Testimonials Tell a Story

"I cannot recommend Renia Marini enough as a realtor. She spent nearly a year with my wife and I in helping us find the house of our dreams. She was incredibly patient, as we had very specific qualities we were looking for in the house, neighborhood, town, etc. We traveled all over Northern Fairfield County with Renia, dragging along our 6-18 months old son along the way! She never complained, never shied away from our mission. She was helpful, always worked in our interests and was incredibly informative on everything from townsewer costs to whether a basement could be refinished. When we found our house, she worked with us from the initial offer all the way to closing. In fact, she sat with us in front of the house as we waited to get the call back from the bank that we were good to move in. That's how dedicated she is as a realtor. If you are buying a house and looking for a realtor who will partner with you--Renia Marini is who you should hire. You will not regret it!" Gabriel P.

"I would highly recommend Renia. In my recent sale and purchase, I enjoyed her 24/7 responsiveness, genuine concern, honesty and integrity. She was always available to view homes on short notice. She welcomed discussing options and alternatives and gave very sound advice. She was attentive, protective, comprehensive all while keeping a very positive attitude even when things can get a bit stressful. Her finance background is certainly another benefit. It was evident that she was protecting our interests with analytics she easily interpreted for our benefit. You will be very happy with your decision to work with Renia in the most important transaction of buying/selling a home." Gerard G.

"I can not speak highly enough about Renia Marini. She was an absolute professional. She took her time with me, I was never rushed at any point in the buying process. She took me on many outings to view various properties over several months. She held my hand throughout the offer stage and throughout the closing on the sale. She was happy to answer any question I had with the utmost honestly. She was responsive and went above an beyond for me. I've worked with several agents buying and selling properties throughout my lifetime, and I have never felt as though my best interest was a priority, Renia renewed my faith in realtors. I would give her the highest recommendation possible. Anyone working with her would be in the best possible hands." Diana L.

"Renia is an excellent real estate professional. She is exceedingly thoughtful, nd has exacting attention to detail. She works hard to ensure your comfort in purchasing a home, and puts her clients' interests above her own. We were very pleased with her work and encourage others to work with her without any reservation." Robert S.

"Renia is an outstanding real estate professional. She is proactive, knowledgeable and focused on client's needs. Renia listened to our requirements and introduced us to several properties that challenged our original thoughts; one of which was the home we selected. Her initiative was most appreciated. My wife I highly recommend Renia for both buyers and sellers." B. Jones

Personal Background

I am proud to be a lifelong resident of Connecticut, but not foreign to moving, having resided in Waterbury, Stamford, Trumbull and finally calling Newtown home. I just completed downsizing - so I am personally accustomed to moving. After graduating from the University of Connecticut with a degree in Finance, I worked as a real estate, probate and litigation paralegal for over 10 years in Waterbury and Greenwich. Having a deeper understanding of the legal process, my knowledge and experience will help answer questions in simple terms to my clients and guide them through the purchase, sale or rental procedure.

My husband, Angelo and his family owned Monica's Restaurant in Stamford. Our joke is that we fell in love over lasagna. After selling Monica's Restaurant, my husband and I owned and operated "What's Cooking?" in Fairfield for 10 years and then opened Sal e Pepe Contemporary Italian Bistro on South Main Street in Newtown in 2005 which has won many CT Magazine Awards. We feel blessed to be embraced by the communities we serve. Helping my husband with his businesses fortified my natural personality to be of service and strengthened my marketing and sales skills. In addition, I worked with Transitional Employment Unlimited, Inc. (TEU), assisting to bridge the unemployment gap for persons with disability and promoting State hiring incentive programs to Connecticut employers. This position bolstered my sales skills as well as my low key ability to connect with people. However, I enjoyed being a real estate paralegal and felt a calling. While others read or watch TV, I will search homes for my relaxation. I am thrilled to put all my experience, knowledge and skills together and work for you in something I ltruly love to do. I am a natural helper who likes to make certain my clients understand each step of the process and protect my clients' real estate investment.

I happily reside in Newtown with my husband, sons and pets. Besides spending time with my family, my joys and passions also include horse-back riding, Cape Cod, the beach, swimming, hiking, traveling and playing the piano.

I look forward to serving you.
