"I was very discouraged at first about buying my first home, not having any luck with other realtors and mortgage companies. Not only did Jason get me to the right people, but he found my perfect first house in less than a month! He made the very stressful process of buying a house so much easier! And when he finally found the house for us, he did everything he could to make sure closing went smoothly and he even got the closing date pushed up so we got into our house even faster than expected! We were very pleased with our experience with Jason and definitely recommend him to anyone else looking for a home!"

"Margaret guided us through the purchase process with patience and knowledge; she was simply great to work with! She only showed us properties that met our needs and did not waste our time, and she was responsive to questions and getting us information that we needed. When we met, she was on time and was always a voice of reason during discussions. I would recommend her to anyone"
S. Moser
"Margaret Bethel has provided us with support and professionalism beyond words. We put two homes up for sale in the middle of the Covid 19 pandemic. She practiced social distancing and sanitation efforts in ways that made prospective buyers feel completely safe. She posted updated photos, sent us digital forms for signature, and stayed in close contact with buyer agents to ultimately complete a seamless and timely settlement. Margaret is a true gem. Her genuine and sincere commitment to Coastline Realty, buyers, sellers, and renters alike is unbeatable. We respect and appreciate you more than you will ever know, Margaret. Thank you so much for all you have done to make a difficult and challenging situation very very easy."

"Carol was amazing!!!! From her walk through for the listing we knew we were in good hands. Carol's knowledge of the market is second to none. She listened to our expectations, shared her expertise and came up with a listing price that was spot on. We signed a listing agreement on Saturday and had an offer/contract the very next Saturday!!!! Thirty day closing and off to our retirement dream."

"My boyfriend and I recently purchased a property and Jason Casella was our Realtor. After viewing what seemed about 100 properties, we found one that we wanted. Due to the property's residential/commercial percentage a mortgage was harder to obtain then usual. Jason assisted every step of the way. Even contacting different lending institutions and explaining the property details to find viable options for us as buyers. .... Buying a house is a stressful process and the right Realtor helps with some of the stress... Jason is ambitious, eager and teamed with a highly knowledgeable real estate company. We was very please with the service we received and would definitely recommend Jason Casella."

Thank you for your hard work to help us sale our house."

"Jason helped us purchase our first home. He worked to get us in our house fast and made sure to answer any questions we had. He took us to see whatever homes we wanted to see when it worked for us. He was very easy going. Very thankful we switched realtor's because after switching to Jason we got into our house within weeks where as we were working with one realtor for months and they were not very helpful!"
J. Hayley
"My experience with Jason was truly the best. Its my first home and I really had many questions which he was able to answer right away. If anyone needs a realtor hes the one without a doubt."

Zillow Review
"My wife and I would highly recommend Bojidar as a real estate agent. We greatly appreciate his professional approach, vast knowledge, attention to details, quick responsiveness, and persistence. We are glad that we chose to work with him when we decided to sell our home in Lower Township last year."
Botevista
"Best real estate agent!!! As First time Home buyers we had so many questions and concerns but he was there for us throughout the entire home buying process. He never lost patience with our daily calls. And if we were unsure about something, he would do his best to assure us while he gave us his expertise advices. Our home purchase would not have been possible without Bob and his hard work. We highly recommend him for anyone looking to buy a home in Cape May area!"
Peter and Dora
"Ken did an excellent job for us. We worked with him over several years and in that time he was always patient and helpful, showing us a number of homes. He knows Cape May and the people in Cape May well. His work from contract to closing made the transaction seamless. I would highly recommend Ken to anyone looking to buy in Cape May."
Zillow Review
"Ken handled our purchase of a townhouse in Victoria's Walk in Cape May in 2010. He has continued to assist us, along with the incredible Coastline team, in rentIng the unit. Ken's local knowledge was very helpful during the purchase. He not only sourced the unit for us but also was well-versed regarding market valuations and gave us excellent advice as we bid on the unit. He was also actively involved in negotiations and from signing to closing on the purchase. When we had the potential of a delayed closing, Ken went the extra mile and drove over two hours to deliver documents to ensure a timely closing. We would highly recommend Ken and the rest of the Coastline team."

