I’m Alison Gerver

As I traveled throughout my adolescence, I experienced a wide variety of cultures learning about the people, the food, the lifestyle, the architecture, and all that comes with exploring new places. From observing different ways of life, to connecting with people around the world, this energy fueled my passion for people, places, and design. Graduating with a degree in American Studies, Psychology, and Marketing, I discovered that real estate was the perfect way to blend my creative side with my love of helping others. In 2014, a conversation with Liberty Realty, one of Hudson County’s leading brokerages, sparked my career in real estate and I’ve been all in ever since.

When we work together, we start with a conversation that takes your goals, priorities, and lifestyle into account. With an education-first approach, we’ll dive into the data analyzing pricing trends, inventory levels, and demand so we can strategize the best path forward.

With unmatched energy, I fiercely advocate for my clients and bring a creative, functional eye to each space to maximize its potential. Whether it’s optimizing a traditional floor plan or reimagining a layout, I’m all about uncovering opportunities to create a home that aligns with your goals.

Outside of real estate, you’ll find me seeking out coffee shops and cocktail bars, cooking recipes I’ve never tried, or hosting laid-back gatherings that bring the community together. If you’re looking for a real estate advisor who’s on your side from start to finish and beyond, let’s write this next chapter together!

Advising with purpose

My mission is to make every move intentional, guiding you to your next chapter with clarity, strategy, and confidence. With a personalized approach built on trust and transparency, I will empower you to make confident decisions that align with your goals, lifestyle, and future.

Selling for success

  • Selling your home is more than a transaction—it’s about maximizing value, minimizing stress, and moving forward with confidence. I start with a strategic consultation to align with your goals. From there, I’ll build a plan that’s tailored to your home, your timeline, and the current market.

  • I’ll conduct a thorough assessment of your home’s condition and market readiness. Together, we’ll create a tailored plan that may include staging recommendations and strategic repairs/updates to maximize your return.

  • This isn’t guesswork. I dig into real-time market data, recent comps, and buyer behavior—not just to list, but to sell. Pricing is a strategy, not just a number. With the right approach, you’ll attract attention, build momentum, and gain leverage when the offers roll in.

  • I build a tailored marketing plan to highlight your home and get it in front of serious buyers. With professional photography, strategic exposure, and strong agent outreach, I create momentum around your home. Showings are well-managed and my feedback is clear and honest.

  • This is where I play to win. When presenting offers, we’ll review all of the details including price, terms, timeline, contingencies—to ensure you feel confident and informed to make With a strong yet fair approach, I lead negotiations with one goal in mind: maximizing value while protecting my client’s best interests.

  • Once under contract, I stay on top of every moving piece. From attorney review to contingencies and deadlines, my clients never have to chase updates or wonder what’s next. I’m with them every step of the way to the closing table and beyond.

Buying with confidence

  • Over a call or in person, you’ll connect with me to discuss your goals, timeline, and what you’re looking for in a home. It’s not just about square footage and bedrooms—it’s about understanding your lifestyle, must-haves, and vision. This sets the foundation for a smooth, personalized process where no detail is overlooked.

  • Before looking at homes, it is crucial to be financially prepared—this isn’t optional—it’s your edge. I will connect you with a trusted lender to get pre-approved and define a budget. Beyond the numbers, I’ll map out a personalized buying strategy so you’ll be prepared to make a confident decision.

  • I don’t just send listings—I create opportunities. Whether you’re looking for a condo in Hoboken, a brownstone in Jersey City, or home in the suburbs, I filter out the noise and focus on properties that meet your needs.

  • I use a data-driven approach to help you craft a competitive offer that stands out for the right reasons—not just the price. In multiple-offer situations, I know how to strategically position your offer to catch the seller’s attention while making sure your interests are protected.

  • Once your offer is accepted, I take care of all the details—navigating attorney review, scheduling inspections, and keeping track of every deadline. I keep things moving while protecting your interests. From start to finish, I stay ahead of the game so you can focus on preparing for your next chapter.

  • Congratulations! Once you have signed on the dotted line and funds have transferred, you're officially a homeowner! Our journey together doesn’t stop here. I’m just a call away for anything you need—from contractor recommendations to design insight, or just grabbing a cup of coffee to chat.

  • Let’s chat! We’ll kick off with a 15-minute introductory call to discuss your budget, preferred neighborhoods, must-have features, and your move-in timeline. This sets the foundation for a successful search.

  • Rentals move fast! I’ll guide you through organizing your application documents, such as pay stubs, ID, and references, so you’re ready to apply when the perfect property comes along. I’ll also provide tips to strengthen your application.

  • Based on your criteria, I’ll curate a list of top properties tailored to your needs. Once you’ve selected your favorites, I’ll schedule showings, ensuring we maximize our time and see the best options.

  • When you’ve found “the one,” I’ll handle the application process. Your prepared documents will make the submission smooth and efficient. Once approved, I’ll review the lease terms with you, ensuring all details are clear before signing.

  • Congratulations! I’ll coordinate the key handoff with the landlord and assist with any final steps, such as setting up utilities or moving logistics. Then, it’s time to settle into your new home!
