Bob had this to say about his work ethic:
My marketing goal is to expose your property with the highest quality representation. I accomplish this goal by using specialized advertising, full color brochures, careful follow-up with agents and buyers, and a diligent effort to you constantly informed.
My job is to assist you in reaching your goal in the least amount of time, with the fewest aggravations! Your advocacy is my number one goal, and that means that you must be delighted with my service and I must deliver beyond your expectations during the process. I love what I do, I work hard and I take great pleasure in providing excellent customer service!
My past customers will tell you that I am always available by phone and return calls within an hour. I believe it is important and I do my best to be present when another agent shows your home. Past customers will also tell you that I earn their trust and that they find it easy to refer me to people they care about.
The agent you choose to "work" your property can make all the difference in the world. It is going that extra mile that makes one Realtor different from another!
A resident of Warren, CT for many years, Bob and his wife Mindy now reside at Woodridge Lake in Goshen, CT. His knowledge of the entire Northwest Corner of Connecticut helps him serve his clients, both buyers and sellers, in the very best way.
Waterfront homes are an area of expertise, specifically lakefront homes, as well as impressive country estates/family compounds.
"My dream has always been to have a weekend home. After an unpleasant experience with a broker in the area, I met Bob Mowen. I did not want to waste his time spending a lot of time looking at homes because I never thought I could find one that met all of my requirements. Bob showed me a handful of very appropriate houses in my price range. His insight into the neighborhood, what a first time weekend owner should be aware of, and being conscious of my price range, were so valuable. When we walked into my house, I knew this was it. Perfection. I am so happy with my house. The entire process was a breeze. I knew Bob was on my side through negotiation and closing. He is not just a broker, he is a friend. I couldn't praise him enough."

"In the Spring of 2006, I bought my house with the help of Bob Mowen. Bob listened to my property needs. He understood what I was looking for in a home and didn't waste any time showing me houses that would not serve my purposes. I felt very comfortable working with Bob, and never felt in any way pressured or rushed. Bob was very thorough and was very careful to address any concerns that I had, regarding location, services and community. He responded to all of my calls almost immediately. Bob was thoroughly professional, yet at the same time, his easy going relaxed manner made him very comfortable to work with. I recommended Bob to a friend, who recently sold her house through him. Bob will also be listing the home of another friend in the near future, and she chose Bob because of all the positive feedback she's heard about him. Bob educated me about the community and made me feel very welcome here. I regard Bob highly as a professional, and I am pleased to say, as a friend."

" We had the great fortune of finding Bob to be our real estate agent when we decided to look for a second (vacation) home at Woodridge Lake (Goshen, CT) We found him to be very knowledgeable of the Connecticut area, dedicated to his job and very helpful with suggestions without ever feeling any pressure from him to make a decision. We always felt that he, as our representative, had our best interests at heart."

"We first met Bob Mowen in a driving rainstorm at an open house he was hosting in Cornwall Bridge. We were immediately impressed by his candor, his humor and his apparent expertise so much that we purchased that house. Through the years, he has proven to be a most unusual and special realty professional. Bob has researched trades people for the reconstruction of our home and been a ready and generous source of information. Most recently, he trudged through the snow with a plumber to check out a problem while we were away. His relationship with his clients does not end with the sale."
Thanks Bob,
Frank and Rose Giambrone,
Cornwall Bridge, CT
"Bob, Thanks again for doing a fantastic job in helping us sell our home last year. In a weak market we knew you couldn't do magic if there were few interested buyers, but this was pretty close to being magical. We appreciated your "ownership" and pro-active approach. Your were ALWAYS present at the showings, and ALWAYS got feedback for us from the potential buyers. You ALWAYS kept in touch with us. It shows us that you cared and was serious about helping us sell our home."
Sincerely,
Kong and Elizabeth Pang,
Litchfield,CT
" I am writing to express my experience with Bob Mowen, whom I used to sell my home in late 2006. My house had been on the market for approximately one year with another agency with little success. Bob was able to bring a valid offer resulting in the sale of my home within weeks of his listing.
I found Bob to be not only an experienced Realtor which showed in his professionalism, but also a talented photographer. He was considerate of my feelings and make suggestions to better market and stage the house. He brought clients in by appointment only, at my request. His professionalism was also present through the negotiation process and through the closing on my home.
I would not hesitate to recommend him as a Realtor at your agency. Bob would most certainly be a great asset to your team."
Sincerely,
Elizabeth Humeston,
