How long have you lived here and/or why did you
move here?
We have lived in Westfield for only three weeks! We fell in love
with the town of Westfield. Some friends and neighbors of ours
had moved to town and recommended their realtor, Jaynie
Carlucci, to help us. The very first home we looked at is the
house we ended up buying though it did not happen that easy!
The owners originally accepted an offer before we had a chance
to make a move. We then looked at several towns and homes
but everything always came back to Westfield and THAT house.
With a lucky twist, the original deal did not work out so we were
quick to jump at the opportunity to buy our dream home!
Tell us what you love about the town and people of
Westfield.
We loved the downtown and all the smiles. There is a nice charm
to the town that made us excited to make the move to the NJ
Suburbs. Integrity • Dedication • Results
