Meet The Team

RuthAnne Salvatore understands change.  Through her years of experience in the Danbury Real Estate Market, RuthAnne has worked with many people who face downsizing for a number of reasons, including:

• A change in employment
• Retirement
• The sale of the family home that's been in the family for generations
• Becoming an empty-nester
• And other reasons

Helping you make the transition

RuthAnne believes that downsizing doesn't have to be viewed as a burden.  On the contrary, she said, it can be a blessing.  By reducing the responsibilities of owning and maintaining a home, you can actually begin to enjoy life on a whole new level.  A simpler life that focuses on what really matters.

"A house is a structure. A home embraces the hearts of the people who live within it. As we work together, your needs, desires and time, become my priorities," said RuthAnne

The client/agent relationship is one of trust

RuthAnne guides her clients through a transitional period in their life by helping them take inventory of what matters most to them as a Connecticut homeowner.  From there, RuthAnne helps homeowners prepare for putting their Danbury home on the market.

But helping to sell their Danbury home isn't the only service RuthAnne provides to her clients.  She also offers referrals to a variety of service providers, including those skilled in:

• home staging
• clutter cleaning
• handyman services
• And more!

"The process is about you. My job is to assist you at every point along the way, and give you solid information so you can make good, informed decisions," said RuthAnne.
