I had an incredible experience working with Tommy Kindergan. He was always available, extremely patient, and really understood what I was looking for. He took the time to learn my preferences and went above and beyond to make sure everything was handled smoothly. I felt supported throughout the entire process. Tommy also had a strong network of professionals to help with every step of the closing. I highly recommend working with him!

Finally, a realtor who was straight forward and honest from the start. He explained the whole selling process thoroughly. There wasn’t a single step of the way where I was caught off guard by anything. Chopper was responsive with every question we had and he was always available. In an age where customer service is dying that was not the situation here. He got me a deal I never dreamed of getting. Honestly can’t say enough good things about Chopper and his WHOLE TEAM!

BEST REALTOR!!! Chopper and Andrew helped me with the purchase of my first home. They have intensive knowledge of the town of Oakland and neighboring communities. They are very trustworthy, honest, and are available via phone and text all the time. They worked tirelessly to find the perfect home with my long list of requirements in a very difficult buyers market. Most realtors would have quit. I will definitely refer all of my friends, family, and co-workers to work with the Chopper Russo team. The Chopper Russo Team is very well known in town and does a lot for the community as well with different events, etc. Thanks again!!

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Andrew, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the experience. From the very beginning, he made the process incredibly smooth and stress-free. Andrew was always quick to respond, whether it was scheduling a meeting or answering our many questions, and his communication made everything flow perfectly.
What truly set Andrew apart was how much he went above and beyond. Not only did he provide excellent real estate guidance, but he also gave us great recommendations for local restaurants and activities, which made settling into the area so much easier. He even invited us to local community gatherings, helping us acclimate and feel welcomed in our new neighborhood.
All in all, this was one of the smoothest real estate processes I’ve ever experienced, and I will 100% be working with Andrew again for any future real estate needs.
If you’re looking for a realtor who is professional, thoughtful, and genuinely cares about his clients, Andrew is your guy!

To say this team is best in class is an understatement. The level of professionalism, attention to detail, customer centric, and caring could not be any better. Selling a family home of over 30 years due to a family matter, they listen, and address all aspects of initial intro through open house and laying out details of what to expect before things happen, provided me a level of comfort to execute what I needed to do timely. Thanks to Chopper, Jenn and all the team. They are the Best.

I had to sell my parents condo in New Jersey (I live in NY) and I found Chopper by looking at reviews. In every review, people were raving about him and his team and now, here I am writing another 5-Star Review for them – because they deserve it!
I met with Chopper in mid-Oct and immediately felt at ease and could rely on him. He knew more about the location and property than I did. Selling my parent’s condo was emotional for me but Chopper and his team made the whole process a breeze. Chopper always texts you back - he’s not one of those agents that are MIA once you sign with them. Also, they provide mini-instructional videos throughout each step of the process so you know what to expect, what’s coming up and what you’ll need to do next. The condo was sold and we had the closing mid-Dec. So fast and I got top dollar! Thanks Chopper! 😊

Andrew from Chopper's team helped me move into a rental property through a complicated moving situation, and I could not imagine a more helpful person throughout the process. They have been attentive, responsive, patient, and kind. They were knowledgeable about the area, the process, and the house, and they were resourceful in finding any info I needed in the case that he didn't know off the top of his head. He also went out of his way to make any transactions seamless and simple. If I could rate higher than 5 stars, I would.

Chopper and his team were awesome from day 1. He explained the whole process and was always just a phone call, text or email away. He works well with other realtors in the area and that made the final transaction much easier. We had a potential buyer that wasn't able to complete the transaction and Chopper soon found another one. His expertise in assessing our property was another great asset. He knows how to get the best price for his clients with out putting out unreasonably high figures to attract a client. That just wastes everyone's time. His experience was valuable in helping us decide what should be fixed up and what wouldn't be worth the bother. For all these reasons I have no reservations using him and his team in the future and highly recommend you give him a chance to sell your property.

As an investor of multi-family property, I would choose no one else to represent me and my family! Thanks Chopper, Patrick, Jen and Emily!

Chopper Russo and his associate Jen did a great in selling my house in Mahwah. It sold in under 10 days with a price over asking. Chopper and Jen are two of the nicest real estate people I've come across in the industry, I've bought and sold several houses in the last 30 years. I highly recommend the Chopper Russo team!

We can’t say it enough about how wonderful it was working with Chopper for the sale of our home. Everything from start to finish was spot on, fast, efficient, readily available anytime, no hassles no pushiness, he really did the impossible with the sale of our home. And he’s a really nice guy to boot!!! I already have people I’m going to send his way. Some one described Chopper as a “machine”. I agree. No one works harder for you than this man!!!!

Chopper and his team did a wonderful job listing and selling our home in Ramapo River Reserve. He provided great advice on pricing the property and we were under contract in 2 weeks at a price much higher than other realtors thought it would sell. He similarly worked extremely hard to get the transaction closed in time for our closing on our new home. Chopper is very knowledgeable about the Bergen County market, practical and responsive. Thanks Chopper!

We stumbled across Jessica by accident, when she went WAY out of her way to help us, when my wife had called a number on a Zillow ad. Over the next year, confronted by the emerging pandemic and the virtual absence of real estate inventory, and facing bidding wars with ridiculous offers from out-of-staters, we were compelled to bid on a handful of homes in different communities, each presenting a different set of concerns. Jessica unfailingly provided valuable insight into each community and home which we looked at. We were impressed with her willingness to visit far-flung places with us and with the breadth of her skills set. She understands construction, real estate, finance, appraisals and bidding strategy. She knows how to listen. She always provided accurate "comps" so we could prepare our bids appropriately. She was never anxious to sell us a home - she was determined to find us a home we would love. She invariably established helpful relationships with the sellers' agents and handled them and us with patience, intelligence and skill. She always puts her clients' interests ahead of her own. We recommend Jessica Bunone without reservation.

The best word to summarize Chopper & his team is professional. When my wife and I started to assess if we wanted to sell, we spoke too many brokers who wanted to us to sign without any time to think. Chopper saw that we had a family to think about and waited for us to be ready. His team was friendly, responsive and courteous. Knowing we were being represented by the best in the industry was a huge relief.

Recently purchased a home with Gene and Chopper, and can't say enough about their expertise and professionalism. Gene went above and beyond to obtain information related to properties, and skillfully handled the offer process. They have working relationships with countless professionals in the area, and are able to help with many needs beyond just the real estate transaction. If you need a realtor in Oakland/surrounding area, go straight to the Chopper Russo team!

As first time home buyers, the Chopper Russo Real Estate Group was nothing short of amazing. They went above and beyond for us until we found our home. Sal was kind, patient, and very knowledgeable about the area and the market. He knew what we were looking for, and found us the perfect house. Our whole buying experience was smooth and easy because of Chopper Russo. We can’t thank them enough!
