The Township of Cranford is nearly 5 square miles located exactly in the middle of Union County.First incorporated as a town in 1871, Cranford is still a thriving and growing community.  In the late 1800's through the first few decades of the 1900's, Cranford was a resort destination.  With railroad access to and from New York City, many wealthy city dwellers would spend summers in Cranford, enjoying the warm days along the Rahway River.  Many of the early residents of Cranford were wealthy commuters that worked in New York City.  Today, commuting into New York City is easy from Cranford with several bus routes as well as trains running to Newark-Penn all day and New York-Penn during non-peak hours.Today the town has a population of just over 22,000.  It is home to main campus of Union ... 10/02/2016

Do you have too much house? If the kids have moved out and cleaning 3 bathrooms, mowing the lawn, and heating and cooling 4 bedrooms is getting old, then it might be time to downsize.

Perhaps your location is ideal for your job and you’re not ready to retire. Maybe the kids live close and you want to stay near them. After the real estate bust, some homeowners who might have been ready to downsize postponed doing it until their home regained its market value. With market improvements for several years, you might be surprised at how much your home is worth. A simple phone call to a professional real estate age... 08/14/2016

When I first got into Real Estate, 9 short years ago, I sent friend requests on Facebook to anyone who graduated from my high school (and, yes, that is my high school yearbook photo).  I searched for graduates from 15 years before I graduated  (to cover my siblings's friends) to 10 years after I graduated and added several hundred new friends to my personal Facebook account, all with ties to Cranford where we do a lot of business and all with friends with ties to the town. For years, I posted real estate articles on Facebook, mixed with my personal musings, usually about music or astronomy.  Eventually, we joined Active Rain and learned how to write market reports and started posting them to Facebook.  People in Cranford started to recognize us as the people who know Cranford's real est... 07/12/2016
