About Me
The mission of A.T. REAL ESTATE SPECIALISTS LLC is to go above and beyond the call of duty with outstanding service towards helping others to achieve their goals. We will always strive to give superior quality of service, a high standard of ethics and professionalism while never sacrificing patience, fine character, perseverance, empathy and the utmost integrity. This will remain our core business element.

I am a licensed Board Certified Real Estate Broker in the State of New York. It is my hope that you will be able to find valuable resources, answers to your questions and even your next home while visiting my website atrealestatespecialists.com.

I would like to take this time to share a little bit about myself. In my opinion, one of the greatest financial decisions that most people make in life revolves around the selling or purchasing of a home. Being a part of this process is something that I take very seriously. However, nothing brings me more joy than seeing those happy faces of my customers and knowing that I was instrumental in achieving their goals. That is what keeps me consistently moving in the right direction and wanting to be the best I can be.

Fondly, I can recall going back to the homes I have sold years later and seeing how families have grown. It brings me great happiness to see the many changes people have done to their homes over the years and how their pride of homeownership shows in those homes. It brings me great satisfaction to admit that I have sold the same house three times over. There is no greater compliment than repeat business and the vast client referral network I have built. Every past customer represents a unique memory for me and I never forget any of them. To this day, I still have the contact information for the first buyer who I sold a home to 25 years ago.

The main reason I started this company was to provide the type of service my clients have come to love. My agents must answer to a high level of professionalism that comes with working here. I take pride in being detail oriented and usually wind up staying in touch with my customer and clients long after they have completed their transactions. Many people have told me that they automatically fall into their comfort zone when we are together. Over the years I have developed many close friendships selling Real Estate on Staten Island.

Staten Island has been my home for the past 35 years. I have three grown children and three very special grand children.
I would like to thank all of my customers for all the fun and adventurous moments we have shared searching for homes. I am looking forward to helping you over and over again

"We would like to thank you for your guidance, patience and knowledge in finding us a home. Back in April we were new to Staten Island, didn't know much about it, and at that time didn't have a car to get around and explore. You were one of the first Realtors we called. You were very professional,knowledgeable and dedicated to finding us the right house and area where we would like to live. You even brought the Sunday newspaper so we could become more familiar with what Staten Island had to offer us. You were always easy to reach and would always return our calls in a timely fashion and answer all our questions with patience and respect. Thanks to you, our living in Staten Island starts with good memories and warm thoughts of caring and professionalism, that we encountered dealing with you. We already have recommended you to our friends who are looking to buy a house in Staten Island. In the future we know who to call for all our Real Estate needs. May GOD Bless you."

"To Whom It May Concern:: I am writing this letter on behalf of Ms. Arlene Trunzo. I have known Ms. Trunzo for seven (7) years, both on a professional level and personal level. During this time we have worked together on real estate transactions. I find her to be very knowledgeable in her field and understanding of her clients' wishes. Because of her knowledge my wife and I used Ms. Trunzo's services when we purchased our house several years ago. Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. Very truly yours,"

"Arlene: I am sending you this e mail to let you know how grateful Gary and I are for your professional and gracious assistance in selling our house last year (2006) 89 Ladd Avenue, Staten Island, New York 10312. June 5, 2006, was our closing date. Your knowledge of the real estate world was a great asset in selling our house. We received a great selling price for our house, and got in under the wire since the housing market was starting to change. You even recommended to us two great attorneys (Jersey House and Staten Island House) which made closing so smooth. My husband and I had lived in our house for 32years this was our first and only house. You made our venture easy. One thing I could say you are reachable 24/7. I would recommend you to my friends and family if and when they need a broker. Continue to do the great work you do."
Linda and Gary Aptaker Mon Jun 5, 2006
"I am writing on behalf of Arlene Trunzo, a person I have known professionally for several years. Please allow this letter to serve as a strong recommendation for her candidacy. As all who have had professional interaction with Arlene will attest, she conducts herself with the highest degree of honestly, fairness and professionalism. I am an attorney with a very active real estate practice concentrated in Staten Island and have had many occasions to work with Arlene as a broker on transactions. In my daily practice I deal with numerous brokers and I am very aware of the importance of a skilled realtor in facilitating the closing process. From listing to showing to closing and all the steps in between, Arlene is always prepared, organized and approachable. She willingly assists other professionals in carrying out their parts of the transaction and is always respectful of her obligations to the client. She is someone a client can put their faith in and as a professional I know I can rely on her expertise. She knows that being a broker is not just about selling a property and collecting a commission. She is a professional who conducts her dealing on the highest level and works to unsure that her clients are treated honestly and fairly and that their experience is positive. She will take the time to assist and counsel newer brokers and her expertise is an asset to the real estate community in Staten Island. From an organizational view, Arlene will be a shining example to others ."

I want to wish you and your family, and your beautiful grand kids a Merry merry Christmas and a Prosperous New Year. Sincerely, Cathy Catherine A. Millares, Pharm.D., CGP Coordinator of Geriatric Pharmacotherapy Department of Pharmacy Kingsbrook Jewish Medical CenterClinical Assistant Professor of Pharmacy Practice Arnold and Marie Schwartz College of Pharmacy Long Island University"

"Dear Arlene: I want to thank you for all your hard work. You made it so easy and comfortable for me to sell my house. I appreciate your diligence in keeping me informed. Your availability to answer my questions, and your sincerity when I needed reassurance, It's no wonder why you are so successful and do such a great job. Best Regards."

Arlene Trunzo, BCREP,CRS,GRI,SRES answered:
Hi John,

I have been living with wetlands near my home for well over 30 years. It seems that in the heat of the summer every night after 7:30 PM the Mosquitoes are out and about. Having woods or marsh & wetands near your home also brings much beauty and tranquilty that is hard to find these days wherever you live. Having woods near you also brings additional spiders which eat other insects. Having woods and marsh behind or in front of where you live also brings brings you beautiful colors in the fall, glistening ice and snow on branches in the winter. ln addition to lots of natural beauty in the spring and summer, you will enjoy the sounds of birds singing and get to learn a bit about what country living has to offer.
I have relatives who live in other boroughs nowhere near wetlands or woods and when I sit on their back deck, I fight off the Mosquitoes in the summer.The peace and tranquility is worth it to me. Everyone is different,if you are thinking about purchasing near wetlands try to weigh out the positive and negative aspects of owning the home and do what you think is right for you.

PS. Make sure you check to see if you are located in a flood zone, you may need to pay an additional cost for flood insurance, due to elevation levels and or underground streams. Good luck with what you decide .

I would take the birds, butterfly's,flowers, critters & trees in a heartbeat as opposed to cars, pollution and noise.
