I am a Southern California native and have lived in the Upland and Claremont area my entire life which gives me a personal love and expertice for this area!
I have been a Realtor since 1987. It's my commitment to my profession and to my clients that has given me the success I have had for so many years. A statement you'll often hear me say: "if you loose sight of who you are working for and why you are working then we no longer belong in this business". I have been the recipient of the prestigious Century 21 Pinnacle Award for Excellence in Quality Service for multiple years now. An award I feel is more important than anything else Century 21 has to give out.
I have always been an active member of my community. My husband Mario and I were always active on various school and booster boards when our children were growing up. Now that they are grown and moved on from local schools, I have found myself involved in other activities which include church and community organizations.
I am the past chair of Claremont's Independence Day Committee which is the largest special event held by the City of Claremont all year and I continues to be an active committee member. I also serve as a Commissioner for the Community and Human Services Commission. I served as Chair of that committee for 2 years.
Mario and I have been married since 1979. Mario is also a local native and has been a School Administrator since 1977 and retired in 2012. He also teaches at Cal Poly Pomona and California State University Fullerton and is enjoying more of that now that he has retired.
In my spare time I enjoy scrapbooking, cooking, outside activities which include sports, gardening, hiking and i enjoy traveling as much as we can. I was always an avid runner until the past few years when the hip finally said no and I completed the Rock and Roll Marathon in San Diego to raise money for a charity.
Our daughter Nicole graduated from UC Santa Barbara in 2004 with a degree in Creative Writing & Literature and holds a Masters of Fine Arts from Vermont College. While attending UCSB she met her husband Andrew during their freshman year and were married in April 2006. After graduation they worked in Santa Barbara for several years and are now living in the West Los Angeles area and are enjoying their careers and their French Bulldog, Emma.
Our son Justin graduated from UC Irvine in 2008 double majoring in Religious Studies and Sociology. He is how a student at Fuller Seminary in Pasadena and will graduate with a Masters of Divinity degree with plans of going into Ministry. Justin will be married in June 2013 to a fellow Fuller Seminary student, Ann.
It's my commitment ot the details of my work, community and my desire to put people first that my clients, friends, family and associates continue to appreciate and I get the most out of. If you want the personal touch and the attention to detail then give me a call!

Robin sold me my first house almost 20 years ago. After I moved to Hawaii, she helped me numerous times to find new tenants when one set left, get the house ready for the transition, and found new, wonderful tenants. There is no one else in Claremont (or California for that matter) that I would have gone to for help with this sale. She completely understood my sentimental attachment and was so kind.

Buyer Rating:
We had a lot of questions being first time home buyers, Robin made us feel special by answering all of our questions and concerns along the whole process of searching to closing. While in the beginning we were casual lookers, Robin did not force us to do anything we were not comfortable with. What was very refreshing was how she had a gentle guiding hand while giving us the straightforward facts. What stood out was her knowledge of the local area. Understanding what was a fair value over others and how our lifestyles would work in various areas over others was crucial and allowed us to be happy homeowners in our new home. We would definitely recommend Robin to anyone looking for a home in the Claremont area.
Seller Rating:
We have used Robin Gottuso as a real estate agent when selling and purchasing of several other properties located throughout Los Angeles and Riverside counties. Robin is very professional and knowledgeable. We will continue to utilize her services whenever we purchase or sell real estate.
This sale involved a historic property located in the heart of Pasadena. Robin services included referrals to vendors experienced with 1950's construction, all of which facilitated the sale of property. Experience selling real estate is vital in this buyers' market in order to obtain the best price and closing escrow without delays.
Selling "historic" real estate is challenging. Robin met that challenge, obtaining a selling price above asking and closing escrow without delays.
Robin is one of those amazingly rare people that possesses all these skills. She brings professionalism and knowledge to table in all sale transactions.
Seller Rating:
Robin was great to work with. We had a unique situation and she handles it with a lot of patience and empathy. She helped to make a very stressful situation much less stressful.
I would give her an even higher score for communication if possible!
Seller Rating:
Robin is a professional. In our case, we sold a vacation home located in Palm Springs which is approximately 75 miles from her office. Notwithstanding, she made multiple trips to the desert to become familiar with the property and the area.
The multiple listing information was comprehensive. Marketing photos were taken and included in the listing and significant time was spent drafting a perfect description of our home. In addition, to utilizing the multiple listing, a personal post appeared on Facebook.
Ultimately, our property sold within a week to buyers who saw the Facebook post. Escrow closed in less than 30 days. The entire process was painless.
Robin possesses a wealth of knowledge concerning real estate transactions. She treated us as if we were her only client and we felt as if we were her #1 priority.
Buyer Rating:
My experience met all my expectations and then some. I find Robin to be reliable,smart and trustworthy and look ditto using her in the future
I have a best friend in Oregon who is a real estate agent so when I was ready to look I called her for advice and she vetted Robin for me. After meeting Robin, I knew it was the right match.

