CALDWELL, N.J., March 12, 2018 (Newswire.com) - John Sass, broker-owner of Century 21 Cedarcrest Realty, has announced that the Rick Lodato Team has joined his Caldwell, N.J. real estate agency. In addition to Lodato, a long-time Verona resident, his team members include licensed real estate agents and REALTORS®Lizette Brown, Diana Weeks, and Peter LoCurto, also all of Verona. The Rick Lodato Team serves residential real estate clients throughout the West Essex area including the Caldwells, Cedar Grove, Verona, Roseland, Fairfield, and Montclair, plus eastern Morris County, and Passaic County.
The team was most recently at Berkshire Hathaway NJ Properties in Verona, where Lodato was the top listing agent for the past nine years, in its West Essex/Verona Marketing Center.

It’s a mission that Sass’s agency works hard to fulfill every day.
Century 21 is entering a new chapter system-wide and having the Rick Lodato Team on board represents a new chapter for Century 21 Cedarcrest as well. They are the most prestigious team in Essex County and are as committed to great service as we are. It's a great match for everyone involved.

On his decision to join Century 21 Cedarcrest Realty, Lodato said, “I’ve known John Sass professionally for 25 years and he and Century 21 Cedarcrest have an excellent reputation. After nine years in a more corporate environment, I wanted to come back to a more team-oriented, intimate brokerage. John’s office combines the best of a national franchise with great name recognition and tremendous agent support and the independently owned, local real estate agency that really knows the area and understands what customers are looking for. Plus, as a former manager and owner of my own brokerage, I understand the importance of delivering great service throughout every transaction.”
Of his team, Lodato added that “People like the idea that there will always be someone from my team available to work with them, and our division of labor creates more efficiency, which all translates into better service. Lizette, Diana, and Pete take care of our buyers, and I manage and market sellers’ listings. I enjoy mentoring them, and I’m proud of the skilled team I’ve formed to serve our buying and selling clients.” To reach Rick Lodato, call 973-239-3535 or email RickLodato@gmail.com.
