"Michael Mombello is an extraordinary agent who successfully managed the sale of our antique home from the start (determination of listing price, timing of listing, staging the property), marketing (open houses, marketing brochures, seeking potential buyers) through closing (negotiating the final price, coordinating the closing professionals). His knowledge of the current market and buyers, coupled with his extensive professional experience with real estate made us confident we were getting the right advice throughout the process. Utterly professional, appropriately aggressive, highly disciplined and always available to address issues timely and with good advice. " - M. F.

"Michael Mombello found his perfect second career as a residential realtor working with Compass/KMS Partners in Westport! It is a role he’s uniquely suited for, with his background and expertise in design and marketing with Tommy Hilfiger, his roots and deep appreciation for Westport and the shoreline area, and his ability to blend traditional and modern styles in fresh, new ways. We had listed our Southport home twice with little success before working with Michael. His keen eye for detail, impeccable taste, professional manner, and sense of balance in presenting our structure and furnishings were key to helping us sell close to asking price within two weeks of listing. Following his advice, we were able to highlight our home’s special features and actually enjoy preparing to sell—something typically loaded with discomfort. His upbeat manner and personal care throughout the process were invaluable. We’ve recommended him to all of our friends and neighbors! " - Robbi and Bob H.

"Michael is really friendly and he did a good job adjusting his schedule to meet our needs.

He made a process that could be stressful into something enjoyable. " - Christina W.

"Super! I met Michael at an Open House and knew within a short time I would ask him to assist me in finding and purchasing a condo. When we completed that purchase, we continued on to sell my home in a prompt manner. Kudos! Michael has since become a friend of the family. " - Marie C.
