Betsy Purtell 680 South Main Street, Cheshire, CT 06410

"Our first home purchase experience with Betsy was nothing short of outstanding. After hearing several horror stories from friends with questionable or shady realtor experiences, I was diligent about interviewing several agents before choosing one which would assist my wife and I with our first home purchase. From the first call, Betsy stood out as someone with experience, integrity, and honesty. As first-time homeowners, we had lots of questions, did not fully understand the process, and didn't fully know what we wanted. Betsy was always patient and provided us with guidance/recommendations, while always ensuring to not necessarily sway our opinion/decision - a tough balance to find, but one she struck quite well. What we appreciated especially was the lack of pressure. It was clear from the start that she wanted us to be comfortable and happy with our decisions. She stayed out of the way and stepped in when needed, never crossing into our personal territory, but still dropping helpful tips and suggestions along the way. By and large, responsiveness is one of her great strengths as well. As someone who tries to always be on top of things and proactive, I sincerely appreciated Betsy’s responsiveness., never missing a beat. Betsy's husband Tom is also a realtor, so in times where she wasn't available for some reason (not often), Tom was able to also help us out which made sure we never missed any opportunities. Our home search time was (with a bit of luck perhaps) not so long, given the market conditions. Within 2-3 months, and one lost bid, we found a home we absolutely fell in love with. And most importantly, this is where Betsy's experience shined. She helped us leverage all the possible purchase tactics we could use, within our comfort zone of course, to maximize the chance of winning the bid. And thanks to her experience and guidance, my wife and I are grateful to be living in a home which we can confidently say is a dream home for us. We hoped to find a nice home to raise our future family, but we didn’t expect to find one that we loved as much as we do this one. Thank you so much, Betsy! To a future buyer, know that you're in good, well-experienced hands with Betsy."

"After 3 years of waiting, and watching, and not really wanting to get involved in a highly competitive buyers market, the time had come for my husband and I to find a new home. Betsy had helped us with another home purchase, as well as 2 home sales in the past, so we knew she was the one to guide us through the process once more. As we experienced a wide range of expectations and emotions throughout our house search and eventual purchase, she was always available to offer her expertise and professional point of view. She consistently answered all of our questions with patient, honest, down-to-earth suggestions and solutions that we truly appreciated. With Betsy by our side every step of the way, we found a house that we love, quicker than we had expected. She is an amazing and dedicated realtor and a wonderful person. With utmost confidence, we highly recommend her for any real estate needs."

"We have worked with Betsy on three home transactions -- two purchases and one sale -- and we've been extremely happy with her guidance and support throughout each one. She is extremely responsive, knowledgeable, and helpful. When we had questions, she laid out our options and helped us understand the choices so we could make the right decision for us. When we were new homebuyers, she helped us find a fantastic house and navigate the buying process. A decade later, when we outgrew that house, she helped us find a new one in an extremely competitive market and sell our house (with multiple offers above asking price in days). She does a fantastic job and we would highly recommend her."

"My wife and I have worked with Betsy (3) times now. Of course each time because the previous experience was so awesome. With Betsy I feel like I've got a friend in the business who has my interests at heart. Her responsiveness throughout the process is second to no one.I've always felt she was 100% honest with me as well. No real estate games just the truth. She also gets answers quickly and never hesitates to show a home to you if you're interested. I've worked with other agents in my earlier years and they are no comparison to Betsy. I'm getting older now and don't know if I'll sell/buy another home again but you shouldn't hesitate to call her. You'll be glad you did!"

"My fiancé and I had the best experience with Betsy. As first time home buyers, she was able to walk us through every step of the process, and was always just a message away if we had any questions or concerns. She was always extremely responsive to our thoughts, added her own personal expertise and touch to the housing search, and was able to find us out perfect home at the end of the process. We cannot recommend her enough to anyone looking for homes in the CT area!"
