If you want to become a standout agent in Connecticut real estate, appearing on House Hunters is one way to do it. 

For Rose Robles, it was just one milestone in her journey to earning name recognition in the industry. A client recommended her for an appearance on the HGTV show, and since then, her career has been on an upward trajectory.

But real estate wasn't always Robles's destination. With a bachelor's degree in English, a career in data analytics, nine years of service in the U.S. Coast Guard, and community work with nonprofits around New Haven, her path to real estate was anything but conventional. Her time with Columbus House, a nonprofit focused on housing security, sparked her interest. At a nonprofit conference, she heard a local broker speak and felt inspired to pursue real estate to make a tangible difference.

Robles began her career by hosting open houses and building an organic network of clients and vendors. Today, she focuses on business-to-business connections, constantly expanding her base and leveraging her network to help as many people as possible. She credits her success to consistent exposure through advertising and marketing, including signage and social media, and making meaningful connections wherever she can.

Her hard work paid off early—she sold her first house just three months into her career and has consistently grown her numbers since. Robles aims to sell three properties per month—thirty-six per year—and build a team to expand her reach across Connecticut. She takes pride in her hands-on, fearless approach to challenges. One of her guiding mottos, "I don't want to know what I'm getting into, I just want to get into it," reflects her drive and adaptability as a rising star in the industry.

Outside of work, Robles stays grounded by connecting with her community and embracing her passions. Born in New York and raised in Puerto Rico, she has made Connecticut her home. She enjoys exploring new restaurants, participating in a New Haven book club, and pursuing hobbies like rock climbing and gardening. Most recently, she's developed a passion for basketball, particularly attending women's UConn Huskies games.

With her relentless drive, community focus, and commitment to growth, Robles continues to make her mark in Connecticut real estate.
