MAHWAH, NJ — July 14, 2016 —Special Properties Real Estate Services, LLC, an exclusive affiliate of Christie’s International Real Estate, announced today that it has attracted four of the top real estate agents in the region to the agency as part of its expansion in northern Bergen County. With a unique business model and innovative approach to real estate, Special Properties welcomes Margaret Gregorek and The Dator Team – Bill Dator, Linda Dator, and Lauren O’Rourke – to the agency, just three months following the opening of its modern Mahwah, NJ offices.

“The success of any real estate agency lies in the enthusiasm, experience and success of its staff, especially those agents that work directly with clients on the buy and sell sides,” Vicki Gaily, Marketing Director for Special Properties Real Estate Services, LLC.  “These four successful agents bring countless years of real estate experience, as well as an extensive historical perspective and knowledge of the region. In this day and age, buying a home is a deeply personal experience, and it takes the agent’s expert counsel and depth of knowledge to create a successful customer experience.”

Margaret Gregorek, a real estate veteran and Mahwah resident for over 30 years, has built a reputation of trust, candor and professionalism. From condominiums to multi-million dollar estates, she sells real estate of all price points, with a unique specialty in the luxury home market.  As one of the top agents in Mahwah, Margaret ranked within the Top 100 associates (of approximately 3,000) with her prior agency, qualifying her for that agency brand’s Hall of Fame.  She is active with the RealSource Board of Realtors and is a member of the New Jersey Association of Realtors’ Circle of Excellence Distinguished Sales Club.

With more than 40 years of real estate experience, William “Bill” Dator, a past president of the Mahwah Chamber of Commerce, is licensed in both New Jersey and New York. He is also a licensed Certified General Real Estate Appraiser in the State of New Jersey.  As part of The Dator Team, Bill has been one of the top agents in Mahwah for many years. He has also been an active member of RealSource and was selected by their Board as Realtor of the Year. His vast knowledge of the real estate market is valuable in developing a marketing plan for client homes.
