"Working with Alison was nothing short of great. She was consistent in sending us homes that hit our needs and would also throw in some unique homes which opened our minds to more options. The market is hot and Alison made sure to call us immediately when a house in our area came on the market. She encouraged us to be competitive without pressuring us and helped coached us along the way. We were confident working with her throughout the entire process. She successfully found us the home of our dreams and we are absolutely thrilled! We would highly recommend Alison to anyone, especially first time buyers, looking to find a place to call home." E.D.

“Alison was wonderful to work with and always at our beck and call. Her knowledge of the area was great and she was very useful when it came to finding local contractors for some painting and hardwood floor refinishing we wanted to perform. I would definitely recommend her for anyone looking to buy a home in Fairfield County.” S.S.

“My husband and I began looking for homes in March of this year. We were new to the home buying experience and had no idea where to begin! Alison helped us through every step of the way, from looking at homes all over Fairfield County, to giving us her expert advice - she guided us through the process. We ended up finding the perfect home for our growing family and we could not have done it without Alison! Thank you!” M.P.

I work in the news biz. I am honored to report that Alison is: Amazing. Diligent. Caring. Above all, knowledgable. There simply aren't enough superlatives to describe the professionalism and warmth of Alison Sternberg. For my wife and I, she has become more than an agent, we are proud to have her as a friend. During our two year search for the perfect home Alison was always encouraging but never pressuring. She understood what we wanted and never gave up on us or finding the right fit. Once she found our dream house, Alison went into action guiding us to a successful offer and closing. She is also an ace investigator combing through city and county records for all the important documents and history we needed. She is available 24/7. For Alison there is no task or problem too big or small. You couldn't invent a better real estate agent. Alison comes with our HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION. YOU WILL NOT FIND ANYONE BETTER! HANDS DOWN...ALISON IS THE BEST!!! - Alan G.

“Alison was truly wonderful to work with. She was very interested on finding the exact details that my wife and I collectively and individually thought would make a house a home. We went house hunting for many weekends with Alison confidently saying "this isn't home for you guys". Alison had no problem walking around different neighborhoods with us, finding homes that were on the market and calling the listing agent to get us in immediately for a showing. One day she probably walked 4 miles with us from neighborhood to neighborhood to show homes, some planned-many not. When we found our home Alison quickly said "this is a home, this is something you can grow into". She knew what we were looking for and quickly after walking in the door we sent in our offer. Alison was with us every step of the way, from finding our home to our inspection, helping negotiate and finally even coming to our attorney's office with us for the closing. She was the key in finding our home, and handled everything in spectacular fashion. We still stay in contact with her, sending updates of work we have done on our house with excitement always beaming from her end. Alison is a tremendous guide and resource for the journey of buying a home, she is the one person we would ever turn to if we were ever to go through this process again.” - L.L.

"Alison Sternberg is an absolute delight to work with and one whom we would recommend, in a heartbeat. She is a real pro and a wonderful negotiator. Patient, supportive, encouraging, knowledgeable and so generous in sharing resources that proved key in closing on our beautiful new home. She truly cares. Thank you, Alison, for being so dedicated to our quest." - Charlene and Dennis R.

“Alison is the consummate professional when it comes to any real estate transaction. We used her services for the sales process during a very difficult market; however, her expertise made everything seamless. Alison is very knowledgeable of the local community and was instrumental in assisting us in getting the property ready to market. From contractors to appraisers and attorneys, Alison is a valuable resource for reputable professionals. We highly recommend Alison to anyone in search of a fantastic real estate agent. We loved working with Alison!” C.R.

"Alison's help and knowledge of the market area for the sale of my home went well beyond my expectations. Alison was there every step of the way. From the moment I was in contract with her and Halstead she went to work. Whether scheduling professionally photos to capture the right photos of my home and property; rearranging my furniture to enhance appeal to prospective buyers; hosting a brokers or public open house; negotiating the offer to work in my best interest; or helping with arranging an estate sale with furniture and personal belongings I no longer had use for, she presented herself professionally, ethically, and was always available to me." J.B.

“We recently sold and purchased a home with Alison Sternberg as our agent and truly had the most stellar experience. Her organizational skills, relationships with others, communication skills, and scheduled/ unscheduled engagements with us were experienced firsthand at many different levels during our initial contracts all the way through the final closings.” J.N.

"The selling of our much-loved home of 25 years was a significant life event for us. Alison Sternberg exceeded our expectations of what a top-flight professional real estate agent should be. Yes, she has all the savvy that comes from someone who has been in the market for many years. Yes, she supported our listing with a comprehensive range of excellent marketing tools. PLUS (and this is the really big deal) she correctly established the market price of our home, pushing against our more conservative pricing instincts, and was right on the money! She guided us in effectively positioning our home and then worked tirelessly to deliver on the sale. Here is a lasting picture: elegant Alison Sternberg on her hands and knees, staging furniture in every room of the house to make it absolutely perfect. It sold in a matter of days. She is truly the best!" P.W. & C.W.
