Chatham Boro
Named by Money Magazine in 2005, as “One of the Top Ten Places to Live in the United States,” Chatham is located 25 miles west of New York City, in southern Morris County. People living in Chatham tend to stay in Chatham their whole lives. Generations of families, dating back to the town’s earliest inception, are still here and thriving. And it is, in part, this sense of history that is bringing in new families all the time. While it is a very modern town in its amenities and services, it still possesses a lot of the old-world, village charm that brought the original families here in the first place. Chatham is actually made up of two distinct areas; Chatham Borough and ChathamTownship, – collectively called Chatham (aka "The Chathams").
Chatham Borough consists of the 2.4 square miles surrounding the quaint downtown. Residents in the Borough can walk to town and the train station and the homes tend towards variations of Victorian architecture, with neatly, well-manicured lawns.
No matter in which Chatham you reside, commuting to New York City and other nearby metropolitan areas is quite convenient. Located on New Jersey Transit’s Mid-Town Direct line, trains go straight into New York’s Penn Station or Hoboken Terminal. Additionally, there are many bus routes servicing the area and Interstates 78, 287 and the Garden State Parkway are close by. Chatham Borough’s downtown features many unique shops and restaurants, and there are many other shopping facilities nearby, such as the Short Hills and Livingston Malls.
The Chatham Regional school system is very highly ranked, with the high school recently placing 12th on New Jersey Monthly Magazine’s list of top schools in the state. The Library of the Chathams is a great resource to residents and nearby Drew and Fairleigh Dickinson Universities offer additional classes and cultural opportunities. Many outdoor recreational facilities are accessible to residents, such as, the Great Swamp National Wildlife Preserve, Jockey Hollow, Loantaka and the Morristown National Historical Park.

Accepting An Offer >Responding to Low Offers
The beginning of negotiations is usually the end of many months of hard work for the buyer or seller. The work ahead requires skill in order to maintain a strong position.
Sellers can lose their advantage if they do not counter an offer that a buyer has made. Even if the opening offer is beneath what the seller feels is reasonable, it is advisable for the seller to respond with a slight reduction from the asking price. The most important component in negotiating is good communication.
The best way to handle a low offer is to counter it with definite terms that are favorable to the seller. A counter offer has two advantages: 1) it keeps the buyer interested, and 2) it moves the negotiation forward and gives the buyer the opportunity to submit another offer that the seller is more likely to prefer.
