Kaori represented us in more than one transaction and we highly recommend her to any looking to sell (or buy) in the Greenwich/Stamford area! Kaori provided us with calm, thoughtful and strategic guidance at every step of the process – and is a skilled collaborator, addressing all our questions (small to big) without ever missing a beat! She was flexible as our plans changed, stayed with us for the long haul and when we wanted to move quickly, she was incredibly responsive. She got our house on the market with very little lead time when we sensed there was a local market opportunity. Kaori listened to our needs and constraints, gave us options and a...

"In an area where there is an oversupply of real estate agents, we chose Victoria Tashash. Victoria has the drive, the intelligence, the knowledge, the skills! We've experienced them all! Victoria helped us locate, negotiate and buy our house in Connecticut. Throughout this sometimes grueling process Victoria always went the extra mile, educated and supported us and gave over 100%. This really differentiates her from the competition and made our house hunt an enjoyable, successful adventure."

It was a pleasure working with you. I wanted to take a minute and thank you for all your guidance and support throughout the process of finding the perfect home. I also want to thank you for being patient and flexible, you showed us every possible option available. You are very professional, knowledgeable and dedicated. You will definitely be the first person I would think of if anyone asks me if I know a realtor.

A very impressive first impression was followed by honest and practical advice throughout the entire process . Her enthusiasm; timely communication and recommendations, based on experience and knowledge of the market, were spot-on! I could not have asked for better representation. Kudos to North Country Real Estate.

Allie was great to work with, always very responsive, helpful, friendly and professional. She knows her stuff and always went above and beyond for us. Will definitely use her for future purchases and highly recommend her!!

Victoria, thank you so much for everything you've done. This was an utterly seamless process, and it couldn't have been done without you. We're thrilled with the house and location, and look forward to settling in there. We're also looking forward to seeing you when we move up!"

"Victoria, we have so many reasons to thank you.. For finding us great properties and helping us with our retirement dream. For coming out to meet us at the weekends in awful weather.For making the process of buying so easy.But most of all for being a lovely person. It is a pleasure to work with you."

I had an incredible experience with Emily Brahms! She was a huge help throughout the whole process and answered all my questions. Super professional and kind. Would be very grateful to be able to work with her again in the future. I recommend her 100%.

Emily is a great realtor who goes the extra mile for her clients. She has lived in the Greenwich are for almost a decade which really shows - she can help newcomers to the area feel at home and help decide the best neighborhood, schools and bids to make. You'll be happy you hired her to find your dream home.

Emily is a true professional! She expertly marketed our home, resulting in a quick sale at a great price. Her communication was excellent, keeping us informed every step of the way. We were particularly impressed with Emily's ability to navigate a competitive market and secure a great offer for our property.

I highly recommend Emily Brahms as your Greenwich realtor. Not only is this amazing town the place she resides giving her access to all the ins and outs of Greenwich, but she knows the best neighborhoods and streets to recommend to home buyers. You can’t go wrong by choosing Emily as your realtor.

Emily’s professionalism and market know-how is second to none. As a salesperson, she is proficient, dedicated, and caring. As we continue to search for a new home in Fairfield County, we will continue to work with Mrs. Brahms.

Colleen and Floria are as good as it gets! True professionals and great people! They were not only instrumental in selling our primary residence in CT but helped introduce us to our realtor in Florida which made all the difference. Highest of recommendations and will be personally referring more clients their way!

We could not be more thrilled with our new home. We are sincerely appreciative for the expertise of Floria Polverari and her partner Colleen. While we looked for our perfect new home, for 7 years… we only asked to see - and saw - 7 homes. Floria understood. We were patient and VERY particular, not willing to settle, and we were not going to waste anyone’s time. Once we saw this listing it was “all hands on deck”! Floria and Colleen jumped on the listing and took care of everything. They know the market, they knew what we needed to offer, and we GOT our dream home. It meets every single point on our check list and was worth the wait. Once we closed, ...

