I’m Patrick Rumore, a New Jersey REALTOR who helps homeowners in Northern New Jersey turn painful property tax bills into smarter housing and lifestyle decisions. Born and raised in New Jersey, I have lived in several counties and know first‑hand how dramatically property taxes, schools, and long‑term value can vary from town to town, even just a few miles apart.
Much of my focuses is on the high‑tax, high‑opportunity suburbs of Bergen, Essex, Morris, Passaic, and Union Counties. I regularly help clients compare towns like Montclair, Maplewood, Glen Ridge, West Orange, South Orange Village, Westfield, and Summit with lower‑tax or better‑value options such as Paramus, Mahwah, Wyckoff, Franklin Lakes, Saddle River, Upper Saddle River, Chatham, Madison, Bernards Township, and Warren.
Before becoming an agent, I bought homes myself and felt like “just a transaction” once the closing was over. That experience pushed me to build a different kind of real estate business, where clients feel like family and know I’m still there long after the keys change hands. Today, I work with homeowners, move‑up buyers, and investors who want to stay in New Jersey but are ready to rethink where they live, what they pay in property taxes, and how that affects the rest of their financial life.
When I am not breaking down numbers or touring neighborhoods, you will probably find me at a concert enjoying live music and recharging after a week of showings and negotiations. If you live in or are considering the Northern New Jersey suburbs and want a clear, data‑driven way to think about your next move, I would be honored to be your guide.
