"Lynne is the best!! She was so patient with me and found me the perfect house. She's so easy to deal with, has great taste and was able to weed through the junk to find what I was looking for. Don't go anywhere else, Lynne is your agent!! " - D. Breier

"Outstanding. Lynne is affable, capable, and accommodating." - L. Kutcher

"It was wonderful! Lynne is not only a well-informed and conscientious real estate agent but a wonderful person in so many ways.

We were "telephone" introduced originally by our agent in California and he said that he thought we were a great match. He was absolutely correct. Lynne assisted us in so many ways. We arrived from California with little knowledge of Connecticut and certainly were not prepared for the house sale boom here. Lynne graciously arranged multiple property showings for us, including areas that were farther away for her. Lynne always did her "due diligence" and provided us with information about the property, the city, etc. There are attributes such as punctuality, determination, intelligence, and politeness to name a few that she certainly possesses, but it is her kind-heartedness and compassion that sets her apart. When needed, Lynne was always readily available with words of encouragement or sage advice. It is evident that she is an extraordinary person who not only is extremely knowledgeable in her field, but also a person who cares deeply about her clients. We feel extremely fortunate to have had her on "our side" representing our best interests. We would recommend Lynne in a heart beat." - S. Braz

"As we began our search for a house in Westport, we met Lynne at an open house she was running and immediately knew that we wanted to have her be our buyers agent. She’s super funny, kind, wise and a straight shooter. As soon-to-be transplants from the City, she immediately “got us,” what we wanted and perhaps more importantly what we didn’t want.

As we began our search, Lynne was super helpful and knowledgeable in explaining the pros and cons of each of the towns around Westport, including Weston, Fairfield, Wilton. But Lynne is a Westport gal at heart and her love of the town shines through. We spent probably 5 weekends with Lynne looking at houses. Not only was it super fun, but she was not pushy at all and stayed on top follow-up tours and continually refined the search as we went along. When we finally found the house that we loved, she worked insanely hard to to get the price down, ultimately securing us a very good deal on a historic home with a pool within walking distance of town — all things on our list of “would like to have but not dealbreakers.”

We highly recommend Lynne and have in fact recommend her to numerous friends thinking of moving to the area. She’s good people and you could not find a better buyers agent in the Westport area. And if we ever sell our house, no question Lynne will be selling it." - S. Elliott

"Fantastic! Lynne went above and beyond during our search - she was incredibly responsive communicating with us, and really proactive when it came to finding the perfect home for us despite trying market conditions! " - A. & S. Slade

"To put it bluntly: Lynne is the best. Yes, that may come across as hyperbole, but the truth is that Lynne's depth of knowledge about Westport brought us a sense of calm and ease in what has been a relentless and hectic real estate market. Not only did she understand exactly what we were looking for, but she was proactive and helpful in showing us different parts of town and a variety of homes. Some which we didn't even think would be on our radar. When we found a place that we quickly fell in love with, her expertise shined further. She always acted in our best interest, gave invaluable advice, and educated us on the process: from finalizing our bids to referring vendors inspection/closing/etc. Lynne is someone that cares deeply about her clients and will go the extra mile to help. She's not just an excellent agent, but we also are lucky enough to now call her a friend!" - B. & B. Groat

"Our experience with Lynne and Jake was perfect and they were such a pleasure to work with. We were searching for our first home during the very competitive Covid market, and they truly made this milestone a breeze. We were relatively new to the area and they took the time to show us all around Fairfield County to confirm which area was best for us. As we toured houses, Lynne and Jake always gave us their honest opinion and expertise. They made us feel like family, and it was a very personable experience. Their communication was top notch, and they were always available to talk every step of the way.

Once we found our house, Lynne and Jake’s knowledge of the market made it easy to trust their recommendation for our initial offer, and guidance throughout the brief negotiation process. We had an accepted offer within a few days and had a seamless closing. They knew all the right people in the area to connect with from lawyers, inspectors, and general contractors. Whenever something came up, Lynne and Jake were there to take care of it. There was a point in which the garage needed to be further inspected, and instead of us traveling from out of state, they were able to handle it. Lynne and Jake went above and beyond for us, and before we knew it, we were officially homeowners!

Lynne and Jake are the best team in Fairfield County, and we highly recommend them for anyone looking to have an enjoyable home buying experience!" - A. & J. Alleva

"Lynne is wonderful. She genuinely listens to her clients’ requests, works so hard for them, and is a good-hearted, friendly person. Some people are just a perfect fit for what they do, and she is one of those people." - J. Betancourt

"I cannot say enough wonderful things about both Jake and Lynne. Searching for our home while navigating a challenging market felt desperate at times. They made even the most difficult and disappointing days more enjoyable and hopeful. Their willingness to go above and beyond to support and guide our search made those days so much easier. Ultimately, they found us the home of our dreams and we could not be happier. We consider ourselves lucky to have found such a great team to take on one of life's biggest challenges. You really can't go wrong with this generous, dedicated and capable team. We love you Jake and Lynne!! Thank you for everything!!" - K. Ryan
