Testimonials

100% satisfied. Professional , respectful. Will use them always

John & June Dineen

I would like to take a moment to say that Alan T. O'Doherty is by far the best real estate broker I have ever used. He is smart, calm, reliable, professional, trustworthy and made the sometimes grueling process of selling a property seamless and fun. I sincerely could not recommend Alan more.

Jennifer Krobot

Alan was a delight to work with. He stayed in touch with us and answered any questions or conncerns we had. He provided us with sound advice as we navigated the negotiations for our new home. He helped resolve several issues involving repairs and the closing. Alan came to us as a result of handling the sale of my son's house, which had a very positive outcome.

Harold & Janice Newman

Alan O'Doherty is a fantastic Broker. He was recommended to me by a Sotheby's Realtor in Colorado, so clearly he has an excellent network (in real estate and skiing)!! Right from the start he guided me through the buying process, showed me a great selection of appropriate properties and negotiated a substantial price reduction, despite being in a "seller's market." If you are buying or selling a property in New York or Connecticut you should reach out to him. I will certainly be calling Alan to list my home in the future!

A. Thomas

I cannot say enough great things about Alan O'Doherty and William Pitt/Julia B. Fee Sotheby's. Alan was there every step of the way from start to finish. Alan helped narrow our search down, gave us great advice on the quality and value of each home so we could make a truly educated decision. When it came time to purchase the home, Alan helped navigate and negotiate on our behalf to get the best price possible. He provided us a list of home inspectors, lawyers and surveyors and made trips to the house on his own when we could not to make sure every inspection got completed on time. Without Alan I do not know how we could have navigated this. Thank you Alan and thank you William Pitt/Julia B. Fee Sotheby's for a great experience!

Justin & Samatha Scagnelli

Very good. I will recommend to my friends.

Hasumati & Prabhakar Patel

Very smooth transaction. Alan was great

Brian & Stephanie Kubisek

Alan is a consummate professional - his experience through a previous career as an Attorney benefitted us greatly during the negotiation process whilst selling our property. AND he achieved a sale price much higher than our expectation with a creative marketing campaign. He is attentive, approachable and knowledgable. If you are selling your home, you NEED him....Simple as that!

Alma Homes LLC

Working with Alan O'Doherty was an absolute pleasure. He's an excellent listener and always showed me properties that addressed my needs. Alan is patient, considerate and open and honest in his guidance. Highly recommend!

Gregory Moore

Alan was really great to work with. He kept us calm, got us the information we needed, and helped us navigate through the roller coaster of emotions that is real estate buying. Bravo.

Khue Van Hoang

I don’t know much about William Pitt, but our agent, Alan O’Doherty is the best! He helped us sell our home after we had already moved out of state. I can’t tell you how many days he was at our house checking in on it, and making arrangements to get furniture sold, and the house cleared out prior to closing. We would have been unable to sell this home without him, and likely with any less of an agent. I recommend him with the upmost sincerity, and will always be appreciative for the work he has done on our behalf!

Elevation Vacation Properties LLC

I cannot say enough good things about working with Alan. He is both friendly and professional in his dealings. He was able to sell my home for over the asking price and remained poised and proactive through many challenging twists and turns during the process. This, I believe is a true test of a credible professional. Someone who cannot just manage the deals that go smoothly, but someone who can manage those that are complex, from start to end. I wouldn’t hesitate to work with Alan again in the future, and I'd highly recommend him to any prospective buyer or seller currently in the market.

Jean Koeppel

Alan was a true pleasure to partner with and a consummate professional that showed command of his profession. We strongly believe that we would not have successfully negotiated our home purchase without him. His cool, calm and collected demeanor was instrumental in winning over the Seller/owner. Thanks Alan!!

Joshua & Meghan Raymond

Alan O'ODoherty made the whole experience so much less stressful. A really calm manner!! I highly recommend him - great agent!

Jenia Molnar

alan was great. he was super helpful with every step of the process . i think the sale would have been a disaster if it wasn’t for alan being so thorough. i have a terrible brain disease where i don’t trust anyone trying to help me but i totally trusted alan the whole way. it was my first time buying a house and i feel lucky i got to work with alan on it.

