With Brett Favre becoming a New York Jet, I instantly threw on my real estate broker hat and thought to myself, “someone is moving! I want the referral!” Naturally, I hit Trulia.com to find out what I would recommend. Here are my picks, and Brett - if you want, I can get you an appointment, I am still a licensed real estate agent in New York

I chose these 5 home in the Tri-State area based on the main issues I could foresee him buying for, of course I took some liberties, but I tried to look at his profile, who he is, where he lived his whole life, family situation, etc. To narrow this down - what are your picks?

1) Proximity to Giants Stadium - Okay here is a winner! 1.9MM, 10 minutes from the stadium, peace and quiet - and has a desireable school district! The Mackenzie school has a 5 star rating, is on the waterfront and was built in 1875. This has Brett Favre written all over it! Brett, What do you think?

2) Great Schools

Funny enough, the East Rutherford school district has a 5 star rating from parents in the district. The average class size is around 19 students, which is awesome! His 9 year old daughter would love it here! So the home above is still a good match!

3) Urban Living

Sorry Rutherford, yes you are near New York City - but you’re not New York City! Taking school ratings into account, neighborhoods, proximity to East. Rutherford, etc. I opted for Gramercy Park or SoHo - in New York City. I think Brett would opt for a Private School - call me crazy. With two tunnels to get to Jersey, I went for smack in the middle of the Holland and Lincoln, although Brett - the Lincoln puts you right next to the stadium - so my pick is the Flatiron District, and this hot new listing:

“A glass-encased triplex penthouse sixty stories high, it’s the crown atop Manhattan’s most luxurious new high-rise. This is the ultimate penthouse in the sky, boasting over 7,500 square feet” Need I say more?

Look at this view:

4) That “Wisconsin” Feel

Farms baby! We got Farms in NY/NJ - so where else but Long Valley, NJ! 80 Acres of land for under $2MM I tried contactingone of our top Trulia Voices,  Deborah Madey from Peninsula First Realty, for some Editorial input but alas Voicemail!  So Deborah, please chime in - Brett is waiting!

“Historical 80 Acre Farm — Morris County, NJ A one of a kind preserved farm (May divide into 2 parcels with future bypass completion) The soils and views are magnificent on this farm, as well as the rural Valley feeling and all within a short distance of NYC”

5) Just Perfect:

Well finally - here is THE one, I think he should buy near the stadium. Great school district, large piece of land - and near training camp! Every week he has to be in Hempstead at Hofstra University for training camp and weekly scrimmages, practice etc. So why not Long Island? Okay, so it is not close to the stadium - but he only has to go there a few times a year - but EVERY week he needs to go to practice! So, the easy winner - Long Island!

$13.5MM - Waterfront

“Waterfront estate situated between Manhattan penthouse apartments and Hamptons Cottages. Quiet oasis finely restored in Gold Coast traditions. This property boasts unobstructed western waterviews, 500′ bulk-headed beach, 190′ deep-water dock. Sweeping lawns, hot and cool greenhouses and more…”

So Brett - I hope this helps you with your move to NYC and the Jets! J-E-T-S JETS! JETS! JETS! Go Gang Green!
