Trompeter Real Estate

What Trompeter Real Estate does

Trompeter Real Estate is a boutique residential real estate brokerage founded in 2014 and headquartered at 355 Varick Street in Downtown Jersey City, New Jersey. The firm operates under the strategic affiliation of SERHANT as its parent/operating brand and serves individual buyers and sellers of residential properties — primarily condominiums and single-family homes — across Hudson County and Central New Jersey, with a stated footprint covering Downtown Jersey City, Hoboken, Jersey City Heights, Weehawken, Journal Square, Paulus Hook, Bayonne, Newport, Van Vorst Park, Hamilton Park, and The Village.

The firm's core product is its consumer-facing platform at trompeterrealestate.com, built on the BoomTown ROI real estate technology stack with integrated MLS search, lead capture, property management, and marketing automation. Listings are distributed across five Multiple Listing Services — Hudson County MLS, New Jersey MLS, Garden State MLS, Monmouth-Ocean MLS, and Central Jersey MLS — giving the firm statewide listing exposure. A dedicated sub-brand, Trompeter New Development, addresses pre-construction and new-development sales as an adjacent vertical, and the firm produces neighborhood guides, blog content segmented by buyer/seller/agent/Hudson County topics, and social media marketing to drive top-of-funnel demand.

Revenue is generated entirely through traditional real estate brokerage commissions on closed transactions, with a typical 5–6% commission split between listing and buyer's agent on residential sales. The go-to-market motion is sales-led and agent-driven, with a small team of agents (the firm reports 11–50 employees) executing personalized representation across buyer and seller mandates. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and varies by transaction value, property type, and representation agreement; all commissions are transaction-based with no recurring or subscription revenue component.
