Who I Help

Staten Island homeowners planning a move to New Jersey in the next 6 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. Lower property taxes per square foot in many towns. Top-ranked public schools. Modern construction, walkable downtowns, and express transit back to NYC. In the past year, 42% of my sellers made the move from Staten Island to a New Jersey suburb. None of them have looked back.

Forty-two percent of my sellers moved across the bridge last year. None of them looked back.

Meet Allison Mireau

I sold my own home in Staten Island twice. I got licensed in both New York and New Jersey. I moved my family to Somerset County. Then I built a business helping other Staten Island families do the same thing with way less chaos. Today I run Real Connect Realty under 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?

About 10 to 14 weeks from the first strategy call to closing on your NJ home. That includes 2 to 3 weeks of prep, 3 to 14 days on market for a well-priced SI listing, 30 to 45 days for the NJ mortgage, and a closing alignment that usually closes the SI sale 1 to 2 days before the NJ purchase.

Do I sell my Staten Island home first or buy in NJ first?

In most cases, list and sell the SI home first, then go under contract in NJ with the SI proceeds in hand. NJ has a 1-to-3-day attorney review window that gives you a built-in exit if timing slips. We map this for every client during the strategy call.

Which New Jersey towns do you cover?

My specialty is Monmouth, Middlesex, and Somerset County. The towns I work in most often are Red Bank, Holmdel, Colts Neck, Middletown, Old Bridge, East Brunswick, Bridgewater, and Hillsborough. If your search runs further, I have a vetted referral network across the state.

What is the New Jersey attorney review period?

In NJ, every standard contract gets a 3-business-day attorney review window after both parties sign. During that window, either side's attorney can modify or cancel the contract. The contract becomes binding only after attorney review closes.

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.
