Crystal Vicuna

Laura Ancona is an outstanding real estate agent- one of the very best. She is 100% committed to her clients, highly responsive and conducts business with the utmost integrity, honesty and professionalism. As an out of state buyer, she was particularly helpful in acclimating us to the market and showing us nearly 20 homes. Through that process, we were thoroughly ready and confident by the time we made an offer. I would highly recommend Laura to any CT home buyer or seller. She made our relocation dreams come true!

Cathy Linder

Laura Ancona was great, very professional and helpful. I highly recommend her.

Laura anticipated all my needs and assisted me in every way. Laura is smart, intuitive, and compassionate. She is highly knowledgeable and I would refer her every time. It was an absolute pleasure to work with Laura Ancona.

Laura Ancona was fantastic! Her knowledge from years of experience was critical in helping us to find a house. Laura’s negotiating skills are highly effective and her calm and down-to-earth nature kept us sane even when things got a little stressful! Laura is also very creative and was able to make my house look significantly better by changing the placement of furniture and paintings. I would highly recommend Laura Ancona.

Jennifer Wolfenden

Laura Ancona, to put it simply, is a pro. She handled the listing, staging, viewings and sale of our home in Ridgefield with confidence and excellent attention to detail. We always felt that we were in very competent and experienced hands. Her follow-up to questions and handling of any issues that arose during the process were always timely and reassuring. We would be happy to recommend Laura and her team to anyone looking to sell - or purchase - a home in the area. Sincerely, Craig and Jackie Kisciras

Craig Kisciras

Laura was professional, detail oriented, and super helpful. Our property was a complicated one, and she really worked hard to find answers for us on things that were not easy to figure out. We really appreciated all of the work she did on our behalf!

Lisa Krakowsky

Laura Ancona is the gold standard for brokers and sales people. Extraordinarily client focused, and she can negotiate through any hurdles. Nothing is insurmountable for Laura. Highest praise for her.

Albert Messina

I can't think of a more efficient, enthusiastic, and creative saleswoman; Laura performed brilliantly from start to finish.

Robert Morton

Laura was great in assisting us long distance. We currently live in Oklahoma City and weren’t able to be there physically and shop for a home . She listened carefully to what our desires and needs were and went to work finding us the right home for us . Her response time was always reasonably short in answering questions or concerns via email. texts or phone calls. She works well with other agents, lawyers and companies to assist a buyer with any needs one may have . We highly recommend Laura to anyone buying or selling .

Pamela Kingsley

Laura is top on her game. The pictures she did of the house and mapping them to the layout no one else has done in the 10 houses I have sold before. Clearly, she got top dollar for my property.

David Hennig

The realtor, Laura Ancona, was intelligent, and focused on this sale. She went above and beyond any expectations and followed through on every aspect of this purchase. She coordinated various vendors who were involved and took charge of every transaction that was necessary. She is a gem and it was truly a pleasure working with her.

Jerome Waye

Laura Ancona is a pure delight! Professional, extremely knowledgeable, and a warm, lovely person. She understood what we were looking for and found it! We are absolutely thrilled with our new home!

Jon Rubin

Was very happy with Laura as my realtor. She calmed me down and got the job done.

Karen McChesney, Trustee

Knowledgable, thorough and transparent. I would recommend William Pitt/Julia B. Fee Sotheby's to a friend or colleague in a heartbeat. Never have I been treated so respectfully and kindly in a real estate transaction. A pleasure from beginning to end.

Joshua Lehrer

Laura handled a challenging estate sale for our family with the utmost professionalism, compassion and commitment. We will not hesitate to recommend her services at anytime to anyone.

Edward Byron, Jr.

Laura Ancona is the best realtor in this business. She knows the area. She knows the other brokers, attorneys, repair people. She gets it all done and makes it look easy, which I know it is not. She goes above and beyond for her clients. I would never use anyone but Laura Ancona on any deal.

Katherine Freeman, Trustee

I am extremely pleased with the results of the recent sale of a family property. The level of caring, knowledge and professionalism that Laura Ancona extended to me was so much appreciated during a bittersweet time. I believe her pricing was accurate which made for a very quick and uncomplicated sale. Great experience from start to finish. If I ever need guidance in another real estate venture I would gladly contact Laura again. Sincerely, Robin McCabe

Robin McCabe

She was wonderful to work with. Constructive feedback, efficient, quick correspondence. Provided much support, guidance and kept the process moving forward in negotiations. Highly recommend Laura. It was nothing but a pleasure to work with her. Very calming, reassuring, knowledgeable and honest discussion.

