Kristen Stolfi, Real Estate Professional

I love my job and the people that I have the pleasure of helping with all their real estate needs! What my clients say: "We had an amazing experience with Kristen! She ensured that we got the house we loved, and took care of all the details. We had nothing to worry about, as Kristen was ahead of the game the entire way. She took great care of selling our property, while at the same, made sure the house we bought had everything we needed and a fair deal occurred. We will only use Kristen moving forward, as she is the absolute best!" "Kristen Stolfi is the hardest-working, most engaged, and most effective real estate agent I’ve ever encountered. She never let me down, rolling with the punches and staying steady at the helm. When something needed to be done, she got it done while remaining impeccably civil. Kristen maintains a high moral standard and can always be trusted to do the right thing." "Kristen is amazing at her job! She is on top of everything from start to finish! She went above and beyond what would be expected of any real estate professional! We are grateful we had her representing us in the sale of our home." "Kristen is on top of it, so helpful, willing to go out of her way for you. She even has gone on her own to take pictures of videos to share with me so I didn’t have to make the trip. She’s wonderful, caring, and really listens to what the buyer wants." "She was very professional and efficient answered all questions and if she didn't have an answer she would get it. Had our interest first which was also great."

As the largest co-ed Catholic high school in Connecticut, SJ gives students the opportunity to learn and connect across cultures, religions, and borders in a faith-based community that joyfully welcomes students of all beliefs. Students seek out their talents across academics, athletics, arts, clubs, and service; strive for greatness by expanding their boundaries; and serve the common good by embracing our motto, “With Privilege Comes Responsibility.” Our renowned athletic program builds community, character, and discipline while teaching life lessons that extend far beyond championship banners. Through service initiatives and spiritual formation, students deepen shared values, explore their faith, and uncover a sense of purpose that prepares them for lifelong self-direction.
