I have been a full-time Realtor for  twenty-nine years here in the northwest corner of Connecticut, and I love what I do, and where I live. I find great satisfaction in finding the right property for a buyer or finding a buyer who will love a property as much as the sellers did. Being a Realtor is a bit like doing a puzzle, it can be challenging, but I love a challenge and making the pieces all fit together. I take pride in my ability to combine an extensive knowledge of the area and its resources with a high degree of professionalism, resulting in a positive real estate experience for buyers and sellers alike. I handle all types of transactions from large country estates, land parcels, and lakefront properties, to seasonal rentals, and I am a fierce advocate for my client's interests in order to achieve the best outcome for them. Communication is key and I strive to respond quickly and to keep everyone informed during the process. I have many connections to area services and encourage my clients to reach out to me as a resource long after the transaction is over, our relationship does not end at the closing table. 

In addition to Connecticut, I hold licenses in New York and Massachusetts, and am active in Multiple Listing Services there, handling sales and listings in the Hudson Valley and Southern Berkshires. If I do not cover an area, I will research and refer you to a qualified agent that does.

My family was originally attracted to the northwest corner of Litchfield County as part-time residents in the 1970s and fell in love with the area, settling here full-time only a couple of years later. I could think of no better place to live and raise my own family. My partner Scott and I live in Sharon, CT with our two terriers. When not working, I enjoy cooking, skiing, gardening, hiking, kayaking, adventures on my BMW GS, and spending time with my children and grandchildren. 

Whether it is a summer rental or full-time residence, let me show you all this area has to offer and help you fall in love with where you live.

Testimonials

Mimi Harson was amazing as she guided and supported us in each step we needed to take in order to sell our house. We felt like we were in good hands throughout the whole process with her extensive experience and expertise. And we were extremely happy and grateful when the house sold quickly and for above the asking price. If anyone ever asks me to recommend a realtor in the area, it will definitely be Mimi Harson!

Debra Lill

Mimi Harson continues to be a great partner to me. Totally on top of the market and in tune with my interests.

Catherine Cusack

Mimi Harson, assisted by her Connecticut colleague Laurie Dunham, was superb in every respect.

Henry Putzel

Mimi Harson has been an outstanding realtor!! My search for an ideal property took much longer than those of most other clients, but Mimi never gave up, and consistently and proactively reached out to me with numerous listings that might be interesting. She walked properties with me in snow and rain, always ready to answer questions or, if she didn’t have the information, to promptly find out. Mimi’s knowledge of the area is extensive, and she was always able to help contextualize advantages and disadvantages of a property in relation to what I wanted. I highly recommend Mimi, and look forward to working with her in the future if I ever need a realtor again!

A Very Happy Client

Very open discussions and efficient process

Steven Goldberg Gail Dow Goldberg

Mimi is the absolute best broker ever. She is relentless, on call 100 hours per day, RAIN, SHINE, WEEK DAY OR WEEKEND. She never gave up with our search ( pre covid too) I can not say enough about her. We were just so lucky to have had her with us. I can honestly say we never would have found a house without her. Yes....she walks on water!

Norma Edlebaum

I started working with the delightful Laurie Dunham, who strikes me as a professional in every aspect: knowledgeable about the market, prompt in follow-up, thoughtful, and utterly pleasant to deal with. When it become clear that Laurie could not represent me in the transaction at hand, she introduced me to Mim Harmon, who mirrored Laurie in each and every respect mentioned above. From advising me on bidding, to arranging and attending the inspection, to introducing me to Legal Counsel, Mimi walked me through every step of the process, and the closing on the condo that I bought was the smoothest and easiest real estate transaction I can remember. She's the best!

Alden Warner III

Mimi Harson is knowledgeable, resourceful , reliable/dependable, trustworthy, and compassionate. She went above & beyond to help us.. It has been gratifying & an enriching experience to work with her.

Anita Lim Shaw

Mimi Harsen has been my agent twice to rent a local home. I found her to be very helpful, responsive and friendly. Because she reached out to me I am again renting from you. Thanks Mimi!

Theresa Lown

Home buying or selling is fraught with expectations and emotions that can get in the way of completing a sale. Mimi provides her clients with the transparency and clear headedness needed for transactions to happen for the right reasons at the right price. She has a lifetime of experience in the market area, deep expertise in home construction and maintenance and is a highly responsive partner throughout the process. No matter how busy she is, she responds to queries within the day. If, by some chance, she does not have an answer she will get it. I am grateful to have found such a gracious, seasoned pro to work with on a recent Lakeville purchase.

