Besides Irene's professionalism, let me first address what I believe is her most important quality: her empathy. The sale of my parent's house took a few unforeseen twists and turns. During the entire time, Irene always made my parents feel at ease without overwhelming them with any anxiety (caused by the sale of the house). I was with Irene at many meetings with my parents and I know that my parents were made comfortable by Irene's step by step explanations and hand holding. Second, her professionalism. Every step of the way, Irene took me by the and and explained all necessary actions to be taken to drive a successful sale of the house. Other realtors might do the same but I always felt that Irene went "above and beyond." BIG TIME recommendation going forward for Irene.

Irene Zitzner and her company did an excellent job of helping me sell my house which I lived in for 43 years. As you can imagine, selling my house was difficult for me because of the attachment I had with it. Irene did a great job of encouraging me as the process went along. Her open house was sensational. We got 25 bids and a line outside of the house waiting to come in. I truly felt happy that so many people liked my house, all because Irene made sure that everything associated with the house looked outstanding. Thank you Irene!

Recently we were looking for a very unique piece of property for our business. We needed a specific amount of space, layout and location. Irene went above and beyond (and beyond and beyond!) not only to help us find and secure that property, but she did it with a smile and an amazingly professional attitude (even when circumstances were trying). We have no amount of praise that would equal how amazing our experience with her was and we HIGHLY recommend her! Thank you again for all you did for us, Irene! Laurie + Vidar Brekke

Irene did a great job in selling our home. She went out of her way to ensure that our house looked its best to generate the best offer. In addition, her knowledge of the local market was invaluable in managing our expectations and ultimately selling the home at significantly more then the sales price. She also helped us understand the process and what we needed to get done and was always on top of everything. She always responded to any questions or concerns in a timely manner which made us very comfortable that everything was being handled.

We had started to look for a retirement home in Monmouth Co, and a friend of ours had recommended Irene. On the first telephone conversation we had, she asked all the right questions of us and arranged to see a house the next day. We met in person and found her knowledgeable, friendly and efficient. The results were we put a bid in on the house and, with her guidance, we were able to close on the deal. Smooth and easy. She hooked us up with all the right folks to make the purchase hassle free. Irene got it done!

As first time home-buyers in a not-so-friendly market, we knew the path to ownership was going to be a journey. Irene supported us every step of the way acting as advisor, advocate, and coach.
Her professionalism and positive energy was exactly what we needed to navigate a tricky and unknown process. She was flexible and generous with her time, always making herself available for last minute showing or quick conversation.
Most importantly for us - Irene was extremely patient and reassuring from start to finish. Over our year of ongoing questions, skepticism, and almost-offers she never wavered in her positive approach. Irene’s constant refrain was “I’ll be here with you until we find the home that’s right for you” and we certainly did!

Working with Irene was truly an incredible experience from start to finish. She is everything you would hope for in a realtor patient, kind, eloquent, and genuinely a people person who makes you feel supported every step of the way.
From the beginning, we had a clear vision of wanting a move-in ready home. However, as the things evolved, we struggled to find something that checked all of our boxes. Through it all, Irene never gave up on us. Her diligence, optimism, and commitment kept us going even when we felt we would never find our home.
Thanks to her guidance, we found a home with great bones and feel incredibly excited about. When we walked through the doors it immediately felt like home. I could envision how we can make modifications to make our dream home come to life.
We’re looking forward to making it our own and building our future there, and we truly couldn’t have gotten to this point without Irene’s support and expertise.
On closing day, we had some last min negotiations occur and as first time home owners we felt supported by Irene who advocated for our best interests. She’s solution oriented, and presented sound options for us to feel confident that our closing terms protected us.
Irene is extremely knowledgeable, professional, and always had our best interests at heart. Irene came highly recommended to us by a friend, and now we completely understand why. We would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.
We are so grateful for everything she’s done for us! Thanks Irene, we are so appreciative and could not have done this without out you!

Irene did a wonderful job helping me sell my townhome! From helping me first rent out my townhome to now selling it 3 years later, Irene made the process so easy and flawless. She is very knowledgeable and communicative which made it so easy to trust her that my property is in great hands. I’d recommend Irene to anyone who is in the market of buying and/or selling a home!

Irene is the best! It’s intimidating to be a first time home buyer in this market, but she always made me feel informed and confident in my decisions throughout the process. She went above and beyond to make my offer attractive enough to beat out the other four offers! I’m in my dream home all thanks to Irene. It was truly a pleasure to work with Irene and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a lot of local knowledge, expertise, and overall kindness.

I have counted on Irene twice now to help with my housing needs (1) to help me rent a home I own and (2) to purchase a house in a tough sellers market.
Irene took the time to really understand what I wanted and had the strategy to help me achieve it! Long story short, I ended up with the “stately” property I wanted, in the location I wanted, and with a perfect house for me and actually under my budget!!
Thanks for taking me to see homes during the off hours that worked for me and helping me get into such an amazing place when it’s not the easiest currently!
You can absolutely rely on Irene to make your housing dream come true!

I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to Irene Zitzner of Next Home for their incredible work in selling my home. From the very beginning, Irene demonstrated professionalism, expertise, and a deep understanding of the local real estate market.
She provided excellent guidance on pricing, staging, and marketing the property, ensuring it received maximum exposure and interest. The communication was seamless throughout the entire process, and she was always available to answer any questions and offer helpful advice.
Thanks to her hard work and dedication, the sale of my home was smooth and successful. If you're looking for a reliable and skilled realtor, I highly recommend Irene Zitzner for your real estate needs!

As an agent myself I entrusted the sale of my longtime family home to Irene. She made this very difficult decision and process so much easier. It was a bit of a difficult sale and required lots of negotiations, but she made sure that I was protected, and negotiations went in my favor. Thank you Irene!

What do I attribute to my successful real estate career? Knowledge, kindness, a strong work ethic, and respect, which is an incredibly powerful combination. Whether coaching an agent or helping clients, you can count on me time after time. I will guide you through this ever-changing market. I will work extremely hard and will treat you the way I know I like to be treated. I moved to the Peninsula area after graduating from UNC in 1992. Working in NY in the Fashion Industry and leading a sales team provided me the tools to transition my business knowledge to an accomplished real estate career as a Broker Manager and Realtor. Over the last decade, I worked for a local Luxury Real Estate Brokerage as a Regional Sales Manager, successfully managing three offices and coaching agents by helping them build their businesses. I joined NextHome Peninsula Realty Group as the Broker and an owner because of what the company provides their agents; from the support, human connection to the full suite of marketing and technology tools which helps our Agents to focus on building relationships with clients & support their real estate needs. When working with buyers, sellers or investors, my attention to detail and negotiating skills to get the best return for my clients is what sets myself and my team at NextHome apart from the industry. The look that a client gets when they find or sell THEIR home for top dollar is priceless! I ensure a smooth transaction from contract to close so that the celebration is at closing! With every client, whether an Agent, buyer, seller or investor, it is all about you. I am a guide ready to serve and help. I enjoy what I do and I do it very well. I look forward to working with you.
