History
Weichert, Realtors was founded in 1969 in Chatham, New Jersey by Jim Weichert, who sought out prospective customers by handing out business cards at local train stations to people commuting to New York City. In 1983, Weichert expanded operations outside of New Jersey and opened an office in Pennsylvania. In 1989, the company relocated its headquarters to Morris Plains, New Jersey. Expansion continued through 1991 throughout the northeastern United States. Jim Weichert's son, James Weichert, Jr., became co-president in 2014.
