The New Jersey REALTOR® Who Actually Answers His Phone

Most agents will tell you they're honest, responsive, and experienced. They all say the same thing.

Here's what makes this different: I'm a full-time New Jersey REALTOR® who picks up the phone, tells you the truth even when it's not what you want to hear, and stays in your corner from the first conversation all the way through closing — and beyond.

I've helped buyers find homes in Bergen, Essex, Passaic, and Hudson Counties. All over New Jersey, actually. I've helped sellers walk away with close to $100k over ask. I've helped investors understand 1031 exchanges before signing anything. And I wrote four real estate books specifically for New Jersey buyers, sellers, and investors — because most people deserve better information than they're getting.

Licensed with New Beginnings Realty Solutions. Member of the Greater Bergen REALTORS® Leadership Academy and the Professional Development Committee. And also a Certified POWER AGENT® — a designation held by less than 1% of agents.

Serving all of New Jersey — and referring clients to trusted agents nationwide.

Whether you're buying, selling, investing, or just figuring out your next move — I want to be the person you call.

I work with people across all of New Jersey — first-time buyers who don't know where to start, sellers who want every dollar the market will give them, investors looking for their next deal, and homeowners navigating life changes like divorce, downsizing, inheritance, or relocation.

Buyers — I'll guide you from your first search to your closing day, and answer every question along the way. No confusion, no being handed off to an assistant.

Sellers — I'll price your home strategically, market it professionally, and negotiate hard. I've helped sellers walk away with close to $100,000 over asking price.

Investors — I understand 1031 exchanges, fix-and-flip strategies, and buy-and-hold portfolios. I'll help you make informed decisions before you sign anything.

And if you're dealing with something harder — a probate sale, a divorce, an expired listing, a FSBO that didn't work out — I've been there with clients, and I know how to navigate it.

I also wrote four real estate books for New Jersey buyers, sellers, investors, and homeowners. Not because I had to — because most people deserve better information than they're getting.

The First Time Home Seller's Guide

You’re about to sell your home—and suddenly realize most of the information and books out there are for first-time home buyers, not first-time home sellers.

This book fixes that.

In this straight-talking guide (with some witty humor/banter mixed in), New Jersey real estate agent Patrick Rumore pulls back the curtain on what really happens when you list your home for sale: mindset, pricing, prep, photos, marketing, showings, offers, attorney review, inspection, appraisal, and closing. No fluff, no fake HGTV timelines. Just real information you need.

You’ll learn how to set expectations, think like a buyer, see your home the way the market does, avoid the most expensive mistakes sellers make, and work with an agent as an informed partner—not a passenger.

If you’re a first-time home seller (or it’s just been a long time since you last sold), this is the book that tells you what everyone else assumes you already know—before your house hits the market.

The New Jersey Homeowner's Guide to Lower Taxes and Better Living

Most people assume the only way to escape New Jersey's property taxes is to leave New Jersey. But what if that's not true?

In this guide, Patrick breaks down the concept of Geographic Arbitrage — how savvy homeowners and buyers can find pockets of New Jersey where home values are strong but taxes are surprisingly manageable. Plus strategies for homeowners who want to lower their current tax bill without moving at all.

If you own a home in New Jersey — or are thinking of buying one — this is the guide that could save you tens of thousands of dollars a year.

The Ultimate Guide to Buying a Home in New Jersey

Buying a home in New Jersey can feel like merging onto the Parkway at rush hour — everyone seems to know the rules, nobody seems to be following them, and if you hesitate too long, you miss the opportunity entirely.

This book fixes that.

Patrick Rumore's step-by-step guide was written specifically for New Jersey buyers — covering everything you need to know before you ever write an offer:

When buying actually makes sense financially

What lenders really look for in your credit profile

How to avoid mistakes that can kill a mortgage approval

How New Jersey's buyer representation rules work

How to write a winning offer in competitive markets

What actually happens during attorney review

How inspections can make or break a deal

What happens between contract and closing

No jargon. No assumptions. Just the straight answers New Jersey buyers deserve — before they make one of the biggest financial decisions of their lives.

Includes supplemental worksheets, checklists, and buyer strategy guides.

The 1031 Secret:

Deferring Taxes Is Not Just for the Wealthy

Most real estate investors know the phrase "1031 exchange" — but very few understand how powerful it actually is, or how accessible it can be for everyday New Jersey investors.

A 1031 exchange lets you sell an investment property and roll your profits into a new one — completely deferring capital gains taxes that could otherwise cost you tens of thousands of dollars. Done right, it's one of the most powerful wealth-building tools in real estate. Done wrong — or missed entirely — it can be one of the most expensive mistakes you never knew you made.

In this upcoming guide, Patrick Rumore breaks down:

What a 1031 exchange is — and what it is not

Which properties qualify (and the ones that don't)

The strict 45-day and 180-day deadlines you cannot miss

How to find a qualified intermediary and why you must

Common mistakes that disqualify an exchange

How New Jersey investors can use 1031 exchanges to build long-term wealth
