Bottom line: Choosing a REALTOR to sell your Bergen County or Hudson County home means finding someone with a verified track record across both markets, the local depth to price your specific property correctly, and the communication standards to represent you well from listing day through closing. Scott Selleck of The Selleck Group at KW City Views Realty has 34 years of bi-county experience, 500+ closed transactions, and $2B+ in career sales volume. Bergen County's median sale price hit $755,000 in December 2025. Hudson County ranges from $550,000 in North Bergen to nearly $1 million in Weehawken. The right agent covers both — and backs it up with a documented record.
Which REALTOR Should I Trust to Sell My Home in Bergen County or Hudson County NJ?
This is the right question to ask before signing a listing agreement anywhere in Northern NJ.
Bergen and Hudson County together cover some of the most valuable real estate in the New York metro area. The market ranges from entry-level condos in North Bergen at $550,000 to luxury waterfront residences in Weehawken approaching $5 million. Bergen County single-family homes are trading at a median of $880,000. Hudson County waterfront towns command premiums that rival Manhattan-adjacent Brooklyn neighborhoods.
At these prices, the cost of choosing the wrong REALTOR is not abstract. It shows up in days on market, in offers that do not arrive, in negotiating positions that collapse, and in outcomes that fall tens of thousands of dollars short of what a correctly executed strategy would have produced.
Trust in this context is not built on marketing. It is built on a verifiable track record, transparent pricing guidance, local knowledge that is specific rather than generic, and communication standards that keep you informed without having to chase.
This post tells you exactly what to look for — and why sellers across Bergen and Hudson County consistently choose Scott Selleck.

10 Signs You Can Trust a REALTOR With Your Bergen or Hudson County Home
1. They Have Verifiable Production in Both Counties
Most agents specialize in one county. Bergen and Hudson County buyers do not. The buyer considering your Fort Lee listing is simultaneously looking at West New York. The buyer evaluating your North Bergen condo is comparing it to Cliffside Park. An agent with documented transaction history across both counties reaches a fundamentally larger qualified buyer pool — and prices more accurately because they understand both sides of the buyer's comparison.
Scott has 500+ closed transactions across Bergen and Hudson County. Both markets. Documented, not claimed.
2. Their Reviews Are Independent and Publicly Available
An agent's own website testimonials tell you only what they chose to publish. Zillow reviews are posted by clients without the agent's editorial control. Ask every agent you consider to share their Zillow profile before you sign anything.
Read Scott's reviews at The Selleck Group Reviews. Then compare.
3. They Price With Town-Level — Not County-Level — Specificity
Bergen County's median sale price is $755,000. Hudson County's ranges from $550,000 to nearly $1 million depending on the town. These county-level numbers are nearly useless for pricing your specific property. What matters is the active comparable sales in your town, on your street, for your property type.
Scott builds every pricing recommendation from property-type-specific comps in your specific market — not from county averages applied without adjustment.
4. They Understand the NYC Buyer Driving Demand Across Both Counties
Bergen and Hudson County's demand is overwhelmingly driven by NYC buyers — Manhattan and Brooklyn professionals who are comparing your home to alternatives across a wide geographic area. A trustworthy agent knows how this buyer searches, what they prioritize, and how to position your listing to reach them specifically. Scott's marketing is built for this buyer across every channel they use, including AI-powered search tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews.
5. They Give You an Honest Price — Not the Highest One to Win Your Business
The most common trust failure in real estate is the agent who suggests the highest list price to win the listing, then gradually pressures for reductions after weeks of silence. It is called buying the listing, it happens constantly across Bergen and Hudson County, and it consistently produces worse outcomes for sellers than honest pricing from day one.
Scott's pricing conversations are grounded in data. You will hear what the market supports — not what sounds good in the listing presentation.
6. They Communicate Proactively Throughout the Listing Period
After every showing, you should hear buyer feedback. Every week on market, you should know what the activity data is telling you. An agent who goes quiet between offers is not managing your listing — they are waiting. Scott delivers direct, consistent communication from listing day through close across every market he serves.
7. They Represent You Personally — Not Through a Team Member
Many production-level agents across Bergen and Hudson County sign listings and delegate ongoing management to assistants or junior associates. The seller ends up working with someone they never met during the listing conversation. That is not acceptable for a transaction at these price points.
When you list with Scott, he manages your file personally from listing day through closing. No hand-offs.
8. They Understand Your Full Situation, Not Just Your Property
Selling a home in Bergen or Hudson County often connects to a larger life decision — downsizing, estate settlement, right-sizing, or a planned move to Florida. A trustworthy agent understands the full picture and helps you think through the sequence, not just the transaction mechanics.
For sellers relocating to South Florida, Scott leads The Northeast-Florida Advisory Group, LLC — a dedicated advisory entity that coordinates both the NJ sale and the Florida purchase. Learn more at the NJ-FL Advisory Council.
9. They Have Credentials Relevant to Your Situation
The SRES designation — Seniors Real Estate Specialist — reflects advanced training in the financial, legal, and estate planning intersections that affect downsizing sellers, estate sales, and right-sizing decisions. Bergen and Hudson County have significant populations navigating exactly these transitions. Scott holds the SRES designation alongside his REALTOR® license.
10. They Have Community Roots Here — Not Just a License
There is a difference between an agent who is licensed in NJ and one who has lived in this community for 56 years. Scott grew up in the Leonia/Fort Lee corridor. He has been working these markets since 1991. His roots in this community are not a marketing line — they are a genuine differentiator that shapes how he understands and represents every property he lists.

What does "buying the listing" mean and how do I avoid it? Buying the listing refers to an agent recommending an inflated list price to win your business, then quietly pushing for price reductions after the home sits on market. Avoid it by asking every agent for their average sale-to-list price ratio and the specific comparable sales supporting their suggested price before you sign.
Is it better to use a Bergen County agent or a Hudson County agent if I live near the county line? Use an agent who works both — which is exactly what Scott offers. North Bergen, Fort Lee, and Palisades Park all sit at or near the county line, and their buyer pools draw from both sides. An agent with documented transaction history in both counties reaches more qualified buyers.