Anabela Pereira

Laura Ancona and her team have helped us with two homes now, and they are fantastic. The process can be complicated, emotional, and they're always there to guide you along the way. They help you navigate the ups and downs to ensure you achieve the outcome you're hoping for. They're the best, we highly recommend them!

Steven Kesselman

Laura is fantastic to work with. She steers you through the complexities of buying or selling a home, helping you set the right place, helping you negotiate with the buyer or seller, and ensures that everyone is treated fairly and with respect. Highly recommend!

Steven Kesselman

Laura gave us so much time to find the perfect home with her hand picked options.

Mary Diego

We have already recommended Laura to friends! Laura was wonderful. East to work with, responsive, and provided thoughtful guidance. She was diligent in finding out what our optimal deal would look like, and sure enough, that’s what we got. She brought a stager, photographers, and produced a professional, attractive sales package. We had a fabulous experience.

Jeffrey Friedman

Working with Laura was an absolute pleasure! Her guidance through the whole process was impeccable.

Kristen Jolls

Laura was a delight to work with – she understood the emotional challenges of selling our parents' home after they passed and worked closely with us to respect our wishes and make the best decisions – from timing to final details – in preparing and selling the house. Laura's expertise and respectful relationship with her partners/vendors and energetic can-do attitude made the transaction positive and seamless. She negotiated a wonderful close to a chapter in our lives. I highly recommend Laura for all of your real estate needs.

zuser20170709035314502

Exceptional in every regard! Clearly demonstrated why she is ranked the #1 Realtor in the #1 Real Estate firm in the region! She worked closely with us to stage and present the home to best effect. Assisted in getting a fabulous paint & prep company to touch up nail pops and dry wall. Worked overtime to ensure a prospective buyer got un-stuck in a snowstorm after seeing the house. Facilitated furniture being purchased by home buyer saving us both time and energy. Finally, had her contacts repair the well-head and ensure well water was within acceptable chemistry levels. Really grateful for Laura and her team who made the sale process smooth and profitable.

bethsalamanca1

Laura was incredibly efficient in getting our home staged, cleaned and on the market quickly with very short notice. Her kindness, professionalism, communication and sensitivity to our situation was very appreciated.

Jennifer Koerner

Thank you Laura….well done!

Gino Polizzotto

Laura Freed‘s professionalism and experience in the real estate market offered me a sense of comfort and assurance about selling my home. No problem was too big for her. She was available every step of the way with sound advice and help. I would not hesitate to work with Laura again and would highly recommend her to anyone.

Deborah Stevens

Laura is fabulous.

Eliza & Courtney Wemyss

Tremendous real estate IQ!

Michael Murray

Laura was recommended to us by both family and friends, leaving us with very high expectations. Navigating a "remote" move is not the easiest or most common, but Laura handled it with professionalism and ease. Laura is the absolute best! While the market created its fair share of challenges, Laura helped us navigate a number of bidding wars and always had our best interests in mind. When we finally found our perfect home, we knew, in part, because Laura was also in love with it. Over the 3 months we worked with her, we developed so much trust and got to know her so well that it was like dealing with a family member. We will continue to recommend Laura to anyone we know who is moving to the area or relocating to a new home, again, she is the best!

Mary Ellen Davenport

This was our first time buying a house but we were in such good hands at every step. Buying a house for the first time is terrifying on its own, but in this wild housing market, we were so happy to have Laura. She was able to find us a perfect house in our budget and was completely hands on throughout the process so we never felt like we were on our own. Laura is incredibly knowledgable of the area and was able to alert us to potential issues (and solutions) that other realtors with less intimate knowledge of the area would have missed. She is an absolute pro - the best of the best. We wouldn't have done it any other way and I would strongly recommend Laura to anyone interested in buying or selling a house!

Allison O'Shea

Working with Laura was a dream. She was incredibly knowledgeable, very professional, and most importantly - honest. She did a fantastic job with process negotiations and we couldn’t be happier with our experience. Recommending her to everyone we know!

jmcdowell86

We have had great experience working with Laura and would highly recommend her!

