When it came time to list our home, a friend recommended we reach out to Andy. From the moment Andy arrived at our house, my wife and I knew we had the perfect person. As expected, Andy and his team did an amazing job helping us get ready to sell, find an excellent buyer and take the process from idea to closure. Our sale was completely stress free, primarily because everything Andy and his team did was professional, efficient and effective. Thank you and we hope to see you again!
Andy Sachs came highly recommended when my wife and I decided to sell our house and begin the journey looking for a new, larger house for our family. Andy was patient throughout the process and extremely well informed regarding the local markets in Southbury and Newtown. Andy was very responsive to our numerous questions and provided clear, well thought out advice. We are extremely thankful for Andy and The Around Town Team’s professionalism and guidance throughout the home buying/selling process. Selling and buying a home is a stressful process. However, with Andy and his Team of resources to support and guide you, the process will be that much easier and efficient. We proudly recommend Andy to our family and friends for all their home buying/selling needs.
Working with Andy was both a pleasure and rewarding experience. Beginning almost two years before we put our house up for sale, Andy visited us and gave his recommendations as to what improvements would help our sale go quickly. His team then helped prepare a professional portfolio and staging plan. As a result our “pocket listing” sold after only two showings for higher than asking price.
Andy Sachs combined his expertise, diligence, and that all too important aspect of “hand holding” to help shepherd us through the nutty home buying experience indicative of this current housing market. His knowledge is so impressive (and comforting) as it extends well beyond the real estate market and structuring offer strategies into current economic conditions, interest rates, renovation ideas, and seemingly endless referrals to necessary local service providers. Definitely above and beyond value-added for anyone relocating to the area. I could probably go on! But in a nutshell, within the first few minutes of talking to him, you know immediately that you’re in good hands with Andy as your Realtor. And…that feeling only increases as you continue working with him. Thank you Andy for guiding us through these last few months. We love the house we ended up in!
We have had the pleasure of working with Andy twice, once as a buyer broker in 2013 and again in 2021-2022. Why do I say 2021-2022? Because Andy is not your transactional realtor, out for only the sale. When we told him we were looking to move in the summer of 2022, in the fall of 2021, he went to work. He came over and laid out a plan for what we should do 6 months in advance and step by step to get the house sold. When it came time for remodeling, he joined us and helped determine the most “bang for the buck” that would also move the house quickly, at a great and realistic price. We worked together coming up with a catchy listing, which the buyer later told us made him laugh and look further. He ensured we were pricing the house correctly using data analytics, so we would achieve our goals, which was harder with the changing interest rate/real estate market. We have a huge success story for our family in 2022, and Andy was mission critical to this being achieved. You want to fail? Use someone else. You want to win, call our forever family friend Andy.
Could not be more satisfied with all stages of the selling process! We initially selected Danielle Valenti as our agent based upon her online marketing. From the initial meeting, Danielle was thoroughly prepared: market knowledge, staging/photos options, home pricing, etc. She priced our home competitively, and we received multiple offers after our first weekend on the market. Danielle presented the offers in a detailed way that charted pros/cons, which allowed us to carefully review them and pick the best one. We were also impressed by Danielle’s quick replies to our texts, calls, and emails (often within minutes of sending them), which kept us up to date with all stages of the selling process. Danielle also worked closely with our lawyer (we asked for a recommendation) and our bank mortgage representative. We are now in search of our next home to buy, and we are confident that Danielle will be just as effective, caring, and professional as she was when we were sellers. We highly recommend Danielle Valenti without reservations!
Danielle from the start was hard at work at finding our home. She knew what area we wanted, style of house, and price range we where looking for. Her knowledge of the landscape of today’s market was second to none and if she was unsure on something she made it a point to obtain that information for us. During a stressful time, Danielle made the process as comfortable and fun as possible. My wife and I appreciate all Danielle’s hard work to find a excellent home for us.
Our home search was long and arduous. Yet, Danielle stood by us with good humor, patience, and intelligent guidance and advice. She thoroughly understood our style, budget, needs, and desires, and brought us to only appropriate options. Thanks to Danielle, we found our next home and she continued to share her expertise throughout the closing process. She is the consummate professional and I highly recommend her services, if you have such good fortune.
