Mary Ryder
Mary is a powerhouse in the New Jersey real estate market, earning the trust and respect of both buyers and sellers throughout her career. Starting her career as a senior financial analyst, then leaving corporate to raise her family, she returned to build her own highly successful business from scratch.
While Nutley is her specialty and home base, her expertise extends well beyond its borders. She has successfully represented thousands of clients across more than forty townships (link to Towns We Cover in separate tab) throughout New Jersey, making her one of the most sought-after agents in the region.
Her vast knowledge of local markets, unwavering dedication to her clients, and proven track record of results have set her apart in a highly competitive industry. Together with her son Michael, she has built a dynamic team that combines experience, strategy, and modern marketing to deliver exceptional outcomes for every client.
Michael Ryder
Watching his mother create a foundation in real estate inspired Mike to join her venture, which naturally evolved into Rubino Ryder.
Prior to real estate, Mike worked as an elementary school teacher and later in law enforcement — experiences that shaped his ability to communicate clearly, build trust, and remain composed in high pressure situations.
Today, Mike combines that people-first mindset with strong technical and analytical skills to help clients make informed decisions. He focuses on the details that drive results – from assessing properties to managing the marketing and preparation of each listing.
His passion for real estate is apparent with his hands-on approach and resiliency when managing all of the details that go into property assessment and evaluation. His collaborative style and knowledge of the market make him a valuable partner to both clients and his team throughout every step of the process.
We believe the Rubino-Ryder team is truly the only reason we were able to close on our dream home without exaggeration. We had to close extremely quickly to get the house (one of the quickest deals they ever did). This team hustled for us and advocated for us like we didn’t know was possible. They were an absolute pleasure to work with- no pressure, no stress! This was our first time buying a house, and they walked us through the entire process, answering every question we had along the way. They went above and beyond in every aspect of the home-buying process.
Their connections were also the best in the business – (home inspector, lawyer, mortgage team). We trusted the Rubino-Ryder team with everything. They took such great care of us, and we could not be happier with our experience with them!

We love Mary! Every time I said let’s put in an offer, she made sure she had a game plan for us and promptly got that offer in. She was able to accommodate our limited availability to view homes, squeezing us in right before her own open houses. We closed in under a month, and our whole house shopping process took under 2 months. From offers, inspectors, to lawyer Mary made this process effortless for us.

5 stars doesn’t do this team justice! I would summarize my experience with Mary and Mike as nothing short of amazing. If you want a realtor who not only can eliminate the stress and difficulty of the home buying or selling process but also work to make sure you are getting exactly what you are looking for, this is your team. I can not stress enough how amazing my home buying process was thanks to Mary and her dedication to my wife and I. I am willing to admit we were probably not the easiest clients they have had, but we never felt like a bother. We also loved that we always were able to contact Mary and Mike no matter the time or day which is something you need in a market that moves as quickly as the current one does. I would and have recommended this team to anyone in the market to buy or sell a home!
