A landscape of more than 40 lakes, ridges and
abundant wildlife draw many to West Milford. The township's 80 square miles
-including 17,000 acres of protected watershed, open space and state forest -
make West Milford the largest municipality in Passaic County. Large-scale
development is limited by its vast water resources and protected forests. For
those among the town's 28,173 residents who work in New York City, the drive
back home can feel like traveling to a different planet.

hiking, boating, fishing and swimming, with many more outlets for those

First Time Buyers >Finding A Real Estate Agent
Finding an experienced, reliable real estate agent whom you like and trust is the first step in locating your new home. Here is an approach to finding the right agent.
Call or stop by a real estate office and ask to speak with the manager. Describe the type of home you are looking for. The manager can refer you to an agent who knows that market very well. You might also use weekend "open houses" as opportunities to look for a real estate agent, as well as a new home. It is really a matter of chemistry! If you meet someone who is knowledgeable and with whom you feel comfortable, call that person!
Once you establish a strong working relationship with a real estate agent, your agent can show you a number of homes for sale, even if they are listed with other companies. Often the agent can show you a property as soon as it is placed on the market. Many of the best homes never even make it to the weekend classified section of the newspaper!
