Robin Gottuso is a Southern California native and has lived in Upland and Claremont her entire life which gives her a personal love and expertise for this area.
Robin has been a Realtor since 1988. It's her commitment to her profession and to her clients that has made her a well respected Realtor in this area. Service to her clients are her #1 priority. You will often hear her say "If we lose sight of who we are working for and why we are working, then we no longer belong in this business". With that in mind, it makes sense that Robin is the recipient of the prestigious Century 21 Pinnacle Award for Excellence in Quality Service for consecutive years.
Robin is an very active member of this community. She and her husband Mario were always active on various school and booster boards while their children were growing up. Now that they are grown and moved on from local schools, Robin has found herself involved with other activities which include community and church organizations.
Robin is the past chair of Claremont's Independence Day Committee which is the largest special event held by the City of Claremont all year and continues to be an active committee member. She also served as Commisioner on the Community and Human Services Commission for 8 years and was the acting Chair for 2 years.
Mario and Robin have been married since 1979. Mario is a Claremont native and retired after 35 years as a School Administrator in 2012. Mario has taught at Cal Poly Pomona and Califorina State University Fullerton part time for 30+ years and now that he has retired, he is doing more teaching and is enjoying a less stressed lifestyle these days!
In Robin's spare time, she enjoys scrapbooking, cooking, outside activities which include sports, gardening, hiking and enjoys traveling as much as she can. She was an avid runner most of her adult life until a few years ago when her hip finally said "no" but she did complete San Diego's Rock & Roll Marathon in June 2002 to raise money for a charity.
Their daughter Nicole graduated from U.C. Santa Barbara with a degree in Creative Writing and Literature and has a Masters of Fine Arts from Vermont College. While attending U.C.S.B. she met her husband Andrew during their freshman year and were married in April 2006. After graduation they worked in Santa Barbara for several years and now live in the Los Angeles area and are enjoying their careers, son Henry and their French Bulldog, Emma.
Their son Justin graduated from U.C. Irvine in 2008 double majoring in Sociology and Religious Studies. Justin is now attending Fuller Theological Seminary in Pasadena and graduated in June 2015 with a Masters of Divinity degree. He is a hospital/hospice Chaplain. We are very excited that Justin was married in June 2013 to Ann Yeh, also a fellow Fuller Seminary who graduated in June 2013 with her PhD program in Clinical Psychology. She is working for Cedars Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.
It's Robin's commitment to the details of her work, community and her desire to put people first that her clients, friends, family and associates continue to appreciate. If you want that personal and hands-on approach to your Real Estate need, with careful attention to the details, call Robin!
