Saddle River NJ,  In the active real estate marketplace in northern New Jersey, Linda Rowe-Gray, an accomplished real estate expert and licensed broker, has found great success in the industry through the combination of her multi-faceted professional background, recognized level of customer service, deep knowledge of the area, continuing industry education, and, more recently, the power of Christie’s and its industry-leading home marketing programs. Rowe-Gray is a Broker Associate® with Christie’s International Real Estate Northern New Jersey, an exclusive partner of Christie’s International Real Estate and voted its Affiliate of the Year in 2017 and 2018.

“My tremendous business experience and close connection to the communities and activities in the Saddle River area has truly made a difference. As a results-driven Realtor®, I deal only in facts and that provides the foundation for how I approach my work,” said Rowe-Gray. “’There’s no place like home’ has meaning to me, regardless of whether it is a primary home or a vacation home. Homes are where lifelong memories are made, bonds are built, and where we find comfort. Helping people find their place of comfort and memories is what drives my passion for customer service and this business.”

Rowe-Gray is a local expert, focusing on Bergen County and northern New Jersey, who can tap into her extensive network of business and personal contacts to help assist clients. Prior to her career in real estate, she served at IBM, Key Bank and American Express, where she helped transform small businesses and build worldwide financial relationships. This corporate experience has allowed her to travel the world and gain a global perspective, notions that have proved beneficial for her real estate clients. Rowe-Gray combines her unique personal touch and the benefits of technology and the internet to deliver tangible results for her clients. In 2019, she closed 20 transactions with a combined sales value of more than $10 million.

Clients regularly laud Rowe-Gray for that hands-on, straightforward approach to real estate and her ability to effectively market a property and get it sold quickly. In fact, a recent client home in Oradell, NJ, which sat on the real estate market untouched for more than three years under another real estate brokerage, sold in 24 days under Gray-Rowe’s guidance and with the support of the Christie’s real estate brand. The home sold for approximately 97 percent of its original asking price.

“You have truly done an amazing job and exceeded our expectations, on all levels, for what we needed in a real estate agent,” said Dr. Steve Hoody, the homeowner of that Oradell home. “Selling our then current home, finding us a new home that far exceeds what we were expecting, and somehow keeping our emotions stable, all at the same time, was greatly appreciated.  You have definitely earned the MVP award in our eyes.”

“The buyer of our former Oradell home wanted to close in three weeks, and with Linda we did it,” continued Hoody. “It put some strain on us moving to our next location, and we needed some extra help. Within an hour, Linda provided contacts for five different attorneys and professionals who could help us expedite our own move. Each contact took my call immediately. I could not believe how quickly she got results, all with a smile and note of confidence.”

A resident of Saddle River, Linda is a member of the Saddle River Valley Club and Saddle River Garden Club, and the Saddle River Zoning Board of Adjustment, Past President the Wandell School Education Foundation, and is active with other local and worthy causes. She is a long-standing columnist and frequent contributor to Saddle River Magazine on real estate matters.

“With her affiliation with Christie’s International Real Estate, Linda has been able to partner her deep expertise in the industry with the strength of Christie’s unparalleled corporate marketing resources and recognized level of customer service to guide her clients through all parts of the real estate process,” said Ilija Pavlovic, President and Chief Executive Officer of Christie’s International Real Estate Northern New Jersey. “Linda’s track record of completed real estate transactions demonstrates that her recipe for success is working.”