Julia McLean

Laura F and MaryAnn were amazing to work with in a very stressful situation. They listened and understood quickly the home I was looking for. The deep expertise and wisdom about the local market made all the difference. When the need arises. I would absolutely turn to Laura Freed.

Amy Keller

Many thanks to Laura and Marianne!

Evan Eckman

Laura Freed Ancona is an an outstanding realtor and a pleasure to work with. She provided excellent advice on preparing the house for sale. She and Christy Kinsman did a beautiful job staging the house. She was always responsive to my questions and concerns and managed offers wisely. Laura expertly navigated some difficult circumstances, always remaining professional with the goal of closing the sale in mind. She was extremely generous with her time, overseeing seeing some of the necessary repairs. She developed a good working relationship with the other realtor involved and all service professionals. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone planning to sell their home.

Laura Freed is phenominal. She did a wonderful job for us. This was a difficult transaction -- lots of unique and difficult issues. Without Laura, I don't think this house would have been sold. She is thorough, thoughtful, smart and a committed honest genuine person. She is the best!

Philip Danford

Laura embodies all the values so important to both buyers and sellers…a passionate concern for both with the experience to identify all issues and answer all questions in a professional manner. Laura would be good for anyone’s business.

Joseph Poppalardo

Our realtor was extremely responsive and helpful and had us sold extremely quickly!

Amanda Paktinat

Laura Freed is fantastic. She has helped us buy / sell a few homes and always very insightful and very in tune with the market.

Justin Pinkham

Laura did a fantastic job for us selling our Ridgefield house recently. 5 years ago in a tight selling market she found us a quality tenant and then this spring when we were ready to sell, she was the only broker we considered. She evaluated the property, advised us as to maintenance to be done, and how to price the property. Once listed, she promoted our property and generated a lot of traffic. Which ultimately lead to a recently closed sale at a price we are very happy with. Laura then sourced a great option for us to downsize to and was able to make a another great deal. We couldn’t recommend Laura more highly, she’s a pro!

Bruce Ruehl, Review For Laura Freed Ancona

Laura did a great job for us! Five years ago in a tough market she found us a quality tenant and then worked closely with us this spring to get the property prepared for re-listing and provided great insight on pricing for our market. Once listed, she advised us on pricingpromoted the property very well and generated a high level of traffic.

Bruce Ruehl

Laura was incredible from the first meeting through the sale! Her knowledge, demeanor, and determination made for a seamless experience. And Marianne was fantastic to work with, too!

Amanda Duff

Laura helped us to sell our home recently. We would absolutely recommend Laura to anyone looking to buy or sell their home. She was incredibly knowledgeable about the market, the process and was very responsive. We truly enjoyed working with Laura. A terrific experience all around.

zuser20180318195318969

Laura was great to work with. She is a real Pro! The photos, description of the property was first class. Her attention to detail was great. I highly recommend her!

shzeitler

Laura has been great. Very professional and calm. I recommend her as often as I can.

Vincent Falotico

Laura was very efficient, great follow up & took care of business.

Christopher Cullen

What more can be said than selling one's house in less than 24 hours at 10% above asking?

WIlliam Hildreth

Laura Freed was professional , candid , knew the market and provided good advice She was our advocate in negotiations and led the process well

Douglas Tough

Laura Freed Ancona deserves her great reputation. We enjoyed working with her. She offered good advice and had some excellent workers "on call" to help us get the house show ready after our tenant left.

Pamela Leahy

We loved working with Laura! She is by far the best and most professional realtor my husband and I have ever worked with. Laura guided us through the home buying process and made everything as easy as possible on our end. Would highly recommend her to anyone looking for their new home.

Laura Petrucelli

During this chaotic time when the housing market is booming, we were so fortunate to find our perfect home in Ridgefield, CT. This was all thanks to Laura. Once she knew what we were looking for, Laura utilized her years of experience and contacts to ensure that we purchased the home of our dreams without sacrificing even one "must have." On the contrary, I feel we got even more than we expected. We couldn't be happier. She is not only a dependable and knowledgable real estate agent, but also a key resource for all things house related (e.g recommendations for well water, painter, contractor, etc.) or Ridgefield related (e.g. recs for restaurants, stores, etc.) Laura is honest, dependable, and amiable to work with. We highly recommend her for anyone looking to move to the Ridgefield area.

