Prudential New Jersey Properties is a long time real estate "resident" of New Providence occupying the corner location of the Village Shopping Center. When the Farmers’ Market opened for the season in June, however, Prudential agents Teri Danahey and Daniel Fevre added a new Prudential location – a booth each Wednesday at the Farmers’ Market. Danahey and Fevre created a comfortable "living room" under a shady tent where shoppers can sit, get out of the hot sun, visit and catch up on what’s happening with real estate. As a result, the pair has been invited to offer price opinions on the homes of several Farmers’ Market shoppers and answer lots of questions from buyers about the new homebuying incentives.
They will have handouts of:
* the latest community real estate trends
* what homes sold for
* the government incentive programs for first time buyers
* area listings
In addition, they will be doing face painting for kids from 1-6 or Hannah Montana or Spiderman ’tattoos" Their website is www.NewJerseyBestHomes.com
