Some things are better together. And The Judy & Rosie Team just proved it — again!

This October 2026, Judy and Rosie have officially reached the commission cap at Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Green Team. From this moment forward, every deal they close pays out at 100%. No splits. Pure profit. Exactly what the grind is for.

What makes this milestone different is the dynamic behind it. Two professionals, one shared vision, and a track record built on the kind of partnership that clients feel the moment they walk through the door. Real estate is hard enough on its own. Doing it at this level, together, says everything about who they are and how they operate.

🌱 What the Cap Means at BHGRE Green Team

Reaching the cap at BHGRE Green Team is not handed out. It is the result of volume, consistency, and the trust of clients who come back and send others. For a team like Judy and Rosie, it also reflects the power of collaboration — two perspectives, one unified approach, and results that speak for themselves.

💬 A Message From Geoffrey Green

Geoffrey Green, Broker and Founder of Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Green Team, shared his thoughts:

“Judy and Rosie represent something special on this team. Their partnership is built on real trust, real experience, and a genuine commitment to the people they work with. Reaching the cap together makes this moment even more meaningful. It is a reflection of everything they have put into this business.”

Congratulations, Judy & Rosie! 💚 Two is a team. This cap belongs to both of you.

Another milestone to celebrate at Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Green Team: Nicole McCormick has officially capped in September 2026! From this point forward, every commission she earns is 100% hers, no splits, no deductions. It is the kind of result that comes from sustained, disciplined work over time.

Nicole has built her business on trust. Whether she is helping a buyer navigate a competitive offer or guiding a seller through pricing and negotiations, she brings the same level of preparation and care to every transaction. That reputation does not happen by chance, it is earned one client at a time.

🌱 What Reaching the Cap Really Means

At BHGRE Green Team, the cap is not just a number. It is the point where an agent’s track record starts to speak for itself. Getting here means showing up consistently, closing deals the right way, and earning the kind of trust that keeps a business growing year after year. For Nicole, this milestone reflects exactly that kind of steady, client-focused work.

Meet Joe Lehr, Joining BHGRE Green Team at the Ringwood Office

Some people find their way into real estate gradually. Joe Lehr got a three-week severance package and made a decision.

After more than two decades in logistics and supply chain sales, operations, and leadership, Joe had been through three companies in three years due to acquisitions and layoffs. He was done letting circumstances dictate his path.

“I was ready to create my own destiny,” he says. “Real estate was something I had an interest in. The last company I was with gave me a three-week severance package. I went to real estate school during those three weeks and nine years later it’s the best decision I could have made.”

Nine years in. Five as a broker. Joe Lehr is not a new agent finding his footing. He is a seasoned professional bringing a full career’s worth of knowledge to a new home at BHGRE Green Team.

27 Years in Ringwood and Counting

Joe has lived in the Cupsaw Lake area of Ringwood for 27 years. He grew up in Ramsey, NJ. His wife Rachel grew up in Northern Westchester County. When they found Ringwood, the lakes and parks sealed the deal and they never left.

They loved it so much they put two additions on their home.

Both of their sons went through the Ringwood School District and graduated from Lakeland Regional High School. His older son Ethan, 23, graduated from the University of Tampa and is now a police officer in St. Petersburg, FL. His younger son Justin, 19, works at Ringwood State Park and for Ski Barn while pursuing a future as a commercial airline pilot.

Joe has coached youth soccer and baseball in Ringwood, volunteered on various boards and committees, and currently serves on the Ringwood Economic Development Commission. He is not just someone who lives here. He is someone who has invested in this community for nearly three decades.

When buyers ask what Ringwood is actually like to live in, Joe has a better answer than almost anyone.

A Career Built on Business and Negotiation

Before real estate, Joe spent over 20 years in logistics and supply chain, working across sales, operations, and leadership. That background gave him something that translates directly into real estate: sharp business acumen, serious negotiation skills, and the ability to stay focused under pressure.

He holds a BS in Marketing and Management from Siena College.

Today he services Ringwood, West Milford, and Ramsey, NJ, with reach across Passaic, Bergen, Morris, and Sussex Counties. He knows this market well, having worked it for nine years, and brings a level of transactional fluency that only comes with time in the field.

Why BHGRE Green Team

Joe had not interviewed elsewhere. After a phone conversation with Geoff Green, he did not need to.

“After my initial phone conversation with Geoff Green I could feel there was something special and different about the Green Team,” he says. “In our follow-up meetings his passion for his business and desire for the agents to succeed shined through. I knew I was meant to be here.”

