"Kristen was everything we could have hoped for in a real estate agent and more. From start to finish, she was a fierce advocate for our interests, helping us secure a price we were truly happy with and navigating every detail of the process with confidence and communicating difficult topics with clarity. Her commitment to us was present from the start; she was always available when we needed her and always offered solutions, advice, or encouragement when things got stressful. Her professionalism, responsiveness, and sharp instincts gave us peace of mind throughout the entire process. What really sets Kristen apart, though, is how much she genuinely cares. Her reputation in the community and among past clients is outstanding, and now we fully understand why. She’s charismatic, incredibly thoughtful, and goes far beyond what’s expected. Even well after we closed and moved in, she reached out during a particularly bad storm just to make sure we were okay. That kind of follow-through demonstrates the kind of person she is. Kristen played a paramount role in our home search, and we feel incredibly lucky to have had her on our side. We will 100% be reaching out to her again if we ever need real estate services in the future, and we could not recommend her more strongly."

"Kristen Lichtenthal was a fantastic agent to work with. She helped us purchase our first home in Westfield, New Jersey. Although we were extremely particular about the type of home we wanted and its location in Westfield, Kristen was always supportive and helpful. She was also incredibly honest, and we never once felt that she was putting the sale before our personal interests. When she thought a home wasn’t right for us, she made sure to tell us. And when she thought a house was priced too high or was deceptive in some way, she would highlight those concerns. Kristen caught on to what we were looking for very quickly, and she never wasted our time. She was also always mindful that we have kids and had to travel over an hour to get to Westfield, so the houses on each of our trips were always thoughtfully scheduled. Kristen was also instrumental in the negotiations for the home we eventually targeted. She was available every step of the way from our initial offer to the inspection and eventual contract drafting. She referred us to excellent and efficient inspectors, and an available and extremely capable real estate attorney. This was the first property we had ever purchased in New Jersey, and Kristen made sure we understood what was going on and what we were getting into. She provided us with a framework for home ownership, down to which utilities we needed to activate and what we had to do about our lawn and landscaping. She even helped us procure homeowner’s insurance and get our children enrolled in school. After the sale, Kristen was also there for us for a variety of other needs. When we considered renovations to the home, she helped us locate a general contractor whom we hired. When our kids needed a primary care doctor, she referred us to the pediatric practice where they now go. When we needed help navigating all of the after-school and weekend activities that children in Westfield sign up for, Kristen provided (and still provides) detailed and honest accounts of everything that is out there. Kristen helped us find a perfect home, purchase it, and then prepare it to be lived in. But she also helped us effortlessly transition to a new town and a new lifestyle. We are really quite happy that we were able to meet Kristen, and we highly recommend her as an agent and a friend."

"Kristen is the best in Mountainside, Scotch Plains, Westfield, and Cranford. She is caring, thoughtful, considerate, and always available. Each time she showed us a house, she watched our two little rascals under four, so we could walk through houses in peace. She has expert local knowledge and knows all the great neighborhoods and parks. Even though we didn’t end up buying with her (we found a home in another town that another agent specializes in), I would highly recommend her! Kristen is amazing!"

"Kristen Lichtenthal is by far the best realtor we have ever worked with! We made a move within Westfield, and she was so helpful on both ends; we wouldn't have been so successful without her expert advice. She always had our best interests at heart, especially explaining to us what was going on in the marketplace and when to make a 'move' and when to hold tight. She also recommends great people to work with for inspections, lawyers, etc. Working with Kristen is a no-brainer. She will make the entire home-buying and selling process easy."

"Working with Kristen Lichtenthal was such a great experience. My husband and I bought a new property in Westfield, where we were already living.

"Kristen Lichtenthal was our realtor when we purchased our first home in Scotch Plains four years ago. She made the experience much less stressful with her knowledge and positive attitude. When our first deal fell through because of seller issues, she made us feel like a better house would come our way, and she was right! We found the perfect home for our growing family thanks to Kristen's dedication. We never felt pressured or rushed to make any decisions. She was a dream! I feel like we have a lifelong relationship with Kristen because she's just that great of a person and realtor! Anyone that's lucky enough to work with her will have an amazing experience."

"We worked with Kristen Lichtenthal to buy our house in Westfield. She was incredible. Easy to work with, knowledgeable about the area, and so honest and transparent about the houses we were seeing and the entire process. She was patient with us and our extreme pickiness, and helped us navigate successfully through a bidding war to find our house. I would hire Kristen again in a heartbeat and recommend her to anyone who is looking in Westfield."

