What do I attribute to my successful real estate career? Knowledge, kindness, a strong work ethic, and respect, which is an incredibly powerful combination. Whether coaching an agent or helping clients, you can count on me time after time. I will guide you through this ever-changing market. I will work extremely hard and will treat you the way I know I like to be treated.
I moved to the Peninsula area after graduating from UNC in 1992. Working in NY in the Fashion Industry and leading a sales team provided me the tools to transition my business knowledge to an accomplished real estate career as a Broker Manager and Realtor. Over the last decade, I worked for a local Luxury Real Estate Brokerage as a Regional Sales Manager, successfully managing three offices and coaching agents by helping them build their businesses. I joined NextHome Peninsula Realty Group as the Broker and an owner because of what the company provides their agents; from the support, human connection to the full suite of marketing and technology tools which helps our Agents to focus on building relationships with clients & support their real estate needs.
When working with buyers, sellers or investors, my attention to detail and negotiating skills to get the best return for my clients is what sets myself and my team at NextHome apart from the industry. The look that a client gets when they find or sell THEIR home for top dollar is priceless! I ensure a smooth transaction from contract to close so that the celebration is at closing!
With every client, whether an Agent, buyer, seller or investor, it is all about you. I am a guide ready to serve and help. I enjoy what I do and I do it very well. I look forward to working with you.

Recommendations
Irene and Jenna at NextHome Peninsula Realty Group were incredible to work with. From the start, they guided us with real expertise, helped us understand each neighborhood, and quickly honed in on what would be the right fit for us. They were always accessible
and extremely responsive, supporting us through everything from the home search and contract terms to trusted referrals that made closing seamless. Their clear communication, consistent follow-through, and steady guidance made the entire experience smooth
and straightforward.
We would enthusiastically recommend Irene and Jenna to anyone looking for knowledgeable, attentive partners who genuinely care about finding the right home for their clients.

Irene Zitzner and her company did an excellent job of helping me sell my house which I lived in for 43 years. As you can imagine, selling my house was difficult for me because of the attachment I had with it. Irene did a great job of encouraging me as
the process went along. Her open house was sensational. We got 25 bids and a line outside of the house waiting to come in. I truly felt happy that so many people liked my house, all because Irene made sure that everything associated with the house looked outstanding.
Thank you Irene!
We had started to look for a retirement home in Monmouth Co, and a friend of ours had recommended Irene. On the first telephone conversation we had, she asked all the right questions of us and arranged to see a house the next day. We met in person and
found her knowledgeable, friendly and efficient. The results were we put a bid in on the house and, with her guidance, we were able to close on the deal. Smooth and easy. She hooked us up with all the right folks to make the purchase hassle free. Irene got
it done!
I have counted on Irene twice now to help with my housing needs (1) to help me rent a home I own and (2) to purchase a house in a tough sellers market.
Irene took the time to really understand what I wanted and had the strategy to help me achieve it! Long story short, I ended up with the “stately” property I wanted, in the location I wanted, and with a perfect house for me and actually under my budget!!
Thanks for taking me to see homes during the off hours that worked for me and helping me get into such an amazing place when it’s not the easiest currently!
You can absolutely rely on Irene to make your housing dream come true!

Besides Irene's professionalism, let me first address what I believe is her most important quality: her empathy. The sale of my parent's house took a few unforeseen twists and turns. During the entire time, Irene always made my parents feel at ease without
overwhelming them with any anxiety (caused by the sale of the house). I was with Irene at many meetings with my parents and I know that my parents were made comfortable by Irene's step by step explanations and hand holding. Second, her professionalism. Every
step of the way, Irene took me by the and and explained all necessary actions to be taken to drive a successful sale of the house. Other realtors might do the same but I always felt that Irene went "above and beyond." BIG TIME recommendation going forward
for Irene.
Great realtor

Irene is a true professional who showcased precise market knowledge and brought enthusiasm to our sale. She helped us navigate the process both smoothly and quickly. I recommend her highly!
As an agent myself I entrusted the sale of my longtime family home to Irene. She made this very difficult decision and process so much easier. It was a bit of a difficult sale and required lots of negotiations, but she made sure that I was protected, and
negotiations went in my favor. Thank you Irene!
As first time home-buyers in a not-so-friendly market, we knew the path to ownership was going to be a journey. Irene supported us every step of the way acting as advisor, advocate, and coach.
Her professionalism and positive energy was exactly what we needed to navigate a tricky and unknown process. She was flexible and generous with her time, always making herself available for last minute showing or quick conversation.
Most importantly for us - Irene was extremely patient and reassuring from start to finish. Over our year of ongoing questions, skepticism, and almost-offers she never wavered in her positive approach. Irene’s constant refrain was “I’ll be here with you until we find the home that’s right for you” and we certainly did!

Irene did a great job in selling our home. She went out of her way to ensure that our house looked its best to generate the best offer. In addition, her knowledge of the local market was invaluable in managing our expectations and ultimately selling the
home at significantly more then the sales price. She also helped us understand the process and what we needed to get done and was always on top of everything. She always responded to any questions or concerns in a timely manner which made us very comfortable
that everything was being handled.

Irene was wonderful to work with and she made the whole process easy. It was a pleasure getting to know her.
Irene is an Angel she truly understands what your needs and wants are when looking for house and or selling your house. She goes above and beyond and makes this experience a beautiful one. Irene has an unbelievable feel for the market and I promise you,
you are in awesome hands when you work with her.
Recently we were looking for a very unique piece of property for our business. We needed a specific amount of space, layout and location. Irene went above and beyond (and beyond and beyond!) not only to help us find and secure that property, but she did
it with a smile and an amazingly professional attitude (even when circumstances were trying). We have no amount of praise that would equal how amazing our experience with her was and we HIGHLY recommend her! Thank you again for all you did for us, Irene! Laurie

Absolutely loved working with Irene! She is super friendly, very responsive and listened to everything we wanted in a home! She found us our home within 2 weeks! She is personable, understanding and never judges. She is easy to trust and knows exactly
what to do to get you your dream home! I Highly recommend her
Irene is the best! It’s intimidating to be a first time home buyer in this market, but she always made me feel informed and confident in my decisions throughout the process. She went above and beyond to make my offer attractive enough to beat out the other
four offers! I’m in my dream home all thanks to Irene. It was truly a pleasure to work with Irene and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a lot of local knowledge, expertise, and overall kindness.
Irene is a wonderful person to deal with. Always available to answer any questions and very knowledgeable about the real estate market. My real estate transaction was very complicated and she handled it like the professional that she is. I highly recommend
Irene for all your real estate needs!
Irene did a wonderful job helping me sell my townhome! From helping me first rent out my townhome to now selling it 3 years later, Irene made the process so easy and flawless. She is very knowledgeable and communicative which made it so easy to trust her
that my property is in great hands. I’d recommend Irene to anyone who is in the market of buying and/or selling a home!
