About Ricky Bonilla
I work one county. Not the tri-state area, not northern New Jersey broadly — Bergen County, its seventy municipalities, and the differences between them that do not show up on a listing sheet.
That focus is deliberate. A buyer moving from Manhattan usually arrives with a budget and a vague sense that they want good schools and a short train. What they need is someone who can tell them that Glen Rock has two stations on two lines, that Tenafly has no station at all, and that those two facts will shape the next ten years of their mornings more than any kitchen will.
How I work
We start with the map, not the listings. Before we see a house I want to know your commute, your school stage, and how much land you actually want to maintain. That conversation usually eliminates half the county, which makes the other half legible.
I will tell you when a house is priced wrong, including when it is mine to sell. I would rather lose a listing than talk you into an offer you regret at the inspection.
For sellers
Pricing in Bergen County is hyper-local — two comparable houses a mile apart can sit in different districts, different tax rates and different buyer pools. I price to the block, market to the buyer who is actually looking there, and tell you honestly what the first two weekends will decide.
