Terrie O'Connor, President of Terrie O'Connor Realtors is pleased to welcome Richard S. Babitts to the Saddle River office. Richard has been a resident of Bergen County his entire life, and a Real Estate Sales Associate for the past five years. He is  very familiar with what the communities in the area have to offer - top notch schools, beautiful parks, and recreational programs, while being in close proximity to New York City, beaches, and the mountains. Richard decided on pursuing a career in real estate because of his love to help people when they are making one of their largest investments of their lives. “I want to make sure I find the perfect home for the best price while making my clients feel comfortable in their new home and community. Making a real estate purchase can be very difficult and stressful and I want to ensure my clients feel completely confident that I will endeavor to make the entire process go as smoothly as possible.”

Richard currently lives in Ramsey, NJ. He is married with three children. He has spent many years coaching his own children as well as many other children in the Ramsey community. Besides coaching recreation sports in town, Richard was also a High School wrestling coach for 25 years and spent 13 years as the Head Wrestling Coach at Northern Highlands Regional High School in Allendale, NJ. Richard is the Therapeutic Recreation coordinator for the Bergen County Special Services school district teaching Outdoor Education, Physical Education, Health and Driver Education to special needs students. 

If you are looking to sell, purchase, rent or simply downsize you will need someone who will advertise your home, show to prospective buyers, negotiate the purchase, arrange financing, oversee inspections, handle all the necessary paperwork and supervise the closing. “I can take care of everything you need, from start to close”, says Richard.
