In this YouTube market update, Scott Selleck—licensed since 1993 and dual‑licensed in New Jersey and Florida—highlights recent activity on the Gold Coast of Bergen County. Over the past month his team closed two above‑asking sales: a 2‑bed/2‑bath condo at 2352 Linwood Avenue, Fort Lee, sold for $490,000 despite a $30,000 special assessment that he split 50/50 to satisfy both buyer and seller; and a historic 1924 Dutch‑colonial cottage at 740 River Road, Teaneck, sold for $790,000 to a repeat client after a bidding war, underscoring relationship‑driven service. He also lists a newly renovated 1‑BR condo at 201 12th Street, Palisades Park for $344,900, noting the seller cleared the building’s special assessment, giving the buyer a clean financial picture. Additionally, a luxury 3‑BR/3.5‑BA townhome at 16 Grand Cove, Edgewater is marketed for rent at $5,650 per month, illustrating demand for high‑end rentals. Throughout, Selleck emphasizes his professional marketing toolkit—custom listing websites, professional photography, and walkthrough videos—his 33 years of local expertise, and his commitment to building trust. The video ends with a call to action: a free consultation link (njflconsultation.netlify.app) and contact number (201‑970‑3960) for buyers, sellers, or renters on the Gold Coast.

The Gold Coast market is moving, and the Selleck Group is right in the middle of it. I'm Scott Selleck, licensed since 1993, and I want to show you what's been happening. In the past month alone, we closed 2 transactions, listed a renovated condo, and brought a luxury townhome to market for rent. Here's what each deal tells us. First, 2352 Linwood Avenue in Fort Lee, a 2-bedroom, 2-bath condo at Park Hill Terrace, listed at $489,000, sold at $490,000. That's above asking, with a bidding war. But here's what makes this deal special. The building had a $30,000 special assessment. Most agents would have avoided it. I turned it into a selling point. We structured the assessment as a 50/50 split At closing, the seller got their price, the buyer got a fair deal, and everyone walked away happy. Second, 740 River Road in Teaneck, a historic 1924 Dutch colonial cottage on a quiet cul-de-sac. I sold this home to the seller six years ago. When she needed to sell before relocating abroad, she called me again. We had a bidding war and sold above asking at $790,000. That's the relationship. I build, not transactions. Trust. We also have a newly renovated one-bedroom condo listed at 201 12th Street in Palisades Park for $344,900. Modern kitchen, new bathroom, new flooring, private balcony, turnkey and ready to go. And the seller paid off the building's special assessment in full. So the buyer inherits a clean financial picture. And we just listed a luxury townhome for rent at 16 Grand Cove in Edgewater. 3 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, asking $5,650 a month. Edgewater's riverfront lifestyle attracts renters who want the views without the purchase commitment. These 4 transactions tell a story. I close deals— 2 closings in 1 month, both above asking. I market professionally. Every listing gets a custom website, professional photography, and a walkthrough video. I build relationships. The T-Neck seller came back because she trusted me. I know the Gold Coast. 33 years of Bergen County experience. And I handle both sides. Dual licensed in New Jersey and Florida. I'm Scott Selleck, licensed since 1993, over 500 transactions.