Julie and Brandy bring so much vision to selling a home, and with real life results. We couldn’t be happier with the outcome. And just as meaningful, they really care and were 100% there for us at every stage of the process. So much appreciation for these two! And the whole Vanderblue team

It was an absolute pleasure working with Margaret McCannon and Brandy Hall from the Vanderblue Team! Moving is already a challenge, but relocating halfway across the country with two little kids is another level of stress. From the moment we met Margaret and Brandy, their genuine kindness and professionalism stood out. The way they communicated and carried themselves immediately put us at ease. Their deep knowledge of the real estate market and Fairfield County reassured us that we were in great hands throughout the entire process. Selling a home comes with so many pressures—preparing the house, packing, figuring out family schedules for showings, ...

Julie and the team at Vanderblue were not only incredibly hardworking in selling our house in Greenfield Hill, but also intelligent in their thinking and marketing of our property. They also found us a great home in Southport which we love. Thank you for all your help.

Julie and her team offer so much more than any other Real Estate agents! Creative marketing, many divisions to help buyers and sellers in unique situations, great communication, and follow-up. I was so comfortable working on both the buy and sell of my primary home that I started investing and flipping homes. I recommend them to anyone looking to buy, rent, sell or invest in real estate.

Mariana Patrone and Julie Vanderblue were very professional and informed realtors. Their expertise helped to sell our home very quickly. They were always in communication with us and helped with the many questions we asked. Joe and I will gladly and highly recommend the Vanderblue Team

Julie Vanderblue and her team helped secure an amazing space for our organization, giving it a more professional look and easier access for our members. The new space allows the Chamber to not only sustain our business, but expand and grow. The Vanderblue Team is extremely community oriented and very involved in not only the best interests of their clients, but also the communities they serve. As President of the Fairfield Chamber of Commerce, we are grateful that Julie is a member of our Board of Directors, and we see firsthand, her passion for Fairfield.

My husband and I moved from California to Fairfield County and we did not have a friend. Thankfully we met the best friend home buyers could ever meet in Julie Vanderblue. Julie’s deep knowledge of both our purchased home and community reflected in her lifestyle story of the home and community video on the town, was just the beginning of her help with our home remodeling and maintenance. Simply it, she’s the BEST!

While I do not often post I needed to make some comment about our work selling our home with the Vanderblue Team and specially Julie Vanderblue and Mariana Patrone. From our very first meeting in our backyard through the closing they were always there for us, incredibly responsive and helpful, thoughtful, honest, and forward thinking. Selling our home after being there for 27 years and moving to another State was overwhelming but I Julie and Mariana (and their team) anticipated our needs, handled the staging, photo shoots, printed materials, and literally everything with first rate professionalism, The crispness of the materials and even how the For...

Working with Chris Sinatra of The Vanderblue Team was a dream. He is professional, proficient, personable and his patience knows no bounds. It was truly the smoothest listing to closing we have ever experienced. He will forever be our "go to" guy for all things real estate.

Extremely knowledgeable, trustworthy, a veteran agent are some of the qualities you receive when working with Chris Sinatra! A great agent!!

As the owner of a home inspection company for 30 years, I have worked with thousands of real estate agents. I’ve worked with Chris Sinatra for 10 of those years and it’s always a pleasure. He is friendly, personal, professional and always puts the best interest of his client before the sale. I’ve seen Chris talk his client’s out of buying a house due to unfavorable conditions. I would highly recommend Chris to family and friends. He is a true professional!

We reached out to Chris Sinatra because a home near our previous one sold quickly. Mr. Sinatra got back to us within the same day and set up a date for a meeting. Throughout our whole experience Chris was present, consistent, thorough, informative and professional. If we had any questions, Chis would find answers. With those answers, Chris would give an explanation and made sure that we all understood what was going on. Every week he would check-in with us to make sure we were all on the same page. If any new updates came in we were contacted that same evening. It was a pleasure to work with Chris Sinatra and I highly recommend him as your Realtor

Loved working with Chrissie for our long distance move. She was attentive, listened to what we wanted and ended up finding our perfect home after a several month search in a tough housing market. She went above and beyond what any realtor has done and has given us great recommendations/suggestions for local dining/services even after the purchase of our home. Could not be happier

Working with Christina, Ellen and the Vanderblue team was such a great experience. Not only do they know the real estate market well, as a good broker should, but they made the entire process smooth and enjoyable. Thank you so much for helping us find exactly what we needed!

