If you're a first-time homebuyer in Union County - especially Cranford, Westfield, or the surrounding neighborhoods and you're feeling overwhelmed and unsure where to start and who to trust stop everything right now and call Sharon Steele. She is, without a doubt, the best real estate agent you will ever work with. We were first-time buyers relocating from NYC, and the process felt intimidating, overwhelming and unclear until Sharon entered the picture. We were referred to Sharon and told that she was “the Queen of Cranford real estate.” And boy did she live up to that title with 100% accuracy - and that doesn’t even capture just how special she truly is. From our first conversation, Sharon treated us like we were her only clients. She even scheduled a 90-minute call just to walk us through a sample contract, line by line, answering every question we had with patience and clarity (before we even stepped foot in a prospective house). Her goal wasn’t to sell us a house quickly - her goal was to empower us, educate us, and help us find the right home for us. We immediately felt safe, cared for, informed, and most importantly, we felt heard and respected. One of Sharon’s greatest strengths is her ability to meet people where they are. She took the time to understand both my husband and me as individuals - our personalities, our priorities, even the way we process information, and she seamlessly blended our needs into a unified vision (she’s a pro people). She became the perfect bridge between our perspectives, ensuring we both felt heard, understood, and excited about every step. Sharon really took the time to get to know us as a couple. She asked thoughtful questions, picked up on our preferences before we verbalized them, and quickly became someone we trusted implicitly. She was consultative without ever being pushy. At every showing, she was already two steps ahead, zeroing in on the features we’d care about most and steering us away from anything that would be a mismatch. Her insight saved us time and frustration, and was much appreciated throughout every step of the process. She always presented the pros and cons of every single property and respected our pace and comfort. She is a straight shooter, absolutely hilarious and so fun to be around and work with. Weekend home tours with her became the highlight of our week. She is an absolute joy to work with. She showed us homes throughout Cranford, Westfield and Berkeley Heights (but we REALLY wanted Cranford). Before she even showed us the house we now call home, she knew it was the one for us. Sharon had an uncanny ability to understand exactly what we were looking for and her instinct for what would resonate with us was nothing short of remarkable. Sharon understood our must-haves and deal-breakers so deeply that we often found ourselves nodding in agreement before she even finished pointing them out. She would walk into a home and know instantly whether or not it was a fit for us - she truly has a gift for reading her clients. Her intuitive grasp of what we wanted in a home made the process feel effortless. So much so that the second we stepped foot in our house, we knew instantly that it was our forever home. Her support didn’t stop after we found the house. She guided us throughout the negotiation and offer process with ease and confidence. We knew that we had Sharon in our corner every step of the way. Thanks to her guidance, expansive network, and expertise, we bought our dream home in Cranford. Sharon is the absolute BEST realtor in Union County for a reason:Her deep knowledge and expertise in the local market is unmatched.She has a dream team network of referrals - our inspector and attorney were both phenomenal.Her communication and transparency are absolutely flawless. (we loved that she was always available whenever we needed her or had a question via text and phone)Her emotional intelligence and ability to guide you through the rollercoaster of buying a home is a superpower in real estate.

How do you begin to put into words to write out a review for someone that you owe everything to let alone only to give them a max of a 5-star rating when it came to making a dream of purchasing a home in the extremely competitive Central/Northern, NJ housing market a reality? To just simply write that Sharon is the “Best real estate agent” out there, doesn’t begin to do it justice for everything Sharon has done for myself and my longtime partner in our homebuying experience. It was a long and bumpy road in what took over 2 years for this dream to come true but Sharon stuck with us through it all each and every step of the way. Through all the tough times of several rejected offers, Sharon was the light we needed to keep us inspired and motivated to keep going and never losing hope that our time will come. When that time did come and our offer was accepted in a beautiful part of Somerset County, Sharon broke down every step of the process in a manner that was clear and easy to understand while also providing professional contacts in her network along the way to ultimately get us to the closing table in the best possible position. Sharon is far above and beyond a top real estate agent, she is the ultimate professional, an unbelievable wealth of knowledge in every facet on the market itself and the homebuying process. Her passion, drive, honesty, communication, compassionate listening skills, patience and expertise is simply unmatched. We knew from our very first conversation with Sharon years ago and every day thereafter that we are so lucky to have her in our corner. There is no one else out there that we would trust more if we had to do it all over again and in the end, we are so grateful to be able to call Sharon a dear friend!

Sharon was simply amazing, since the first quick conversation we had over the phone, when we first start thinking about buying our first home.My husband and I rented a house in Cranford NJ for over 2 years and always dreaming of having our own place. During all this time we have been receiving Sharon’s publicity in our mailbox. I started collecting them, as they are always drawings of our town, from local artists. The day we decided to take the big step, I thought of those pictures and the real state agent behind them, and gave her a call. Best decision I could have ever made!Sharon was an angel, right from the start . Honest, straightforward, thorough, competent and kind are a few of the many good ways I can describe her. Sharon worked tirelessly until we found the perfect house to nest our home. I know not every process is the same, but we needed ours to be quick and it was. In less then 4 months, we went from that quick first phone call to getting out keys.Can’t thank her enough. I will always recommend her and if I ever decide to go that route again, I’m sure she’s the way to go!!!Best real state agent EVER!!!