Buying a house in this market is no easy feat, and it took us the better part of a year to find our home. We were so lucky to have Danielle by our side, guiding us through the process with skill and ease. Danielle had a very clear sense of who we are and what we wanted in a house, as well as extensive knowledge of the market, and she wasn't afraid to give it to us straight. A house is a major investment, and Danielle offered invaluable advice on whether a given property would work for us and if it was a smart investment based on cost and needed upgrades. When we finally found our house, we were confident that it was the right choice for us, and thanks to Danielle's guidance, we were able to make a strong offer to beat out competitors. In the end, Danielle helped us find a great deal on a great property that met a lot of our unique needs. She was a fantastic partner to have through what could be a challenging process, and we couldn't recommend her enough!
Danielle is passionate at what she does and is very knowledgeable and professional. She was responsive when we found a house that we wanted to view, and provided all the information we needed throughout the process for a trouble free experience. She was able to work around our busy schedule, and had very insightful viewpoints on every house we viewed. Danielle was more than just a realtor, she truly wanted to see us happy with our first home and did everything in her power to make sure we had all the information available. We would love to work with Danielle again in the future and would recommend her to anyone who is looking to buy or sell!
In making one of the most significant financial decisions in your life, you want to work with someone you can trust. My wife and I had lived in the area for a few years but did not know anyone who would be able to help us find our “forever home.” Honestly, we were anxious about trusting someone with this process, especially with the salesy reputation that is sometimes associated with professionals in the real estate industry. Kris came recommended by a friend, so we thought working with him was as good a place as any to start. From jump, Kris was genuine, knowledgeable, and a great listener. In a historically chaotic market and throughout what was an aggressive search (as we were also expecting our first child), he was a guide that we grew to trust and appreciate more than words can describe. As we were naive to much of the process, he responded to our questions often within minutes. In the weeks before closing, our home insurance agent had been MIA, and because our mortgage company had not received our insurance binder, our closing was at risk of being delayed. The day before closing, Kris took it upon himself to solve the issue within a couple of hours. This small but critical response happened multiple times throughout the process, and he was prompt and effective at solving these issues EVERY time. To put it concisely and bluntly, I believe that we would still be searching for a home if it were not for Kris’ guidance. My wife and I do not provide recommendations haphazardly, as we feel that they should be sincere and reflect a truly rare and valuable experience. Whoever might be reading this, if you are looking for a realtor, Kris is THE person you want by your side throughout the process. Period. Full stop.
In a recent employment interview, I was asked to relate my most positive experience as a customer/consumer. Without even a moments hesitation I conveyed the professionalism, expert knowledge and sincere commitment of Kris Kling when searching for the perfect home. From beginning to end and beyond! By far, the only real estate contact you will ever require. 5+5 stars!
Kris was the best from the start of our selling process to its finish. We felt like ours was the only home Kris was selling. He was attentive, responsive, meticulous on the details and he had a great pulse on the market. He made it easy for us. We highly recommend Kris!
Kris Kling is an exceptional realtor. His professional assistance with the negotiations, home inspections, financial lenders and closing process made the sale and purchase of my new home a pleasant experience. His ability to connect me with several local services was greatly appreciated. Kris is a true professional and genuinely nice guy. He demonstrates a strong work ethic that is uncommon these days. His communication skills are one of his many strengths. He responds quickly to calls/emails/texts and checks in on a regular basis, Kris is an asset to the Keller Williams team and to the community. You will not find a more professional, knowledgeable or honest realtor. I will be recommending him to family and friends when they have future real estate needs.
Kris not only listened to us as to what we were looking for, but he delivered. We were looking for a home for years with no luck. We hired Kris and everything went so smoothly . He not only is a knowledgable realtor, but he cares about his clients and it shows. Every step of the way Kris was the first realtor we ever worked with that actually broke down the ENTIRE buying process. So clear and professional. Kris was quick to respond and even went to look at a house in an ice storm, which ended up being our family home. We HIGHLY recommend Kris Kling for your home buying process. Thank you Kris.
We recently used Jen for both the sale of our old home and the purchase of a new home. We specifically chose Jen due to her knowledge and experience in multiple towns within Connecticut. We were selling in Danbury and buying in Trumbull and very few agents seemed to have market knowledge of both of those towns. Jen has previously worked in both and knew both areas very well. We were very impressed by both Jen's professionalism and dedication. She was patient with us while we weighed our options, and showed us many different homes so we could narrow down what we were looking for. She also was able to get an accepted offer on our home fast (11 days on the market) for over 98% of the list price. We also found our purchase home late in the game and Jen was able to get that deal done in about 30 days. Jen also has a list of local vendors that she's worked with before and vetted (lawyers, inspectors, movers etc...) we used all people from her list and were very happy with all of them. Overall we're very happy with the outcome of our sale and purchase and would definitely use Jen again for any real estate needs!!… [Read full reviews on Zillow]

