I chose Prudential Connecticut Realty for several reasons. The managers are non-competing but have years of practical experience and are able to offer sound advice. The company always has its agents in mind with every decision and management looks to us for ideas and suggestions. The educational opportunities we are offered are second to none and the cutting-edge technology set us apart in the marketplace. The company has strong core values and an unquestionable vision about what it takes to be the best. And since Prudential is the number one real estate company in why not align yourself with the best. I am glad that I made the switch to Prudential and I know that I made the right decision.

 

Prudential Connecticut Realty re-energizied me and gave me the tools and the enthusiasm that were unavailable to me elsewhere. Through mentoring, directional and leadership skills I was rejuvenated and genuinely excited about my career. Prudential continues to provide me the tools to create new business and maintain ongoing relationships with prior clients. There is a synergy between their philosophy and my own that is a perfect match and has allowed my business to continue to flourish.

Making the move to Prudential Connecticut Realty was the greatest choice I have made for my Real Estate career. Being with Prudential and having access to training and the newest technologies, all these essentials, has brought me much success. But while these essentials are important, they are still not the greatest thing that I have found here. Above all I enjoy being with a company with powerful core values -- that truly stands behind its agents. I am glad I made the switch, and will be here for many years to come.

 

As a new agent I look for certain qualities in the company that I choose to associate myself with. I am very pleased with my move to Prudential Connecticut Realty. I came from Century 21 Today where I did not receive the support, education and leadership a new agent needs to make it. To me the most important part of my growth as a Realtor is the opportunity for learning, support and a sense of belonging. At Prudential our leader Sue makes herself available to all agents, provides extra in house training sessions and always starts every sales meeting with the company’s Core Values, Growth, Relationships, Authenticity, Empowerment, Service and Compassion. This says it all! This office has a team spirit that I appreciate. I see it in the on-going efforts of our agents in raising money for The Sunshine Kids, a organization that is very near and dear to my heart. I have been welcomed and made to feel at home here.

I became a real estate agent nearly two years ago and joined H Pearce real estate in Branford. I went there because a fellow classmate and former first Selectman in the town of Orange, Mitch Goldblatt, convinced me to. I knew several people in the office and quickly took to the industry and developed a real love of selling residential real estate. I took as many classes as I could and developed my technological skills as best I could at a small organization. But something was missing and I grew frustrated with the short sightedness of management. I grew concerned with my future in an organization that had seemed to have lost its way. I had three managers in 18 months! So, I decided to go interview with other organizations and immediately new that Carol Anne Pepe and Prudential Connecticut Realty was the place to go because of the professionalism, experience and management skills. I knew upon meeting Carol Anne Pepe that she was a decision maker. She is hands on and always available. She gets to know your strengths and weaknesses. She is no pushover. I need a manager with that type of style. One who is capable of developing and shaping my talents. Besides my manager, I was drawn to the organization by the professionalism and knowledge of the people I met at the company. I am very pleased with my decision to join this organization and intend to make it a profitable, long-lasting relationship.

I have been very happy with my move to Prudential Connecticut Realty. The caring support that you and the company have shown has enabled me to get established quickly. The website is excellent and has many user-friendly features and is much easier to use than my former company’s site. The training classes are very informative and I appreciate not having to do them on-line! The interaction and sharing of ideas in the classes is very motivating. I have learned a lot since I've come to Prudential. I look forward to working with you and the company for many years to come. I was with the same leadership group for more than 15 years and have been very pleased that I have joined you and your company. Thank you for the opportunity.

Although I have had a license to practice real estate for the past several years, and have been with both small boutique and large corporate agencies, I have found none better than Prudential Connecticut Realty. I knew this the first time I entered the Waterford office and was greeted by agents and staff. My interview with Ms. Nucera was positive and very real. The reason has everything to do with Prudential Connecticut's Core Values.  Prudential's Core Values are the same core values that I embraced in my previous career as a professional nurse for 35 years. And that was demonstrated before I I even became aware of the corporation's Core Values. I strongly believe that Prudential Connecticut Realty is not only on the leading edge but leads the industry in Connecticut.  From education to marketing to service, the Prudential Core Values place the Prudential agent in the best position.