That kind of clarity is rare, and it says as much about the Green Team culture as it does about Joe’s instincts.

Outside of Work

Joe is an avid hiker and runner who spends as much time as possible in the state parks of Northern NJ. He is also a dedicated supporter of live music, regularly seeking out new artists and local shows whenever he can.

“Like real estate,” he says, “it takes a lot of grit and resilience to be a successful musician.” He respects the craft, and shows up for it.

Connect With Joe

Joe Lehr is based at the BHGRE Green Team Ringwood office, serving buyers and sellers across Passaic, Bergen, Morris, and Sussex Counties in New Jersey.

Meet Brandon Bonham, BHGRE Green Team’s Vernon Office Agent

Brandon Bonham has never had to learn this area. He grew up here.

A lifelong Sussex County resident who spent his early years in Wantage before settling in Vernon four years ago, Brandon has worked the Vernon Valley real estate market for all three years of his career. He knows the trails, the neighborhoods, the lakes, and the community the way only someone raised here can.

Now he is bringing that local fluency and a natural talent for connecting with people to BHGRE Green Team at the Vernon office.

Rooted in Sussex County

Brandon grew up in Wantage, NJ and has lived in Vernon for the past four years. His family is in the area, his work is in the area, and the outdoor spaces he loves most, the trails, the parks, the golf courses, are all right here.

That is not a coincidence. It is a choice he makes every day by staying.

For buyers relocating to Sussex County or sellers who have spent years in this market, Brandon is the kind of agent who already knows the answer before the question gets asked. He has spent his entire life in this corner of New Jersey and three years specifically helping people buy and sell property within it.

From Customer Service to Real Estate

Before real estate, Brandon worked in customer service at a local golf resort, an experience that shaped how he approaches every client interaction. He learned to read what people need, make them feel at ease, and turn what could be a stressful experience into an enjoyable one.

“I have always enjoyed meeting new people,” he says. “I enjoy helping people and making their experience fun and exciting.”

That instinct carries directly into real estate, where the ability to listen, communicate, and keep clients calm and informed through a complex process is what separates good agents from great ones.

His personal experience as a share owner of an investment property also gave him a firsthand look at what it feels like to be on the buyer side of the table. It made an impression.

“I really enjoyed the experience,” he says. “It definitely inspired me to want to help people have the same experience when they purchase property.”

Outside of Work

When Brandon is not working, he is usually outdoors. He plays golf, hikes the local trails, and gets out to concerts whenever he can. The natural beauty of the Vernon Valley is not just a selling point he mentions to clients. It is something he genuinely seeks out on his own time.

He also has two dogs, so he understands the “is there room to run?” question better than most.

Connect With Brandon

Brandon Bonham is based at the BHGRE Green Team Vernon office, serving buyers and sellers across Sussex County, NJ and the surrounding region.

Meet Bryan Perusini, BHGRE Green Team’s Newest Agent at the Warwick Office

Bryan Perusini spent ten years inside the financial engine of property management. As a financial controller overseeing the back office for roughly 4,000 residential units, he managed a team, handled client communications at every level, and functioned as an in-house banker for the properties under his watch. He knows how residential real estate works from the inside out, not just on paper.

Now he is channeling that knowledge into something he has wanted to do for a long time: helping people buy and sell homes.

Bryan joins BHGRE Green Team at the Warwick office, bringing a combination of financial expertise, landlord experience, and a genuine desire to guide clients through one of the biggest decisions of their lives.

A Lifelong Connection to This Area

Bryan has lived in the Pomona, NY area his whole life. He knows Rockland County and the surrounding Hudson Valley region the way only a lifetime of living somewhere can teach you. When clients ask him about the area, he is not reciting talking points. He is sharing what he has seen and experienced personally over decades of living here.

That familiarity with the local landscape is something buyers and sellers value, and it is something Bryan offers from the start.

Ten Years of Property Management Finance

Before real estate sales, Bryan spent a decade as a financial controller in property management, overseeing the back office for approximately 4,000 residential units. He led a small team, managed day-to-day client communications with both residents and board members, and developed a deep working knowledge of how residential properties are financed, operated, and maintained.

“This job also essentially made me an in-house banker,” he says, “which expanded my financial and residential property knowledge considerably.”