We can not recommend Jennifer Kelley enough! As first time home buyers coming from Brooklyn we never imagined the process could be so painless. Jen has great knowledge of the area, useful tips and info for first time buyers and a fun but always professional demeanor. She was always responsive, and happy to hop on a call with us to answer any of our endless questions. Jen made an effort to get to know us and our unique style, and in doing so played a key part in one of the biggest decisions of our life. Definitely work with Jen Kelley!… [Read full reviews on Zillow]
Jen is a fantastic agent! We worked with Jen and her colleague, Lauren Auresto, on the purchase of one home and sale of another. Jen took the lead on the purchase and was always accessible.

We would recommend her to anyone looking for a great realtor!… [Read full reviews on Zillow]

Where do I begin?! Jennifer was first of all very personable and makes you feel as if you are her only client when she is with you. You are her priority and she listens! My fiancé and I were on a tight budget and also had a pretty small window of time before our wedding, to find our first home!! It was a lot of work and I was thinking we would end up purchasing a condo. My fiancé, however was set on our own home! Jen not only made it happen but found us the perfect fit in the neighborhood we wanted and under our budget!!!!! It was such a huge help!!! There were certain things that needed to be done, Ike any other home on the market. Jen worked really hard and ended up getting us a very fair credit at closing! I can’t tell you how much she did for us! You won’t be sorry! Jen deserves 10 more stars!… [Read full reviews on Zillow]

Jennifer Kelley was great to work with. As first time home buyers she made us feel so comfortable every step of the way in the home buying process.

She is the consummate professional.… [Read full reviews on Zillow]
Excellent job by Andrew in making the home buying process easy as possible. Always ready to answer questions and resolve issues in a timely manner.
Andrew was incredibly helpful and communicative throughout the whole process of selling our house.
I had a great experience working with Andrew. He was professional, knowledgeable and responsive. I am very thankful for his guidance through out the entire process.
Andrew was wonderful to work with and very professional. He sold my condo in 4 days and I got the dollar amount I was expecting. I would highly recommend him.Many thanks, Joanne Grailich
Working with Andrew was an absolute dream! He navigated my husband and I through the process of selling our home; from a designer coming over for advice on staging, arranging a photographer to take the photos and listing our home. He made every step so easy, gave incredible guidance, and was prompt with every move he made for us. Andrew always had our best interest, we are so thankful to have had Andrew both sell and help us purchase our dream home.
I would probably still be trying to sell my house if it wasn’t for Chris. From day 1, I knew I was in good hands. Not only did he manage everything with professionalism, ease, and in a timely manner but he managed to calm my nerves simultaneously. When issues arose, Chris remained steady and calm and always understood what was needed to solve the problems. I dreaded the process but he made it feel effortless. And most importantly, Chris was honest and ethical in all dealings. If you need someone to help you buy or sell a house, please do not hesitate to contact Chris. You will breathe easier knowing he’s working for you!
I’m a local builder in Newtown. I met Chris Haggerty in 2019 when he represented a buyer of one my homes. I’ve stayed in touch with Chris throughout the years. He represented me on the sale of another house in 2021 and will be listing another house for me in the next couple of months. One of the best things about working with Chris is that he is a builder himself. He’s very knowledgeable about all aspects of home construction and remodeling which is really beneficial to both buyers and sellers. I highly recommend him.
I had the pleasure of working with Chris around this time last year when we were thinking of selling our house. Not only did he have me to deal with but my parents too. My parents and I decided to combine households and do the whole multi-generational living thing so Chris sure had his work cut out for him as the market was crazy and we needed something with the potential for an in-law. Chris was always sure to make himself available as quickly as possible whenever I found a house we wanted to check out. Both of our houses were under contract in a matter of two days. He made the entire process easy and painless as the thought of buying and selling two homes was super stressful to me. Chris went above and beyond by offering help to pack us up and help us move. I can say that not only did we gain a friend for life but someone who has become like family and there is no better feeling. I would recommend Chris to anyone looking to buy or sell their home!
We had a very positive experience with Chris Haggerty as our realtor. We used Chris for the sale of our house as well as the purchase of another house. Chris was a professional throughout the entire process. He had our best interests in mind during the sale as well as the purchase of a home. When asked for his honest opinion on things, Chris did not hesitate to share his thoughts. He was the “go to” person and pointed out positives as well as negatives along the way. I would highly recommend Chris to anyone who is in the market either selling or purchasing real estate.
I would highly recommend Chris Haggerty to represent anyone in a real estate transaction. Chris is a skilled negotiator with a great understanding of state and local regulations. He recently represented my family in a move and we could not have done it without his assistance. Chris is patient and professional and will answer all your questions in a complete and thoughtful manner. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. He went above and beyond in getting us into our new home
From the moment we first met with Mikayla, we knew we were in good hands. She is professional and personable, qualities that made this experience both easy and fun. The few times we needed Mikayla to respond to urgent communication, she made herself available and offered immediate solutions to help us move forward positively with our home purchase. Even at the closing table, Mikayla kept our best interests in mind and supported a possible delayed closing until we were fully satisfied. We would absolutely recommend Mikayla and hope others benefit from her hard work, dedication, industry knowledge, and passion just as we have.… [Read full reviews on Zillow]
I can’t even say enough about how amazing Mikayla is! We worked with her in selling our condo and purchasing a new home. She made sure to explain everything to us at every stage of the buying process, and ensured that we understood all of our options. Everyone knows how terrible the market is right now, but Mikayla never let us lose hope even after being outbid so many time, she took every loss personally and I could tell that she was genuinely sad for us and our family when we had to go back to looking. She never gave up, and was just as excited for us to find our dream home as we were! Even though I hope we never have to move again, I know that if we do we will work with Mikayla again without hesitation, and I’ve already started recommending her to anyone looking for their home because I know she will make them feel like they’re her most important clients like she always did with us. We will be forever grateful for Mikayla and everything she’s done for us, and I can’t wait to continue to update her with pictures of our little home improvements in the future!… [Read full reviews on Zillow]

