For Max, real estate development and property management, in Ho-Ho-Kus and surrounding areas, has been a generational family business that allowed him to build a fund of knowledge about Bergen County commercial and residential real estate.
Max is a superb agent. We started our house search during the height of the pandemic. In the midst of bidding wars, scant inventory and overall housing market craziness, Max was always our voice of reason. He was a steadfast advisor, sharing his immense wealth of knowledge to keep us calm. He was honest and advocated for our needs, reminding us of the bigger picture to ensure we move on a home that was right for us, not just any home. Max was always very honest about a home and would point out the negatives and the positives, always keeping in mind what our non negotiables were. We felt we were in great hands throughout this process and couldn’t have asked for better agent!

Max helped us buy our first home. Coming from NYC area, as first time home buyers we weren't even sure about the specific neighborhoods, and were a little all over the map (short hills/chatham/ridge in NJ and even NY state Scarsdale area). He pointed us to the different people for areas outside his own expertise and worked with us patiently by answering all our questions and giving us the facts. Our home buying process turned out to be rather complicated. Multiple offers on the house we bid, parallel negotiations on another over an extended period of time, and finally COVID complicated our mortgage process. Max with all experience and expertise made himself extremely useful in this complicated process and helped us close our deal to our satisfaction. Highly recommended!

We began working with Max a little over a year ago. Selling a home and buying a home simultaneously comes with its own challenges. Max was available for our calls or texts no matter what time of the day. Max's knowledge of Bergen County landed us in the beautiful Boro of Upper Saddle River. We had a few hiccups, but Max's guidance helped us get through, and we closed on our beautiful home in August. It was a fluke how we connected with Max, but we truly believe it was divine intervention. I will recommend him to all of my friends and family. Thank you, Max!

Thank you so much, Max, for being there every step of the way when it came to buying our forever home. We couldn’t have asked for anybody better to help us through the entire process. Moving from NYC to NJ, we not only wanted somebody that was knowledgeable about the area but also someone that can guide us to the right home for us. Immediately after meeting Max and seeing a couple houses, we knew he was someone we could trust. Max kept our interests in mind and pointed out things we couldn’t see. He was patient and understanding with what we were looking for and was always available whenever we had questions. He was dependable and made time for us despite our tough schedules. He and his team also guided us throughout the entire purchasing and closing process, and have continued to support us even after the close. We highly recommend Max. Simply the best!

We had a wonderful experience working with Max, he was incredibly knowledgeable about the Bergen County market, the quality of finishes and potential things to be on the lookout for throughout the process. He responded to emails/texts promptly and was always available to bounce ideas off of and to "hold our hand" throughout the home-buying process. We would strongly recommend Max Stokes to anyone looking to purchase in northern Bergen County.

Max has been amazing to work with. Would recommend him to anyone - has been super knowledgeable, patient, and thoughtful. We worked with him over the course of a year, and are moving in to our new home later this week. We never felt rushed through the process, and were grateful for his honest opinions (and deep knowledge) about things to watch out for/not settling. Even post sale he was consistently available, and went above and beyond in ensuring the process went smoothly. Hands down the best experience I've ever had with a home purchase process.

Max is an absolutely wonderful agent. As first-time home buyers, we could not have envisioned a better experience. Max was incredibly knowledgeable about all the towns we were considering and took the time to explain the nuances of each. He listened carefully to what we wanted in a home and helped us narrow our search. He was an exceptional advisor during the entire process. He provided invaluable feedback and never pushed us to make an offer. It is because of his hard work, insight, and thoughtfulness that we found our dream home and we are so incredibly grateful. We enthusiastically recommend Max, without hesitation, to anyone looking to buy or sell their home. He is truly the best!

Where should I begin Max reached out to me shortly after being connected through Zillow and since then he always did his best to keep me abreast of the entire process I was embarking on. Any time I had a question, if Max didn't already have the answer (which he did most times) he would get back to me in a very timely fashion with the answer. Max not only was responsive but protected me as his client. What I mean by this is, he did not hesitate to point out any flaws in properties that I was viewing to protect me from making a buy that I may regret. He was friendly, professional, courteous, and very respectful of my difficult work schedule and always found a way to work around it. For all of this, I am very grateful to have worked with Max and have already advised several close friends of mine regarding his services for when they begin their search for their homes.
