About Sarah
As President of Terrie O’Connor Realtors, Sarah M. Drennan wears many hats—strategist, motivator, coach, occasional magician—and oversees the operations and growth of nine thriving offices and more than 450 sales associates. A licensed Real Estate Broker with a background in public relations and a knack for making things happen, Sarah leads with equal parts vision, drive, and good humor. Before taking the helm, Sarah served as Executive Vice President and previously managed the Allendale office, where she was known for turning potential into performance and coffee into closed deals. Her earlier career included roles as an International Resource Manager at one of the world’s largest PR firms and as a founding partner and VP of Operations at a public relations trade association—where she learned how to diplomatically herd very ambitious cats. Her transition into real estate was as seamless as her negotiation skills, blending experience in marketing, sales, and customer service into a leadership style that’s sharp, supportive, and just unconventional enough to get results. Sarah currently serves on the Board of Directors for the New Jersey Multiple Listing Service and has held multiple committee positions with Greater Bergen Realtors, proving that she doesn't just talk about raising industry standards—she shows up and does the work. Outside the office, Sarah gives back as a board member of The Grace Foundation of Terrie O’Connor Realtors and supports organizations like Covenant House of New Jersey. She’s also a twice-elected Councilwoman for the Borough of Upper Saddle River—because apparently running a company and raising three kids wasn’t quite enough.

They found all the Condo features I was looking for

They found all the Condo features I was looking for

I recently worked with Scott Miller and DeeDee Butwin to purchase my new condo, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. I was looking for a specific type of condo, and they were incredibly patient, showing me multiple properties until we found the perfect fit. They were always responsive—answering every text and email promptly—which made the entire process feel smooth and stress-free. They also coordinated everything from the inspection to the final closing paperwork with meticulous attention to detail. If you are looking for a professional, knowledgeable, and dedicated agent, I highly recommend Scott and DeeDee. They made me feel like their only client and were available and paid attention to every question, even helping me respond to inspection issues. Buying a condo can be overwhelming, but Scott and DeeDee made it manageable and dealt with issues proactively and I never got the chance to feel overwhelmed. I was looking for a unit with a garage and patio, and they truly listened to my preferences rather than just pushing any listing. They pointed out potential issues I would have missed and provided invaluable advice on the condo association’s health. Even when we hit a small snag during the inspection, Scott and DeeDee were pros at problem-solving and kept the deal moving forward. I’m now settling into my dream home and so grateful for their support. Five stars!

Edward Scott Miller helped me sell a Bergen County property on time and for a good price.

Edward Scott Miller and his team member Deedee Butwin represented me very well They understood the local market, researched comparable properties and helped me create a marketing strategy for this property. It was part of an estate and was being sold in as is, where is condition. They identified buyers, received and reviewed multiple offers and recommended a qualified buyer who had the highest offer. Ed and Deedee facilitated the closing process, which was completed timely and without incident. I look forward to working with Ed again on another matter in 2026.

Hello my name is Paul Ivory

Hello my name is Paul Ivory

Hello my name is Paul Ivory.. I served as co-executor to my mother's estate which; of course involved the sale of her house and property. To complete this task I had the good fortune to be able to work with Terrie O'connor realtors and specifically with their representative Sarah Marie Drennan. What immediately strikes you about Sarah is how knowledgable focused and personable she is. From listing to closing everything moved smoothly and speedily. There was never a point in the process where I felt the need to question Sarah's insights and instincts. 24/7 she was available to address any questions or concerns I might have and always left me with the feeling that I was her #1 client. I would feel confident recommending her to friends and family. Sarah thank you for all the time and hard work you put in. I wish you all the best.
