With homes in both Connecticut and Colorado, Rose currently serves buyers and sellers in both regions. Having moved so many times herself, she has a firsthand appreciation for the importance of home, a sixth sense for finding the perfect property, and a cognizance for embracing different walks of life.

Rose works closely with her clients to educate them on every facet of the home buying or selling process, so they feel empowered to make the wisest decision for their unique circumstances. When working with buyers she excels at finding properties that suit her clients’ wants and needs, and when working with sellers she relies on her keen eye and precise level of expertise to prepare their homes for the marketplace. She’s extremely knowledgeable in pricing and market trends, and works closely with stagers, transaction coordinators and marketing strategists to ensure no detail goes unnoticed.

Rose is principal of the Black Diamond Team at Compass, which operates in both the Fairfield County, CT area as well as the Front Range/Denver metro area in Colorado. As an expert in both ever-evolving markets, she’s earned several industry designations, including: Certified Negotiation Expert (CNE), Certified Seniors Real Estate Specialist (SRES), and Certified Staging Advocate (RESA-CSA). Rose holds an upstanding reputation in the industry as an avid volunteer, businesswoman and community leader. As a testament to this, the majority of her business comes from referrals and repeat clients who say they appreciate her knowledge, trustworthiness and honesty.

After being raised in Colorado, Rose’s three sons have since settled on the East Coast. In addition to spending time with them, her husband, and their most recent addition to the family, her Bernedoodle pup, Winston, Rose shares a passion for cooking and entertaining. She loves hosting friends and family, and her motto is the more the merrier - there’s always room.
