What Midtown Direct Homes is about
Midtown Direct Homes is my guide to living in the towns along NJ Transit’s Midtown Direct line, from Maplewood and South Orange to Summit, Madison and Westfield. Here you’ll find what each town is really like: the train ride, the schools, the neighborhoods, and my favorite places to eat and shop. Not sure where to start? Begin with my guide to the best NJ towns for NYC commuters.
About Perri
I didn’t move to this market. I grew up in it. My family built our home in Short Hills when I was a child, I was in one of the first classes at Deerfield School, and I graduated from Millburn High School. My family has been in the area for more than a hundred years.
That’s what I bring to every client: a local’s knowledge of the towns along the Midtown Direct line, from Maplewood and South Orange to Millburn and Short Hills, Summit, Chatham, Madison, Livingston, West Orange, Montclair, Westfield and Springfield. I know which streets buyers ask for, what the train ride really takes from each station, and how homes have priced and sold this year.
Experience
Over 20+ years with Keller Williams, I’ve closed 240+ transactions across 24 New Jersey communities. Before real estate, I spent 25 years in marketing and sales with Grey Advertising, Warner Bros., USA Today and several digital companies. That background shapes how I position and market every home I sell.
I represent buyers and sellers equally, and I work with longtime homeowners who are right-sizing or moving to a 55+ community. I’m quoted regularly in The New York Times on the New Jersey market.
