Franklin Lakes NJ Real Estate & Homes For Sale, 711 Smoke Hollow Rd

Franklin Lakes NJ Real Estate & Homes For Sale, 711 Smoke Hollow Rd, Bergen County

 

This amazing home locate in Franklin Lakes located in Gorgeous Bergen County NJ

 

 

In the 17th century, Lenape Indians traveled the land we now call Franklin Lakes. They made winter camp in the “Clove” near Buttermilk Falls and fished in Micharagrape Pond ( now Franklin Lake).

 

Slowly, the Dutch settlers made their way west from the Hudson River Valley. In 1701 the East Jersey Proprietors confirmed to Michael Hawden the land around the Pond. In 1772 Franklin Township was formed and included much of northwestern Bergen County.  Farming was the major occupation of the early inhabitants, mostly Dutch with the names of Van Winkle, Van Houten, Ackerman, Pulisfelt, Van Blarcom, etc. They built solid farmhouses of sandstone and fieldstone. Fourteen of these historic homes still stand in our Borough.

Mills sprang up along the creeks: sawmills, gristmills, tanneries and forges. Daniel Youman’s Grist Mill on Franklin Lake was probably the first business established (it later served as a saw mill and a cider mill).

 

The 1876 Walker Atlas showed Franklin Lakes had about 100 residences, 5 mills, 1 tannery, 3 schools, 4 blacksmith and wagon shops, 1 church, 2 hotels, 1 store, and 2 railroad depots.

The railroad stations were built in 1869 when the New Jersey Midland Railroad was extended to Oakland. One station stood at Campgaw on Pulis Avenue, the other at Crystal Lake on High Mountain Road.  Residents used the train for commuting, moving goods and mail.

Around the turn of the century, estate houses and mansions began to appear in the area. The industrial revolution brought wealth, and many of the wealthy became “gentleman farmers,” sometimes living here only in the summer. Examples of these houses include the Bartholf-Hughes house on Somerset, the Post-Terhune house on Franklin Lake Road, and the Atterbury-Brockhurst house on Ewing Avenue.

Eventually, the Campgaw section became the civic center of our Borough. In 1922, Franklin Lakes separated from Franklin Township, incorporated, and elected William V. Pulis as its first Mayor. 

 

Edward May built three lakes and started the Shadow Lake Swim Club, which evolved into Shadow Lakes Estates.  On the other side of the Borough, J. Nevins McBride purchased land around Franklin Lake and began building single-family homes in Urban Farms.

When Route 208 was extended to Oakland in 1959, Franklin Lakes became more accessible, and by 1980 there were more than 8,500 residents. The completion of Interstate 287 in the early 1990’s stimulated another boom in building. Today, the population of our Borough is 10,422.

 

From a sleepy rural community to an affluent metropolitan suburb, Franklin Lakes has changed extensively, continuing to be a desirable place to live and raise families.

The Franklin Lakes Historical Society was created to help preserve our Borough’s rich history, while at the same time looking to the future of our unique community and those who choose to make this their home.

Typical Real Estate Agents Get You Typical Results

Typical Real Estate Agents Get You Typical Results

 

The goal of any Realtor is to get the highest and best price for their clients home or property, no matter if the market is perceived good or bad, that is what we are supposed to do.

 

I see way to many agents default to the "comp and underprice model" that in my opinion is the mark of a lazy typical agent living from one zillow deal to another.

Why not push the boundries a little with pricing and be a little bit more creative to exceed your clients expectations by using Professional Photography and Professional Video at minimum, we can also throw in some VR tours as well.

I think it comes down to not wanting to do the extra work, go the extra mile and pay a little bit more for creative, photography and visuals to reach more people and get more eyeballs on the property, especailly in times like we are in right now you need to be a Master Marketing Agent.

I only see agents doing this when they have a home that they think is going to net them a guest apperance on HGTV or Million Dollar Listing.

When you list a home and a home owner hires you to do a job you should put out a great product, and everything from the way the sign sits out in front of the house, to your marketing says something about you and your brand.