I had such an incredible experience working with Ellen McNees and Christina McVaney from The Vanderblue Team. They were so professional and knowledgeable throughout our entire home buying process. As first-time homebuyers, my husband and I relied heavily on them. I would recommend the both of them in a heartbeat. I trust them wholeheartedly with their expertise in the Fairfield market. We built such a great relationship with them!!

We are writing to highly recommend as exceptional real estate professionals both Ellen McNees and Cristina McVaney of The Vanderblue Team at Higgins Group. We had the pleasure of working with them this past spring on the marketing of our property in Westport. Their professionalism truly set them apart from the outset. Throughout the entire aspect of the real estate process they demonstrated excellent communication and organizational skills. They provided us with valuable insight and guidance in marketing our property. We were so pleased with the entire experience and would gladly use them again and highly refer to all we know. Thank you… Vanderblue!!

Colleen is professional, honest, and amazing to work with! We used two other realtor's services before we met Colleen and she blew them out of the water. She works extremely hard and is darn good at what she does. Her expertise and attention to detail is unmatched. We trusted her 100% throughout the buying process and would absolutely use her services again in the future!

I cannot speak more highly of this team. We met with Colleen Murray to talk about the sale of our home and wanting to purchase our second and forever home and from our initial conversation and throughout the whole process, Colleen was very professional, she was highly knowledgeable about the local market and made sure we always felt like a priority. From selling our first home (at over asking price) to finding our dream and forever home, we’re so glad we chose Vanderblue Team for our real estate process needs and made this otherwise stressful event a smooth and successful process. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for top-notch real estate ...

Working with Ellen in finding and purchasing our new home in Fairfield County was a wonderful experience. She brings a wealth of knowledge of the area. She is the consummate professional, always available to assist with every need. Ellen was always at the ready to answer our questions in a most timely manner. She goes the extra mile to get her clients what they want in terms of a new home. It’s easy to see that Ellen loves what she does. She is a quite simply the best!

Divorce and moving are among the most stressful life events—and too often, they happen together. Jaq’s personalized approach eased the pressure, replacing stress with a renewed sense of hope, joy, and endless dreams of a fresh start. She took the time to understand my unique preferences and offered creative, out-of-the-box solutions for my complex situation. When I found my new home, Jaq expertly navigated the offer and closing process, helping me close 10 days ahead of schedule. Beyond being professional and dependable, Jaq is genuinely caring, providing support that extends well beyond the transaction. Her holistic approach ensures you will find ...

Laurie was great partner in the sale of our house. She knows the market very well and is always professional. I greatly appreciated how “on top of every detail” she was, because it took a lot of stress/work off of my plate. We highly recommend Laurie!

Laurie Quatrella is the Best! Buying a home with Laurie was such a great experience! As first-time home buyers we had no idea what to expect, but she made the process so smooth and stress-free. She really took the time to understand what we wanted and helped find us homes that were exactly what we were looking for. Laurie knows the market inside and out, and she pointed out things we never would’ve thought to check. She was always available to answer our questions (we had a lot!) and explained everything in a way that made sense. When it came time to negotiate, she handled everything like a pro and made sure we got a great deal. Thanks to Laurie...

Lorelei Atwood was our real estate agent in successfully closing on a new home in Greenfield Hill in 2023. This year has been challenging for buyers. Lorelei's help throughout the 12 month process was invaluable. Highlights included: * allowing us to get acquainted for several months without an agency agreement, putting in the miles and effort, in the confidence we would sign with her * thoroughly understanding our objectives and preferences * being available when we needed her, not just when she could fit us in * being candid about the flaws every property had and not sugar-coating the listings * keeping up her energy level for the whole project...