"Wonderful experience all in all! Highly recommend. Thanks Jody for our wonderful shore home. I hope to continue using your services in the future with assistance listing our home as a rental."
Burke
"If you want to sell your house, ask Jody for his help. His knowledge and skills are fantastic very HONEST real estate professional! He took care of everything, and I had no worries. I felt his confidence and knew he could do the job and within a short period of time my home was sold. My home was on the market before Jodi for a year and never had any bites, within 5 weeks I had an offer and it was accepted. JODY IS THE BEST REALTOR, YOU WON'T GO WRONG WITH HIM!!"
Forzato
"From the time we shook hands, Jody had a thousand questions that pushed me into the right house. And yes, I found THE RIGHT HOME. Jody is always available, (I think I interrupted dinner a few times), but is not pushy at all. You won't find him calling or texting daily. When he finds an appropriate property, you will receive and email, and scheduling becomes quick and easy. In summary, my son and I were happy to have worked with Jody, and he is a big reason we found our wonderful new home."

"Kim was extremely helpful in selling our Cape May house! She is very easy and pleasant to work with. She responded to any issues or concerns almost immediately and ensured closing was a smooth process. She is a seasoned pro that knows the Cape May market very well. You can't go wrong with Kim!"
Fly Boy

Definitely, the best realtor I ever dealt with and I will continue doing business with her. When your dealing with Kim Gipple your dealing with the best in the business!!"
Lanzetta
"Kim agreed to an open house on Easter Sunday which led directly to the sale of our home. This was beyond our expectations of the services that a realtor should render. She has in-depth knowledge of the Cape May area market, an understanding of competitive pricing and always follows through with every request made of her."
W.S.
"Kim helped us sell and buy a new home. She truly SOLD our old home. She was able to do this by providing the potential buyers with all the needed information about our home and neighborhood. She held many opened houses and advertised very well. I truly believe that our house would not have sold so quickly without all the hard work that she did. She also helped us find the perfect new home. She worked overtime in helping us obtain our dream home. Thank you so much Kim."
Elyons
"We have bought other properties during our life. Margaret Bethel is by far and away the best realtor we have ever dealt with. She represented us as buyer's realtor. She was extremely knowledgeable; moreover, she was extraordinarily approachable. She always answered are inquiries in a very timely matter. She also took proactive steps in assuring we were protected. She was also a very pleasant person to deal with."
J and C Sczepanski
"We appreciate Margaret’s hard work and her extreme local and real estate knowledge. She succeeded where others have not to obtain the best price for our home. She is professional and takes the extra steps to tie-up loose ends. She is very pleasant to detail with and always returns our calls. The closing went very smoothly and we will be sure to use Margaret again when selecting a realtor."
S. Bradley
"We have worked with Ed on both rentals and a purchase. Ed is patient, knowledgeable, and offers his clients sound advice. He has a strong knowledge of the local market."
D. Tower
"First and foremost, Ed is the classic gentleman. He had the patience to hang in there with us in our shopping phase as we considered other cities, not just multiple properties. He asked enough questions to sort out what we were looking for and his knowledge of Cape May sold us on the town, the life style as well as our property. As I write this, we've been in our " canal house " for over a year and a half and couldn't be happier. It's the go-to place for our kids, grandkids, family and friends. Just what we were looking for."
Nancy
"Ed was great to work with and very personable, patient, and attentive throughout the whole process. He was also very accommodating with my schedule to show me places and seemed to immediately understand what I was looking for and didn't waste my time with places HE wanted to show me, instead, showed me places that fit my criteria. He was also very knowledgeable about the area. I am extremely happy with the place he found for me and I highly recommend Ed for any real estate situation."
J. Downey
"Holly is a professional and experienced real estate agent. She was knowledgeable about the homes and the area of our search. Holly was available during the buying process when needed. We bought our home while living in another state she made us feel at ease with the entire process. I would highly recommend her and as a matter of fact have to my friends."

