About April...

April Hartmann is one of the most recognized Realtors in the Northern NJ and Manhattan markets. Ranked in the top 0.6% of Coldwell Banker Agents and recently named to Realtor Magazine's prestigious TOP 30 UNDER 30, April's name has long been synonymous with providing outstanding client services. After graduating from Bucknell University with a double major in Psychology and Women's Studies, April earned her real estate license at the age of 23 and began working part time as a sales agent, all the while maintaining her full time job as a home furnishings buyer for a large retailer. The real estate boom of the early 2000's brought April a flourishing influx of business and she decided to focus on real estate as her full time profession.

At the age of 25, April received Coldwell Banker's prestigious company wide Rookie of the Year award for her achievements during her first full year in Real Estate. In her first year, April sold an unprecedented $8.0 million in condos, townhomes, co-ops and single family homes. In 2005 and 2006, April received the prestigious New Jersey Circle of Excellence Sales award for her achievments in Real Estate and was named to the elite Presidents Circle of Coldwell Banker.

In August 2006, K. Hovnanian, the 7th largest developer in the country, chose April and Coldwell Banker to exclusively represent them in their waterfront developments in Hudson County. April was entrusted to represent, market and sell over 300 waterfront homes, a listing in excess of $300 million dollars. Since the inception of the listing, sales have soared as a result of April's marketing of the homes to both the public and broker community.

April's business still continues to grow rapidly, with 2008, 2009 and 2010 being her most sucessful years to date, having closed over $51.0 million in sales and ranking in NJAR's Circle of Excellence Sales Award Platinum Category in 2008 and Gold in 2009, a designation only earned by small handful of agents in the state.

In June 2008, April was named to Realtor Magazine's Top 30 Under 30. Out of 400 applicants, April was chosen by the magazine along with 29 other finalists as a true representation of success in a competitive market.

April's impressive list of satisfied clientele includes everyone from members of the NY Yankees and NY Giants to international entreprenuers, developers and financiers. April's clients appreciate not only her extensive knowledge of the Manhattan and Northern NJ markets but they also appreciate April's personal devotion to assisting them with the home of their dreams. April's primary areas of focus are luxury estates in Bergen County's Alpine, Cresskill, Englewood Cliffs and Fort Lee as well as condos and townhomes along the New Jersey Gold Coast and Manhattan.

When people are happy, they love to talk about it....

Ronnie Laiken-Former President and Chief Operating Officer Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage

April is a perfect example of getting out of something what you put in it. Instead of floor time, she focuses her efforts into a tremendous amount of farming and that strategy has proven successful and her productivity has soared.

Right from the start, April displayed the elements of a top producer and team player. She is committed to putting in the time and work necessary to attain great results and is always willing to help others. In an ever changing technological market, she is quickly learned to use all of the tools available to her advantage.

April attained the New Jersey Association of Realtors Circle of Excellence award at the Silver Level her first year in the business. She earned 19 units in her first year and a half in the business. She is intelligent, full of enthusiasm and a consistent hard worker. We are proud to have her on our team. Her future can only get brighter.

-April assisted my brother and I in purchasing several investment properties in 2009 and 2010. She not only pin pointed the properties that were priced well according to the current market, but she also created cash flow spreadsheets and ranked the properties for us in terms of profitability. She definitely deserves all of the awards, designations and recognition she has received. She works extremely hard and that is the reason for her tremendous success in a tough market.

Edward and Suzanne Chiramonte

April is an honest, knowledgeable, and above all, trustworthy real estate agent. While we were living overseas, we entrusted April with all aspects of our NJ home sale, including giving her Power of Attorney to represent us at closing. The sale of our house was a seamless process; April's abilities and care transcend all time zones! Upon our return, she recommended fantastic agents in CT for our new home and a more recent investment purchase, and her advice throughout has been extremely valuable. I would not think of working with another agent in NJ or NY.

Peggy Au and Rex Ma

We had a wonderful experience with having April list our house. She is dedicated, responsible, and extremely knowledgeable of the properties along the Gold Coast. She priced our house correctly resulting in many offers on the first week we listed our home. Not only did she find a good buyer for us, she went far and beyond to help make our closing as smooth as possible. I would highly recommend April!

Marcus and Lorin Lau

April is one of the best brokers that we've ever worked with. She not only found our home, but also helped us sell when we were ready to move on. She's honest, reliable, and always going beyond the call of duty to work for you. When our buyer gave us a low offer, she arranged a meeting where we took him through our upgrades and was able to get a much higher price. We appreciate April's professionalism and know we'll always get positive results from her!

Ray and Gail Kozikowski

I wanted to thank you for all you did to sell our unit. It is a tough time to sell but your did it. Many thanks for everything.

Lee Gitschier

My wife and I were in the difficult position of selling our condo while we were living overseas. We were truly lucky to have April representing us. She came to us highly recommended by our condominium's builder. Her expertise and insight were apparent from the onset when she made suggestions to improve the saleability of our home. She then followed up to coordinate a contractor to paint it and she personally moved some furniture into it so that perspective buyers didn't need to visualize it furnished. April added the personal touches that made us feel less vulnerable given that we were so far away; she treated the process as if she were selling her own home. We were pleased that she showed a great deal of initiative through the listing and closing processes, knowing what needed to be done and seeing to it. She sought to correcting discrepancies found during the inspection, scheduled township inspections, recommended an attorney who we were very pleased with, and was always quick to respond to emails and phone calls.

I would certainly do business with her again and recommend her wholeheartedly.

April was very professional and accessible and earned my trust by answering my questions in a timely, informative manner. April worked hard to find me the perfect home, which I am still delighted with. April was patient in explaining all of the various steps and procedures that are involved in the process of purchasing a new home. I never lost confidence in her abilities and would, without hesitation, have her act on my behalf in the future as my representative realtor.

Michael Muscanesi

-Everything has been extremely crazy these past few weeks, but I just wanted to take the opportunity to say thank you. You both have been amazingly helpful throughout the entire process and helped deliver a near perfect experience in a very tight time frame. I appreciate all the patience and hand-holding you provided, it really made my first time home buying about as easy as something like this could be. I'll be sure to pass your names along any opportunity I can.

S.Z. Esq

-We would never call anyone but you. You are our favorite.

T.K.

-I very much appreciate your caring and assisting me so much in order to purchase the apartment. I miss you!

J.G.

-You have been a pleasure to deal with always. I will recommend you to as many people as I can. Thank you for all of your help in 2005.