I recently came back to Prudential after spending a year at another company. There are two primary reasons I made the choice to return. First, is the spirit of teamwork throughout the office and the value that comes from being part of a group that has a large market share. The company more vibrant and social and everyone shares the spirit that we succeed best when we succeed together. Second is the leadership. Because our manager is not an active agent, I feel completely comfortable discussing any aspect of an ongoing listing or transaction with him knowing that there is no conflict of interest or jeopardy of doing a disservice to my clients by revealing confidential information. His advice is based on real experience and his solutions are always fair. This is a great place to work!

I was hired by Rich Muttick in February of 2008. I have to say after a brief interview and an impressive tour of the office and staff, I felt right at home. I had the pleasure of working with several agents Rich already recruited and was sold on what they had to tell me about the office and Rich in general. He has created a pleasant, comfortable and professional environment that I felt honored to join. I especially feel the support and interest in my personal success that was lacking in my last office. With the tools Prudential provides for me, and Rich’s leadership, I believe I will thrive as a Realtor and be around for a long time. I have been a Realtor for nearly five years and in sales for 20 years prior to that and I have to say that Rich is by far the best manager I have worked with. He leads by example and practices a very important motto that I also believe in, which is, “do what you say you will do.” It is very simple thing, but you wouldn’t believe how many people can’t live up to that. I look forward to many years of success with Rich and Prudential Connecticut Realty.

It’s been just a few months since I joined Prudential Connecticut Realty after leaving The Corcoran Group, and I continue to be amazed by Chris and the company. I had always believed that Corcoran was a truly world-class firm, with amazing people, marketing and technology. But, from our first discussion through our meeting yesterday, Prudential has, time and again, proven to be a huge notch above my Corcoran experience. There are so many reasons for this, but the salient one is Chris! I write this with utmost sincerity. I’ve never worked with a leader who champions her people and company so enthusiastically, confidently and competently. You keep an amazingly intense schedule, yet never seem too busy to help with any issues. Your energy is contagious, and your heart is enormous. Thank you, Chris, for epitomizing what it is to be a leader. I feel lucky to be part of your team, and know that my sentiment is shared throughout our office.

Both Chris Simmers and Prudential Connecticut Realty have met my highest expectations. I've been industry for nearly 30 years, having worked previously for Raveis, Merrill Lynch, Coldwell Banker and Sotheby’s and I like it best here. Chris is a remarkable leader and the quality of Prudential is outstanding.

The value of the business building seminar is immeasurable. Robin delivers valuable information that allows me to not only be more comfortable with my clients, but also say the right things to put my client at ease. There are so many agents that I am competing with on a daily basis so it is very important to set myself apart from other Realtors. The tools I am provided with every Thursday evening help me progressively grow my business in today's market. Thank you Robin for all of your knowledge!

My husband Jerry and I have recently become part of the Prudential team. I can say with complete honesty that Chris Simmers is by far the best manager that we have EVER had and we have been with three other real estate companies in our career. She is so sweet and helpful that she makes it a pleasure to be with Prudential. I’ve never seen a manager give so much of their time and energy to help every agent in the office. We’ve never had that before and it’s really nice. Chris is very on board with what is happening in our industry and encourages her agents to do the same and to stay involved with the local Board. She is hands on with community projects as well as The Sunshine Kids organization. We have also been very impressed with the way things are run in our office as well as the education and all the programs that are available to us here. We have never had that before either. The Prudential website offers so much to both its clients and its agents. In fact, there are some features available on the company’s website that I could only get through my contact management software before, which may eliminate my need for it and save me money. The regularity and availability of classes and other opportunities is terrific. Chris is never too busy to answer a question or help me to make the best use of these features. The rest of the staff in the office is incredibly supportive and there is plenty of equipment. If there is a problem, someone takes care of it right away. Chris has great people skills and knows how to show her appreciation of people. Jerry and I can’t imagine anyone wanting to leave her. We are very pleased to be here and feel we will be able to grow our business even more.

Bob and I both agree that moving to Prudential has been the best business decision we've made. In the five years prior to our move, we experienced four managers. Chris Simmers, our fifth manager, is by far the best. She is the most professional and knowledgeable leader in the industry. Chris is a great mentor and she is always available when you need her, regardless of how busy she is. Chris is a great communicator and motivator, which is especially important in the current market. We are also thrilled with the technology and education Prudential offers. Prudential is fortunate to have Chris as a representative. She keeps us informed and encourages us to take advantage of all the educational opportunities the company offers. We believe we are the most informed and trained agents in the business. Chris has created a very congenial, positive atmosphere and we are so pleased to be a part of her team.
