About Arlene:

About Arlene Thank you for visiting. I am a Board certified Real Estate professional located in Staten Island New York.  I would like to take this time to share a little bit about myself. In my opinion, one of the greatest financial decisions that most people make in life revolves around the selling or purchasing of a home. Being a part of this process is something that I take very seriously. However, nothing brings me more joy than seeing those happy faces of my customers and knowing that I was instrumental in achieving their goals. That is what keeps me consistently moving in the right direction and wanting to be the best I can be. Fondly, I can recall going back to the homes I have sold years later and seeing how families have grown.  It brings me great happiness to see the many changes people have done to their homes over the years and how their pride of homeownership shows in those homes.  It brings me great satisfaction to admit that I have sold the same house three times over.  There is no greater compliment than repeat business and the vast client referral network I have built. Every past customer represents a unique memory for me and I never forget any of them. To this day, I still have the contact information for the first buyer who I sold a home to 25 years ago. The main reason I started this company was to provide the type of service my clients have come to love. My agents must answer to a high level of professionalism that comes with working here. I take pride in being detail oriented and usually wind up staying in touch with my customer and clients long after they have completed their transactions.  Many people have told me that they automatically fall into their comfort zone when we are together. Over the years I have developed many close friendships selling Real Estate on Staten Island.   Staten Island has been my home for the past 35 years. I have three grown children, a very special grandson and two more (twins) on the way. I would like to thank all of my customers for all the fun and adventurous moments we have shared searching for homes.  I am looking forward to helping you over and over again.

Testimonials

To Arlene Trunzo,

from Ossslyn & Zdenka,
We would like to thank you for your guidance, patience and knowledge in finding us a home. Back in April we were new to Staten Island, didn't know much about it, and at that time didn't have a car to get around and explore.  You were one of the first Realtors we called.  You were very professional,knowledgeable and dedicated to finding us the right house and area where we would like to live.  You even brought the Sunday newspaper so we could become more familiar with what Staten Island had to offer us.  You were always easy to reach and would always return our calls in a timely fashion and answer all our questions with patience and respect.
Thanks to you, our living in Staten Island starts with good memories and warm thoughts of caring and professionalism, that we encountered dealing with you.  We already have recommended you to our friends who are looking to buy a house in Staten Island.  In the future we know who to call for all our Real Estate needs. May GOD Bless you.

 

Arlene,
 
I was so happy to get your new business card. Congradulations on your new company, best wishes for lots of listings and sales. You are the best Realtor.
     I do hope you remember us; you helped my mom sell her house on Armstrong Ave. Then you sold her another place on Lisa Lane, then she listed it with you and you were instrumental in finalizing that sale.  Now she is with us on Rolling Hill Green.
     Frank and I took a ride to North Carolina in Oct. we feel in love with it and plan to move in 4 yrs when he retires.
      Best of luck!!!!!!   Dorothy La Donna

 

Dear Arlene:

I want to thank you for all your hard work.  You made it so easy and comfortable for me to sell my house.  I appreciate your diligence in keeping me informed.  Your availability to answer my questions, and your sincerity when I needed reassurance, It's no wonder why you are so successful and do such a great job.  Best Regards.

Claire Wren

 

Arlene,

We can't say thank you enough for helping up sell our house so fast.  You are truly a LADY.  Because of your outstanding salesmanship and compassion you made a difficult task easy.  Your friendship also means a lot to us.  I have enclosed a picture of our house.  It is everything and more than we have hoped for.

Love, Stan & Flo

 

Dear Arlene,

I just wanted to send you a note, along with the flowers, to let you know how much all your effort is appreciated. Before you, we worked with many different real estate agents. It was clear that no one matched the effort you put into your work.   Not only were you right on top of every hot new listing, but you were also attentive to our needs with respect to price, neighborhoods, schools, etc.  You never pushed a house just to make a sale.  Thank you again and know that we would definitely recommend you to friends and family looking to purchase or sell a home.  Take good care!

This letter is long overdue.  Arlene Trunzo was the agent on the sale of my home.  She worked so hard on this sale - answering my every phone call and practically held my hand through the whole process. Since I just lost my husband in Jan. of this year, I needed guidance. It was my first time selling we lived in our home for almost 50 years, so I was new to all that a sale entails.  Arlene Trunzo came through with flying colors.  She is a great asset to the Real Estate Industry. Arlene was very kind and compassionate. I thank her from the bottom of my heart.

Sincerely,

Majorie Omholt

 

Dear Arlene,

We would like to thank you for all your hard work and patience,  Looking for a home can be very difficult and very stressful but your kind words and professionalism helped us find the home we were looking for.  We are very happy in our new home and have you to thank for that.  We will certainly  recommend you to our friends and family!

Andrea & Richard Nelson

 

Arlene,

Thank you for everything!  We appreciate all you efforts and hard work with the purchase of our new home.  You are a true professional in the real estate business.  We wish you continued success in all that you do.

Best Regards,

Michael and Luciano

 

Dear Arlene,
 

Thank you so much for all that you have done in selling our house.  Words can't express our appreciation and gratitude.

Our new home would not be possible if it weren't for you.  I still can't believe all of the effort you invested in the sale of our house.  You worked night and day, weekdays and weekends.  When we were ready to give up, you gave up hope.  You did everything possible to sell our home.  I wish you were down here.  I don't know too many people who are as caring and honest as you are.

Thank you again for all that you have done.  I wish you every happiness and success.  You deserve it.

Love,

Marianne and Donald Conkling

Dear Arlene, I can't thank you enough for your efforts in trying to find a professional office for my son-in law. He has just consummated a contract for sale for an office of a retiring colleague that meets all of his requirements. As I expected your efforts were just great and I was very gratified that my recommendation of you in his search for his needs were met with tremendous satisfaction. Working with you in the past as a Home Builder for over 50 years, and now again in the present has reaffirmed my trust in you as a true professional. Thank you again.

RE: Arlene Trunzo

 

Dear Sir/Madam:

I am writing on behalf of Arlene Trunzo, a person I have known professionally for several years. Please allow this letter to serve as a strong recommendation for her candidacy. As all who have had professional interaction with Arlene will attest, she will be an asset to your program as she conducts herself with the highest degree of honestly, fairness and professionalism.

I am an attorney with a very active real estate practice concentrated in Staten Island and have had many occasions to work with Arlene as a broker on transactions. In my daily practice I deal with numerous brokers and I am very aware of the importance of a skilled realtor in facilitating the closing process. From listing to showing to closing and all the steps in between, Arlene is always prepared, organized and approachable. She willingly assists other professionals in carrying out their parts of the transaction and is always respectful of her obligations to the client. She is someone a client can put their faith in and as a professional I know I can rely on her expertise. She knows that being a broker is not just about selling a property and collecting a commission. She is a professional who conducts her dealing on the highest level and works to unsure that her clients are treated honestly and fairly and that their experience is positive.

I believe Arlene will be an asset to your program. She has shown a willingness to continue upgrading her professional education and serves as an example to other brokers. She will take the time to assist and counsel newer brokers and her expertise is an asset to the real estate community in Staten Island. From an organizational view, Arlene will be a shining example to others that your certification process is a meaning tool. Her selection will show that your certification is not only an educational tool but most importantly that it is a recognition that only the finest brokers who exhibit the highest degree of professionalism will be selected to join your prestigious organization.

Very Truly Yours,