My father had passed away and as the Trustee it was my responsibility to sell the home. I live in Kansas so that was already a hard task being so far away. Robin went above and beyond and made this process as seamless as possible!

Robin Gottuso is an incredible real estate agent! In the last 3 years she has been our agent in 5 real estate transactions. She was our listing agent for sales and represented us in several purchases. The properties were located in several areas of Southern California, including Los Angeles, Pasadena, La Verne, Pomona, and Beaumont.
We wouldn't consider working with anyone else and refer Robin to family and friends.
Robin is professional, competent and diligent. She advised us through every step of each transaction, including establishing property values (after careful market analysis) and making certain all documentation was submitted to escrows and lenders was timely and complete. Robin is a skilled problem solver and solution oriented. Most real transactions encounter occasional obstacles, and her skills are invaluable when closing the deal on terms that are agreeable and appropriate for her clients. Robin has served us well.
Buyer Rating:
Robin is extremely professional and a top notch realtor. She was an excellent negotiator and was able to negotiate an affordable price for us on our dream house, as well as draft a contract that is reasonable for the sellers and protective of us as the buyers. She is organized and efficient with facilitating every aspect of the transaction. She is patient with responding to our many questions as first time home buyers, and provides a variety of options to help us identify the best solution for problems that emerge. She is very attentive to details and helped us as new homeowners identify areas of concern to which we need to attend, but also contextualize items that we do not need to urgently address. She is accessible and approachable, with strong interpersonal skills which facilitates both a positive purchasing experience for us as buyers, as well as in her transactions with the seller. We have been recommending Robin to all of our friends and family members. We were blessed to have the opportunity to work with Robin and Century 21 in this home purchasing process!

Being Christion and knowing Robin was also a Christion made her choice no contest.
We praise the Lord that Robin was our agent!
As our agent Robin was on top of every detail needed to show our home, to have the proper work ready for our signature, to keep us up to date as the sale proceeded, to inform us about the necessary work we needed to do at our home to keep the process of the sale going smoothly, and to enjoy with us the timely closing of our escrow.

We are very happy with Robin Gottuso's services and would definitely recommend her. She has a lot of experience and knowledge about the area where we were searching for our home. Robin listened to our thoughts about what we were looking for in a property and she made some great recommendations to us, as well. We really got the feeling that she stepped into our shoes to help us search for the perfect house. She really did understand what we wanted to find and what was important to our family. Having her help really focused our search. Robin was always very prepared with information on the market and nearby sales which helped us make our decision in whether or not to make an offer. Robin was also flexible with our busy schedules, for which we are very appreciative.

We were in great hands! This was a probate sale, and we didn't know the process. Robin guided us through every step. The house sold very quickly, and closing went smoothly.
Seller Rating:
Ms. Gottuso was very professional in handling the sale of my property. She knew the area and critical aspects for profitable sale. She went over and above to obtain the necessary signatures on all documents. She understood the nature of each document and tracked all details of the sale promptly and accurately. She was extremely trustworthy and dependable. I did not have to concern myself with the safety of my asset or obtaining the best possible return. If I have any other sales in the future, she would certainly be the first person I would contact.
I did not have to concern myself with the details of the sales or offers received. They understood what I wanted and did their best to accommodate my wishes.
She was as concerned for my property and the reutrns I could make as if it were her own.
They have been in business for a number of years and are completely trustworthy and reliable.
