Despite the chaos in the world in 2020, Tim had set a goal for himself and followed through on it. He became a licensed REALTOR® and did very well in the last quarter. People wanted to #ListWithRocco because of his track record for integrity and inge nuity. Sellers and buyers quickly realized the great advantage of having a REALTOR® who could pre pare their house for the market or remodel it after their purchase was complete.

Tim continues to give loyalty discounts to his real estate clients who have him do work pre- or postsale. Because of his connections with suppliers, he is able to purchase products and supplies at his contractor’s rate, and he passes that on to his clients. It is his practice to gift his sellers with the use of one of the three dumpsters he owns and rents out.

Although it required a lot of disciplined training, Tim had earned his black belt in Brazilian jiujitsu years ago. He enjoyed sharing what he had learned about mastering physical and mental skills.

The Rocco family loves to take trips and also enjoys just hanging out together. Tim has been married to his wonderful wife for 17 years. He is incredibly thankful that she always supports his dreams and inspires him to be a better man. She and their oldest daughter help Tim with the marketing aspect of his businesses. The Roccos have four daughters, one son, and have also opened up their home to Tim’s nephew. Tim laughingly shared that they now have one child in each level of education, from elementary school to college.

GEORGE BERDOMAS OPUS ELITE REAL ESTATE
“The Three Rs”
“The Three Rs”
George Berdomas worked in customer service for over a decade, and six of his ten years of service have been with the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection. His own experience of becoming a first-time homebuyer in 2018 propelled him into a career that brings lasting fulfillment as he lives by “the three Rs” of real estate: realistic, responsive, and referrals.

George loves people. He worked two jobs while earning his bachelor’s degree in business administration, and then continued working part-time hours at a restaurant because he enjoyed interacting with customers. He found great fulfillment in delivering top-quality service.

In 2013 he continued working the part-time job he loved while taking on a full-time administrative job with the New Jersey O ce of the Attorney General in the Division of Human Resources. Both jobs helped him learn about prioritization, pressure, and working in specific time frames. He had no idea how well his career experiences were preparing him to step seamlessly into the world of real estate.
He served in the NJ State government for two years and and saved up enough money for a down pay ment on his first house in 2017. George asked his REALTOR® if he enjoyed his real estate career. The agent’s positive feedback sparked George’s interest, and he earned his license in April 2018.

“I am great with people and with technical things, but I am not good at taking tests. It took me four tries to pass the real estate exam,” shared George honestly. “For anyone that has trouble getting through something, I want to o er some encourage ment. Never give up!”

“My mother has always been my number one cheerleader support ing in everything that I do overall,” George said. “She didn’t care what I wanted to become for myself, as long I was happy. It’s the best feeling to know I’m making her proud every day. I am grateful for my brother as well, because he always had my back from day one with everything in life.”

“There are three Rs in real estate,” explained George, “realistic, responsiveness, and referrals If you are not setting realistic expectations with your clients from the beginning, you are set up for failure. Being responsive to your clients shows you will do what it takes to make sure communication is brought to the other agent as well. If you can be realistic and responsive with your clients, then you will receive referrals for the great service you provided to them.”
