Testimonials
Jennifer was great - above and way beyond expectations. I had the misfortune of breaking my leg just prior to putting the house on the market, and she handled all of the logistics of final preparation and staging, not to mention the usual broker responsibilities. In an unusually volatile market, we worked closely on pricing and presentation, and ended up closing with an amount well above what the comparison homes went for. Very happy with the whole process!
It was great working with you on the purchase of a Connecticut Property. I am grateful for all of your help in making this a smooth transaction. Thank you for your partnership. I look forward to working together in the future. Thank you!!
