The Gubb Team - Keller Williams Ridgewood Realtor

David Gubb was invaluable in selling our home. Efficient, intuitive and above all honest and kind. Answered every question, patiently. David Gubb is a life long friend.

We recently received the keys to our new home and we owe a huge thanks to David Gubb. We cannot over-emphasize how much he helped us with our first home buying experience. We started looking in January 2021, completely unaware how difficult the next 18 months were going to be. Being novice homebuyers in a unique real estate market, we were not prepared for the ferocious competition. David came through for us time and time again during this challenging process. He’s tenaciously energized even when he’s patiently explaining every detail…and always with a huge smile. During walk throughs his knowledge and imagination on what can be remodeled or repaired to maximize the potential of the space was second to none. His expertise about the real estate market overall added much needed context when the pressure was on. Day after day he did it all in a way that was simultaneously honest yet reassuring. He genuinely loves what he does and it showed the entire time. We’re extremely grateful we found David!

My wife and I have purchased several homes and have worked with countless top realtors. I’d like to start by making it clear that David Gubb is in a league of his own and working with him was by far the best experience we have ever had. My wife and I actually began our initial search with David back in 2016. Yes…2016! We had always been interested in the towns of Ridgewood, Ho-Ho-Kus, Saddle River and Franklin Lakes and David was always happy to take us around and talk about our options as he knew all of these towns intricately. David really took the time to get to know us (and our children) and instilled an incredible amount of confidence that he would be our best advocate throughout the process. Constantly uncertain on what our personal future held, we always kept in touch with David to keep a pulse on the market and consider our options. Throughout the years, David was never pushy and always made time for us. We needed the support but we also wanted the freedom to explore things on our own when we needed to. He truly loves his job and always provided us with great advice with only our best interest in mind. Last year, we got serious about moving again and David came to us with the perfect house in Ho-Ho-Kus that fit exactly what we were looking for. Once he took us through, we knew we had to have it. David quickly took our emotions out of it and approached the process thoughtfully and strategically. He provided us with a succinct gameplan to ensure that we would be able to beat the other offers and secure the house without overpaying. I can honestly say that we would have never been in a position to purchase this home without his expertise. In fact, the seller’s agent even quietly admitted it to us at the closing. He was as impressed by David as we were. We can’t fully express how indebted we are to David. I would be happy to speak directly with anyone who is considering working with David to provide the full details of our recent experience and explain how David Gubb proved his worth as the ultimate real estate advisor in Bergen County.

Carol Thomas is an detail-oriented, experienced and dedicated realtor. She helped me coordinate the sale of my family home in Woodcliff Lake after I moved my father into assisted living near where I reside in Connecticut. Long distance sales can be challenging, and Carol handled it all with perseverance and intelligence. Having lived in the area most of her life, her knowledge of the marketplace is deep, and that resulted in a well-priced and positioned listing right from the beginning. Her skilled handling of the process made my life much easier during a difficult time. I recommend her highly.

Carol Thomas (and the awesome staff at the Gubb Team) helped me buy my very first home. The real estate market here in NJ was kind of nuts this year with the pandemic and everything, but Carol held my hand through the whole process as a first time home buyer and made sure that I would end up with a house I loved. She answered all of my questions and always replied to my texts and calls promptly. Even under the best of circumstances, buying a home isn't easy, but she made everything as painless and streamlined as possible. Carol even helped me get some paperwork in faster this one time, in order to meet a deadline, when my mortgage lender was being slow, unresponsive and annoying. The details aren't important, but Carol basically turned an annoying, stressful situation into a positive one and it was this moment more than any other that I felt like she was really fighting for me and had my back. She just went above and beyond and I'm grateful to her for it. Carol is definitely someone I would describe as professional in the way she does her work, and she's also a nice person too! If you're looking for an agent, definitely give her a call. CP

David was outstanding in every regard. He helped us find a fantastic home and provided great insight along the way. It was our first home and he made sure that we were able to make it through every step with little to no issue. We will be recommending David to everyone and anyone who is looking for a realtor.

We worked with Kaitlin Dunn as our buyer's agent. Without her my wife and I would never have purchased our dream home in Ridgewood, NJ. In short, she demonstrated repeatedly that she cared as much about the home buying process as we did, as opposed to just wanting to make a sale. Having grown up in northern NJ Kaitlin has impeccable local knowledge, and a substantial network of contacts. This made the most annoying parts of the home buying process go very smoothly. From the beginning she was extremely helpful and responsive, and went out of her way throughout the entire process to coordinate between all parties involved (sellers agent, lawyers, inspection companies, etc.). She was straightforward and always put our needs first. We bought an old home (built in the early 1900's) so we needed some extra inspections done, and Kaitlin's contacts were a huge help in getting everything done quickly and efficiently. Upon finding some significant issues, Kaitlin worked with the sellers side to make sure we were able to receive an adequate credit and was crucial in moving the purchase forward to closing in a way that was satisfactory to all parties involved.

David is a truly dedicated professional with expert knowledge of the real estate sales process and the local market environment. He helped us to negotiate every stage of the process from staging our house to determining the proper offering price and negotiating with our buyer. My family had several offers the first week we came on the market for well over the asking price and we were supported by David's advice/guidance every step of the way.

