The Metalios Team at Houlihan Lawrence, Joy Kim Metalios - Cos Cob, Connecticut

Dale Kruchten

We just sold our home of 37 years. This was the first time we ever looked to sell a house and we were completely in the dark as to the process. We connected with Joy Metalios and her team and right off they understood the emotions associated with leaving a house you’ve had so much joy and fun in for so long. They made the process that was, at times, nerve racking, much easier to handle. As it turned out, selling our house was not an easy “slam dunk” as there were issues with a house that was effectively 24 years old after a major remodel and expansion in 2000. Through it all, Joy and her team helped us work out all the issues that arose culminating in a very successful sale. My wife Kelly and I highly recommend Joy and her team to help you through the sale process and achieve a successful sale.

The Metalios Team used photos for their current listing in Stamford, CT that were originally photos from when we sold that house in 5/2023. I believe it is extremely disrespectful, unethical, and completely misleading when the photos of the listing are of my personal belongings, furniture, and decorations from 18 months ago. Also, some of the photos show personal photos of my children in them. I have contacted this team regarding this matter and their response was your agent sold us the photos. The photos are 18 months old, and completely misleading.

Update

Danny Arroyo - Thank you for contacting us immediately, your understanding and professional attitude was very much appreciated. Although, I do not agree that our photos should have been used as it is extremely misleading to any new buyer. I do want to express my thanks for removing the photos that were discussed. I have updated the review.

Arielle was absolutely wonderful to work with!! We met upon chance and I was skeptical at first but she proved my skepticism wrong. She found me my dream home and worked hard to ensure we won the bid in a very competitive market. She was knowledgeable and helpful without being pushy. She listened and was kind and invested. I strongly recommend her!

I have had the pleasure of working with Joy and her team on many transactions over the years. She knows the market, expertly manages the details and all the nuances and personalities of the transaction....and she and her team do it all with professionalism and kindness. Joy is a great problem solver and I highly recommend her to both my buying and selling clients.

Joy and her team at Houlihan Lawrence did an absolutely outstanding job selling my mother’s home - the home I grew up in that she and my late father had owned for 46 years before his passing in September of 2022.

Joy was able to sell the home at 40% over asking price in a difficult real estate market for sellers. She had perfect judgement as to how to get the best price.

The team kept my Mom and I informed every step of the way and were incredibly responsive. As an example, when I first called Joy she offered to come over to see the home the same day, and wound up coming over the next day due to our schedules.

Then she led my Mom and I through the process of sale and was able to get an extremely competitive offer (all cash with no contingencies other than underground oil tank removal) in less than a week after listing.

Joy also had great recommendations for an attorney, David Hopper, who we were very happy with, as well as a home organizer, Matt Baier, who also did an outstanding job in getting the house cleaned out and organized for sale and my Mom’s move.

Joy and her team are also incredibly thoughtful about the “little things.” They put together a book of pictures of the house that my Mom greatly appreciated, had dinner delivered to us one night while we were packing out the house, and Joy even stopped by in person on multiple occasions just to check in before closing.

Overall, I’d highly recommend Joy and her team of Stephanie Sheehan and Arielle McGregor for any residential real estate transaction.

Joy and team — Thanks for taking care of my mother during the most difficult period of her life.

I highly recommend Joy and the Metalios Team to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. Joy is smart, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. She worked tirelessly on our behalf to help us find a home during a very tough market. Once we found the home of our dreams, she negotiated so well that we won the house, despite multiple other offers. We're so grateful to her and can't wait to move into our new home.
