Welcome to Freehold
Freehold Township was established in 1685 as one of the three original townships in Monmouth County. Today, it is a growing suburban community that attracts many families with a good school system, easy commuting, and first rate services such as an award winning Parks & Recreation Department and a great variety of stores.
The parks include 209 acre Liberty Oak Park, 195 acre Durand Park and Turkey Swamp Park, which offers hiking trails, camping, picnic areas, row boating, canoeing and fishing on a 17 acre lake. Freehold Township is also home to the region's largest shopping mall - Freehold Raceway Mall. Yet the township still maintains a historical feeling with landmarks such as Monmouth Battlefield State Park, site of the Battle of Monmouth in 1778, and the 1800's Oakley Farmhouse with collections that chart regional and state history. There are also, sidewalk cafes, historic tours, summer concerts, parades, Kruise Nite, a spectacular community theater, antique shops, farmer's market, retail stores, public parks, the Andrew Carnegie Library and churches.
Freehold Township is 38.3 square miles with a population of approximately 31,537. The township consists of 5 elementary schools, 2 middle schools and 1 high school with a 20 to 1 student teacher ratio. 
Accepting An Offer >Responding to Low Offers
The beginning of negotiations is usually the end of many months of hard work for the buyer or seller. The work ahead requires skill in order to maintain a strong position.
Sellers can lose their advantage if they do not counter an offer that a buyer has made. Even if the opening offer is beneath what the seller feels is reasonable, it is advisable for the seller to respond with a slight reduction from the asking price. The most important component in negotiating is good communication.
The best way to handle a low offer is to counter it with definite terms that are favorable to the seller. A counter offer has two advantages: 1) it keeps the buyer interested, and 2) it moves the negotiation forward and gives the buyer the opportunity to submit another offer that the seller is more likely to prefer.
