Testimonials:

"Allyson is the best of the best! She gave great advice on staging our home in a cost-effective way, and she and her photographer did an amazing job with the listing photos. With her guidance, we accepted an offer just 2 days after we listed, which allowed us to purchase the perfect home for our family. Allyson remained in constant contact throughout the process, with endless patience and quick responses to each question and concern. She suggested excellent inspectors and contractors for inspection fixes on both ends (our purchase and sale), while negotiating with both realtors to keep us on track for our closing date. She walked us through the complicated process of selling/buying and moving in/out in one day. We truly benefited from her friendly, fair and always-optimistic approach, along with her extensive experience and knowledge, and we couldn't be happier with the result!"

"Our agent was Allyson Cotton and she was wonderful to us and to work with. Our journey with Allyson lasted nearly a year and she exhibited awesome people skills and helped us navigate through the shopping process and guided us nicely through the closing. We were looking at new construction and found what we wanted in Uncasville. The process was challenging with this contractor and Allyson, thankfully was our lifeline. We would use Allyson to sell our home or to shop for another and would freely recommend her to anyone needing a prepared, qualified, engaged agent!"

"There aren't enough words . . . but here goes! My husband and I can not say enough about Allyson Cotton as our realtor who stood by us the entire step of the way into our beloved new house in Old Lyme. Allyson was a very special agent not only with her professional advice and counsel but guided us so gently but firmly to our goal--knowing what we needed to do at every juncture as we attempted to purchase during the COVID-19 Pandemic. The process through Allyson and her "A Team" was seamless during a very difficult time. She was patient, persevering and always showered her warm guidance from start to finish. Allyson innately knew the exact moments when to stand back--and when to move forward in helping with our final decisions. She is more than a very great agent--she is a special person who loves not only the end result, but the process of helping her clients realize the dream of that perfect home."
