DAUGHTER’S SEARCH FOR DAD’S NEW HOME YIELDS UNEXPECTED RESULTS AT HERITAGE POINTE

RE/MAX Real Estate Agent and Her Father Find New Rental Opportunities at Teaneck Retirement Community

TEANECK, N.J., Aug. 12, 2009 – When Maria Rini’s father was looking for a new place to call home, the RE/MAX real estate agent did her research. She and her father, Bill Rini of Ridgefield Park, investigated a few retirement communities in the area, but none compared with Heritage Pointe of Teaneck. The elegant full-service rental retirement community is situated adjacent to 46 acres of preserved woodlands within the Teaneck Conservancy, at the intersection of I-95 and Route 80 right next to Glenpointe.

“There is nothing else like this in Bergen County,” said Maria, who, with her husband Richard Gneiding, is a Broker-Associate with RE/MAX Real Estate Limited in Oradell. Heritage Pointe features distinctive amenities and services typically found in luxury hotels; recreational and health and wellness programs, including free spa membership at Glenpointe; beautiful surroundings; and every convenience imaginable for retirees seeking a truly carefree lifestyle.

The elder Rini, an avid fisherman who remains very active, is enjoying newfound interests and relationships at Heritage Pointe. “I’m busier than ever,” he said, “with more time and freedom to try new things.” Rini has discovered the community’s discussion groups and cultural programs, explored new places through planned excursions, and made new friendships at Heritage Pointe, including a backgammon partner who joins him for a nightly game after dinner. He plans to take Spanish lessons and check out tai chi classes as well. In between his activities at Heritage Pointe, he has shared a few of the volumes of a book he recently wrote and published called Fish Tales – a compilation of his fishing stories from his boyhood to recent years.

During their initial tour this spring, Maria met Kevin Hunter, Director of Sales and Marketing; the two shared ideas on promoting Heritage Pointe to realtors, and the conversation resulted in Maria and her husband becoming the exclusive realtors for the community. The couple developed a special web site to showcase Heritage Pointe, www.heritagepointeteaneck.com. The web site showcases the community’s upscale one- and two-bedroom apartments, beautiful dining and community rooms, the neighboring woods and landscaped grounds. Their first client to rent at Heritage Pointe was Maria’s dad.

“The staff at Heritage Pointe is great to work with professionally, and for my dad, they made his transition and move there so easy,” said Maria.

As Rini prepares for an extended fishing vacation with an old friend, he noted that now he can leave without a care. “I’m no longer concerned about unwanted solicitors, the gardener, or leaving the house unattended,” he said.

“Active older adults who are downsizing from their homes are attracted to Heritage Pointe because of the vast array of lifestyle choices we offer, coupled with the flexibility of renting a spacious apartment,” said Retirement Specialist Shelley Edelson. “Mr. Rini is enjoying the best of many worlds: stimulating social and cultural activities, gourmet dining that rivals the best restaurants in Bergen County, and carefree living. At the same time, he is close to his grown children but still independent,” she added, noting that Rini likes the convenience of being able to take a bus into Manhattan from the Glenpointe location.

“Seniors are not going to leave their lifelong homes unless they have something to go to that they’re excited about,” said his daughter. “We wanted my dad to live like a king, and the hotel-style living at Heritage Pointe provides that and more.”

Heritage Pointe of Teaneck is located at 600 Frank W. Burr Boulevard in Teaneck, near the Glenpointe Marriott, and is easily accessible to Manhattan by car or bus with convenient access to Rt. 80 and I-95/NJ Turnpike.
