In this YouTube market update, Scott Selleck, a dual‑licensed New Jersey/Florida real‑estate broker with over 30 years of experience, reviews four recent transactions on the Gold Coast (Bergen County) to illustrate current market dynamics and his professional approach. He details a 2‑bed/2‑bath condo at 2352 Linwood Ave in Fort Lee that sold above asking despite a $30,000 special assessment, which he split between buyer and seller to create a win‑win. He recounts a historic 1924 Dutch colonial home at 740 River Rd in Teaneck that sold above asking after a bidding war, emphasizing the repeat‑client relationship. He introduces a newly renovated 1‑bed condo at 201 12th St in Palisades Park listed for $344,900, noting its modern upgrades and clean financial picture after the seller paid off the building’s assessment. Finally, he presents a luxury 3‑bed/3.5‑bath townhome for rent at 16 Grand Cove in Edgewater, priced at $5,650 per month, targeting renters seeking river‑front views. Throughout, he highlights his marketing tactics—custom websites, professional photography, walkthrough videos—and his emphasis on trust‑based relationships. He closes with a call‑to‑action for free consultations via a website or phone/text.

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 6 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 1-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.