Mikayla is an extremely professional and passionate agent. My spouse and I are strong personalities and, as second-time homebuyers with some personal real estate experience, we definitely tested Mikayla and she did an amazing job! She worked hard and stayed patient as she helped us find our dream home, after almost 40 showings! We were looking for a unique home with a large property in northern Fairfield County, which became a huge challenge in an extremely competitive pandemic market. Mikayla remained supportive and optimistic, while constantly accommodating our schedules to view homes. Mikayla was consistent with her communication with other agents and was able to help get our offer accepted while competing in a multiple offer bidding situation. Once under contract, Mikayla worked tirelessly to provide us a smooth, amicable transaction with the sellers. We couldn't be happier to recommend Mikayla to anyone moving forward, whether you are a first time home buyer or are looking to purchase your forever home, she will be a great asset for anyone.… [Read full reviews on Zillow]

Look no further- - you need Mikayla as your realtor!!! Mikayla is extremely professional, knowledgeable and hard working. She is quick to respond, excellent in advising through the process and a masterful negotiator. As a first time home buyer, she made the process feel incredibly smooth and easy. Everyone we spoke to told us that our process was an absolute anomaly - it was fast, easy and nearly stress-free. I attribute this entirely to Mikayla. She listens attentively, getting to know you in order to direct the process effectively, she knows what to look for and is always prepared. In addition to all of this, she is kind, funny and a joy to be around. She even bakes yummy snacks for the longer days to make sure you don't get hungry, and remembers the important moments in your life. You can tell that this isn't just business for Mikayla. She cares about her clients as human beings, and in the world today -- what more could you ask for?… [Read full reviews on Zillow]

Mikayla truly cares about helping you find exactly what you are looking for and you can tell that she loves what she does.

In addition to helping us find our new home Mikayla did an excellent job helping us sell our previous home.… [Read full reviews on Zillow]
Mikayla was recommended to me by a friend and coworker, and I'm so glad she did. Mikayla made the hectic homebuying experience very refreshing with her positive attitude. I appreciated her excitement and enthusiasm while we were viewing homes, and her candor and real talk when it came to serious discussions. Overall my best experience with a realtor. She didn't pressure you to buy a home like other realtors I've worked with tend to do, making the decision exclusively your own. Highly recommend her!!… [Read full reviews on Zillow]
Mikayla is HANDS DOWN the BEST realtor you can find. She is intelligent, precise, kind hearted, knowledgeable, experienced, polite, professional and so much more.

She remained accessible and communicative to both myself and the other parties involved in both transactions - the sale of my house and purchase of my new home! When my closing date was unexpectedly moved up, she was able to stay calm in a stressful situation and manage many logistics to allow me to close on both properties on the same day. She helped turn my dream house into a home and my home into a happy memory!… [Read full reviews on Zillow]
