After showing us homes in New Canaan, Darien, Westport and Southport, we ultimately purchased a home in Southport. Throughout the entire process Rachel was extremely professional, responsive, patient, and provided us with excellent representation and guidance. After the closing, Rachel continued to help us in countless ways to become familiar with our new community and feel welcome. Rachel goes above and beyond for her clients!" - Jim and Catherine

"Rachel helped us purchase our home in New Canaan. She is highly knowledgeable and experienced in the local market. She is also very dedicated and lovely to work with overall. We were very impressed, for example, with her diligence in navigating our home inspection report. Her expectations were equivalent or perhaps even higher than ours in terms of what we needed the sellers to address, and she followed up on all items very carefully. Since moving into our home, Rachel has continued to be a great resource in terms of recommending contractors and keeping us in the loop regarding town events. She's incredibly hard working, smart and caring - a wonderful combination!"
