When Denise Gannalo, a real estate agent with William Raveis, started selling homes in 1982, it never occurred to her that her career would be like a ride on a rollercoaster. "I've seen it all," she says. "The stock market crash of the late '80s, the down market of the early '90s, the exuberance of the dotcom era, the post 9/11 global economic problems and now the current financial crisis."
Denise has sold hundreds of properties in all price ranges throughout Fairfield County in both up and down markets. She says the key to her success is her ability to adapt to changing market conditions. Her years of looking at houses have turned her into a pro at helping clients visualize ways to remodel or reconfigure a space. And as a real estate investor and property manager herself, she has a thorough knowledge of the rental and investment market in Fairfield County.
A longtime resident of New Canaan, Denise has an encyclopedic knowledge of the neighborhoods and properties in town. She particularly enjoys introducing newcomers to the amenities found in New Canaan. "We have wonderful schools — my children are products of the New Canaan schools," she says. And she loves the town center where you're always guaranteed to bump into someone you know.
Denise thinks of herself as a "high-tech traditionalist." A master of the latest computer technology, which allows her to respond quickly, she is a firm believer in old-fashioned customer service. Whatever the client's needs, Denise says she always tries to go that extra mile, especially when the negotiating gets tough.
It's not all about work, though. "I love to laugh with my clients. I share their hopes and their frustrations," she says. Simply put, Denise Gannalo loves what she does. Apart from her family, real estate is her passion. She works it, lives it and breathes it. Finding that perfect Connecticut property for her clients is Denise's idea of a perfect day at work.
