mahwah: The Good News --- School Report Cards and Best of Lists
- 05/06/08 01:07 AM
Recently, we have seen some concern about negative news in the media. I am an avid reader and I think the media can be a terrific resource for up to the minute research and information. Often, realtors are asked about the quality of the local schools. There are many reports available to share with buyers and I usually look to the local media for additional up-to-date information about area schools. It is a good idea to share a variety of sources about schools and towns so that the buyer can make a decision based on their criteria. Bergen County has wonderful towns and … (2 comments)

Location and pricing are key to … (0 comments)
