Robin DePaolo
Originally from New England, Robin is not new to the Florida lifestyle. Early on Robin lived in the Celebration and Waterford Lakes area of Orlando before returning home to New Hampshire to raise her young children close to extended family. As the children grew older and after several trips back and forth to Florida, Robin knew it was time to become an official Floridian. In December of 2020, she made her final move to settle in Winter Garden, with her husband Gary, her son and daughter and their two fur babies. She joined the Wartella Home Team in February of 2021, upon receiving her real estate license. Her 27 years of experience in customer and financial services, makes her an ideal real estate agent. Robin loves all things Disney and when not helping her customers or spending time with her family, she can often be found playing in the parks, resorts and more with her bestie Tonya aka “That Crazy Disney Lady” on YouTube. She’s had the honor of helping many of the “Crazy Crew” find their new homes here in central Florida close to the House of Mouse. Whether you are looking to move to the magic or beyond she’d be honored to help you through the buying, selling and relocation processes with her professional & personal experience.