Add to that five years of owning and renting out a multi-family home in Dumont, NJ, and a father with a background in real estate, and the picture becomes clear. Bryan is not coming into this field cold. He is arriving with a foundation that most agents spend years trying to build.

He holds a bachelor’s degree from Dominican College of Blauvelt and is currently working through Financial Planning coursework to continue expanding his financial literacy.

Why Real Estate, and Why Now

For a while, the idea of moving from property management into sales had been sitting in the back of Bryan’s mind.

“The idea of helping people buy or sell homes, especially first time home buyers, sounds special to me,” he says. “Being able to help people find their forever home was something I’ve had in my mind for quite some time.”

The decision to act on it came together naturally. Driving past the Green Team office one day, something clicked.

“I only interviewed with the Green Team,” he says. “Driving past the office just spoke to me, and I’m happy we were able to make this become reality.”

Why Green Team

Bryan was drawn in by the team culture and by Geoffrey’s approach to building agents up rather than just putting them to work.

“The office team first vibes and Geoffrey’s business mindset made the Green Team very appealing,” he says. “BHG and the Green Team specifically have an approach to help agents grow. I’m happy this team took a chance on me and I’m looking forward to being a valuable player.”

At BHGRE Green Team, that is exactly the kind of agent we want: someone with real experience, a long-term mindset, and a genuine excitement about the work ahead.

Outside of Work

On weekends you will find Bryan watching football, browsing car shows, or planning his next trip somewhere new. He also enjoys reading, going to the movies, and, by his own admission, petting every dog he sees.

Connect With Bryan

Bryan Perusini is based at the BHGRE Green Team Warwick office, serving buyers and sellers across Orange County, NY and Rockland County, NY.

Meet Jackie Torres, a Warwick Native Joining the BHGRE Green Team

There are agents who learn about a market, and then there are agents who have lived it their entire lives. Jackie Torres is the latter.

Jacqueline “Jackie” Torres was born, raised, and educated in Warwick, NY. She attended school here, grew up in this community, and has spent her whole life building relationships with the people and places that make this area what it is. When Jackie helps a client find a home in Warwick, she is not pulling from a database. She is drawing from a lifetime of knowing this town firsthand.

She is now bringing that knowledge, along with a strong accounting background and a personal experience with buying a home, to a new career in real estate as part of the BHGRE Green Team at the Warwick office.

Warwick, From the Inside Out

Ask Jackie what she loves about Warwick and the answer comes easy.

“I have lived in Warwick, NY my entire life and have always considered this community my home,” she says. “Growing up here has given me a great understanding and appreciation for the local community, neighborhoods, and what makes this area such a special place to live.”

That depth of connection is rare, even among local agents. Jackie knows the trails, the neighborhoods, the school districts, the seasonal rhythms, and the people. She knows which streets feel like home and why. For buyers relocating to the Hudson Valley or Orange County looking for the right fit, that kind of local fluency is exactly what you want in an agent.

A Background in Numbers and People

Jackie currently works in accounting at an office in Middletown, NY and has spent years in her family’s restaurant, Country Dream in Warwick, a business that has shaped her understanding of service, community, and what it means to show up consistently for the people around you.

Her education backs the analytical side of her work. She holds an associate’s degree from SUNY Orange, a bachelor’s degree from SUNY New Paltz, and a master’s degree in accounting. She understands the financial mechanics behind a real estate transaction, including mortgages, equity, and the numbers on a closing disclosure, in a way that many agents simply do not. For clients who want to understand what they are signing, Jackie can break it down.

Why Real Estate

Jackie’s path to real estate started with her own experience as a buyer.

“Going through the process gave me a better understanding of how important it is to have someone knowledgeable, trustworthy, and supportive by your side during such a major decision,” she says.

That experience changed her perspective on what real estate actually is. It is not just paperwork and showings. It is one of the biggest decisions a person will make, and the quality of guidance they receive along the way matters enormously.

“Real estate is about more than just buying and selling homes,” she says. “It is about building relationships, understanding people’s goals, and helping them make confident decisions.”

For Jackie, helping someone find a home in the community she has always loved is not just a career move. It is personal.

Outside of Work

When Jackie is not working, she is usually outdoors. Gardening, kayaking, hiking the local trails and lakes around Warwick. She stays active and connected to the natural landscape that draws so many people to this part of New York.

Those hobbies are not incidental. They reinforce what she already knows: the outdoors, the trails, the lakes, and the open space here are a genuine draw for buyers, and Jackie can speak to all of it with enthusiasm that is completely authentic.
