Steady leadership, cleanly executed.
Jeff Montemarano is an owner and President of CENTURY 21 Preferred Realty, recognized for steady leadership, operational excellence, and a client-protection mindset that keeps standards high and transactions clean. A full-time broker, he handles every deal with professionalism, clarity, and the kind of oversight that helps clients feel in control from the first conversation to the closing table.
Under Jeff's leadership, the firm has grown into a multi-location group serving Morris, Passaic, Bergen, and Sussex counties, with a team built to support the full life cycle of every transaction, and a track record of $700M+ in sales across 10,000+ clients.
His leadership is deeply rooted in the communities he serves. Jeff has called Smoke Rise home for decades and, together with his wife Jennifer, raised their two daughters there, a long-term local connection that creates real understanding of pricing, neighborhoods, and what truly drives buyer decisions in North Jersey.
With decades of real estate experience, Jeff brings a calm, structured approach, focused on standards, transaction oversight, and the operational details that protect clients and keep deals moving cleanly, especially when timelines tighten or challenges arise mid-contract.
