What are your expectations of the real estate agent you ultimately will hire?
The law of “Agency” should be explained clearly and thoroughly before you begin. You, the seller need to be comfortable with the legal relationship prior to signing any agreement. Upon request we will send you the form to review. Once your relationship has been established you can move forward. Marketing is a very delicate process and some agents are more specialized than others. The goal for selling your home is to attract as many potential buyers and buyer’s agents to the home within the opening weeks of your home’s debut.
There is more than meets the eye when your home is professionally marketed. Your agent should set all the components into motion like a movie director. Many factors come into play and it’s ultimately up to your listing agent to be contentious, organized and fully prepared when your home “goes live” on the internet. As with any production, tremendous amounts of preparation goes on behind the scenes before the curtain goes up.
Team work and communication between seller and agent must be formed PRIOR to “SHOW TIME”.

Turpin has just listed a wonderful property located in the premier Old Short Hills section within the Deerfield grammar school district.Short Hills is a lovely community with a stellar reputation located on the Midtown Direct train line to NYC. Access to Route 24 and major highways provide a convenient commute to the Hoboken path terminal and ferry lines to NYC as well as Newark International Airport.
Within close proximity to this listing is a wonderful public historic garden called Greenwood Gardens.Presently, they have a restoration project going on which is in line with the main goal of the gardens to promote conservation and preservation of historic homes and gardens. They provide public tours of this project as well as the gardens. This interesting and beautiful public garden is one of the many fun things that the Millburn/Short Hills area has to offer. In addition to the quaint downtown area featuring many restaurants, a park, and a movie theater, is the unique Papermill Playhouse. Also nearby is the well-known Short Hills Mall with the Short Hills Hilton across the street.
Lois began her successful real estate career in 1992, and has been long recognized for multi-million dollar production levels. She joined Turpin in January 2004 based on the company’s superb reputation and the fact that it serves her local neighborhood. “The attention to detail, the sophisticated understanding of the process of selling real estate, and the personal approach given to clients is a good match for the way I do my own business,” Lois explains.
Clients and co-workers describe Lois’s professional style as caring, dynamic, outgoing, intelligent and detail-oriented. She is a member of the North Central Jersey Board of Realtors where she serves on the Professional Standards Committee. Lois also belongs to the Garden State Multiple Listing Service and National Board of Realtors.
Before entering the real estate field, Lois attained a Masters Degree in psychiatric nursing as well as a post-masters certificate in nursing administration. Previous jobs included positions in surgical nursing, psychiatric nursing, and working with a group of teaching surgeons at Long Island Jewish Hospital.
Lois has been an active volunteer in the community over the years as a board member with the Pingry School Parents’ Association and as an assistant kindergarten teacher for religious education at Christ the King Church in New Vernon.
Lois is married with two children. The Olmsteads are residents of New Vernon, having previously lived in Murray Hill. Popular family vacation spots are the Eastern shore of Maryland and Lake Champlain in Vermont. Closer to home, Lois belongs to a book club and investment club.
Lois sums up her role as a Turpin sales associate this way, “I most enjoy meeting people, solving problems, and making a good match. Educating people about the sales process and the real estate market is both challenging and satisfying.”

It is with great excitement and enthusiasm that I announce the opening of our new office located at 186 Main Street in beautiful Chatham, NJ. We are located in the heart of the historic downtown right next to F. Gerald New and in the same building as Cambridge Street Papers, two wonderful, locally owned shops.
We have long recognized the potential for Turpin Real Estate in Chatham as so many of our clients moving into the Somerset Hills have come from this area. As the number of transactions our agents have had in the Chatham and Madison area have steadily increased over the past few years the notion of opening a Chatham Turpin office has become more and more appealing.
Our core group of experienced agents staffing the office includes Susan Barba, Cindy Edgar, Lois Olmstead and Ted Zeller, all of whom are intimately familiar with the area, having either lived in Chatham or currently living in the immediate area. As the office manager of our newest office, I am thrilled to bring the high level of client service and creative marketing programs that have been our company’s hallmarks for a half century to the Chathams and surrounding towns. Give us a call at 973-635-5555, or stop by!
