“Cynthia is a professional and gets the job done! If you want someone who takes charge and can close the deal, Cynthia is your lady! I am very grateful to have her as our real estate agent, which is why we were able to acquire the home of our dreams.”

“Cindy helped us sell our home and purchase a new dream house! Her advice for staging the home we were selling was PERFECT and helped us get two offers in 3 days! Our home purchase was anything but typical….we ended up making offers on two homes (the first fell through during inspection negotiations) and she helped us work through a huge host of unexpected issues. She fought on our behalf and made sure we got the best deal possible–we couldn’t have done it without her!”

“Cynthia is a great REALTOR®. First, she listens and takes the time to learn about her clients; consequently, she always brought us to houses we’d like. She’s also very accommodating and was willing to work with our schedules. And, she has a sense of urgency. When our dream house suddenly came on the market, she got us in right away. She gave us great guidance on making the offer and kept on top of all the details from offer to closing. Last, but certainly not least, she’s so pleasant to be with and made house shopping a lot of fun. Truth be told, we miss her.”

“If you are looking for a REALTOR® to sell your home quickly and well, then I would highly recommend hiring Cynthia Fowlkes from RE/MAX InStyle Realty in Skillman, NJ. My husband and I are very grateful to have found her in our search for the right REALTOR® to sell our home in Somerset, NJ, in 2017.
We had tried to sell it previously in June of 2015 with another REALTOR® for six months without success. The other realtor did not have a team in place the way Cindy does to get your home in the best shape for an easy sale. She did not price our home correctly and resisted doing anything above and beyond taking her own pictures of our home and putting it on the MLS listings. Her poor judgment and passive lackluster performance led to the failure to find the right buyer for our home.
When hiring a REALTOR®, you want someone who will be proactive and energetic. You also want someone who will guide you well and have your back, especially if the going gets rough.
We ultimately had to rent our home and had another very negative experience with both the REALTOR®, who was a dual agent, and who had the tenants’ interests at heart, and the difficult tenants leasing our home.
When we finally were able to put our home back up for sale, I did some careful research. I liked how technologically savvy Cindy is. I saw she did a lot of marketing on the internet in addition to her MLS listings.
I also liked how she presented homes in her listings. She hires a professional photographer to do your home pictures. Your home, no matter what price range it is, gets the same professional treatment as very high-priced homes.
Cindy wants to do her best to make your home look as attractive as possible so it will sell quickly and well. She has an amazing team that helps work their magic at affordable prices. One member of her team even constructed a new stone countertop for our kitchen and installed a new sink and faucet as well.
The landscaper on her team is the best I have ever seen. He will transform your property to make it as appealing as possible. We wish we could transport him to where we are now living. He is that good. We even had him do the power washing for our home because we knew he would do such an outstanding job. It is Cindy who has attracted and vetted this great team.
After your home is ready for sale, Cindy knows how to price it well. She knows her comps and is also open to what sellers are thinking. If you are painting or replacing carpeting, she will also make some color and product recommendations.
In addition to all the energy and expertise Cindy brings to her job, she is a very accomplished and spiritual woman who will always uplift and energize those around her. My husband loved talking with her because of her endless optimism and upbeat “can-do” inspirational spirit.
Through past experiences, we were so saddened to learn what a cut-throat and selfish business real estate can be. Coming from such negative realtor experiences, Cindy was a breath of fresh air.
If I had to have one criticism, it would be that she was not always available when we wanted to talk to her or follow up on some loose ends. However, everything ultimately was done. Being so successful, she is often very busy. We had to rely more on her because we were living out of state.
Since my home’s listing, Cindy now has her own support team dedicated to her clients. I think that will help with the smaller details and free her up to what she does best – to help her clients buy and sell their homes for the best prices.
Our home was listed in June and closed on August 31. We had two offers and sold at just $3,000 below our asking price. That was mainly because of an appraisal that was lower than it should have been.
Take care when making the decision to hire a REALTOR®. You want someone who is technologically savvy, energetic and proactive both in trying to sell your home or helping you to buy one. Check their listings and read their reviews. Then after connecting with them, make sure the chemistry is right.
We were lucky to find Cindy. We know she will continue to do great work for those she is serving and for her employees and business. She always has ideas and a vision of what she wants to achieve for her clients, her employees and her business.
I believe the best REALTORS® are the ones who will treat you as though you are a member of their family and that they would want no less for you than what they would want for their mother, father, brother or sister. I wish more REALTORS® had both the vision and heart that Cindy has along with her experience and wise expertise.”

“Cindy was amazing! She is very knowledgeable and her level of expertise with regards to home buying/selling is remarkable!! Her market analysis provides an insight that is crucial for any home buyer/seller in making an informed decision. There are realtors that are there to help guide you thru the process and then there is Cindy who goes above and beyond what is expected of a realtor to provide a level of service that is difficult to find in real estate. She kept us well-informed throughout the home selling process and was always quick to respond. I will definitely use her services again in the future and would recommend her to others!”
