Terrie O'Connor, President of Terrie O'Connor Realtors, is pleased to announce that Crystal has joined the Ridgewood office.

Born and raised in Queens, New York, Crystal Rogers spent more than 30 years in the flooring industry, supervising customer service departments. Since her teenage years, she dreamed of entering the world of real estate, but put this dream on hold to finish raising her four children. 

After spending years feeding the homeless in Times Square, Crystal wondered how anyone could be without a home. As her youngest child prepared to graduate high school in 2020, Crystal began studying for her New Jersey real estate license. Now, her goal as an agent is to help as many people as possible obtain the American dream of home ownership. 

Crystal and her family moved to New Jersey in 2015. In her spare time she enjoys creating inspirational t- shirts, recording herself reading children's stories to post on Youtube, watching noir films and writing.

Crystal can be reached through the Ridgewood office at 201- 445-4554 or on her cell at 201-916-7186, as well as by email at crogers@tocr.com.
