We loved working with Polly! She was so attentive and very patient with us along our house shopping journey! She was very communicative and highly informative, we trusted her and her advice every step of the way - and we ended up purchasing an amazing home. We couldn’t have done it without Polly!

"Polly was amazing!  We were out-of-state when we decided to put our home on the market.  Polly walked us through all the steps necessary to get our home on the market early in the spring selling market. She researched all the comps and came up with a very fair listing price which would give us the best chance to sell above listing. Polly got our home staged and on the market in our absence.  She was right about all the info she gave us and our home in Weston sold in 4 days with 7 offers above asking! Polly’s calm and reassuring personality was a comfort during this stressful process.  We could not have done this without Polly's support and willingness to roll up her sleeves to help make our sale so successful.  We would highly recommend Polly to anyone looking to sell their home!"

"We chose Polly as someone we trusted completely to represent us and our home. After our first meeting, we knew she had a terrific handle on the current market conditions and was plugged into the real-time pricing dynamics. Our house was a bit of a unicorn and didn’t have many direct comps, so we followed Polly’s guidance to a T. Five days after listing, we had multiple offers above the ask - and a signed contract. Everything that followed, including the closing, went off without a hitch. Without hesitation, we’d recommend Polly as a stellar agent." - Paula & Paul

"Polly was the perfect agent for us. Honest, accommodating, and not too "sales-y"... she quickly learned what we liked and did not like, refining our search accordingly. We never felt pressured throughout the process even though we were looking in a very competitive market. In fact, she often pointed out things that we would not have noticed or taken into consideration as first-time home buyers - which we were very appreciative of. My wife and I would highly recommend working with Polly!" - David & Erica

"After spending several months looking for our first home on our own, we met Polly at an open house and instantly felt a connection. Polly helped us narrow our search perimeter, gathered key background knowledge on properties, and opened the doors of dozens of homes for us to see. We appreciated her patience, dedication, and professionalism during our search process. She is also a natural with kids and our two young boys loved looking at houses with her! When we finally found “the one” Polly coached us on making a smart offer and went to work on our behalf. It was truly because of her that we secured our dream, forever home, which received many offers in Ridgefield, CT."

"When making a big financial decision, you want someone who is a good listener, exhibits patience, while also providing the best advice to secure a home. Polly remained calm and confident during a tough buyers’ market with little inventory, and we in turn stayed positive through the entire process. As first-time home buyers, we secured a house that received multiple offers. I would recommend Polly to anyone looking to buy or sell a home."

"Buying a house in CT when you live in CA is a fairly daunting scenario. With limited time to look for homes, Polly streamlined the search to a relevant handful that met my needs and specificities. Always accessible, super friendly and unbelievably knowledgeable, Polly helped me find the perfect home and then went to work on my behalf as I headed back across the country. She made herself available for multiple site visits and inspections while I was in another state altogether and was extremely communicative from offer to closing. I could not have asked for a better partner to walk me through this challenging process."

"My husband and I recently purchased a beautiful home in North Stamford, CT and we couldn’t have done it without the expertise and professionalism of Polly Sykes. We were purchasing during the very difficult pandemic market with homes selling within hours with multiple bids & bidding wars. I am certain that without the negotiation skills and experience that Polly brought to the table, helped us to navigate the market, we would not have been able to successfully purchase the home we wanted. Most importantly, she really cared about helping find the right place for us. She was always available and didn’t care how much time she spent or how many homes she showed us, she just wanted to make sure that we were happy in the end -- a trait that’s hard to come by. I would highly recommend their services for anyone looking to purchase a home in Connecticut."

"I can't say enough good things about Polly and could not recommend her more. She helped us navigate buying a house during a crazy market, bringing new strategies and POVs to help us ultimately buy our dream home. The thing that stood out most with Polly was how much she listened to us - learning our style, hopes & dreams for a home and each time (and there were a lot of times in our search!) helped point out when those could be realized in a home. She understands the buyer but also deeply understands the market, which was so important as the market changed significantly across our search. Her patience was so key as she made us feel comfortable taking our time, passing on houses that didn’t feel right, helping us figure out the right strategies for the market - knowing what a big decision this was for us. For us, these moments were just as important as the time that they nailed it and we stepped into the house we ended up buying."
