Olga (Sakhina) St. Pierre knows all about moving and finding a new place to live.

Imagine packing everything that’s important to you in two suitcases, hoping that it will prepare you for a new, unknown life, 3000 miles away!
Charting Her Life Course
After settling in central New Jersey, the transition was long, difficult and challenging for everyone in Olga’s family. “I respect my parents tremendously for changing their lives for me and my sister and persevering for so many years. That’s why I was determined to do my best in high school and college and succeed professionally and personally,” says Olga.
She attended Trenton State College (which is now The College of New Jersey) in Ewing, NJ, graduating with a Bachelor of Science degree, with a major in International Business and a double minor in French and Economics. “In college, I loved being busy, being involved and being around a couple of thousand smart and dedicated students who constantly challenged me,” says Olga. These four years taught her to be an independent, focused thinker and dedicated student. After graduating college, Olga worked for a benefits and consulting firm in Philadelphia, where she demonstrated her strong work ethic.She became versed in working independently against deadlines, while imprinting her own methods of completing projects, efficiently. This carefully developed approach to tackling all business-related tasks established the foundation for her successful real estate career.”
“Home is where your family and your life are.”
Olga excels at striking a balance in every aspect of her life, believing that life is precious and so are the BEST things in it: family, friends, a loving spouse, a terrific career and hobbies, that renew and revitalize. Olga met her husband, Richard, during their freshman year in college. They are alike and different in many ways but share a common passion for their immediate family which includes daughters Victoria and Elizabeth as well as the bigger military family, of which they are a part. Richard is an Active Duty Member of the New Jersey Army National Guard, stationed in New Jersey. He is as committed to his work as Olga is to hers; devoting a career to fostering protection for his country, its citizens and those he loves. “Rich loves his country and his work,” adds Olga. “The military is our ‘family’, too, absolutely.”
As a family, Olga and Richard’s favorite ways to spend time together is to travel for pleasure, relaxation and learning in the US and abroad. For outdoor recreation, the family often takes bike rides around their neighborhood and likes to barbeque in their backyard. “My heritage and culture are a very important part of my life and my family,” adds Olga. She continues to avidly read in English and Russian and practices French. Olga also enjoys cooking traditional, delicious homemade meals and is teaching her daughters to speak Russian, so they will have the advantage of being bilingual.