Kristin E.

In September 2023, when we decided to list our Lakeville residence for a quick sale, we sought recommendations from friends for a reputable realtor. The name that consistently surfaced was Mimi Harson, prompting us to engage her services. Having experienced the real estate market over four decades and transacted in a dozen properties, we unequivocally assert that Mimi Harson of William Pitt Sotheby's International Realty surpasses all other realtors we've engaged. During our initial meeting, Mimi demonstrated strategic prowess in positioning our house on the market to maximize exposure and showings. Her support extended beyond mere comp analysis, as she promptly arranged for professional photography and even adjusted her commitments to accommodate showings of our property. Following the showings, Mimi diligently reviewed multiple offers, providing insightful advice on each, and remained accessible round-the-clock for any queries or guidance we sought. Furthermore, Mimi's network was invaluable when she connected us with fellow Sotheby realtor Christy Muller. Christy facilitated the purchase of our new condo in Avon, seamlessly coordinating with Mimi to ensure simultaneous closings for both properties and a smooth transition for us. We highly recommend Mimi Harson, with no reservations.

Elissa Slan

The sale of my home was very complicated, with several unforeseen obstacles along the way. Throughout the experience Mimi Harson worked diligently to overcome many of the challenges - the others were issues I had to handle but even so she was always by my side. She often had relationships established with involved parties, which was extremely helpful, and was relentless in her efforts to do what had to be done to make the sale happen. Her advice was always on point, and she had the ability to keep me smiling even in the darkest times. She is responsive, resourceful, extremely knowledgeable with the area and a true professional. I'm so happy she was my realtor, and highly recommend her to anyone who is in need of someone to help them buy or sell their property.

Owners of 6 Dug Rd, Sharon, CT 06069

Mimi Harson is a consummate professional, an excellent, experienced real estate agent with knowledge of the area, resourcefulness and determination. I have the utmost confidence that whoever chooses to utilize Ms. Harson's services will have great results.The day that I initially contacted Mimi regarding the purchase of a home, I was in very bad spirits. After canceling a contract on a home due to a bad inspection, I was in the process of packing my belongings with no place to go. I contacted Mimi with regard to one of her listings, which had actually sold, but Mimi immediately began to send me a number of similar listings in the area. I gave her a simple description of why I liked the property that had sold, and she grasped my taste instantly. Needless to say, I found exactly what I was looking for, and I am extremely happy.What goes above and beyond the ordinary was Mimi stick-to-it-tiveness in bringing the transaction to the closing table. Mimi is to be commended for her unfailing and unflappable patience, creativity and tenacity in assisting to meet the requirements of my mortgage lender, which, in today's difficult real estate/mortgage climate, can seem insurmountable.I was fortunate to have met Mimi. She is a superlative, skilled realtor, and I recommend her highly.

Owner of 81 Merwin Road, Millerton, NY

Mimi is one of the best. She represented us with professionalism and straightforwardness, looked out for our interests, and routinely exceeded our expectations. We will work with her again and highly recommend her.

Owner of 77 Indian Mountain Rd, Lakeville, CT

Mimi helped me and my husband find our house last spring, and working with her could not have been better. She is, far and away, the best real estate broker I've ever worked with (or heard of!). She is experienced, incredibly knowledgeable, and just generally a delight to be around. Real estate is not just her profession, not just something she does on the side, it's her passion. She really listened to us and what we wanted, and worked hard to find it. Buying a house was a big venture for us, and we had a lot to learn. Mimi was patient, and made an amazing advocate. We felt as though she was always on our side. She was with us every step of the way to answer any little question we might have, no matter how small or seemingly silly. She was incredibly responsive and really seemed to care. I would recommend Mimi to anyone!

Owner of 23 Johnson Rd, West Cornwall, CT

Wile living in PA, I became the executor of an estate in CT and found myself needing to sell a home. Another relative and I interviewed agents from the various firms serving the area, and we selected Mimi based on her professional reputation and her calming personal style. At every key turn, we realized we made a good decision. She listened and remembered our priorities. She made solid recommendations, backed up her suggestions with real data, and communicated with us effectively both telephonically and via email. She also worked seamlessly with the estate's attorney, which gave us great comfort. I highly recommend Mimi.

Owner of property in Falls Village, CT

Mimi has handled two purchases and two sales for us, the most recent closed in July. Mimi is a tremendous advocate, whether representing you as buyer or seller. She has excellent knowledge of the area, listens to your needs and demonstrates great follow through. She is very prompt to respond. I would recommend her to anyone regardless of the price point.