Lenti kathryn

There are no words to express the gratitude that we have for Laura Freed Ancona. After spending a day with us she knew exactly what we wanted (which turned out be something totally different than what we thought we wanted) and found us the perfect home within 3 days! Her professionalism and follow up during the process was stellar and it was a real pleasure working with her. We have already referred 2 friends to her!

Robert Delman

Laura left no stone unturned.

Lynn Delman

Laura was very helpful and he local knowledge came in handy. Although we found the home on our own, Laure was wiling to help us through the negotiations. As first home buyers, we had no choice but to place out trust in Laura, thankfully it all worked out in the end and we got our dream home!

zuser20190726162126884

Laura exhibits everything you want from the best of realtors. No nonsense, no BS, to the point. Confidence that she WILL sell your house. This makes the seller relaxed and instills confidence in them (buyer). I honestly don’t know how she does it. We were very fortunate to have her. Thank you Laura and William Pitt Sotheby's.

Paul Miner

Laura Freed Ancona was so great to work with!

Robert & Kimberly Clemnza

Helaine Fiedler

Laura Ancona is/was outstanding!

Joseph S. Montgomery

Laura came highly recommended from my friend Brian, and Sophie and I couldn't be happier with how the process went and the house that we bought. The whole experience was quick and exciting and Laura's advice and knowledge was absolutely vital to everything going as smoothly as it did. She went above and beyond, helped us find a beautiful home but also welcomed us to the area and offered her help going forward. We are grateful for her help!

Andrew Van Wyngarden

Laura Freed-Ancona did a wonderful job understanding our needs and exactly what we were looking for. As volatile as the market was she was a calming voice in helping us land the perfect house.

Chris Svendsen

Laura was f@bulous. She taught me patience.

Elizabeth Murray

Laura’s knowledge, professionalism and negotiating skills made her a pleasure to work with!

Manuela Sementilli

Laura Freed has been working with me on my various properties for a number of years. She is an excellent realtor, knows her clients well and listens to what they have to say. I plan to use Laura as my realtor for as long as I own properties anywhere.

Bettina Rosser

I found Laura Freed Anconna to be well organized, businesslike and responsive. She seems very experienced and well connected. The contractors she suggested for renovations on the house we sold were all competent and well priced. Her staff all did their work competently and on time. And in her marketing campaign for the house, I think she really left no stone unturned. One buyer failed to obtain a mortgage. Laura was on the job the next day and had another lined up pretty quickly. She was a pleasure to deal with. I just recommended her to someone in Old Greenwich who would like to sell their house and buy something in Ridgefield or Redding.

Frederik Engle (Estate of)

Laura is very professional. she gave great advice regarding pricing. She followed up whenever required. She helped walk us through th inspection and closing process without a hitch. We couldn't be happier.

Robert Abshire

Laura gets the job done, as simple as that.

Laura was knowledgeable and on top of her stuff. Knows the area very well and her team was great too!

Sean Coreth

Laura was great and did everything we could have asked for. From the initial sales plan all the way through closing we were lucky to have her working with us.

Thomas Hauser

Laura is a no-nonsense, highly professional realtor with a pulse on what is happening in the greater Ridgefield real estate market. As a CPA, Laura is astute at advising in all financial matters. Her network of experts - from painters to movers and closing attorneys - is impressive and very helpful. Laura worked with us to sell our Ridgefield home and relocate to Bethel in an amenity-rich community.

susanedb

Laura and her colleague Marianne went above and beyond the call of duty to secure our dream house during the pandemic and refer helpful relationships to fulfill any closing/maintenance requirements. My wife and I will be forever grateful for their kindness, expertise, and unmatched hustle and advocacy for our family.

shartofilis

New to Connecticut, I was very lucky to hook up with Laura. Even though I was still living in California when I began looking for a place to buy, Laura always took my calls and was ready to prepare me for house hunting within my budget and finding the style of home I needed. When I finally arrived in Connecticut Laura began to show me homes and was available any time of the day. It didn’t take long to find the perfect home for my needs. It was smooth sailing from beginning to end. Professional, very knowledgeable and always personable, Laura was a lucky find. If you are looking to buy I highly recommend Laura for your house-hunting needs.

