Terrie O'Connor, President of Terrie O'Connor Realtors, is proud to announce that Debra Rose-Focazio, better known as Debra Rose has joined the Saddle River branch office of her brokerage.

A long time New Jersey resident, Debra Rose is well known as an accomplished interior designer and design architect.  These skills compliment her chosen field of real estate.  Debra  called upon her considerable travel experience to influence her design style.  She is known for a streamlined approach to design and real estate projects...focusing less on meetings and more on doing.  

Whether beach house, modern farmhouse, contemporary or classic, Debra is equally comfortable in every style.  "I am known for creative floor plans, wall treatments, color work, pattern mixing and accessorizing that suits the individual client and the way they live in the space. I understand the form and function of real estate space." 

At the heart of every transaction and project is Debra's personal committment to a trusting and friendly relationship first.  Her focus is on clear and open communication and never intimidation.  A great design...a great home begins first with a deep understanding of her client's needs, wants and goals.  She sums this up best with her personal quote..." Every space should have an element of surprise and a dash of whimsical magic.  When someone passes through one of my spaces, I want to see a smile cross their face at something unexpected." 

On a personal note, Debra is a lover of family, dogs, art and architecture.  She enjoys the tranquility of a formal garden as well as the excitement of riding her motorcycle.  She shares her time equally between the beautiful Saddle River Valley and the Jersey Shore.  "I am at home in both locales" says Debra.
