Lynn Less of Teri O’Connor Realty group is very professional thorough and creative Has great interactive skills both with myself her fellow colleagues and clients. Her ability facilitating the sale of the house started with an in depth market analysis , different strategies to maximize exposure in order to attract the right buyer and gave great presentation advice. She is very transparent , communicative and quickly responds to texts, emails and calls. She also worked closely with the attorney to seamlessly close the deal in a timely fashion. Works independently but with the support of her Teri O’Connor team when needed for open house days. I have the highest regard for her professionalism and highly grateful for making the emotional experience go smoothly for myself and family

Angela came recommended by a family member, and did NOT disappoint! I thought selling our house would be a long, stressful process, but Angela worked tirelessly to make it as smooth and quick as possible. Throughout the entire process of both buying and selling, you could tell Angela actually cared about **US** -- it wasn't just another sale to her. It felt as if she was helping her own children buy/sell, and that made the process so much better!

Angela was beyond helpful in explaining the process to us as first-time sellers, from the beginning on how to prep to sell through the end of the sale. Had a lot of knowledge about the market and area. Super responsive, and a delight to work with.

I had the pleasure of working with Charles on a recent transaction. He was professional, responsive, and an excellent negotiator throughout the entire process. Charles communicated effectively, stayed on top of every detail, and helped ensure the deal closed efficiently and on time. I would highly recommend working with him and would gladly work with him again in the future
We are about two weeks from moving to our new home, and have Tony and Cristian to give thanks to. They made a difficult process easier with their compassion, understanding and thoroughness with our process. Always helpful, and good snacks on the rides too! Can't wait to begin this new chapter in our lives - Thank you, gentleman!
I had a great experience working with Charles throughout the purchase of my property in Newark, NJ. This transaction had a lot of moving parts between underwriting conditions, negotiations, inspections, occupancy agreements, title coordination, and closing logistics, and Charles stayed engaged and responsive from start to finish. What stood out most was his professionalism, patience, and ability to help keep communication flowing between all parties during stressful moments in the process. He remained accessible, solution-oriented, and genuinely invested in helping get the deal across the finish line. As a buyer, especially in today’s market, having an agent who remains calm under pressure and continues advocating throughout the entire process makes a major difference. I appreciate the work he put in and would definitely recommend him to anyone looking to purchase or sell real estate in New Jersey. Thank you again, Charles.
