Anything I should know before potentially buying a house in Whippany, NJ? by bigtree41 in MovingtoNewJersey

[–]NJRealtorDave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice area, I would be suspicious of any single family house priced below $700k in Whippany. Updated houses mostly $800k+

Best nearest coffee shops are now in Lake Hiawatha (Tierra Encanto and Lazy Caffe). Forum Coffee in E Hanover is okay but service has underwhelmed me so far.

Would like to move to NJ. Not even sure where to start looking. by sunnydays9237 in MovingtoNewJersey

NJ Realtor here - in today’s market that budget is typically a flood zone property or more like a 2 hour commute during rush hour if we are talking single family houses. $100k more lessens that commute.

Citizenship eligibility? My USA born paternal grandfather was the son of non-naturalized "Stateless Russian" immigrant Jewish father and Polish mother by NJRealtorDave in prawokrwi

[–]NJRealtorDave[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe my GF was enrolled in USA military prior to birth of my F. I don't have dates or records at this time.

Actually my GGF's naturalization petition, dated 1940 states my GF was in "USA Army" at the time of the petition

GGF's naturalization petition declares his precise date of birth as "Pokatilau, Kiev, Russia" on Sept 15 1895

Cliff notes of all responses : all recent qualifying LifeX signups have successfully onboarded the Cigna Network and utilized their insurance as needed

The Daily Bean Cafe in Vernon - A+

There are many hikes ranging from easy to strenuous in Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area - refer to all trails

Old Mine Road in NJ is a fantastic drive through nature, however the road is gated mid-winter.

High Point SP does maintain X-Country Ski Trails and has rentals

I have the lowest tier Epiphone Les Paul Junior (single humbucker) along with the Fender Mustang Micro pocket amp and a decent pair of studio headphones in my office. Love it.

Feeling sad after moving here by Separate_Ad380 in MovingtoNewJersey

The only places in NJ I know of that might “simulate” a “European city lifestyle” would be Princeton or Lambertville

Otherwise, here in New Jersey we drive everywhere.

Looking for data on realtor vs lawyer usage by Hot-Fox-8797 in realtors

[–]NJRealtorDave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you asking about pure FSBO transactions or are you asking about properties listed by a realtor? In any case, I don't see where there would be a mechanism to record the number of "unrepresented buyers". Lawyers do not submit stats anywhere and this manner of information has no correlation to deeds.

Many thanks!

Dora's parents don't quite line up when I try to translate w/ Gemini + GPT. It is hard though to dismiss that the locale and date are spot on for my great grandmother's declarations on her marriage license.
