Paul Spigener

"I have worked with Paul for over a decade in the real estate industry. His management skills have provided great benefit, inspiration and motivation for his agents. Paul embodies the highest level of professionalism and ethics and is always in a positive mindset. He is diligent in his efforts to educate and train the agents to make them the best real estate professionals they can be. Personally Paul has kept me on track through business planning and development and has taken my sales to the next level by holding me and my team accountable for our actions. As an unparalleled resource during the sales process Paul's knowledge and experience has provided needed advice that has conquered many challenging transaction situations. Working with him has been a privilege and an honor."

"Once I met Paul I saw that he really cares about his team and goes above and beyond to make sure they have what they need to be successful in the business. He has been integral in my training and development and has always been there for any need that arises. His team meetings are dynamic and he always brings to the table important topics that give us an edge in the industry. I have learned so much under his instruction and by working together I am achieving my goals."
J. A. (Connecticut)

"A good mentor knows how to lead a person down the road to success. A great mentor walks with a person and together they discover a new path previously undiscovered. Paul is a great mentor. He brings so much knowledge, presents opportunities and creates a feeling of belonging. We work on my training and goals together, creating strategies that push limits, but stay within bounds of what is comfortable and achievable. He is a cheerleader and always looks out for my best interest. Most importantly, Paul listens. He understands the environment I need to excel and respects it. As a very driven individual, I am sure I would navigate the waters of this real estate industry and come out on top in the end, but with Paul by my side, I will achieve my goals faster and have the time of my life doing it."
Tricia Farin (Newtown)

"Paul is someone you want in your corner on a tough deal! He brings his best always; a fantastic communicator, he is quick to respond and consistent with follow-up. He brings a positive attitude and energy to encourage us with enthusiasm. Paul assesses each situation with thoughtful fairness and a clear view from all sides. His background and experience in this business serves him well with coming up with "outside of the box" solutions. He has a natural knack for educating, as well as in guiding in a way that instills confidence that we can be successful despite inevitable challenges. We are very fortunate to have him with us here!"

"Pauls guidance, encouragement, advice, and followthrough were amazing throughout the process. He provided solid suggestions while reassuring me that I was doing my job well, and I knew that he had my back at all times. He checked in with me periodically if I hadn't reached out to him, and was always available to pick up if I called with a question or concern. He never made me feel as though I was a bother, and always took the time to really listen and to provide feedback."

"Training was a leading factor for my joining the Raveis team. Paul was the reason I joined Raveis Newtown. I knew from our early recruitment that he was sincere in his desire to build a plan to take my business to the next level. He has delivered on this promise and we meet weekly to ensure the plan stays on track."
Frank Durante (Newtown)

"The kindest-most-understanding-inspirational boss I've ever had. I've learned so much from you."
Michelle Leo (Newtown)

As a new agent, I interview at a few local brokerages. Paul was the only one that was interested in my goals. He explained the level of training that Raveis had to offer, (way more than other real estate offices). Since joining last year there has never been a time when I didn't feel supported. He's not just interested in how he can help but about how I'm doing as a person. He has cultivated a culture where everyone seems willing to help each other. Almost like a "we all rise together" atmosphere. A rare find! Glad I found my happy place!
Mitzi Muller (Newtown)

"Paul Spigener has been wonderful to work with. He certainly is a leader. He is fully dedicated to his team in assisting them in any manner that they need. As agents it is incredibly important to have the confidence that your leader will actually be there for you when you need them.

Dear Paul,

Thank you for stepping up to be the interim manager of our office here in Niantic.

I have to say that you gave me a rare glimpse of insight and depth of understanding of this business rarely seen in this position.

You "get it" - and have made a significant positive impact on my business and great experience with Raveis even in the short time you have been with us.
Edward Hillyer (Niantic)

"I want to thank you for being the best! I knew from the first time I ever met you! You are great at what you do!"
Mitzi Muller (Newtown)

"I've been a Realtor for 18 years. I've always had systems in place for keeping in touch with clients, managing transactions, finding new clients, etc. But recently I haven't been getting the results I want. So I decided to schedule a coaching with Paul to see if he could help me tweak my systems and/or give me ideas for new systems. And he did both! And since we started meeting just a few weeks ago, I've heard from one past client who had completely disappeared, as well as one current client who may be interested in purchasing another property. And I got a listing appointment from floor time. None of those 3 things was a direct result of Paul's coaching. But I do know that sitting down with Paul and getting his help with re-focusing my efforts has sent a message to the cosmos that I'm open to new opportunities. It sounds hokey, but it's true! I'm grateful to Paul for taking the time to work with me on my business."
Ann Gerschefski (New Milford)

"There has been a noticeable and refreshing shift in the New Milford office since spring, and I would like to recognize Paul for the role he has played in fostering this change. His infectious positivity and approachable style have created an atmosphere where people feel supported, while his professionalism and readiness to respond ensure that everything continues to run smoothly. Paul leads with balance, managing effectively without ever being overbearing or controlling, which has not only made the office feel more productive but also a genuinely enjoyable place to work.

I would like to thank Paul and express my appreciation for his ongoing efforts."
Wendy Westcott (New Milford)

"A well deserved thank you to Paul Spigener for all of the hard work you do to run all 3 offices like a well oiled machine and keep us positive and motivated and for giving us the space to grow and lean on each other. We both share a love and gratitude for William Raveis Real Esate in our own ways so as grateful as we are for the company we get to be a part of - I am just as grateful for you and your mentorship these last 6 months."
Brooke Chaves (New Milford)

"Donna and I, really appreciate you. I think the communication and the atmosphere you are creating is second to none.
