Integrity and extreme discretion are two traits Robin promises clients, who represent a wide range of industries from the worlds of finance, entertainment, sports and more. A Connecticut native and longtime Greenwich resident, she credits her grandfather with teaching her that businesses can and should be run with compassion as well as acumen. Whether guiding a client to find their ideal home, listing a well-loved property for sale or pairing a buyer and seller in a creative way, Robin brings personal warmth and unparalleled analytics to each deal.
It shows in her performance: She’s consistently ranked among the top real estate professionals in the Greenwich market and places in the top 100 agents in Connecticut as well as the top 1.5 percent across the U.S.
Today, she makes her professional home at Compass because it allows her to tailor each campaign to the distinct property she’s handling. You’ll never catch Robin offering an ordinary approach. And she’s willing to tap into her own margins to ensure it, whether it is employing independent public relations professionals, marketing properties in complementary ways, and engaging a search engine-optimization team to help create her bespoke campaigns.
“I like every client to feel like they are my only client,” she says.
Robin’s master’s degree in business administration taught her that every project has a unique goal and a mission. Her command of interior design and historic preservation afford an entirely different advantage when advising buyers and sellers, particularly in the luxury segment.
She serves as chair of the Greenwich Historical Society’s Landmark Recognition Program and is a board member of both Think Greenwich and Friends of Greenwich Harbor. Robin holds a B.A. in philosophy from Georgetown University as well as her MBA from Northwestern University. She’s a six-time United States champion in Pro-Am American Smooth ballroom dance.
While Robin focuses on the Greenwich and lower Fairfield County property markets, she also represents specialty properties in the Berkshires and Manhattan.