KerryVS

Very good knowledge of the area, attention to details. Laura was always available for my questions. Very patience professional, answered on my every SMS and Email. She know so much and so many people in the market. Supported us through pandemic in May and helped us closed the deal on the house that we liked.

IlyaTsaryuk

Laura helped us successfully navigate a contemporaneous sale and purchase of a home on a very compressed timeline. In particular, I am certain that the purchase would not have been possible without Laura's advocacy and approach, convincing the seller to accept our contingent offer in a hot market. She was attentive, responsive, knowledgeable and importantly kind -- we enjoyed working with her and intend to recommend her going forward.

swthomson

Our agent did a great job publicizing our home, photographing it and helping us correctly price it. She worked hard to get our difficult buyers to follow through and purchase our home.

Margaret Inserra

We had a great experience with Laura Freed Ancona. She was pleasant, knowledgeable and very professional. Her relaxed demeanor helped take most of the anxiety out of the overall process.

Kieran Xanthos

Laura was a pleasure to work with. She was quick to get back to us anytime we had a question. She was also very knowledgeable about all things home related. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell!!!

Shannon Xanthos

Excellent service, thank you very much Laura.

Liviu & Rodica Cadareanu

Laura Freed was a bastion of perseverance, support, and resourcefulness over the 16 month journey from listing to closing. Although Laura was, at the outset, a bit overly optimistic about the value / salability of my property ... i was overly skeptical about the property ever closing. Were it not for Laura's competence and diligence, i'm certain the property would still be on the market.

Ned Adamson-Strauss

Laura helped us sell in a softening market through smart, targeted marketing. Laura guided the sale through a very challenging negotiation and settlement. We would recommend her to buyers and sellers alike without hesitation.

I highly recommend my agent Laura Freed Ancona. She is a professional and resourceful agent. She always answered our questions or concerns promptly. She never tried to push us to make decisions, but instead, helped us to evaluate the various situations and make the appropriate offer. Her perseverance eventually made the deal happen. Without her help, we won’t be able to have our current house. Thank you, Laura!

Laura was always available for our many questions. I can not describe how many positive comments about the beautiful staging she did of our home. And most importantly she knew how to be supportive during complicated situations. We are very grateful for her advice and guidance and expertise!

We first met Laura when she was the agent on the house we bought. She had a way about her that was professional, fair and reasonable, and made negotiations positive. We just sold our house and, again, would highly recommend her if you want a smooth and well run experience. Her people skills afford her the ability to get things done in a way that people want to do business with her again

Laura was AMAZING to work with. Not only did she identify houses that were within our budget and thoughtfully considered, but she was with us for every step of the way when we needed advice on home assessments, mortgages, contractors, and other legal steps. She even returned calls and emails nearly instantaneously while she was on vacation, and helped us tremendously with all steps needed when we needed to expedite our home purchase. I will be forever grateful for her help, and impressed with her professionalism, efficiency, and advocacy on behalf of us (her clients). Couldn't recommend her any more highly!!!

Laura's holistic consultative approach and her business experience made an enormous difference in our being able to reach a successful closing. Her objective advice on the obstacles we faced and help in overcoming them were invaluable.

After working with Laura, it is no surprise to me that she has a leading market share of Redding real estate sales. The old school way of list it & leave it may have worked back in the day when we bought our house, but everything is different today. If you are really interested in selling your house, talk to Laura and let her advise you on how to make it happen. After she took over for us, our house was sold in 1 month. The added bonus is that it is a real pleasure to work with Laura who still embraces the old school concepts of service & integrity.

I can't say enough about Laura!!! She sold our house in less than a week! The staging of our house was amazing....she transformed the look and we loved it and so did everyone else. She was easy to work with, very communicative and on top of her game.

lisagallichio

Laura sold our home fast and easy! We got multiple offers and got our asking price in a week! She is a master of the real state! She is passionate, efficient, hard working, beautiful and full of fun! I enjoyed the entire process working with her. I especially benefited from the staging process that Laura and her secret helper Christy Kingsman offered. It has changed my life. My home has become more and more beautiful because I am applying what I learned from them in the art of organizing and living. I am forever grateful to her :)! Laura will help you get what you want artfully :)!