"Bonnie really knows the Cape May market not just on the island but the surrounding communities. She is extremely professional, hard working and honest. I have worked with her for several years regarding a rental. I would not use anyone else."
D. Rump
"Bonnie recently helped me find my dream home at the beach. She is very responsive and quickly returned my phone calls and answered emails. Bonnie was great to work with and also put me in touch with extremely responsive and knowledgeable people for services I would need to finalize the home purchase (lender, insurance, etc)."
D. McGonagle
"Looking for a beachfront/view property working within the budget I had was a challenge and when I saw what I wanted, Tai was right there to show me the one I liked, but also to make me aware of others that might be a good fit too...he also helped to negotiate the $ down and my being out-of-state was no problem with having the settlement in PA. Very personable & kept me informed of everything even when I was not always easy to reach. Very Professional ~ Enjoyed doing business with him & Coastline Realty! I'm delighted with this outcome."
S.G.
"Tai Menz was the best. He always answers the phone or calls you right back. He was so helpful through a long process of buying a new construction house. In the end house is beautiful and Tai did a fantastic job. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell there home. Thank you for all the work you did it was great doing business."
Robert
"Tai was the first agent to respond when we submitted an online inquiry. He was quick to arrange the showing and line up additional properties for consideration. Although we had no prior knowledge of Tai or his agency, we were more than impressed by his knowledge of the area. Tai was quick to respond, almost instantly, to any questions or concerns we may have had from showings until the time of closing. Tai shows a genuine interest in his clients and meeting their needs."
D. Oshinsky
"Carol is extremely knowledgeable of the market & our location. She is a "go getter". Our home was sold after being on the market for 18 days! We would have Carol represent us as both seller and buyer."
P. Wittekind
"This listing experience was a smooth process from the time we signed to list with Carol Menz till the time we closed. Pictures of our home were lovely in the MLS and her team was qualified and knowledgable in all the areas of the real estate market today. If we have any other real estate needs in the future we will not hesitate to use or contact Carol Menz and her associates."
E. J.
"We just purchased a vacation home in Cape May Point with Carol representing us as buyers. We've bought several properties over the years, dealt with numerous real estate agents and Carol was by far the most professional and helpful we've encountered. She networked our fire insurance, home inspection, elevation and surveying contractors, all of whom were top notch. Carol even found us a mortgage broker at the last minute when our primary lender "misplaced" some of our paperwork, which impeded our closing on time (we should have used Carol's broker from the start. Our bad.) Carol obviously loves her job and her efforts on our behalf reflect that."
B. Comfort
"Carol and her team are exceptional. Once I expressed an interest in purchasing a home in Cape May, Carol regularly followed up so I was aware of current listings. After the right home became available and Carol guided me through the offer process, Carol and her team handled everything promptly and professionally so that I was able to close quickly and easily. Carol and her team are professional, diligent and friendly and I'm certain no one knows the market better. I was so impressed with the purchase that her team now handles the renting of the home for me."
D. Szeker
"Carol is helping my wife and I with selling our home in Cape May. She and her staff have been very professional and have impressed us with the volume of showings and open houses she has had. She is truly motivated to help you sel your home. No regrets!"
M. Romberger
"Ami was exceptional at taking care of everything from helping me locate and look at properties that were perfect for me. Once we found the one she took care of everything to make sure the deal was completed as quick as possible it was a joy working with her and would absolutely hire her again."
L. Belly
"Ami is beyond compare! She has helped us over the past 10 years close on our first house, rent that house - repeatedly sold out each year, and continue to look for additional properties. We just closed on another home with her and she held our hands throughout the process, providing a very detailed timeline to ensure all went smoothly, and checking in frequently (while not seeming like a pest) to make sure we were happy and all set. Ami and her support team at Coastline Realty are a Cape May diamond!"
J. Ungvary
"Ami was a joy to work with! We now have the house of our dreams thanks to Ami! Ami knows Cape May and our favorite- Town Bank!! I will always refer to Ami because of her expertise and knowledge base! Ami is the ultimate professional as well- Ami is very responsive to phone calls, e-mails, and in meetings!"
K. Dwinal
"Thank you Ami! We could not have asked for a better realtor through out this entire process of selling and purchasing a new home. Ami has offered us great advice that has made us more money than we thought and she sold our home 2 days after listing it! Ami has also shown us countless homes that we wanted to see last minute without any hesitation and always responds immediately to any questions or concerns. Ami has made this process fun and enjoyable with her happy and upbeat personality. Thank you Ami because of your hard work and passion for what you do we have sold our home for our asking price and have purchased the exact house we have been searching for, We can't say enough good things about you and the diligent hard work you have put in, many thanks. If anyone is reading this review and is looking for a realtor to buy or sell a home contact Ami Menz immediately."
D. Vanaman
"We've worked with Ami for ten years as home-buyers and home-sellers. She has consistently been a highly skilled agent, always paying attention to the important details as well as the big picture. She communicates timely and in any medium required (e-mail, text, apps) and she is not afraid to give her opinion when it will help resolve a problem. She knows her markets better than anyone."
