Our techs cover Berkeley Meadows, Berkeley Heights, and East Side and show up with MLS access, paid syndication budget, in-house showing crew, and a vetted screening stack. The local stress factor is summer heat dome events, which shapes the parts inventory and the response window we hold across the 248,642 resident metro area.
