    Mick's background in marketing, advertising, graphic design, professonial photography and IT translates to a big step up over what most provide in both print and internet marketing when selling homes. Mick's understands how to intergrate all facets of technology to serve both buyers and sellers. Sellers enjoy full featured marketing websites that markets and presents their homes to the world that few competitors can equal. Buyers save tons of time and don't miss homes they'd consider because Mick creates a free account that sends listings right to their emails as they become available. He is available to clients 7 days a week by email, text, or by telephone and is proud to provide service at an unprecedented level. Its a service committment shared by each of the Page Taft Team members.

    Just read a few of the many testimonials. If you won't sing our praises after the transaction and tell friends and family about us, the team has failed. Referrals are the life's blood of of our success.

    I love scuba diving, sailing, photo journalism, travel, soaring, and helicopters (which I hope to get a license to fly before I check out of this life), and more than anything else, my wife (and Real Estate Assistant), my grandchildren and wonderful daughters and their husbands who brought them in to my life.

    Gigi is a lifelong resident of the CT shoreline and simply loves this area of the country. After college she began pursuing a career in finance but didn't have enough interaction with people. Although teaching was considered she preferred a career where meeting new people was primary. She worked various food service and hospitality jobs out of the CT area for 12 years, but a career in Real Estate back home where her roots were was always on her mind. She returned home to Clinton, became a REALTOR® and has never looked back. It simply suits her and she has found it to be the most fun and fulfilling.

    Her principles of business are simple: To provide service on a level that I would want from anyone I do business with. After a few years of solo service she is now part of the Page Taft Team which is group of 3 experienced, full-time dedicated agents. Along with with Page Taft Team agents Mick and Tina, Gigi is available, returns phone calls promptly, is technology savvy, and very customer service oriented.

    Gigi realizes that her business is not based on any single sale, but on a history of sales where clients recommend her to others based on the job she did for them. She loves living on the CT shoreline. It has plenty to offer everyone. Her many personal interests include but are not limited to kayaking, golfing, fishing, cycling and running. During the spring, summer and fall months there are always a number of club rides or road races happening in the area she participates in. She finds it exciting to be an agent in this area and she brings her enthusiasm to both sellers and buyers.

    In my 25 year career as a corporate educator and management consultant my role has been to improve my client company’s position in business, assist their staff to grow professionally, and to help them clarify and identify meaningful goals. I have had the pleasure of traveling extensively while teaching individuals from all walks of life in many different topics ranging from ethics, diversity and inclusion, management style, and leadership skills. I have found this experience and the skills acquired to be invaluable to my career as a REALTOR®.
     
    My family settled in Essex over 100 years ago and many know our name.  I attended George Washington University in Washington, DC where I remained for 25 years.  In 2002 I returned to Connecticut and am now living in the home I grew up in – an 18th Century Antique house my parents moved into in 1946. 
     
    Being a REALTOR® in Essex is especially enjoyable since it is the town I grew up in and the shoreline holds many fond memories from my high school years. I look forward to working with you and can offer a great deal in the way of personal service, integrity, skill and area knowledge.

    Dale started his career as an Air Force Officer – he joined the Air Force to see the world and ended up spending his entire four years at Westover AFB, Chicopee Falls, MA – a twenty minute drive from his alma mater, the University of Massachusetts! He held a number of jobs after that in quality control, quality assurance, purchasing and sales.  In 1988 he decided to take the entrepreneurial plunge and started his own business called Fox Ridge Services, Inc – a technical recruiting firm specializing in placing software and hardware engineers. He ran this business successfully for over twenty years and then took early retirement.

     

    Dale spent a year renovating his Old Lyme home and when he finally finished and had nothing left to do it took exactly two days for him to realize that retirement was not for him. With a lifelong interest in real estate and two successful real estate investment transactions under his belt, the new career was obvious. He obtained his real estate license in record time and completed three sales transactions in his first six months in the business. Dale is a very high energy person and a welcome addition to River to Shore.

     

    Dale has lived in Old Lyme for two years, Guilford for eighteen years and Killingworth for twelve years – he knows the shoreline well – a Massachusetts transplant who loves Connecticut and particularly Old Lyme.  He enjoys spending quality time with Joy, his fiancée. Other interests include cycling, gardening, photography and the shooting sports. A personal goal for 2010 is a 100 mile ride on his new Synapse carbon fiber bike.
