“We are seeing a spike in both buyer and seller confidence. And we want the success of our industry to contribute to the success of our overall community. So this spring we are celebrating the recovery of the real estate market by sharing the good fortune with the Joseph M. Sanzari Children’s Hospital.” Said Eric Anderson, CEO of Alexander Anderson as he joined Hackensack Mayor Jorge E.
