					Bought a Single Family home in 2024 in East brunswick, NJ. I would describe Wales as a full service Realtor, he knew what he was doing and was very responsive. We found a house the very first day we stepped out with him and closed exactly a month from that day.  He was simply awesome, he provided us with consistent updates throughout the process and offered meaningful guidance as well.  He recommended people who could assist us with other services anytime we asked. He would always give you more than one person so you have options based on your budget.  I'm glad we got in touch with him, and I would recommend him to any prospective buyer any day.   Thanks again Wales for your services.

					Sold a Apartment home in 2018 in Colonial heights, Yonkers, NY. When we decided as a family to finally move out, we needed to find a person to sell our apartment. I was a bit nervous at first because we knew we wanted someone that was active as possible to sell our home. We were very happy to find Wales as our agent. He sat us down on the table and gave us advice on what we should do and he did the research to find out what is the best deal with can get with our apartment. It wasn't an easy journey to sell this apartment but he made sure it did the best with what he had. In the end, we finally come to an agreement and were happy that he was able to find a new owner for the apartment.

					Bought a home in 2024 in South broad street, Newark, NJ. Wales is by far one of the most hard working and down to earth agents that I have gotten the opportunity to meet. Not just from a business standpoint but as a person as well. I think I called Wales on a Wednesday or Thursday night and by that weekend we were already out and about looking at properties. I would literally call/text this man at all hours of the day and he would always respond in 5 minutes or less, the work ethic is top notch. I told Wales the specs I was looking for, my price range and not even a full month later we closed the deal. I am forever grateful of the hard work Wales put in for us to get the deal done. 10/10 recommend any day of the week. If you’re looking for someone hungry and ready to get you into that next big chapter, this is 100% your guy. Thank you Wales!

					Bought a Single Family home in 2024 in East brunswick, NJ. Working with Wales Cruz was an absolute pleasure from start to finish.

					Bought a home in 2023. Wales Cruz has been a fantastic realtor even before he officially became our realtor! As my wife and I tried to navigate the challenging housing market as first-time buyers, Wales made the process much easier and smoother. He was very responsive, took incredible initiative to find us houses within our price range, and helped us to find the perfect house for our family! He was on top of the entire process, assembling an excellent team, while repeatedly (and patiently) assuaging my wife's and my anxiety during a very stressful process. I *highly* recommend Wales for anyone looking to buy or sell a home!
