A dual U.S.–EU citizen with extensive international experience, Erin Torneo brings a uniquely global sensibility to coastal Connecticut real estate. Her background in design consulting, publishing, and award-winning writing gives her clients a distinct advantage—combining creativity, precision, and a deep understanding of how people live across cultures.

Before transitioning to real estate, Erin built a celebrated career as a New York Times bestselling author, Soros Justice Media Fellow, and New York Foundation for the Arts Fellow. She’s lived and worked in New York, Los Angeles, Ireland, Japan, and Mexico, and now channels that experience into the Connecticut Shoreline. She currently sits on the Old Saybrook Planning Commission, and possesses rare insight into local land use, zoning, and the future development of the region. This technical expertise, paired with her intuitive sense of space and aesthetics, allows her to help clients not only find a home but imagine its fullest potential.

Whether advising on renovations, staging, or market strategy, Erin is known for her design-forward approach, clear communication, and thoughtful, client-centered service.

Based in Essex, Erin proudly serves clients along the Connecticut Shoreline and River Valley, including Old Saybrook, Deep River, Essex, Chester, Lyme, East Lyme, East Haddam, Madison, and Guilford. She is a trusted member of the William Pitt Sotheby's team.