Robert Doherty

Alan o’ Doherty is the best. Working with him made the whole process easy and enjoyable. He get’s the jokes! Recommend him highly . Best, Gaye and Roger

Roger Miller & Gabrielle Sandler

Sotheby’s has a wide range of home prices and I appreciate the reputation it has.

Grace Parker

Alan was a fantastic support during the process. He was always responsive, gave sound advice and was a pleasure to deal with.

Rowland & Emma Hudson

Alan is amazing!! He always went above and beyond for us, and made selling our home a smooth process!

Elevacation Vacation Properties LLC

Alan was extremely diligent and very well informed about the area. He was very easy to work with and very responsive to questions.

Wouterus van Middendorp & Tom Polum

Alan O Daugherty went above and beyond in helping sell my house! He was diligent and a real professional all around. I would recommend him highly!

Joseph Keneally

Our family had to sell a house that was quite a distance from us. We interviewed Alan and agreed he was the person who would listen to our needs and appreciate our situation. We weren't wrong - he was professional, sensitive, well informed about the local market, understood our situation and kept us to to date through the whole process. Also, a really nice guy!

Liza Drake

When I had to unexpectedly sell my sisters house, I chose Alan as my realtor, not only because of his explanation of the local market and his marketing & advertising strategies he planned to use, but also because of his friendly and proactive attitude. Because I lived away, I felt very comfortable with Alan managing the showings and day to day requirements of the house. When an unexpected legal problem added a bit of time to the sale, his patience and optimistic attitude were a great help. The house successfully sold for a but more than expected, and during the pricess I never regretted having Alan represent me. I found him to be well informed, involved, friendly and proactive. I was fortunate.

Mark Schofield

Alan was fantastic to work with. Great EQ. Available at all times. Explained everything to me as a first-time homebuyer. I got the house, didn't I?!? I think that speaks wonders to his ability to advise properly and support me through the process. I'll work with him in the future 100%. Only cash offers next time ;)

Greta Murphy

It was a pleasure working with Alan on our recent home purchase. He was hard-working, responsive, honest, knowledgeable, personable, and patient with us. In the current challenging market these qualities were super important and proved invaluable while navigating our search and purchase. We met a decent number of real-estate agents when we first started looking. Alan was by far the best for us and we feel lucky to have found him. We wouldn’t hesitate to use him again and strongly recommend him to others.

Kevin Wheeler

Fantastic realtor! Alan's knowledge of the UK and US real estate markets were invaluable to me and my family when we relocated from London. He is very professional, super responsive and managed our international real estate requirements with ease. He helped us to find our lovely new home in an amazing location. We simply can't thank him enough.

Oonagh Browne

Alan got me a great price in a record time for the property I was listing with him. He is very transparent and personable, and was always available for my questions and any follow-up items throughout the deal. I highly recommend him.

Magdalena Drag

Alan was an absolute pleasure to work with. He took the time to answer all of my questions and calls, and he made finding and buying a house an easy process. I highly recommend working with him!

Joe Theshark

I worked with Alan both as referral partner back in London, UK and privately through number of property transactions around the world, namely in UK, Spain, USA and Singapore. Alan is both personal and professional in his dealings. I had the pleasure of transacting with Alan through sale of my own own house in Weybridge, UK and Jacksonville, Florida. Alan also helped me find a contact through his Sotheby's network in Singapore for our rental property need and connected to great property lawyer in Spain when I needed to understand the legal aspects of property sale in Spain. You really can't go wrong if you choose to work with this Irishman, he's absolute pleasure to work with and has enormous network of professional contacts that he can reach out when needed.

Hannu Lehmusvaara

Alan is an outstanding agent from another agent's perspective. No ego, excellent communication and a delight to work with!

Rick Distel

It was my first-time working with Alan. He was professional and helped the transition run smoothly. We kept the lines of communication open. It was a pleasure. Cheers!

Susan O'Dell

Alan was extremely attentive and clear through the whole process, and his consistency and reliability was so appreciated! We will use him for all of our CT realty needs!

Nathan Johnson & Joe Gleason

Alan was very helpful and diligent throughout the process. He found a good number of homes for us to look at and helped secure the property and navigate the closing. He was particularly good at liaising with the seller's broker to secure a price reduction at the end of the process. Alan was always available, prepared to explain any steps, and work with our schedule. I would definitely recommend Alan and the team. First class.