"If you're looking for a trustworthy, helpful, kind, and honest realtor in the Westfield area, look no further! Kristen Lichtenthal helped my husband and me purchase our first home in March after our friends had such an amazing experience working with her. As first-time homebuyers, we were nervous at first, but Kristen was there every step of the way. She was very responsive, understood our wants and needs, and helped us navigate the process. We would highly recommend working with her."

"Kristen Lichtenthal is the realtor you want in your home journey. She is an expert, and I wouldn’t sell or purchase a home without her advice and expertise. She was so helpful and really understood what was best for our budget and family. The most important characteristic that Kristen has is patience. We sold a house in Westfield, NJ, and a condo in Springfield, NJ, and purchased a house in Westfield, NJ, all with Kristen. These transactions did not happen overnight. Kristen was on our side, and her expertise and patience helped us accomplish our goals in our house search. You want Kristen on your team to help accomplish your real estate goals for you and your family."

"Our family cannot say enough wonderful things about Kristen! Our young family was starting to entertain leaving NYC for the suburbs when COVID hit in March 2020. Knowing it was not an option to continue our apartment residence, Kristen got on the case, helping navigate a very tricky time in the world! She was an amazing support system in finding a home (which was limited due to many people taking their homes off the market). We found and arranged a 30-day close for the end of May. Kristen was available every step of the way, day or night. This was particularly important as we were first-time homeowners juggling many parts of the purchasing process quite quickly. What really drew us to Kristen is how authentic she is. She does not try to pressure you or influence you. She is respectful and provides her opinion when asked. She was also able to help provide guidance to different neighborhoods, as she herself lives in the town where we purchased our home. We love Kristen so much that we were thrilled when she helped find our sister or brother-in-law their home down the street!"

"We recently used Kristen Lichtenthal to find a rental in Westfield, NJ, and had a fantastic experience. We really needed someone who would be overly communicative, as we were moving to the area from out of state and had to rely on her guidance, as we were unfamiliar with the area and what our expectations should be. Even in a very competitive rental market, Kristen found us the perfect home, was able to show it to us virtually, coached us on whether or not the location would be good, and locked it in before it disappeared. Even after everything was done, she's been incredibly helpful in giving us recommendations around the area and getting us settled into our new town. When you have to rent sight unseen from the other side of the country, you really need someone whom you can trust. Luckily for us, Kristen proved that we trusted the right person to help us out."

"Kristen Lichtenthal was my realtor for the purchase of our home in Cranford, NJ, and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience. Kristen is a savvy, kind, and serious professional. She is leaps and bounds above other realtors in terms of her ability to navigate the very complex real estate market. After we moved into our home, she even helped us with things like real estate taxes. She is def more than the person who will open the front door. Not all agents are created equal, and Kristen is among the best. No one can tell you how much to bid; you can only do what you're comfortable with (as Kristen says), but a good agent can help you navigate all the complexities of the process and make great referrals, which Kristen did. Everyone she recommended, from the inspector to the landscaper, is excellent."

"Looking for a new house in a new state and town is a very stressful process, but it doesn’t have to be. What you need is the right person, and we are so happy we found Kristen Lichtenthal to help us buy our home in Westfield. Kristen definitely knows her stuff and made the entire transaction super painless. She followed up and followed through. Our sellers were a real pain to deal with, unresponsive, ghosting us like it was our second date. But Kristen was persistent and got us the best deal in record time. This was my fourth real estate transaction, and it was definitely the best one I had experienced."

"Kristen is just the best! We started looking for houses in Monmouth County, and once we decided to continue our search in the Scotch Plains area, our current realtor sent us her way. Working with her was the best decision we made! She found us our home. As first-time home buyers, she was with us every step of the way, from our initial phone call to close. She’s honest, super easy to work with, and is always responsive. Highly recommend working with Kristen!"

"Kristen was one of a kind! Not only was she extremely knowledgeable in the field, but she was also attentive, warm, and energetic in finding us a home. Our main target area was Cranford, and after meeting her, we knew immediately we could trust her with such a big financial decision. As first-time homebuyers, she helped and guided us through the process seamlessly. She didn’t just send us the automated email you get of all the homes being sold in the area, but was proactive in sending us homes coming on the market, and had a daily conversation on potential listings that she felt checked our boxes. As you know, this can be a very stressful time, but with her connections and contacts in the field, we didn’t have to go searching for a home inspector, pre-approval letter for home owners' insurance, etc. Even after buying the house, she gave us the company to sand our floors ( which by the way did an amazing job) and many other resources to help us get settled as we also had a baby on the way (first-time parents). Overall, I highly recommend her as a realtor and, after all is said and done, becoming a true friend."
