Real stories from families who bought and sold with the Chopper Russo Team.
★★★★★ 5.0 average across 7 client video reviews“We have done four transactions together — you're doing a great job.”
Some of the strongest reviews are the ones clients don't have to give again — but do. Danielle first met the team at an open house and has come back for four transactions since. Loyalty like that says everything.
“I was able to buy the house under asking, which nowadays is almost impossible to do.”
A lifelong Oakland resident, Ryan bought his first home in the borough he grew up in. Working with Geno, he followed a clear, step-by-step roadmap so he always knew where he stood in the process — and closed under asking in a tough market.
“The team was great and very patient, especially Patrick — going to each house with us and listening to our needs.”
After Chopper Russo sold their home quickly, Keith and Christine set out to buy a place to merge their families — in an aggressive, cash-heavy market. Patrick showed them home after home until they found the one, handling the off-market purchase start to finish.
“A lot more access than something we would have probably just skipped right over.”
Kerry and Tommy's home was a short sale with no photos online — so having an agent who could get them inside made all the difference. What could have been an easy pass turned into the right home, handled quickly and smoothly.
“Everyone was very patient in helping us find the one that was right for us.”
Mark and Katie saw plenty of homes before finding the right fit — and the team's patience made the difference. Like many local families, they found the Chopper Russo Team through friends, local advertising, and a familiar face around town.
“Great communication between the agent, the lawyers, and our financial people — they kept us up to date on what to expect.”
Welcoming, honest, and smooth from start to close. These clients pointed to the coordination that held everything together — agent, attorneys, and lenders all in sync — making their purchase feel easy compared to selling their previous home.
“Each house, he told us something different. He was awesome.”
For these first-time buyers, every showing was a learning experience. Whatever home they wanted to see, their agent was there if it was available — turning the search into a real education. They went in knowing nothing and came out confident homeowners.

Frequently Asked Questions
What areas does the Chopper Russo Team serve?
The Chopper Russo Team is based in Oakland, NJ and serves Bergen County and the surrounding northern New Jersey communities. From our office at 392 Ramapo Valley Rd, we help buyers and sellers throughout the region find the right fit for their needs.
Does the team work with first-time home buyers?
Yes. Many of our clients are first-time buyers, and our agents guide them step by step through the entire process — from understanding what to expect at each stage to negotiating an offer. As one first-time buyer shared, a clear roadmap made it easy to know exactly where things stood on the way to closing.
Do you help with both buying and selling?
We do. The team handles both sides of a move, and many clients sell their current home and buy their next one with us in the same transaction — keeping the timing, communication, and coordination between agents, attorneys, and lenders aligned throughout.
Can the team help with off-market or short-sale properties?
Yes. Our agents have experience with off-market and short-sale transactions, including situations where a property has no photos online. Getting clients inside homes they might otherwise pass over is one of the ways we help buyers find opportunities others miss.
How do I get in touch with the Chopper Russo Team?
You can reach the team by phone at (201) 240-5200 or by email at chopper@chopperrussoteam.com. Whether you’re buying your first home, selling, or planning both, we’re happy to talk through your goals.
