Profile of Luxury Real Estate Broker Robin Kencel

What do Clients Say?

Robin is absolutely wonderful, and if anyone were looking for a home in the Greenwich area you would do yourself a disservice if you didn’t call her. Here’s some context on our experience. We’ve lived in Manhattan for 2 yrs and have a baby coming so my wife started looking around Zillow (I have an office in Stamford so this area was a natural fit). My wife reached out and an appointment was set up for a Saturday morning at Robin’s office in Greenwich. I was really hesitant, as I felt that I needed to go with someone a friend would recommend rather than a random meeting through a website. That morning Robin pulled out a map and started down the path of educating us before we physically looked at anything. This really is her “backyard”, she’s very involved in the community, know the market/value, the difference neighborhoods/pockets, etc. Even when we found something we liked she would break down all the pros and cons. Meaning, she’s not just trying to sell a home, but really help people match their needs. She loves this community, has been here her whole life, and even restore old homes in the area in her spare time. So we found our home. It was perfect! That night she sent over all the comps for homes sold and on the market to help us find the price we should end at. One problem, there was another couple that was interested and much further along than we were. This was a home that was on the market for only the 2nd time in 6 yrs (built-in 2012 by the builder so we are basically the 2nd owners) and never made it more than 40 days each time. We walked it on a Saturday. She knew the sell-side realtor and immediately put us in the hunt. By Monday we were in escrow. Even the sellers were amazing and my wife and I got to know them well. We worked together on the move in/move out. I will leave out all the little details from here, but I will tell you that I honestly believe without Robin we would not have this home and would have had a very different experience. This is officially our 2nd weekend in the new home and we couldn’t be happier. The only negative is I’m pretty sure any future home buying experiences can only go downhill. Entrepreneur | Buyer

My parent’s home had been on the market for almost two years with some showings, a few bites, but I never felt it was never going to sell. Through a recommendation, we connected and hired Robin Kencel, which made all the difference. Robin was immediately pro-active, had innovative and great ideas as to how to market the house, and it sold and closed in three months. Equally important, Robin was invaluable in expediting several outstanding issues that could have been major obstacles in selling the house. She has a winning combination of competence, sensitivity, and follow through. Robin went above and beyond my expectations of a real estate sales agent. LG Greenwich, CT.

Seller, Chieftans Association, Greenwich CT

I am a Managing Director on the highly competitive Financial Services industry and have bought and sold 4 homes in Greenwich,CT. over the past 20 years and in that process, I have never had the pleasure of working with someone as skilled and professional as Robin Kencel. She is truly at the top of her field in so many of the required and necesary attributes needed to successfully market and sell a home in this town. She is armed with facts and figures to properly and accurately price the home-and that was only the beginning. She is masterful in marketing the property and totally stays on the market pulse, literally 24/7. She is relentless with suggestions and viewpoints--all with the owners benefits as her top priority. I cannot use enough superlatives on Robin's professionalism, integrity, honesty and friendly demeanor. Robin was a delight to deal with and the bottom line is she represented me and my interests to the nth degree.-LM

Seller, Back Country, Greenwich CT

I have purchased, sold and rented 3 houses over the past 10 years so consider myself to be very familiar with the quality of service in the brokerage industry. With this experience, I can truly say that Robin is unquestionably in a class of her own, differentiating herself from the rest of her colleagues. She is a consummate professional, with recommendations based on hard data that is contextualized by a qualitative instinct borne of decades long familiarity with the market dynamics of Greenwich real estate. Most importantly, she genuinely cares about her clients and the outcome of their decisions. She will fight for her clients' rights, as I personally witnessed in an unusual bidding situation. She takes care of every detail to expedite a transaction. She has redefined for me the notion of client service as well as the standards of the realtor profession.-PT

Buyer, Central Greenwich, Greenwich CT

We were new to town and Robin patiently helped us assess the market. She never put any pressure on us to purchase something we weren't 100% sure about. When we found the house that we wanted, she helped us negotiate a great deal. We've been in the house a year, and we just asked Robin for some advice about a planned renovation. We were thrilled with her experience and advice.-RL
