Preferred Properties has been doing business in Monmouth County since the 1970’s in different incarnations. In the past 2 months our company has been working diligently straight through the lockdown, creating a 100% virtual office offering walkthrough virtual tours, video conferencing, virtual open houses, and paperless transactions up until closing. We also have a team of professionals to ensure smooth closings from marketing to the final walkthrough. This includes appraisers, title companies, attorneys, home inspectors and mortgage lenders. So as we transition to the “new normal” we’re able to accommodate both buyers and sellers in completing real estate transactions to suit their comfort level. Carl Chesna has been with our companies for 20 years since relocating to Asbury Park after graduating from Pace University in New York City. He’s been recognized as a top producer nationally at annual sales conferences, and regionally by the Monmouth County Association of Realtors and New Jersey Association of Realtors. Carl has served on Asbury Park’s Sustainability Committee and is one of a small handful of real estate brokers to earn the Eco Broker designation. Outside real estate Carl enjoys writing and recording his original music, and playing music locally with his ensemble, Carl Chesna & Co. Preferred Properties www.ppmoves.com
