Meet vanessa AND cHARLIE

About the founders

The last 20 years have brought success to both Vanessa and her clients, as her team has negotiated and closed new housing for hundreds and hundreds of families, amounting to well over $500,000,000 in sales. Currently, PPG is the #1 Real Estate team for Maplewood/South Orange, which simply means that Vanessa’s unique “P7” plan for home selling is winning! Years ago, Vanessa appeared in two seasons of the real estate show “Bought & Sold” on HGTV, where she became a recognizable face for honest and ethical real estate practices, always putting others FIRST. Her sales goals are important because they help her reach as many people as possible with service that is fair, honest, ethical and at a concierge-level but just as important is her “giving goal”.


Vanessa has a mission/vision to give back to her community in ways that have a lasting impact. Pollock Properties Group has raised and donated over $350,000 in the last decade to local charities, community events, global initiatives, and her family's very own Pollock Arts Initiative (formerly the Vanessa Pollock Music Initiative). Vanessa and the team hope to increase the giving every year to come. On a national level, Vanessa is the creator of the #CareServeGive business model and teaches, trains and speaks to audiences of all sizes about how to grow a profitable business by being servant-hearted, community-focused and generosity-based. On a personal level, Vanessa, her Broadway-Star husband Charlie and 2 of their 3 children reside in South Orange, NJ, after having lived in the East Village of NYC, Downtown Jersey City, and Maplewood NJ. Their oldest grown child is a musician based out of Los Angeles.

The Pollock Properties Group is a group of "go givers":

We are a team of “go-givers” who CARE about our clients and our community. We do not “sell”, we SERVE. And we are committed to giving: we GIVE time, attention, counsel, education, value, education and resources to our clients. We are also committed to giving back to our communities AND to where our clients hearts are – please ask about our “Closing for a Cause” closing gift. We serve clients and communities with honesty, integrity, and sincerity.

We also work very hard to break down the home selling and buying process, as well as the realtor stereotype, while building genuine relationships. We commit to be real, stay open, listen to you & always put you first. When you work with us, you work with the most knowledgeable and connected in the business. We put YOU first. And we make YOUR goals a reality. We appreciate the opportunity to serve you and yours and look forward to connecting with you soon!
