Rosie Branco is an excellent realtor. I’ve worked with her a few times now, and her professionalism has always been top‑notch. Her patience and thoughtful approach bring a sense of calm to both the landlord and the tenant, creating a warm and reassuring experience for everyone involved. She is consistent, reliable, and truly committed to delivering great service every time. I would highly recommend Rosie Branco to anyone.
We are so incredibly grateful we had Heather in our corner for our recent home purchase in Nutley, NJ. Navigating today’s real estate market can feel so overwhelming and stressful, but Heather brought an unmatched level of expert market knowledge to the table! She truly understand local neighborhood dynamics, pricing trends, and exactly what it takes to structure a winning offer in a highly competitive environment. What blew us away the most, though, was her absolute dedication and passion to find what we were looking for. It felt like we were her only clients. Heather was always available and so incredibly responsive—whether it was a text first thing in the morning (even early early mornings) or a late-evening text/phone call to talk through a strategy. She never made me wait or wonder what the next step was. If you want a brilliant, highly strategic agent who will work tirelessly for you and keep you ahead of the game, I cannot recommend Heather highly enough! She’s a fire-cracker that will be on your side of the court from start to finish!

this is the thing that makes it long enough
My realtor, Rashad Moore, was exceptional throughout my entire homebuying experience! From the very beginning, he was an excellent communicator and truly guided me every step of the way. His professionalism, attention to detail, and positive attitude made what could have been a stressful process feel seamless. He was not only my realtor, but also a strong advocate and support system. He answered my questions, and when he didn’t have an immediate answer, he took the time to find the answer and make sure I was fully informed. For many first-time homebuyers, the process can be overwhelming and scary, but Rashad walked me through every step. He educated me, supported me, advocated for me, and worked tirelessly to make sure everything was completed accurately and in a timely manner. What stood out most was that he genuinely worked for me. He never stopped until the process was complete, and I always felt that I had someone in my corner. I would give Rashad 10 stars if I could, but unfortunately, I’m only allowed to give 5! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you’re looking for a realtor who will communicate, educate, advocate, and truly guide you through the homebuying process, I highly recommend Rashad Moore. Thank you for helping make such a major milestone in my life a wonderful experience!

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
