Our experience with the Engel team began as a casual inquiry - we "may" be interested in purchasing a home. When we began working with Robyn Bonder, looking at several towns, we were treated with the utmost care and interest. Our needs (and budget) were foremost and Robyn worked very hard screening properties. And then our situation changed as our search became urgent with the need to find a suitable home sooner than later. Yet, when we came to view the first listing it was clear it would not work. And Robyn, instead of cajoling us, was the first one to point this out. Clear examples of market knowledge, trust and empathy. A viewing or discussion with Robyn was always helpful and constructive. She was incredibly responsive and responsible. She would immediately get back to us and was very proactive. Robyn found a few properties which would work for us. When it came time to do the inspection and find a real estate attorney we relied on her judgement and these worked out well. Real estate is a tough field, and it is a difficult time for buyers right now. Robyn made the process so much easier and I give her the highest recommendation.
I could not be happier with the dedicated help that we received from Robyn Bonder! We were under a great deal of time pressure to find a home and she made herself available to us and was honest and helpful. So responsive to every text or email. Very grateful that we found her. Highly recommend!
John and Melissa and their team did ann excellent job marketing and selling my home in Fairfield. Their service and representation was top-notch from start to finish. I would highly recommend their services to anyone buying or selling a home.
Douglas Elliman Fairfield County Leaders, John and Melissa Engel, "The Engle Team" are truly a "Husband-and-Wife Dynamic Duo" in every sense. I have had the pleasure of working with both of them (interchangeably) and their superstar team, while house-hunting for my new family home in New Canaan. It took a whopping 10 months to find the property that met the desired location, budget, and lifestyle. John and Melissa guided through the process with grace, patience, sincerity, ease, and expertise. They introduced charming and historical places, restaurants, parks and events in and around New Canaan that really make just about anyone fall in love with the area. Both Engels are respected pros in the real estate market, with established relationships with other realtors outside of Douglas Elliman (a huge perk when needing to tour a new listing in a pinch), mortgage brokers, surveyors, architects, and loads of other resources that make for as close to a seamless real estate experience as possible. John and Melissa's approach is White Glove all the way, with no pressure, and constant dialogue, and debriefing in order to fine-tune and get to a decision that feels comfortable. After all, the experience is about finding your happy place, and they do not stop until you do. I will also mention that they are delightful as people. So even during the countless disappointing times when we exited yet another house that wasn't "the one," chose to bow out of a bidding war, or weren't the "best and final" accepted offer, John and Melissa continued to infuse hope and diffuse stress with their positive attitude and a lighthearted sense of humor. It was a lengthy and emotional process to uproot from a forever home of 22 years and transplant roots in New Canaan. Certainly, so fortunate and grateful to have had John and Melissa a phone call or text away, to not only help navigate through the process, but to pick up spirits that were low, and to assist with all of the nitty-gritty details of getting to closing date. My relationship with The Engle Team remains strong post-closing date. John and Melissa are the consummate professionals. They are both trusted resources within New Canaan, and through the process became built-in first friends in our new beloved town.
I have had been fortunate to know and refer clients to John Engel and The Engel Team. He and his team exude excellence, knowledge and commitment. With his wife Melissa, his Mother Susan, they are truly a family run team and that is how they treat each and every client, like family. They are attentive to every detail, no matter how big or small. Always such stellar feed back from all who have had the pleasure of working with them. A real powerhouse in New Canaan, CT and surrounding areas. They are truly connected to their community and giving back, from being a member of the Planning & Zoning Commission,The Rotary, Club, Chairman of the Town Council to The New Canaan Land Trust. John and his team know and are connected to this town like no one else. His weekly Podcast, Boroughs and & Burbs, a real estate conversation is always informative and entertaining. John is a class act with his stylist suits and signature bowtie. He is unforgettable. If you are looking for an agent that will go above and beyond for your Real Estate needs, I highly recommend John Engel and his Team.
