By SUSAN SCHOENBERGER Special to The Courant
December 13, 2009When David Chzaszcz put his family's four-bedroom Tolland house up for sale in September, he took his real estate agent's advice and listed it at $449,000, even though he was hoping it would sell for a higher price."Our house was listed for, technically, less than a week and a half," Chzaszcz says. "We had eight or nine people come through. ... Four made offers."After a bidding war that drove the price ever higher, the Chzaszczs closed on their house in November for a final sale price of $470,000.If … (0 comments)

#1 Prudential Realtor in Farmington, CT | Rob Giuffria, GMS | Prudential Premier Homes - 12/14/09 12:26 PM
Rob,
Following the closing of our house at 25 Strawfield Rd in Farmington, I wanted to write this note of appreciation and recommendation.
The sale of our house was a critical aspect of our relocation to Texas. Helping us navigate through our relocation package and maximize our benefits was a top priority. Despite a low demand in our price range in Farmington, we were able to get a contract within 60 days.
Throughout the process, I never doubted your ability to close, and in the end, you found the buyer and got it done. From contract signing to closing day, everything … (0 comments)

#1 Prudential Realtor in Tolland, CT | Rob Giuffria, GMS | Prudential Premier Homes - 12/14/09 12:24 PM
Rob, Please feel free to use me a reference related to your superior work. My wife Cidalia and I felt secure in engaging your services right from the first meeting; other agents were friendly and knowledgeable, but none demonstrated the focused approach and drive that you displayed. We weren't looking for a sympathetic ear, we were looking for someone who would "drive" the sale of our home while we relocated 500 miles away. We got what we contracted for! Not only did our house sell in 6 days for above the list price, but your management of the offers, brokers, and … (0 comments)

#1 Voted Prudential Realtor in West Hartford | Rob Giuffria, GMS | Prudential Premier Homes - 12/14/09 12:22 PM
{An email to a prospective listing client.}
"This is my fifth home and I've worked with a different realtor each time. Quite simply, Rob is a superstar, far and away the best I've retained. He knows his craft and he's absolutely dogged -- one example of many, he actually brought potential buyers into the home of folks who had wanted to make an offer on my house but were having trouble getting theirs sold through their own realtor. Rob has also been extremely diligent and helpful with all the details, like getting repair folks in and out of the house, etc., … (0 comments)

Tips for listing houses to get best price - Tolland_Glastonbury, CT | Rob Giuffria, GMS, REALTOR - 12/14/09 12:15 PM

Over the weekend my wife and her brother finally succeeded in selling their late mother's 45-year-old house in Armonk, N.Y., after months on the market starting last summer. The sale price was about $150,000 below its original list price.What a bummer, especially since within a week of the listing a neighbor's adult children had checked the house out a few times, complained about several problems, and ended up offering $75,000 less than the list price. But my brother-in-law was fed up with … (0 comments)

August 22
Dear Rob:
Hope all is well with you. I wanted to take a few minutes to send a quick note of appreciation to you and summarize why I was so pleased with your representation of Stacy I in the sale of our house.
As you know, we had listed our house with a major regional firm here in West Hartford for over 5 months. Despite numerous showings and supposedly terrific feedback on what a great home we had, we were unable to get the house sold. When I came to you to discuss our situation, we were worn down … (0 comments)

Did Justin Timberlake Move to Boring Connecticut? (Farmington, CT) Rob Giuffria, Prudential Premier Homes - 12/14/09 12:08 PM
Thu., Aug. 13, 2009 3:50 PM PDT by Leslie Gornstein
Actually, here's what we know: A real-estate writer for the New York Post reported that Justin Timberlake bought a ridiculously massive estate in Greenwich for $18.7 million. Then some dude connected to the property came out and said that was false.
Of course, celebrities hide behind shell corporations all the time. So if some sort of LLC ends up buying the house, it could just be Timberlake playing hide-and-seek with the press-or it could just be that a nobody rich person with an LLC.
But why would an ice-hot pop star … (0 comments)

Physician Relocates to Devonwood | Prudential Premier Homes - Rob Giuffria, GMS | Farmington - 12/14/09 12:05 PM
Hartford Courant | July 5, 2009
Dr. Shabnam Lainwala knew little about Connecticut when she and her husband, Vijay Murthy, began hunting for homes in June 2008. The neonatologist and her IT-executive spouse were relocating from the Boston area and wanted a community with a cosmopolitan feel, good schools and close proximity to Connecticut Children's Medical Center, where Lainwala, 43, would work.West Hartford seemed a good fit, but the available homes then had small yards, needed too much work or exceeded the couple's $800,000 price cap.Eventually, to their surprise, Lainwala and Murthy, 47, found the right house and neighborhood in Devonwood, … (0 comments)
