My husband and I worked with Joe over the course of 9 months to find and purchase our first home. Joe came highly recommended to us from a friend. Joe helped us navigate a very tough and competitive housing market where we were competing against multiple offers on almost every house. He was there every step of the way and always available to answer calls and texts from us when we had questions -- which we had a lot of! He was a great resource when showing us homes, pointing out many things we would have missed ourselves. Once we finally had an offer accepted, Joe helped us with a smooth closing process. Thanks, Joe!

Chris helped us find a rental unit several years ago and he was our first call when we became interested in buying a condo. His insight to the market were so helpful to guide us when we started to look at properties, and his connections in Fairfield county were the key to success when we found our dream home and needed to act fast. Particularly as first-time home buyers, the real estate world seemed intimidating, but Chris made sure we felt comfortable every step of the way and had every question answered. Highly recommend!

We worked with Joe Balestriere to both sell our home and to buy a new one (at the same time!). I don't know if it's enough to say that Joe is fantastic at his job but I will start there.

He was extremely responsive and informative and I don't think he steered us wrong even one time. If I didn't know better I'd say he works around the clock and eats Real Estate for breakfast.

When we contacted him about what we were trying to do, it seemed like a dream and a long shot. 3 short months later, we were living out that dream. I'm sure that's not the norm, but that is how it played out for us, and I don't think we could have done it without Joe.

I would recommend him to anyone without the slightest hesitation.

Joe’s knowledge of Norwalk and the real estate market is second to none. From our first conversation, he explained all the factors that would determine our listing date and asking price. He knew every comp that was recently sold, current on, or coming on the market. Joe was straightforward when describing the advantages and disadvantages of our house compared to others. He explained every component of his marketing plan with supporting rationale, and he considered our preferences. He worked with a sense of urgency without pressuring us to make decisions. Joe was promptly responsive via text or phone as questions arose. He led us seamlessly through the whole process from listing through closing, including providing options for selecting a closing attorney. I felt confident in Joe’s expertise and guidance. It was a bonus that we sold over asking as the market started to soften. I am so glad we selected Joe as our realtor and would happily work with him again.

Everyone knows 5 or more realtors. But when it came to selling my home, I didn’t want a friend or someone’s cousin. I wanted the best of the best. I searched long and hard researching local realtors in Norwalk and found Joe and his team. It was a five star experience from start through finish. He marketed my home extremely well, was honest, transparent and strategic with his advice. He was collaborative throughout the process and listened to our goals and needs. Joe helped us get maximum value for our home and we got fantastic over asking cash offers within 5 days of listing.

A home sale process doesn’t get much better than that. Search no further, Joe is your guy.

If you’ve been looking for a home in Fairfield County, you know how challenging the housing market is. Chris persevered with my husband and I every weekend — showing us listings and coaching us on the home buying process as we were first time home buyers. At long last, the stars aligned and we were able to purchase our first home, which we love. We are so appreciative for Chris’s consistency, top notch communication, coaching, and availability to show us homes. We highly recommend Chris!

Joe is the consummate professional. He's knowledgeable, communicative, and is available to offer his expert advice whenever it's needed. Joe has helped us both buy and sell homes, and wouldn't turn to anyone else!

Chris was wonderful! He's responsive throughout the day and weekends with a cheerful attitude. With the team Chris helped advise on, we were able to secure a house with no issues and in a short time. Definitely recommend Chris for an effective and supportive home buying experience.
