Dan Lussier is the ONLY realtor you want on your side! Dan sold our condo quickly. Even after our…read morefirst buyer got cold feet and backed out, he proceeded to find and procure a second buyer within a week. Dan's kindness, patience, and innovativeness are rare in this day and age. He utilized social media and marketing in ways we have never seen done in real estate before, which enabled him to reach a larger pool of potential buyers than you can get through your standard open house. We highly recommend Dan to anyone and everyone!

As a Buyer, our transcontinental move from the Midwest to Connecticut to take a position at Yale seemed much less of a daunting task with Diane helping through out the process. We did the whole process "on line"from our living room couch with the help of Zoom and DocuSign. What looked good from the Zillow staged photos, looked totally different with face time and Diane's on going commentary i.e. She also talked us out of a house that looked really good on Zillow, but was not very practical or livable for us. It made us feel much more comfortable to place a bid on a house that we did not actually physically see. William Ravieis is "turn key" everything from finding the correct house, (she would send a daily updates of new prospective houses and then she would give her insight on the advantages and disadvantages of each house), to the financing, to the home inspection, to the closing, with the help of Brian Skelly (Mortgage Banker with William Ravis) it was a very smooth and organized process. She knows the real-estate business and she is always readily available to move things along and help.

My wife and I first met Greg in 2012. We had owned a small cottage in Groton Long Point and the 600…read moresq ft living area was getting too small to accommodate our summer visitors (too many sleeping bags to trip over in the morning!). By chance we ended up visiting a new build being shown by Greg and Brom Builders. Greg listened to our 'small house, small budget' dilemma. During that first interaction he without question assured us, that even though our budget was limited we could achieve a dream house. In a couple of days he took my 3 Post-It notes of the house I wanted to build, and voila! He created external and internal views on paper and by way of digital video, a complete walk-through. I was hooked. 10 months later we moved in ... we had so much fun, Greg & Brom were so much fun to work with and everyday was like Christmas, we would walk the 20 yards to our new construction (we rented another cottage right across the street and just gasped at the progress each day, admittedly I always took the evening tour with a glass of red wine so was always happy!). Now the reason I tell this story ... Greg is not just a realtor, he lives and breathes housing and construction, his enthusiasm and passion are inspirational. He knows building code inside out and can instantly tell you right from wrong. We have kept in touch with Greg throughout the years and shared a few chases on property over the period. Our latest was just a few months back where we secured our second home ... Greg freely admitted that this was his quickest purchase ever People ask me, "How can you be friends with a realtor?" ... quite easily ... He is out not to 'bone you', he enjoys the service he provides and you can tell. I may be too old to buy another house, but hey who knows if I do I will be giving him a call!

On February 2023 I submitted an inquiry at Realtor.com looking for information on a property at a…read morebuilding in Mystic, CT. Within minutes a young lady from Garden Realty was calling looking to find out additional details on our wants and needs. A few minutes later that day, I received an email from Greg Hanner with additional information on the property, the area and an introductory video of himself, his realty company and services. Later that evening, Greg called me to introduce himself already informed on the details from my conversation with his assistant. He shared his background and extensive experience on the southeastern part of CT (2022 and now for 2023 the #1 Agent of the Year for CT New London County). I told him that we were early in our search and that we weren't even sure if we were ready to buy any properties. However, if we found the right place at the right price, we would consider it. Greg was very professional and pleasant, and even with this low-level interest, he was willing to assist us in our search. Over the next few days, he shared a series of property options, his own personal experiences with other buyers, and scheduled a viewing on the original property we had inquired on. Over the next few weeks, Greg facilitated several showings, and was present at each one, very engaged, clearly informed and knowledgeable. It was also very apparent that Greg had plenty of experience in the area, as each property we saw hit many of the must-haves we were looking for. He pointed out where a compromise would be necessary along with pros and cons, at times highlighting features we would not have considered. Finally, it seemed as if Greg knew everyone as we connected with the realtors on the seller's side and others. We requested a showing at another unit in the Mystic building we liked. The unit had a renter and getting in for a viewing required some negotiating. Greg made the necessary arrangements and we there we found our dream unit! Greg helped us come up with the best and fairest offer which after some waiting (and back and forth with Greg) was accepted. Greg presented us with a bank for financing with whom he had plenty of experience and who were best suited for the area. Greg scheduled the property inspection with a local home inspection team he had worked with in the past. Greg was there throughout, asking questions, ensuring that we understood where there were areas of opportunity. From the inspection, there were a number of areas where we would need addressed at some point, so Greg negotiated a credit to the purchase price as to not disrupt the tenant to address some cosmetic issues. Overall, our experience with Greg was very positive. His knowledge of the local market, his experience as seasoned realtor, his pleasant demeanor, with and realistic expectations were exactly what we needed. A short few months later, we are happy owners of a beautiful condo unit in downtown Mystic a few minutes away from restaurants, shops and everything Mystic has to offer. Thanks Greg!!

Our home search was done from a distance which can be nerve-wracking but we felt so comfortable with her insights and judgement. She was always willing to take us on virtual tours and provide insights into the property so we could make an informed decision. She was so calm and patient even in a challenging market. She also provides a level-headed, logical approach which is particularly helpful when the inevitable emotions of purchasing a home come into play. When we finally found our dream home, Cindy went above and beyond strategizing with us over multiple conversations on how to submit the most competitive bid we could. With her assistance, we secured the home we plan to raise our family in for the next 30 plus years. She guided us through an organized and efficient closing as well. Cindy works incredibly hard for her clients, is extremely connected to the local market and we couldn't have been more thrilled with our experience.
