Paula W. sold a home in South Orange

There is no one better than the Lichtman-Rabney Team for real estate in Essex County! Fran and Randy are superb and I only want to work with them for my future real estate needs. No one is more knowledgeable about Maplewood, South Orange or Montclair and no one commits themselves more than Fran and Randy to working effectively with you to successfully list and sell your property quickly.

Cathy R. sold a home in Orange

I am extremely pleased with the service that I received from the Lichtman Rabney Group. I originally worked with Realtor-Broker Ms. Fran Lichtman to buy a home in 2019. Then in 2020, when I wanted to sell a rental property, she was the ONLY person I called because my previous experience with her was GREAT. Fran is forthright, and honest. The system that they have going on at The Hearth Group is TOP NOTCH. They go the extra mile - do the little things - give references to other vendors, do a lot of legwork to help sellers, etc. In fact, after one week of listing my rental property on the MLS, I had a !!!!!whopping 25 offers!!!!!!, with the majority of them over asking price.Fran and team were able to guide me in providing repairs that buyers would be looking for in a new home. Overall, the Lichtman-Rabney Group is very professional, experienced and helpful. I highly recommend them for your real estate needs. They are my GO TO folks-They are just THAT GOOD!

Meredith G. sold a home in Maplewood and Montclair

We bought and sold twice with the Lichtman- Rabney team. Their knowledge of the area and their ability to match the needs of my family with the most suitable home and neighborhood was spot on. You will not be disappointed.

Judy B. bought a home in Maplewood

The qualities I value most in the Lichtman-Rabney Team are their kindness and helpfulness, their capacity to truly hear and respond to what the client needs/wants, and their level-headedness throughout a process that's often extremely pressured, tense, and reactive. Fran and Randy display the knowledge, expertise, and negotiation skills expected in a top-notch broker. But/and they go beyond those assets in their genuine approach to supporting a client in finding and purchasing a home. Clearly their priority is client satisfaction, and that takes precedence over making a sale.

Sharifa A. sold a home in Seven Oaks,Orange

Fran and team helped me out so much. I reached out to her while I was out of town and she met with me upon my return. She worked with me to get my house on the market by my deadline. She recommended at super staging company. Their sales technique was top of the line. My house was off the market in 4 days and we had people begging to see it while it was under contract. Would totally recommend them. Also they have the knowledge of the area from Bloomfield to Montclair and beyond!
