I am Bogdan Nicolae Rus, a licensed New Jersey REALTOR® with eXp Realty (license #2186044). My day-to-day focus is Hudson County, and I also help buyers, sellers and renters in Bergen County.
My search pulls from the Hudson County MLS and Garden State MLS, so it may not show every home on the market in Bergen County. If you spot a home somewhere else, send me the address and I will look into it.

What should you know about Bergen County?
Bergen County still enforces a Sunday blue law, so most retail stores in the county are closed on Sundays, while food and gasoline sales are among the exceptions. Check this first if you are used to shopping on a Sunday.
Bergen County is made up of many small governments: 56 boroughs, nine townships, three cities and two villages. Hackensack is the county seat and the most populous municipality, with 46,030 residents in the 2020 census.
How did Bergen County begin?
Bergen County was founded in 1683 and takes its name from Bergen, one of the earliest settlements in the area, which stood in what is now Hudson County. Hudson County itself was carved out of Bergen County in 1840, so the two counties share a history.
