Who I Help
Staten Island homeowners planning a move to New Jersey in the next 0 to 18 months. Families ready to upgrade square footage, school district, or backyard. Sellers who want one realtor handling both states, not two who don't talk. Buyers searching Monmouth, Middlesex, or Somerset County for the right town and the right price. Anyone who wants a clear timeline, a written plan, and protected equity through the transition.
Why Staten Islanders Are Moving to New Jersey?
More space inside and out. Top-ranked public schools (as per Niche.com). Modern construction, walkable downtowns, and express transit back to NYC. In the past year, 65% of my sellers made the move from Staten Island to a New Jersey suburb. None of them have looked back.

Meet Allison Mireau
I sold my own home on Staten Island and every one of my family's homes there too. I got licensed in New York first, then New Jersey, and moved my family to Somerset County, where we still live. Then I built a business helping other Staten Island families make the same move with way less chaos. Today I run Real Connect Group, brokered by eXp Realty, lead a small team across both states, and have helped dozens of families relocate without losing money or sleep.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are you licensed in both New York and New Jersey?
Yes. I hold an active real estate license in New York (Staten Island and the rest of NYC) and an active license in New Jersey, which means I can list your Staten Island home and represent you on your NJ purchase under one agreement.
How long does a typical Staten Island to New Jersey move take?
If you're selling and buying, a Staten Island sale runs roughly 60–90 days. Add 30–45 days to find a home in New Jersey. End-to-end, you can be in your new house within about 12 weeks. New Jersey typically closes faster than Staten Island. All of this assumes no issues; timelines move with the deal.
Do I sell my Staten Island home first or buy in NJ first?
If you need the money from your sale to fund the next purchase, you sell first. If you don't, you don't have to. The answer turns on your financing position, not a one-size-fits-all rule. We'll walk through your numbers in the consult.
Which New Jersey towns do you cover?
We specialize in Monmouth, Middlesex, and Somerset County for now. As our team grows, we'll take on more areas, but these are our three core counties today.
What is the New Jersey attorney review period?
New Jersey gives both sides a 1–3 business day attorney review window after contract signing. During that window, either attorney can renegotiate or back out. Our strategy is to close attorney review as fast as humanly possible because during that window, the seller can still entertain other offers on the house.
How are property taxes different between Staten Island and New Jersey?
Staten Island property taxes run roughly 0.7% to 0.9% of assessed value. New Jersey taxes are visibly higher per dollar of home value — typically 1.8% to 2.5% depending on the town. Most SI sellers still come out ahead after the move because NJ home values per square foot are lower, school spending is funded through those taxes, and the total cost-of-living math usually favors NJ.
