Louis Spina edited  Terrie O’Connor, President of Terrie O’Connor Realtors is pleased to welcome Louis Spina to The Ridgewood Group. Prior to joining the firm, Lou worked in advertising as an Art Director. He worked for two of the top advertising agencies in the world, Ted Bates and J. Walter Thompson. After gaining a great deal of experience working for these companies, Lou ventured into opening his own concept and design consulting business. For thirty five years he created advertising and promotional material for such companies as: GlaxoWellcome, Citi Bank, Beecham Labs, Hoffman La Roche, Mercedes-Benz, Pfizer, Kyser-Roth and numerous others.

While running his own company, Lou was constantly involved in sales. Calling prospective clients, launching new products, and negotiating fees to work within budgets became second nature to him.

Lou moved to Bergen County in 2004 and became a Trustee of the Bergen Museum, where he volunteered to create the organization’s promotional material. After joining the Pascack Art Association, Lou also volunteered his services for their promotional needs and as editor and designer of the association’s newsletter. Presently, Lou holds the office of President in the organization. Lou also serves as a Trustee of the Art Center of Northern NJ and the American Artist’s Professional League. He enjoys creating promotional material for all of these organizations on a voluntary basis.

With his organizational, communication and interpersonal skills from his previous business, along with his strong management and problem solving skills and eye for design, Lou is a perfect fit for a career in real estate. Lou resides in Washington Township and is extremely knowledgeable about the local area.

Louis Spina looks forward to assisting his clients at Terrie O’Connor Realtors with their real estate needs. He can be reached at the Ridgewood group of TOCR at 201-445-4554 (office), 201-785-4556 or lspina@tocr.com.
