"There are many great things I can say about Jacqueline and her services, but I would be here writing a book, so I’ll try and keep it short. For starters from day 1, she was confident, responsive, and very knowledgeable in all areas that I had questions. She left a lasting impression on me so I knew she was the person I needed to hire. Jacqueline was a beast (beauty) when it came to negotiations, and making sure we got exactly what we wanted and needed. She listened to exactly what we were looking for and executed beyond expectations. She gave great advice and recommendations when it came to getting a team( mortgage lender, attorneys, inspectors) to join us on our journey. She made this experience very exciting to the point that it also made me interested in learning about real estate. My family and I are forever grateful and thankful to Jacqueline and her team!!"

"Shantell was amazing and helped my find my 1st house. I appreciated that she stayed within my budget and knew what I wanted and needed. Some realtors go above your budget and I didn’t like that. She kept me in the loop at all times. Purchasing a home for the first time is scary but having someone hold your hand through it to assure you everything is going smooth is very much needed. I would recommend Shantell as your realtor!."

"Quick, fast, and efficient. My mother and I are very thankful we were able to work with Jaqueline, she is very knowledgeable on the industry. I would highly recommend her, not only did she help us buy a property, she helped us rent it out too, all within a month. What I loved most was her availability to me due to my conflicting schedule, we saw a lot of homes and Jaqualine was very open to seeing properties multiple times until we decided what to buy. She was very helpful, fun to work with and full of reliable advices."

- robert sanchez  |  11/23/2020

"My experience with Marcus has been nothing short of amazing. He has been so helpful. When I initially reached out to him, I was looking for an apartment to rent. After explaining my plan and needs to Marcus, he informed me that I could just start looking for a home instead of an apartment. His guidance, availability and transparency was beyond appreciated. Based on my experience, my mother has already stated she will be reaching out to him when she plans to sell her home. If you are looking for someone who is knowledgeable then you best bet it to hire Marcus Warner."

- Ashley Townsend  |  10/30/2020

"Jacqueline listed and sold my condo on 133 N. Maple Ave. in Sept. 2020. She listed it Aug. 21and 3 days later on Aug. 24, I had 2 offers (1 offer over asking price). I closed on Sept.21. She walked me though the whole process which made it stress free. Jacqueline is an expert in marketing and in all aspects of real estate. She has a great knowledge of the different areas in regards to pricing and value. Since 2012, I have been working with Jacqueline in listing and providing qualified renters for my properties. She is very positive, friendly and professional. I would highly recommend her."

You can trust him again and again  with all humility and you will never regret it.

He gave me and my family the best of advise, he encouraged us per time, He gave us the opportunity to see and make decisions and backed  us up with expectations and experience.

"I began my home owning journey in December of 2018. I found Shantell Lucas on a realtor search engine. I was looking for someone I saw on Instagram showing houses in Newark NJ, but as fate would have it I accidentally found the most extraordinary and hard-working real estate agent of them all. I grew up in Brooklyn, NY and was living in New Rochelle NY at the time. I wanted to buy a house in New Jersey because the house prices fit my budget, but I had no clue what I was about to get myself into.  I called Shantell, and within five minutes of talking to her I knew that she was exactly who I wanted to work with. She was young, vibrant, professional, down to earth, informative and most importantly; she grew up in NJ. Thereafter, I met up with Shantell in East Orange for our first viewing. I immediately fell in love with her demeanor. As we walked through the house together, she pointed out things that my virgin eyes could have easily missed. She was more than I could have asked for. As time progressed I realized that I wasn’t as ready to purchase a home as I thought. I spoke to Shantell about my concerns, mostly that I needed to save more money for closing and the down payment. She understood and told me she would reach out to me in three months. So said, so done. In March of 2019, I got a text msg followed by a phone call from Shantell. I was now prepared to purchase and we immediately started looking at houses.

Some of my offers were not accepted and some were. In May of 2019, I got an offer accepted on one house in particular that I loved. My team and I got all the way up to inspection, but the inspection report was not good. At the time I was eager to purchase and really considered purchasing the house. Shantell sat me down and had a serious conversation with me. She told me that she didn’t feel comfortable with me purchasing this house and she knew that she would be able to find me something better. I withdrew my offer. Two weeks later, while I was on vacation for Memorial Day. Shantell called me to say that she had just left an open house for a huge 3 family house that was in my budget. I trusted her judgement so much that I blindly put an offer on the house. I didn’t see the house until after my offer was accepted. Everything went well with inspections and I am now the proud owner of a money maker. I couldn’t have done it without Shantell. I recommend her to everyone I know and I am still using her services. Not only does she sell houses, she finds top paying tenants for the vacant apartments. She’s not pushy with her clients but she has the perfect temperament to get your deal closed on time. I’m sure I’ve left out a ton of examples of what makes Shantell Lucas an amazing agent, but trust me, you won’t regret hiring her.."

"It was an honor to work with Shantell to find my home. She’s was very helpful and knowledgeable regarding all of my questions. The communication was very clear and timely."

- Jaylah Pickett   |  06/16/2020

"Ms. Lucas was a very big help with finding me the exact home I wanted. She’s very knowledgeable and courteous while conducting business. I would recommend her any day.."

- Malcolm McQuillar  |  06/16/2020

"Shantell is very responsive and does an amazing job prospecting and screening potential renters. She also is very insightful of local trends and has a great ability to use it towards negotiating in your behalf!"

- Shakir Phelps   |  02/12/2020

"We went through so much to get our first home and Jacqueline was there throughout the whole process, a lot of things happened making everything so difficult and sometimes almost impossible but she never gave up on us, she was there ‘til the end. I appreciate everything she did and would definitely use her again and recommend her to everyone! She’s the best out there! Thanks Jacquie! You rock! ??"

