Rob Gutman joins the Ridgefield Patch to report on local real estate. His contributions will include a monthly market trends report as well as additional stories covering various topics of interest. The experience and knowledge he brings to Patch include several years of selling Fairfield County real estate. He is a full-time professional based at the Keller Williams Realty office on Main Street in Ridgefield.

Rob has been closing deals for more than 20 years and his sales career has taken him (literally) from Wall Street to Main Street. His resume includes a Finance MBA from The Stern School of Business and stops at Salomon Brothers, Hyperion Software and as an entrepreneurial business-owner prior to starting his successful career in real estate.

Rob's focus is listing and selling residential properties throughout Fairfield County including Ridgefield, Redding, Wilton, Danbury, Stamford, Norwalk, Bethel, Newtown and more. Many banks have also hired him to market and sell their REO properties (foreclosures). He is licensed to practice in both Connecticut and New York.

Rob actively writes his real estate blog called Real Estate Chocolate (you'll have to contact him if you want to find out why he chose this name). He encourages all readers to contact him for any reason at rgutman@gmail.com or 203-313-0414.
