What do Clients Say?

"Expert market analysis and strong advertising skills" We wanted to take a moment to thank you for all your efforts which ensured us a quick sale while exceeding our expectations on the price. With your guidance, some staging, and your ability to utilize all of the Internet tools, we had three offers to choose from in less then 7 days and a closing not long after. If it was not for your expert market analysis and strong advertising skills, we would probably not have gotten the price we did.

-Don and Lynda C.

"A high level of professionalism" My wife and I recently sold and purchased a new home. As a Fairfield County real estate attorney, I have personally witnessed the high level of professionalism that Judy brings to the table in the many transactions we have worked on together. Out of the numerous real estate brokers that I have come in contact with, I wanted Judy to be our agent. In my experience, Judy is one of the few brokers who takes a proactive stance and strategizes with the attorney to negotiate the most favorable deal possible for her clients. I have now had the opportunity to work with Judy not only as attorney, but also as client. Selling and buying a primary residence is an emotional experience, and one needs proper brokerage and legal guidance throughout the process. Judy was able to anticipate the marketing issues we would encounter and diffuse the headaches they might have otherwise caused. Her advice was simply superb. In the end, with Judy's seasoned brokerage experience, we were able to sell our residence easier than we expected, and found the home of our dreams

She Responded Immediately to Our Call." "My husband happened to be complaining to our dentist about our real estate agents' service. Our dentist gave us your name, praised your service to him, and urged us to get in touch with you." "You responded immediately to our call, arranged to see us, and came to our home at the exact time we arranged. This alone would have endeared us to Judy, but when she arrived (after braving our mountainous driveway, climbing three flights of stairs, still looking cool and collected) on just about the hottest day in September,... well, my husband and I just looked at each other in wonder." "Judy did not show any lack of interest just because we were renting and no big sale was involved. Judy treated our rental like a million dollar sale, communicated offers, found us excellent tenants, ironed out differences, and had contracts ready in record time." "We are sure that she regards all of this as "just her job", but, to us, this is quality service. When our tenants decided to renew for another year, one phone call to Judy yielded new contracts delivered to our doorstep practically overnight." "We will continue to recommend Judy to family and friends."

"I admire your capability to foresee the market" Thank you very much for your efforts and help when Alice and I have sold our home in Westport. This was not an easy decision for us to sell the house where we have lived for 16 years. But your understanding of our complexity helped us tremendously. You have been very patient and led us to make proper decision with appropriate advices. You have completely understood Alices's mentality and within that limit you have performed extremely professional and efficient work for us. Frankly speaking, your suggested list price was not the highest. But the pricing was the right one. I admire your capability to foresee the market very accurately. I also admire your capability to observe the house with very neutral yet accurate eyes. Even we could not see the many features of our house but you could see these features right away and reflected to your listing with very accurate manner. All of these capabilities in you materialized extremely quick and satisfactory sales for both us and buyer. Whenever I talk to friends about which kind of process we have been through, they could not believe how simple and efficient the process we had. Judy, again, both of us are extraordinarily happy about your services. We greatly appreciate your job done for us.

-Mako and Alice Obara

She Inspired Me! I have tried to sell my home off and on for the last twelve years. Since I live out of state, I decided to research agents on the Internet. I set up four appointments, and Judy was the second interview. I called off the remaining two interviews. I knew I had found the right agent for the job. She inspired me as someone who really knew her business and who was ambitious. Throughout the entire time Judy kept me updated on every little move, found new strategies and new angles and always had a reassuring attitude that was not filled with false hopes or misleading estimates. She told me she could sell my home for a certain price, and, indeed, true to her word she got that price. A note from my lawyer, who has dealt with many real estate agents--"She really knows her business. She's always friendly and supportive, and she keeps a close eye on everything." I completely agree. If there is any award for selling a home---and I know mine was not an easy sell---it should go to Judy Szablak.