"Jacqueline Balza is nothing short of excellent. We were first time home buyers who were relocating from Pa to Nj with only a few months notice. I found Jacqueline after calling multiple agents. She was the only one out of the many who was genuinely interested in finding me a home and not just interested in the money in my pocket. She was so kind and honest with us. She made us feel so comfortable and relieved a lot of our stress by helping us in nearly every part of the process. We put Jacqueline through the ringer. We looked at 29 houses before we said yes. All the calls and texts, the appointments and time she spent did not go unnoticed. She was so patient and real, she spoke to us like we were family and pointed out many things that would have been a burden that we didn't take notice to. Jacqueline has connections with lenders, attorneys and inspectors who all went above and beyond for us as well. Jacqueline found us our home and we couldn't be happier. I would recommend her hands down!"

- ChelseaGambone   |  01/29/2020 

"Jackie is excellent!! She covered everything A-Z with ease, and made sure that my apartment was safe before moving in. She's reliable, and very professional. I'm glad I was able to rent through her. :)"

"Jacqueline was a pleasure to work with,  she is dedicated to serving her client. Her knowledge of the real estate market is 2nd to none. She always made time for me and showed great patience and paid attention to my wants,  which was very important to me.  Jacqueline is an awesome agent!"

- gospelpoet5  |  05/16/2017

"Jacqueline was the best. She was on the ball through out the whole process. From start to finish she got the job done. I will definitely contact Jacqueline next time I am looking or a home."

- gamemac |  05/14/2017

"Jacqueline worked with me to find and buy an investment property and she was a pleasure to work with over the months of searching (I was rather picky). When it came to the post-accepted offer due diligence and negotiations, she went above and beyond my expectations in keeping the process moving and addressing risks. I look forward to working with her again and recommend her wholeheartedly. Thanks again, Jackie. "

"I do a lot of work in north nj and I worked with  a lot of diferent agents and all the agents I worked with promise so much but at the end of the day they fail to deliver.but the first day I met mrs.balza I was amazed with her knowledge about newark but it doesn't limit her  with the local area but every area I wanted to buy a property. She listened to me and was able to get me what I wanted she's the first one in and the last one out every day . When ever I want to buy a property I will not buy it until I get her opinion on. Once I'm done doing construction work on the property I call her right away to get me a tenant or to resell it. She is awsome at finding great tenants every tenant she picked for me are long term nice quiet and clean and best of all pays on time.... I highly recommend her to all my other investors."

-  user2686020 |  06/29/2014

"I think Jacqueline is  extremely diligent and professional. She guided me throughout the home purchase process and pointed me to an opportunity that was above my expectations. Due to all the information given to me I now understand what I need to do to purchase my new home. Everyone should know how great she is because not all realtors are created equal."

"Jackie was awesome, she was very easy to talk with about any concerns or questions I had. She had a lot of patience and definately made me very comfortable that she was the realtor I was dealing with. Jackie always got back to me right away, and no matter what, she made herself available, even if she had a packed schedule. I would definately bring anyone I know to her because I trust her to help them as much as she has helped my family. She made my experience with Jordan Baris a very satisfied one. This girl needs a raise! Overall my experience with her has been wonderful!"

"Ms. Balza is an excellent professional with a dynamic and glowing personality. She exceeded my expections meeting with me, understanding my needs and listing my property. My listing was up and running on many major websites, within 2 days of her visit to my property, because of her amazing computer skills and expertise.   

My property was rented within 7 days due to her outstanding marketing techniques (with an excellent tenant). Her attention to detail and full review of the listing process was thorough and well-organized. She is very knowledgable of the industry. I have recommended her to other owners in my building and I would highly recommend her services to anyone."

"During the last 30 years I was buying houses for living in and as investment properties. I was working with a quite a few realtors during these years and practically never was satisfied enough to come back to them when there was a new need. I usually know exactly what I was looking for but most realtors sincerely believed that they knew better and expected me to change my plans or desires, probably to make their work easier. Jacqueline Balza is definitely the first realtor who was ready to listen, understand and step-by-step learn what was important to me. I grew up and lived for years in Europe, so my needs are usually affected by that and probably are not very usual for an average customer, but every suggestion by Jacqueline Balza was  close to my plans and expectations.  I am convinced that I have never met another realtor who would be able to bring in the results I was hoping to achieve. Just within the last several months Jacqueline Balza suggested 2 commercial investment properties, which were absolutely satisfactory to my partners and me. Both properties are multifamily brick apartment buildings exactly as we specified them for Jacqueline. I also noticed that In addition to this very professional and customer oriented approach Jacqueline Balza is very affective in developing a very positive kind of relationships with property sellers, attorneys and other parties involved in the search for properties and a closing process. I would always to be glad to recommend Jacqueline Balza to every serious customer looking for real estate purchases. I am hoping management and co-workers recognize Jacqueline’s much above average qualities and help her to establish herself on a higher level of the realtor world. Thank you and I wish you every professional and life success, Jacqueline!"

-  Eli Lisnyansky |  08/12/2012

"This is the very first time that I rented an apartment thru a realtor.  Jacqueline Balza made this first time experience a very pleasurable experience for me, the apartment was rented in a matter of a couple of weeks which made me extremely happy, this was the way to go.  Jacqueline is very professional, personable, and answers all your questions in a professional manner. I did not have any problem with Jacqueline and would recommend her without hesitation.  I have only positive things to say about Jacqueline, she will go far in her field.  I wish her all the luck in the world, she deserves it because of her behavior and professionalism.  Thank you Jacqueline.  If there is anything further, please do not hesitate to contact me."
