Carol Velez Fardin knows what makes people connect when it comes to finding that perfect home. A Maplewood resident since 2001, her background in the fields of marketing, sales and business development is the perfect segue as a KW Realtor serving the sought-after towns along the Mid-town Direct train line. Carol, with her husband Jim, have raised four children in this community and have benefited from the great schools, restaurants, shops and conveniences that Maplewood, South Orange, Montclair, Millburn, Short Hills, Summit and Chatham have to offer. Carol excels at every stage of the real estate transaction and offers her clients an outstanding level of service for anyone who is ready to buy or sell a home. Her friends, clients and colleagues remark on her key strengths: positive energy, tenacity, perseverance, honesty, ethics, savvy negotiation skills and her ability to network with large groups of people, seamlessly. As a former resident of New York City s upper west side, Carol and her family have enjoyed living in an area where the energy, charm and architecture present a natural progression from city living to an urban-suburban bedroom community. Our towns along the Midtown Direct line offer a signature sweet spot for buying your first home and raising a family, says Fardin. The best catch? You re only 30 minutes from NYC and an hour away from beaches, lakes, and scenic farm side getaways. Carol studied psychology and art history at Providence College, RI and continued her education in the marketing development program at NYU. Living in Manhattan, her career was in marketing for traditional and digital media, within a vast range of innovative and strategic professional environments from entertainment, fashion, the Internet and entrepreneurial ventures. Carol knows that the best home for you starts with that butterfly feeling you have when you walk through that front door, and how you visualize your future and your life in your next perfect home. Let her help you fulfill your dreams in the best home suited for you! To reach Carol Velez Fardin, call (917) 450-8843 or email
