News & Events
Gov. Murphy signed a revised New Jersey Law on Notarial Acts which now authorizes electronic signatures.
Last year, e-notary services were authorized in response to COVID-19. New Jersey Realtors® supported allowing e-notary services on a more permanent basis and not just during a public health emergency.
The revised law permits notary publics to perform notarial acts using communications technology with evidence of a person's identity. The law went into effect on July 22.

School’s out, and as vaccination rates rise and America enters a new normal, the U.S. housing market continues along at a frenzied pace, with low interest rates and limited inventory fueling record high sales prices. May saw the median existing-home sales price exceed $350,000, a 24% increase and the largest year over-year increase since 1999, according to the National Association of REALTORS®. Eager buyers are making multiple offers, some for well over asking price, while others are making offers on homes sight unseen.
- Single Family Closed Sales were up 50.9 percent to 3,141.
- Townhouse-Condo Closed Sales were up 83.8 percent to 715.

Here Are Two Listing appointment scenarios:
Listing presentation #1:
I’ve done the market analysis on your home and recommend that we list it at $$$. Let’s thoroughly discuss this CMA, and how we will market your home for sale. I will do an exclusive listing for a period of 2 weeks. The exclusive listing will generate a real frenzy of buyers who want to see your home as there is extremely low inventory right now. Another benefit to an exclusive is that you don’t need a lockbox and a lot of people going in and out of your home all times of the day as it would be if we put it in the MLS. I will handle all appointments and showings. My company will be the one to write up all offers therefore you are only working with me. With this market there is an excellent chance we will sell your home within the 2 weeks. Of course, we can always put it in the MLS if it’s not sold by then.
Listing presentation #2:
I’ve completed the market analysis on your home and recommend that we list it at $$$. Let’s discuss the market analysis in detail, and then I can explain what marketing steps our company plans if we list your home. (At this point the agent would explain company marketing policies, benefits of putting the listing in the MLS, and showing procedures which can be set up with a lockbox or by appointment only).
Which scenario do you think is the right one? If you can’t decide, or think both are correct, keep reading….
