We wanted to share the terrible experience we had with Helen Schweitzer Realty LLC. Our intent is…read moreto help other consumers avoid the stress and anxiety dealing with the owner of this company has caused our family. In good faith we signed a 6 month contract with Mrs. Schweitzer in the hopes that she would help us sell our home for a fair price in a reasonable amount of time. During this time period Mrs. Schweitzer was extremely condescending and rude to us as clients and was putting unnecessary pressure on us to sell for well below market value. Also, during this time, one of our neighbors was reported to the local town authorities for building violations that he claims happened as soon as the 'for sale' sign went up on our property, said neighbor had to tear down two structures on his property which cost him thousands of dollars...interesting coincidence since we have been living here for 9 years and never had any issues with the structures on his property and would have never reported that to anyone. We mind our own business. This experience has left us in a much stressed state as we feel emotionally abused by this realtor. I don't recommend anyone use this company for their real estate needs. Thank you.

We had a really amazing experience buying our first home with Leslie from Houlihan Lawrence. We…read moretrusted her completely from the start, and the she was so helpful every step of the way. Specifically: - We were living 100 miles away from where we were buying, and she was so accommodating with scheduling sometimes 7 showings in one day for us since she knew coming up to town wasn't easy for us. - We initially weren't 100% sure of the exact town we wanted to end up in, so in the beginning she was happy to show us around houses in Garrison, Cold Spring, Beacon, and the surrounding areas. She never made us feel like a nuisance or inconvenience. - She was super knowledgable - everything from "you'd want to ask an inspector about this boiler" to general town information to the specifics of the home-buying process. She also provided us with contact info for some local professional services, but was not "salesy" in doing so. All of her tips felt genuine with no pressure. - She was very patient and positive. The home we landed on was a renovation in-progress, so the process from contract to closing was a bit long and complicated. But she stayed dedicated, available, and helpful every step of the way. She went to the town several times to check on documentation, contacted sellers many times for progress updates to share, and informed us of important info we should ask about from our lawyer. She even checked in on us after closing to make sure we were settling in comfortably. All together, Leslie from Houlihan Lawrence made buying our first home much simpler and more enjoyable than we had expected and we are so grateful to her! Attentive, knowledgeable, patient, and empathetic... we highly recommend any buyers/sellers work with her.

He introduced to me the equally phenomenal Sruthi Gaddam and offered his advice every moment that I needed. My living situation in my house at the time was a uniquely difficult one to navigate, and thankfully, I had Mikey and Sruthi with me the whole time. Mikey helped me capture what I needed in a sale and also helped me make sure that I wouldn't make a bad decision that would potentially hurt me in the long run. After a horrible experience two years prior with the realtor for the purchase of my house, having Mikey for the sale of it was incredibly refreshing and different. I am so thankful to have met with him, and even now, I know that he'll be around when I'm ready for my next purchase.

Lisa Briscoe in the Ridgefield office was our realtor for buying and selling a home. I think if I…read moreuse all the superlatives that come to mind when describing Lisa, this review will seem fake. But here goes anyway! Lisa was the exact opposite of that stereotypical realtor. She was not pushy or salesy in any way and was simply helpful, honest, incredibly useful, diligent, communicative, available at all hours and simply put amazing! She is also a really great person which eventually becomes important because you end up spending a lot of time with your realtor! We sold our house through a short sale and if you know anything about that, you know the process is incredibly frustrating and time-consuming (not to mention not exactly the most transparent of processes!). Lisa was thorough and stayed on top of every detail and was constantly hounding the bank for us. Which is exactly what you need to do in order to push a short sale through. If you are buying, selling, renting or considering a short sale in Fairfield County, please, PLEASE call Lisa. We had such an amazing experience with Lisa that we now consider her a friend and we regularly get together. How many people can say that about their realtor? In short (or long depending on your perspective), Lisa Briscoe is the best realtor in Fairfield County, and most likely the entire universe.

Ridgefield Ct, agent helen rasmussen…read more To say that my husband and I were grateful having Helen Rasmussen as our agent is an understatement. Although we were first time home buyers, we dealt with other agents before meeting Helen. Being a first time home buyer can be such a daunting experience, but with Helen it was anything but that. Upon meeting her, we knew we had hit gold. Not only is she a fierce agent, but also amazing as we got to know her personally. She was extremely patient, knowledgeable, and always made sure that we understood everything about the process. She always had our best interests above anything else. She would call, text and email us any new listings or any info on homes she thought would spark our interest. No words on paper could ever explain our gratitude for being able to work with Helen. We experienced highs and lows together, from births to deaths, Helen was there. Because of her we are living our our dreams in our beautiful home. We wouldn't recommend anyone but Helen. Thank you Helen for all you did for us!
