Katherine "Kate" Raftery

Rumson and Fair Haven Listing Agent | Concierge Real Estate to Maximize Your Home Value If you’re thinking about selling your home in Rumson or Fair Haven, strategy matters. Northern Monmouth County buyers move quickly — and they pay a premium for homes that feel updated, well-maintained, and truly move-in ready. The right preparation directly impacts your sale price, days on market, and negotiating power. As a top local Rumson and Fair Haven listing agent, I offer a concierge real estate approach designed to maximize your home’s value before it ever hits the MLS. That means: Coordinating clean-outs (basements, attics, garages) Managing repairs and smart cosmetic updates Overseeing vendor timelines Strategic staging designed to attract stronger offers We focus on improvements that increase your net profit — not random renovations. If a kitchen refresh, bathroom update, lighting upgrade, or exterior improvement is likely to deliver a return in this market, I’ll guide the strategy and manage the process. If it won’t add value? We skip it. You won’t be handed a checklist and left to figure it out. You’ll get a clear, customized plan for selling your home in Rumson, Fair Haven, or Northern Monmouth County — including what to do, what to avoid, projected costs, and expected return. You make the key decisions. I handle the details. If you’re researching how to sell your home in Rumson or Fair Haven, let’s start with a smart plan designed to protect and maximize your home value.

Brookdale’s 2026 Scholarship Bash
The Brookdale Community College Foundation invites the community to A Night with the Stars: Where Futures Shine on Friday, April 24, 2026, at 6:00 p.m. at Branches in West Long Branch. The evening will bring together friends and champions of Brookdale to celebrate generosity and invest in the success of students across our community.
Brookdale is the #1 community college in New Jersey and ranks in the top 10% of community colleges nationally. Its Cyber Defense and Nursing programs are designated Centers of Excellence by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the National League for Nursing. With 130 nurses graduating annually, many of us, or our loved ones, will benefit from their care at some point. Yet more than 50% of Brookdale students rely on financial aid.
“We hope the community will join us for a wonderful evening that celebrates Brookdale students and helps ensure their futures continue to shine,” said 2026 Scholarship Bash Co-Chairs Carol Stillwell, Candy Langan-Sattenspiel, and Tracey Abby-White.
Guests will enjoy an elegant evening featuring dinner, dancing, an open bar, and both live and silent auctions, all in celebration of the bright futures made possible through scholarship support. Proceeds from the evening directly fund scholarships that remove financial barriers and help more Brookdale students pursue and complete their academic goals.
Join us for a night where generosity shines and futures rise.