David was introduced to us by a colleague who used him as their own realtor to purchase their Ridgewood home last year. Being a first time home buyer, we tirelessly scoured Northern NJ for a whole year to find a town that fit our lifestyle. We needed an easy commute to NYC for work and a walking distance to town center and elementary schools. During that time, we either find good location with mediocre houses or bad location with good houses. Within 4 weeks of working with David, he found us the perfect balance of both location and house in Glen Rock. He made sure he understood what we needed as a family, and he shared his vast knowledge of how each town in Bergen differ from each other. We loved working with David that we call him our one-stop-shop real estate agent. It made our overall experience as a first time home buyer an easy one. We also appreciated how fast he was in responding to our emails/texts, and how persistent he was to make sure every single aspect of our purchase were taken care of. We highly recommend him to anyone who is looking to purchase a house in Bergen.

David was the second realtor we dealt with after we ended up losing a house that we were under contract for because our previous agent recommended a poor lawyer and could not deal with any of the issues that arose in an effective way. At the time, I didn’t even realize that this is where the real estate agent you work with really matters. Of course David was also very reliable with scheduling visits, patiently taking us to multiple houses (including the day after his bachelor party) and listening to us discuss why none of them are good enough. He was also good at telling me why some of the houses I wanted to look at would be a waste of time, based on our criteria. But most importantly David’s strength came through when it was time to buy. The negotiation, the people he recommends (lawyer, inspector, mortgage broker, etc..), who work with him on a regular basis and who will make sure they treat his client well are the most important things in a real estate transaction and David seems to know everyone who is involved and have a strong relationship with them. And when, inevitably, issues do arise, one text and David would magically “take care of it”.

The Chris Gubb team is the most professional, well-run, client invested real-estate team we have ever dealt with. We can truly attest to this having moved and bought/sold multiple homes for many years. Both Chris and David take time to listen to your needs and concerns before they start searching for your perfect home. Chris and David are totally focused on the needs of their clients and not increasing their revenue at the clients? expense. Chris is extremely knowledgeable of the market place and is very pragmatic about the true value of the property. David brings his technology savviness to the team and is very easy to work with. He works very well with making sure appointments are on time, needs are being addressed and assessing potential market value. Both Chris and David have very well trained eyes for catching potential problems, envisioning remodels or knowing how to appeal to buyers or sellers. They have the type of white-glove concierge service today?s busy families are looking for in real-estate. Moving to New Jersey from a different state with 4 young children in tow provided enough challenges. Chris and David were able to smoothly guide us through offers, inspections, purchase and even contractor recommendations. This is a team that goes above and beyond the typical real-estate contract and makes sure your needs, questions, or concerns are addressed. We are very thankful that we found the Gubb team to help us find our home. We would never think of using any another broker for our real-estate needs in Ridgewood; We found the best in the Gubb Team.

Chris is amazing. She helped my husband and me find the perfect home in Ridgewood. We were moving from a brownstone in Brooklyn to a house in the suburbs, to an area neither of us was familiar with, and Chris was exceptional. There is not enough space to describe what a wonderful realtor and person Chris is. She is extremely respectful and kind and also tenacious and tough (for you) when needed. She is always available, even late at night, while she is on vacation, and last minute. She takes her time to find out what is important to you and what perspective and taste you have before jumping in to offer her own opinion. That said, she is really an expert in real estate and in the areas we were looking in. When we asked for her opinion, she was able to provide spot-on guidance that reflected her expertise, but accounted for our tastes and interests. She noticed things in homes that my husband and I did not even think to look at. Even though it might have been easier and more convenient for her to not point out some of the hesitations she might have had about a house, she was always looking out for our best interest. We always felt that Chris was protecting us and working extremely hard for us—even when we were demanding or difficult. We were introduced to Chris through a family member who had worked with Chris in the past, and we have already recommended her to several people we know. It would not surprise me if she was kept very busy simply through word-of-mouth. As crazy as it sounds, if I were considering a few different areas, the ability to have Chris be our realtor would be a large factor in where we decided to purchase—she was that amazing. After we closed on our house and after Chris’ job was arguably over, she still stayed in contact with us, helping us with everything from a good painter, chimney sweep and electrician to a good restaurant to grab lunch, salon to cut my hair and a drycleaners. Literally, each and every recommendation she gave us was researched by her before being passed along to us. We have purchased several properties in different areas and had very good experiences in the past, but Chris really is exceptional. Needless to say, we recommend her without hesitation and although we hope not to be moving again, we would 100% work only with Chris again.

Chris was fantastic! She sent weekly (and sometimes daily) updates of homes that fit our search criteria, and gave us her expert opinion on pricing, location, and features of each house we considered. She was generous with her time and knowledge. In the end, she helped us to purchase a home that we LOVE! Chris helped to hand-hold through the purchase process and recommended a great team of support people including our attorney, inspectors, and even financing. Being new to the area, we could not have done it without her, and doubt anyone else could have taken such good care of us. We recommend Chris Gubb highly and will most definitely use her again in the future.

The service went great. They did a really good job of answering questions and taking care of us as a customer. They really go out of their way to do research and they do great with follow up as well. They even sent a Christmas gift.

Cathryn Harris Banu knew exactly what we needed in an apartment and found us one.

Chris is an incredible realtor and an amazing person. There is no doubt in my mind that she really cared about our happiness and held our hand every step of the way. I honestly don't think we could have survived the process of buying our first home without her. Don't even think twice. You'll love her as much as we do.
