This is for 236 Boston Post Road, Orange, CT 06477, 203-795-6000…read more We sold a home with an agent from Coldwell Banker and the first few meetings were fine but once hired, the agent appeared increasingly more concerned with the potential buyers and her cut than what we wanted or needed. We were honest about our position from the beginning. We wanted to sell our home but we did not NEED to so we weren't go to just take any offer. But we repeatedly heard, "Well, the buyer needs..." - Excuse me? We, the sellers, hired you! Then, our garage door was broken not once, but twice during showings and they assumed no responsibility what so ever. If had only been once, we may have been more understanding. The first time it happened I was able to get back there before the end of the showing and fix it before more damage was done. The second time it happened, I wasn't there and we had to have it professionally repaired. The agent called and tried to tell me it looked as though someone backed into our door. She tried to cover it up knowing it happened before and the type of damage was identical. We called her on it but the response we got was, "Well, you don't expect me to pay for it!!" Yes, actually. We, and she, knew it was one of three prospects that broke the door and she did nothing to help clarify at which showing it happened. We were upset by the damage and the attitude so the agent had the manager, Aileen, contact us who had the nerve to advise us to contact the police and report it as vandalism!! Aside from being untrue, they encouraged us to file a fraudulent report with the police!!! When Overhead Door came to repair it, they knew just by looking at the door from the outside that the someone locked the door and then tried to open it with the electric door opener as we'd known all along. Overhead Door was kind enough to put it in writing but Coldwell Banker could have cared less and we had to pay for the repair out of pocket. Every step of the way, there was something that we couldn't do or shouldn't do and it clearly wasn't appreciated when I questioned what I was told by the agent. If the sale hadn't gone through, we would have fired them and hired another firm when the contract period w/Coldwell ended. They're more interested in making their money as quickly as possible than anything else. In the end, it was a toss up as to what we were happier to be done with - the condo or Coldwell Banker. Do not hire this firm. There are much better out there. Well known or years of experience does NOT mean well suited. Buyer beware and go elsewhere!

Still waiting on these people in Orange CT house still not closing yet. I'm close to end my…read moreapartment lease and they still slacking. Did you know they don't get up from their desk to check if the property is ready. Why put a house for sale if you don't even travel to the surrounding towns West Hartford, East Hartford, Bloomfield, Newington and others. Just because they are about 50 min to 1 hour away. I already told my friends and family if you buying a house and it says Coldwell Banker to run fast not to waste their time on these people. I cannot believe buying a house is such a awful experience with these people. So buyers if you have lots of time to wait they are for you but for those looking to move soon definitely it's not for you. I will keep you posted once I have a closing date because I will be coming back to address this issue every month until I'm actually in the house. Have a blessed day because we still have to believe in miracles.

We just happened to be paired with Chris Carey, and how lucky we were! He was communicative and clear at every point of the process, readily available, and always was realistic about what our options were. As first time homebuyers we were nervous about finding someone we could trust and make our dream a reality, as we were hoping to find and close on a home in a relatively short period of time. With Chris we felt confident that his experience would get us there, and we were right. He was able to find the perfect house for us. Right after seeing it we knew it was the one! Even at the last minute Chris worked tirelessly to make sure we were able to close on time (and quickly) so that we could enjoy our first home together before my husband goes overseas. They made the process as stress-free as it can be, something we know not many people can say. We would recommend Chris, and Carey and Guarrera to anyone who's looking to buy and sell their home!

She didn't…read moresimply guide us through the process (which, I'll add, she did so wonderfully), but she really cared about finding the exact right fit for us. She never pushed us to make a decision too quickly, tried to convince us that we needed something more expensive than our range, or tried to brush away our concerns in favor of trying to close a deal. In fact, Melanie's knowledge and attention to detail caught red flags in properties that we never would have known to look for, saving us wasted time or even major headaches had we moved forward with those properties! Melanie is extremely detail-oriented and frequently was reaching out with properties she thought were a good fit (and they genuinely were properties that met our specific requirements -- not some general email blast). She is also extremely responsive and very fast at setting up showings, which is so crucial in such a fast-paced market. When we finally found "the one", Melanie worked tirelessly to make sure we closed quickly and on time. She even helped us negotiate with the seller after the inspection to put some money back in our pockets. She really didn't have to do that, as she knew the deal was going to go through regardless. But she genuinely went above and beyond what she had to do, and for that we are so grateful. In fact, we raved about Melanie so much that the owner of the condo we were renting hired her to sell the condo after we moved out (it closed in less than two months!!)