Nothing but amazing things to say working with Lorelei - she spent the time learning what we were looking for, offered guidance where we needed, and provided a winning formula for landing our dream home. As a first time home buyer, we truly couldn’t have done it without her!!

We first contacted our realtor Lorelei Atwood because the Vanderblue Team had such great reviews. And we were happy that we did - Lorelei was such a pleasure to work with in selling our home. She gave us some great advice about how to make sure our home was ready to show, since we'd never sold a home before. We had a short time in which we wanted to sell because we wanted to move over the summer so our kids wouldn't miss any school, and she worked tirelessly with us by putting out an ad campaign, having open houses every weekend, and spreading the word to give us the best offers as quickly as possible to stay within our time frame. We'd definitely r...

After renting for years in NYC, Lorelei helped my wife and I find our dream home in Connecticut. She was such a fantastic advocate for us through the entire process, especially in negotiating the offer and closing. In Lorelei we found a trusted partner to help us as first time buyers.

Our experience with Lorelei Atwood as first time home buyers was absolutely fantastic. She helped us through every step of the way and was incredibly professional, kind and knowledgeable about the area and homes we saw. Lorelei was diligent and patient with us, we probably saw about a dozen homes with her before finding the perfect fit. She took extreme time and care to understand exactly what we were looking for, what we liked and disliked and how to achieve all of our goals for the house. I can’t stress enough how pleasant she was to work with, always reachable, approachable, and offering expertise. She has a great communication style that made it...

I would highly recommend my realtor, Margaret. From our first encounter she was extremely friendly, comforting and she would always go the extra mile to make sure you’re feeling confident about one of the biggest decisions you’ll ever make. As a first time home buyer my husband and I truly didn’t know anything about the process of buying a house. Margaret always made herself available and confidently answered all our questions. Her expertise in the market and negotiation skills allowed us to find the perfect first home in a very difficult market. Her knowledge of the Fairfield county allowed us to view many different areas and helped us find the bes...

Margaret McCannon was wonderful. I met her at the open house for the home I ended up buying. She has such a helpful but never pushy manner, and I liked her right away. As a single mom buying my first house on my own, I had so many questions. Margaret was always responsive and knowledgeable. She handled negotiations beautifully. I absolutely love my new home, and I highly recommend Margaret and the Vanderblue team.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Margaret McCannon as our realtor, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. From the very beginning, Margaret demonstrated an exceptional understanding of the real estate market, guiding us with expertise and confidence. What truly set her apart was her willingness to go above and beyond. Not only did she help us navigate the complexities of buying a home, but she also took the initiative to find us reputable HVAC, gas line, and roof repair companies. This level of service made a significant difference, relieving us of a lot of stress during the process. Margaret is not just focused on closing deals; she...

Margaret McCannon is the best realtor you can hope for. She made me feel like family while helping me find my home. I’m a first time home buyer, and in this crazy housing market, she worked day and night looking for places that would fit my family’s needs. When we found my home, she fought to get me the best deal. Ask for Margaret, her dedication is unrelenting

I absolutely loved working with Megan Cristol. She is honest and positive, and she was always accessible when I needed her the most. Megan is highly dedicated to helping others and does it all with a friendly smile! I am so lucky to know Megan!

Megan was fantastic to work with! Need an apartment In 2 weeks notices and found me a great apartment very quickly and made the whole process smooth and stress-free!

We have never experienced the level of professionalism and attention to detail that we have enjoyed working with Melissa Montagno. We have been looking for a home for the past eight years in four different states. Melissa helped us to narrow it down to a neighborhood and also has exquisite taste and feedback on how to make our new house our home. Melissa’s vision allowed us to move forward on a home, whose potential we would not have seen without her guidance, or with any other realtor. We have not only gained the most fabulous realtor but a lifelong friend, that we trust and respect. Making a decision at this point in our lives held a lot of gravit...

Melissa Montagno was amazing for the sale of my home! She expertly priced my home in West Norwalk and was there for every step; every question I had! Her marketing brochures are absolutely beautiful and gives buyers something to take away with them to review. Please consider using Melissa. You won’t be disappointed!
