East Hanover
My hometown. Quiet, friendly streets, well-kept homes and quick access to Routes 10, 24 and 280.
MORRIS COUNTY, NEW JERSEY · REAL ESTATE
Morris County is my home base.
I live in East Hanover, so Morris County isn’t just a service area for me. It’s where I shop, where my boys grow up and where I write my “At Home with Holly” column for TAPinto East Hanover & Florham Park.
From historic Morristown to the larger lots in Randolph and the commuter convenience of Parsippany, Morris County offers a lot of choices. I’ll help you find the one that fits.

Why a local matters here.
Morris County inventory has been especially tight lately. I wrote about it in my TAPinto column, “Why are so few houses listed for sale?” When good homes are scarce, you need someone who hears about them early and helps you act with confidence.

03 / GOOD QUESTIONSAsk me anything.
Morris County
questions.
Why are there so few houses for sale in Morris County?
Many homeowners locked in very low mortgage rates and don’t want to give them up, and not much new construction is being built. That keeps inventory low even when buyers are ready. I explain more in my TAPinto “Ask Holly” column.
Which Morris County towns are best for commuting to NYC?
Morristown, Madison, Chatham and Morris Plains are on NJ Transit’s Morris & Essex Line, which has Midtown Direct trains to Penn Station. Boonton is on the Montclair-Boonton Line. Drivers often like East Hanover, Florham Park and Parsippany for quick access to Routes 10, 24, 80 and 287.
Do you work with seniors who are downsizing in Morris County?
Yes. I’m a Seniors Real Estate Specialist (SRES®), and I work patiently with parents and their adult children through downsizing and estate sales.
How are property taxes in Morris County?
Like everywhere in New Jersey, taxes vary by town and by home. I’ll pull the real tax history for any property you’re interested in so you can budget accurately.
Can you help me sell my East Hanover or Florham Park home?
Absolutely, this is my neighborhood. I’ll show you what nearby homes have sold for, help you decide what to fix before listing, and put together a marketing plan.
04 / IT STARTS WITH A CONVERSATIONNo pressure. Just possibilities.
