Erin Connelly - Team Lead

My name is Erin Connelly, and I am the very proud Team Leader of The Connelly Team at Coldwell Banker Realty in Madison. I have lived along the CT shoreline for over 25 years and consider it my true home. I live in a 1748 antique Colonial home in the center of Guilford with my husband (Team Member) and three children; Aidan, Shane and Celia.

I have over 20 years of sales, marketing and advertising experience. Since graduating from Oswego State University of New York in 2001, I have worked in advertising sales. After having our first son, I left my career in advertising to help jump start a local construction company with my husband. My husband and I launched Connelly Building & Design, LLC in 2008. I received my real estate license in 2014.

I believe in being a part of your community. Our family attends the local church, our children attend schools in Guilford and owning small businesses, we always support local businesses. Our family gives back to the community, and in return, they know and trust us. Not being originally from CT, I feel I bring a different prospective to the shoreline area. Especially for those moving in from out of state and out of town. I show clients all the places and things that make CT shoreline one of the most beautiful places to live in.

We attribute both our home improvement and real estate success to our focus on customer needs - we listen first to our clients and then work hard every day to deliver the highest quality of products and service. Our team understands how emotional & stressful the purchase or sale of a home can be, and we work hard for our clients through the entire process. I greatly look forward to working with you! Each team member brings their own expertise and experience to the team to make us the only place to go for all your real estate needs. My team and I promise to carry through the same honesty, integrity and hard work when working with our clients in real estate as we have in all the other industries we have worked in.

Providing invaluable insights into home conditions and repair costs, they've guided numerous clients through the intricacies of homeownership. His own journey in real estate began in 2019 when he obtained his license, specializing in the nuances that make a house truly captivating.

Unretired in 2023 to join the Connelly Team with Erin and Ryan at Coldwell Banker Realty I joined the team to help with an increasing volume of business generated by Erin and Ryan. I see many parallels in real estate in comparison to Funeral Service. It can be a very emotional time whether it is leaving a community for a job change or coming to the realization that the family home is too large or too difficult to navigate in.

I really appreciate the opportunity that Erin and Ryan having given me to become part of their dynamic team. My experience in sales and marketing for over 40 years helps me to appreciate the many marketing tools and support of the Coldwell Banker provides. These tools provide an international web of support unparalleled in any industry.