Laura has so much experience and knowledge in this industry. She was absolutely invaluable in our home purchase decisions as well as in our previous home sale decisions/processes. Have worked with her for years and is our absolute “go-to” on all real estate topics.

allisonspinkham

We felt very lucky to have met Laura and highly recommend her. She was always available to respond to any of our questions and concerns, is very knowledgeable, professional and positive in her interactions. She used a team of professionals to market and help sell our home. She had great advice and knows the Ridgefield/Redding market very well. Beyond that, she is a caring, genuine and warm person that made this stressful process easier.

williamoed

My wife and I have, after living in big cities, in apartments all our lives have just bought our first actual house in Ridgefield. We knew very little about the process and houses in general. Laura was our realtor and she is AMAZING. She knew so much and so many people in the market. She worked with us and found our perfect house for us and worked hard to get us a great deal. We've exchanged hundreds of emails and SMSes and phone calls in the process and she was always available and very easily reachable. She made this stressful process easy for us. We felt like we were her only customers, while she has many. I really can't say enough good things. If you want the best agent in Ridgefield, Redding area -- you want Laura to be your agent.

dr2000

Laura did an outstanding job of marketing our home. She helped with staging and promoting the house with agents in town. Once we received an offer, Laura worked selfishly to ensure that we would get a fair offer in a difficult market. I would recommend Laura to any home owner looking for a professional and committed real estate agent.

zuser20180418094619220

Laura is great to work with and gets the job done in what has proven to be a tough market. The photographer she uses is exceptional. The pictures of my house and grounds were stunning and certainly helped in selling the house. She definitely knows her stuff and I highly recommended her.

mkent1027

Laura is the best! She is very responsive, practical, accurate and does it all with a warm, genuine and friendly manner. I wouldn’t trust any other realtor but her. She will be my realtor for life now. She helped us get a great deal. I adore her!

tarawinterdigirolamo

Laura is amazing ... smart, responsive and HONEST. Her list of handymen to help with last minute fixes is a god send. I highly recommend her. She's truly a top-notch professional.

Laura is AMAZING. She represented me as a client so professionally and with great persistence. She is thoroughly knowledgeable about all aspects of buying and selling a home. She is a great advocate and advisor to her clients.

216aftaylor

This woman is a true gem! She is honest, quick, kind, and insightful. She has been in the field for over 25 years and knows her stuff. She always got back to me immediately after I contacted her and had great advice to give me. I will actually miss working with her. I never write reviews but if you are lucky enough to work with Laura then you are working with the best!

Laura did a wonderful job for us as we searched for a home in Ridgefield and the surrounding communities. She was thorough, patient, knowledgeable, personable, prepared, and understanding. She's the best, and we highly recommend her.

user927756

My wife and I cannot express how incredibly professional, responsive, and knowledgable Laura is about her field. She has helped my family purchase, sell, and rent multiple homes in Ridgefield. Laura is a master of her domain and works around the clock to make sure no stone is left unturned. We have gained much more than a real estate agent in Laura. We trust her as we would a family member with any and all transactions. From the first step of the "shopping" process, to negotiating, closing, and following up with us after closing... there is truly NO ONE better than Laura Freed Ancona. Thank you, Laura!

tompesce

Laura was very professional, responsible, prompt and courteous. Enjoyed working with her and would highly recommend. She kept us apprised of changing market conditions and sought feedback from other realtors as they showed the house. During the contract negotiations Laura displayed excellent negotiating skills in getting an ultimate fair price.

user6735656

Laura is the most professional real estate agent that I ever had, and I've bought and sold over 20 properties. She is thorough, persistent, and keeps a positive attitude through tough negotiations. I recommended her to several friends and they all agree. Thanks Laura.

roccobel

Laura is a top notch broker. As such she is highly effective, connected and knowlegable. Laura is also very concrete, realistic and responsive. Not only will she sell your house, she will also help you move in and address any issues you may have fitting your furniture. She is great!

iza63

We used Laura a few years ago to sell our home! She was so sweet and was honest in what needed to be done to sell it. She did a great job and is a lovely person! I would 100% use her again without question!

user54995284

There is no reason to buy or sell your home with anyone else. Laura is Ridgefield Real Estate. It took us 3 agents and 9 months to find the right person and we are so happy we were referred to her. Laura helped us buy our dream home.Michael and Christine LoGiudice
