AboutAdvantage Realty
Our Company
Advantage Realty, Inc. and each of its' agents operate under a business plan with specific goals. In December 1998 Advantage Realty, Inc. moved to 900 West Route 6 - Morris' newest office complex. With the new office Advantage Realty, Inc. has introduced a top-notch computer and telephone network which includes Internet access, a comprehensive website, scanned photos and graphic presentations, digital cameras, database management systems, voice mail and Internet capabilities which allows agents to access valuable information at the touch of a button. Now Advantage Realty's sales agents have the capability to access multiple listing information, the company's database, and the Internet from their home, their car, or the client's home as well as the office. Advantage Realty, Inc. is a full-service company with expertise in the sale of residential homes, single-family lots. In recent years the company has become heavily involved in the farm, commercial, and industrial real estate market.
