I can't say enough good things about Elizabeth! Three years ago she helped me find a beautiful apartment, long-distance, and recently she helped me sell it. She is a consummate professional, a total expert in her field and a great resource for everything real estate-related. She made me feel like I'm her only client, although I know this isn't the case--she is super successful and very busy, yet she responded to my questions in a timely fashion and made sure everything was in place for a successful, stress-free experience.

Amber and the team are incredible and I can’t imagine what this process would have been like without them. As a first time home buyer, I came in with a million questions and concerns, and Amber helped me feel comfortable about every single one. Her professionalism is unmatched and her vibrant personality makes things even better. The team also offered great local referrals from lenders to inspectors to attorneys, making my process smoother than I could have imagined.

I've been working with Elizabeth and Amber on and off since 2020. In 2020, Elizabeth was a rockstar when I was looking for a small condo, and in 2024 both Amber and Elizabeth helped my wife and I score a lovely home in downtown Jersey City. Their knowledge of the Jersey City area is next to none, and they also helped us partner with awesome legal counsel, inspectors, and loan officers. I want to call out specifically their attention to detail across the entire process.

We have rented, bought and sold with Elizabeth Rakela and we highly recommend her and her team! Elizabeth knows the industry well and that is very important when it's time to negotiate on your behalf, know when to take an offer and when to wait and overall provide an excellent experience. We have felt very well taken care of by Elizabeth and her team.

Elizabeth and her team were amazing to work with. We didn’t realize how much hard work is necessary to get a home ready for showing. From strategy to staging to closing they helped us as partners every step of the way. We know who we will be working with next time we are looking for a new home!

Elizabeth, Amber and the Rakela team are the PERFECT team! They knocked our simultaneous sale and purchase in Hoboken this summer outta the park! She and team are experts on the Hoboken market. They have incredible communication style, savvy negotiation skills and long-standing rock-solid relationships with every partner you need in the process. We couldn’t have made a better choice in a partner in the home sale and buying adventure! Never thought such a stressful process could be as enjoyable as it was with them!

Nicole and Elizabeth are true professionals. They are kind and patient, but that is not even the half of it. They will work tirelessly and leave no stone unturned until you are settled in a place you are happy with. If you are looking for a rental in the Hoboken area, you need these women in your corner

Elizabeth is phenomenal real estate broker. She is honest and takes great pride in finding the right home for her client. Elizabeth is very patient and showed us properties multiple times - there was never any pressure to “do something”. Elizabeth knows Hoboken real estate and the community extremely well. We couldn’t be happier w/ our experience working w/ Elizabeth and would enthusiastically recommend her to anyone looking for property in Hoboken or Jersey City.

Elizabeth was integral to the successful sale of our apartment. She advised at every stage of the process from staging to closing. We got significantly more than asking and I’m confident that it was in very large part due to Elizabeth’s knowledge of the market, expertise and finesse.

Elizabeth is great, she makes a big decision easy. She takes the time to understand what your looking for which made the search efficient. I felt from the start she truly wanted me to end up in a home I'd love, and never felt I was being pushed in a direction outside of my zone.

Elizabeth was recommended to me by a family friend in 2012 when my boyfriend and I were looking to buy a condo in Hoboken. She spent hours with us going over the process as first-time homebuyers, and when we were ready to sell in 2019, she helped us through an incredibly difficult sale. Elizabeth knows the Hoboken and JC market incredibly well and has a very direct, informative style.

Elizabeth is terrific! When we moved to Hoboken 7 years ago, a family friend recommended Elizabeth to us and she was fantastic getting us situated in our new home. When it came time for us to relocate, Elizabeth was the first call to list our home for us. She helped with staging recommendations, color schemes, and her knowledge of the market is second to none. Our house was priced well and was sold quickly. I'd recommend her any and every time.

Elizabeth is the best. I was a first time buyer who did not understand anything about the process and little about the market place. Elizabeth took the time to show me different properties to understand exactly what I was looking for. Her patience and knowledge were invaluable. There were no surprises. It was a great experience.
