Ira Lackey Jr

With over 20 years experience in the greater Princeton market, Ira's hallmark stands as consummate professionalism and transactional companionship for the vast array of clientele he has served. An expert negotiator, an avid sense of design, a distinct aptitude for real estate evaluation combine to position him as a wonderful choice as you consider buying or selling a home.

Having majored in English at Wake Forest University, Ira has broad professional experience given that he first worked in services and sales for an international software concern which provided automated solutions for the property and casualty insurance industry; he also worked in accounting for governmental reporting with a local financial services giant and more recently with a Princeton based architectural firm. As such, Ira has considered elements of 'nest creation' from many angles.

Ira is passionate about community service and currently serves on the board of Housing Initiatives of Princeton -- the combined resource of seven faith based local communities seeking to support the needs of families facing eminent homelessness by providing financial and social services (counseling) to avert the crisis; stabilization in housing has equipped multiple HIP students to graduate from Princeton University. Ira also served many years on the board of Princeton Junior School and his only daughter, Courtland, graduated from Princeton Day School having attended since kindergarten. He also served on the vestry of Trinity Church, Princeton.

Ira joined CHSIR having achieved Silver status the prior year (2014) in NJAR's Circle of Excellence awards designations. At the time, he holds the clear distinction of having achieved the highest recent sales price representing sellers in Brandon Farm's Merchon Chase, Hopewell Township's Princeton Farms and Princeton's Fieldwood Manor. Representing buyers, he's noted for achieving 'best values.' So, when seeking exceptional representation, call one for whom the lion's share of clients have an exceptional real estate experience and conclude the transaction having morphed into lifelong friends.
