Testimonials

My wife and I met Arlene through a mutual friend. Arlene handled the purchase of our home in West Norwalk with such good, professional work and impressed us with her friendly and competent manner. She has been a valuable asset to us ever since as she has introduced us to all kinds of trades people, restaurants, and stores in the area and been a real treasure. Arlene combines local knowledge with kindness and an instinct that meets the needs of her clients. She has become a good friend.
I most heartily recommend her to anyone who wants the best representation a realtor can provide.
Sincerely,
John Corrado

When I decided to sell our family home and move to Rowayton, I knew the perfect person to call...Arlene Bubbico! Arlene was energetic, knowledgeable and pleasantly aggressive in selling our home. She helped me with every detail of the selling process and kept my best interests in mind when the offers came in. After the sale was confirmed, Arlene put her efforts into finding me the perfect new home. Moving can be difficult, but Arlene guided me through the transition with continued support. It's been six years now, and Arlene still checks in several times a year to see how we're doing. Arlene will not only be the best realtor for you, she will become a dear friend in the process.
Sincerely,
Debbie Lionetti

Testimonials

"Nine years ago, my husband and I were first time buyers. We had gone to see several houses with a few different real estate agents. No one really seemed to listen to our "wants" and "needs"...until we found Arlene Bubbico! She was extremely knowledgeable, compassionate, and devoted to helping us find the perfect home. Arlene seamlessly supported us throughout the entire process with her experience and enthusiasm. She made buying a home a delightful experience, and for that, we are deeply grateful. Arlene has remained a dear friend, and we highly recommend her services to anyone who is looking to buy or sell a home."

Passion about what you do and compassion about the people you serve in the same individual are rare in todayrsquo;s business world.

Her integrity and work ethic are inspiring. If you are looking for an agent who will to the absolute best for you and your family, call Arlene."

Testimonial

Irsquo;ve had the pleasure of working with Arlene for 10 years. Upon my return from an international assignment with my Company in 2004, Arlene helped me purchase my first home in Norwalk, CT. I was a first-time home buyer, Arlene was instrumental in helping me navigate the real estate landscape in Connecticut, - I was living in London at the time. She helped me find a wonderful home that worked with my budget and was well suited to my lifestyle. I happen to work in a job that causes me to relocate on a frequent basis and shortly after finding my first dream home, I needed to sell it. Arlene was there for me. She helped me to sell that house. I had to move on fairly short notice and she was phenomenal in working with me to get the best price -I was living 3000 miles away. 5 years later- my Company relocated me back to Connecticut. My immediate reaction was to call Arlene. We had remained in contact and there was no one else I even thought about contacting once I knew that I was coming back to CT. She helped me to find my new ldquo;house of my dreamsrdquo;. My job causes me to relocate frequently. Five years later after finding my house of dreams in CThellip; I needed to sell it. Again, without hesitation, the first person I called was Arlene. My Company has a relocation policy that I needed to get assessments from at least 2 brokers, but I told them that there was no one I would work with other than Arlene and they agreed to that. The real estate market was quite turbulent at the time, but she worked with me and ultimately we were able to sell my home. She was able to help me navigate the market and help me to me to get a very reasonable price for my home.
So my view is that Arlene is not only an amazing real estate agent, but an amazing person and friend. Irsquo;ve recommended Arlene to several colleagues and she has helped them buy and /or sell their homes. Without a doubt, I highly recommend Arlene and if my adventures bring me back to CT, I will be reaching out to her.

Arlene was wonderful to work with. She was always able to meet even when given short notice. She was personable and truly invested in helping us find the perfect home. Arlene was knowledgeable and honest throughout the home search process. Arlene committed her time for over a year to assisting us. We would recommend her without reservation.
Sean and Kathryn McDuffee

"Arlene was fabulous throughout the process of selling my home. She was very thorough in reviewing areas that needed to be addressed prior to the sale and worked with the stager to make sure the house presented well. Arlene is a consummate professional but is also very approachable and warm in her dealings with everyone. She can, however, be direct and assertive when getting the best price for her clients. I am in an apartment for the short term but will definitely use Arlene when I decide to get back in the housing market. I would highly recommend her."
