Debra DeSena was named Associate of the Month for the Ridgewood office, a Marron Gildea & Donohue spokesperson announced today.

"Debra has had a very positive impact on our office," said Aloysius Donohue, a partner with the firm. "She is an extremely serious and professional agent but at the same time Debra enjoys her work so much that she always looks like she is having fun. This type of attitude is contagious and it is why both her clients and colleagues enjoy spending time with Debra."

Debra is a Bergen County native, and currently lives in Ridgewood with her husband and two children, who both attend Somerville Elementary School. Prior to entering the real estate business, Debra worked for a prestigious Manhattan Law Firm. She feels that having worked on real estate deals in both a legal and a sales capacity gives her a unique perspective and an advantage in today's competitive marketplace. Debra is very active in community events and spends a lot of time volunteering at Somerville School. Her family is also very involved in various sports programs here in Ridgewood where her husband volunteers as a little league coach.

DeSena seems to be very proud of the fact the she earned the prestigious Associate of the Month award within a few months of joining the firm. She says she was a bit intimidated her first day because everyone at Marron Gildea & Donohue seemed to be so technology oriented. "I knew I was a good agent before I joined Marron Gildea & Donohue but the training here has really enabled me to kick my business up to another level - or two," says DeSena. She says some of the newer agents have helped her with technology and she has returned the favor by sharing advice and tips on negotiating and making sales presentations.

DeSena Earns Marron Gildea & Donohue Agent of the Month Award

Nancy DeFeo joined Marron Gildea & Donohue's rapidly expanding Ridgewood office, a company spokesperson announced today.

"I am thrilled that Nancy decided to join our Ridgewood office," said Aloysius Donohue, a managing partner at the firm. "Nancy works hard and she understands the business but her greatest attributes are probably her thorough knowledge of the town of Ridgewood and her incredible networking skills. Nancy is an excellent match for the environment and culture here at Marron Gildea & Donohue and we expect big things from her."

DeFeo is an eleven-year resident of Ridgewood. She has years of successful real estate experience in Northern New Jersey working both in sales and office administration.

Having lived in several Ridgewood neighborhoods gives Nancy a unique perspective that she shares freely with her customers. In addition, raising her family in Ridgewood, with her two oldest sons graduating Ridgewood High School and her youngest currently at Ridge, gives Nancy personal knowledge of the Ridgewood school system that is so important to prospective buyers.

DeFeo enjoys the low key environment at Marron Gildea & Donohue. She says the other agents and management are extremely supportive and positive but they are never over-bearing and they never pressure her. "When I was working at another firm I would read these stories about Marron Gildea & Donohue being like a family and wonder if that was really how it was or if that was just creative spin," says DeFeo. "Now that I am here I see that it truly is a family environment where information flows freely between agents and management and everyone supports one another - like a family."

Marron Gildea & Donohue is a full-service real estate firm with offices in Ridgewood, Saddle River and Ho Ho Kus.
