"I just wanted to share how great my experience was with Amy; coming from NYC and trying to find my dream home in CT was a seamless process. We explained to Amy what we were looking for in both a forever home and a welcoming neighborhood, and she knew first-hand what we needed. Not only was she professional, she really took a personal interest in finding us the perfect place in a short period of time. Thanks to Amy we found our forever home and could not be happier! Amy was not only a great Real Estate agent she also helped us get settled in a new environment. She has become a good friend as well which really helps when you move into a new area without knowing anyone. would highly recommend Amy and Compass."

"My wife and I engaged Amy Desel as our realtor for the purchase of a home in the Fairfield Beach area and sale of our townhome in Trumbull, CT in 2020 (crazy market!). We couldn’t be more pleased with Amy and how she worked with us on both transactions. She is a hard working pro and an even better person. We highly recommend Amy… She will be with you to the end and without question, we made the right choice using her. Thanks, Amy!"

"Amy was really excellent! Her support to us was much more than simply buying a home. She helped us with all phases of moving to Westport- locating homes in the right school district for our son- as we moved to the United States for the first time from Europe. She is very proactive and very easy to work with. I highly recommend her!!!"

"Amy is World Class! Amy got a signed binder on our property in 6 days. As a result of her marketing and initiative we received multiple offers and got $25k over asking price in Easton which is typically a slow market. Amy's expertise and diligence guided us through the whole process to the closing table."
