridgewood real estate). Our house sold at the asking price (in the high range for our neighborhood - and in the month of January) in 4 days, to very nice buyers. And with her help, we also won the new house in a brief bidding war. Janis and Terrie O'Connor's support staff were available 24/7 to fix any problems, answer any questions (there are always a lot of them), and lend moral support to both of us. EXTRA'S - Collaborative, Energetic, Cheerful, Paragon of integrity. I can't imagine a better realtor.
