The close proximity to New York City is another reason why New Jersey Living is ideal.
New York’s Time Square is about 45 minutes from Central New Jersey.
Whether you are visiting the city in the day or evening as this picture was taken, you will always find that the city is alive and full of fun things to do for people of all ages.

Next time you drive through Colts Neck you might get a glimpse of more than just our beautiful horse farms and our stately homes. You might also get a little star struck.
Donald Trump is the newest member to join our long celebrity list of neighbors in Colts Neck.
Although the man himself will not live be living in Colts Neck, the buzz around town is that Trump has offered more than $28 million dollars to purchase one of our top golf courses namely Shadow Isle.
The club which opened in 2004 includes an 18–hole course, a par-3 short course and a recently completed 58,000 square foot club house.
US Open Champion Jerry Pate designed the course with every attention to detail possible. Even the most competitive of players will enjoy a round of golf at this incredibly beautiful facility.
Trump currently operates seven golf courses but we are excited to see Shadow Isle become the gem of his portfolio.

On Tuesday evening the Jersey Shore looked as if it had been invaded by an army of individuals ready for battle as we all gathered along the shore line dressed in the same uniform, (white shirts and Khaki pants).
On lookers from the board walk stopped and stared and whispered amongst themselves.
As camera and film equipment were elevated high above the sky, the guesses were anything from a family reunion to a movie being filmed.
In reality, Better Homes agents from over 28 offices were on hand to take part in our annual beach party / company picture.
Rooney’s Crab House played host for the evening as we gathered afterwards for some fun with friends and co-workers.
For Marilyn and I, it was a chance to introduce ourselves and Better Homes in Colts Neck.
Colts Neck is the latest office to join the BHNJ family.
The backdrop for the evening could not have been any more beautiful.
Hope you enjoy the pictures!

Does there exist such an idyllic town as the one that housed Cheers?
Is there a place where everyone knows your name?
Absolutely and Colts Neck is it!
Unlike the Cheers bar that was made famous in the 80’s sitcom, here in Colts Neck, we have a family restaurant known as Perkins.
With only a little over 12,000 people living in the entire town, it is very easy to bump into your neighbors.
Cooking is one of the talents that have eluded me so needless to say Perkins is my home away from home.
Upon my entry I get the typical “Norm” greeting.
I wish I could say it’s just me but the country charm is pressed upon all those that come to visit.
We even have our very own “Cliff Clavin”.
Our postal worker Troy doesn’t were a post man’s uniform but you will see him wearing many different colorful t-shirts.
I almost have him convinced to wear a specially made “Sarah is the best realtor” t-shirt.
For those of you around town, keep your eyes peeled for that!

First and foremost I hope everyone had a fun and relaxing holiday weekend. I’m sure it is always fun to get to see the fireworks and spend time with family and friends.
I am back to work and actually need a vacation from my recent mini-vacation.
My clients whom I absolutely adore invited me over to their home for a pre-4th of July BBQ.
They were leaving the next day for Costa Rica and wanted to talk with me prior to their departure.
Little did I imagine that the reason behind the invite was to convince me to take full advantage of their vacation home that is located in the Poconos.
“THE POCONOS”? I thought to myself. I can honestly say I don’t ever recall going to the Poconos and actually had no desire to go.
I must not have a very good poker face because the wife immediately stated “Oh Sarah, you are going to LOVE it”!
Before I could respond with some excuse, I had a key in one hand and a list of instructions in the other and off I was.
A few days later and 3 hours after I started my adventure, I reached Hemlock Farms , a premier gated community.
Nice! I thought as I pulled into the 4500 acre compound.
Suddenly I heard my navigation state something that it had never said before, “Turn by turn guidance can not be provided at this time”.
Were we so far away from civilization that the satellite couldn’t pin point our destination? A place countrier than Colts Neck?
The answer was YES!
If the satellite didn’t know were we were, how would the police find me if something happened?
The normal person would find that exciting and I actually do too but when you come from a cultural family like mine, all that kept reverberating in my head was my mother stating in her broken English “She had to go”, “She just couldn’t stay put”.
No doubt this was high-end camping but it was still camping none the less, Plus the bears and yes there were bears in the backyard, didn’t help put my mind to ease.
The home was actually very adorable. My clients purchased the home fully furnished and each room was typical of the Pocono lifestyle.
As I sat in the backyard contemplating the universe and enjoying the breathtaking scenery I had to admit that it was worth the trip.

Hi! I'm Tyler.
I'm always sitting under my Mom's desk as she does her Real Estate work.
No one knows who I am so I thought I'd create this blog and introduce myself.
I am a 4 year old Pomeranian. I share my home with my sister Tinkerbell, who happens to be a 3 year old T.Cup Pomeranian.
T.Cup is just a fancy term for “midget”. Tinkerbell is 3lbs; full grown; I know, I know, how cute, right?
I live in Colts Neck New Jersey and my mom is Sarah Bandy, a Real Estate agent who works for Better Homes Realty, the Colts Neck office.
Please check in often as I will be blogging all about the upcoming news and life underneath my Mom's desk! Plus Sarah herself and some contributing writers will also be hanging around to talk Real Estate. Hope to hear from you soon.
BARK BARK!
