Bettina began her real estate career in New York City where she was a member of the distinguished Private Brokerage and Producer’s Council and also recognized for her work by the Real Estate Board of New York.

She carried this experience with her to Fairfield county in 2003 to raise her family.

Testimonials

Bettina is simply the best, a consummate professional who goes the extra mile and then some. She’s smart, savvy, resourceful, patient, and kind. My husband and I lived in NYC for 27 years and when we decided to move to the suburbs, we asked our good friend, a NYC real estate agent, if she could recommend someone to help us buy our first home. She recommended Bettina and we are so lucky she did. From start to finish she made the process go quickly and smoothly. She understood what we were looking for and was mindful of our needs and budget. She found us many houses to look at and always gave helpful feedback on anything we found. And she was always at the ready to show us homes on the weekend when we were available.

When she found us a home, she then recommended other professionals: an inspector, a contractor, a lawyer, a mortgage broker. She helped us envision the house of our dreams and then negotiated a very fair deal with the owners’ agent. As a former New Yorker who has lived in Connecticut for 20 years, she has a great sense and appreciation of the area, knows everyone, and helped us understand the market and intricacies of buying our first home. She’s a laid-back powerhouse who is a joy to work with. My husband and I cannot thank her enough and will recommend her to anyone we know who is looking for a home in Fairfield County. – Dee Dee and Gavin D.

My husband and I moved to Wilton, CT from Austin, Texas and used Bettina Hegel as our realtor and had THE BEST real estate experience we've ever had! We've bought and sold many properties, and I will tell you in all honesty, that Bettina's professionalism, strength of heart, and protection of her client's best interest while negotiating were extraordinary! Actually, she gave us the best real estate experience we've ever had!

Bettina stayed on top of every detail of this process, guiding us masterfully through the whole thing! We bought our dream house for the price we wanted, and she helped us negotiate the extras (including move-in date) in a seamless way! We are honestly forever grateful for Bettina's assistance and presence during this huge transition in our lives! She is professional, strong, kind, compassionate, intelligent, knowledgeable, and patient. If you get the opportunity to work with her, I believe you will count yourself as truly blessed! She was an angel to our family, and we are so grateful for the dear friend who highly recommended her to us. – Chausey and Sam J.

Bettina was awesome. She was articulate, knowledgeable, always available, incredibly informed, and remarkable friendly. She recommended me to mortgage brokers, home inspectors, and local attorneys, all of whom were ready to help in the purchase of the home. I would definitely recommend Bettina to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. – Stephen B.

My husband and I were thrilled to partner with Bettina during our search for a family home in New Canaan. She spent time getting to know us and what we were looking for and then didn't waste our time going to homes that didn't fit our search criteria. She was responsive, knowledgeable around value in the market, and attentive to our reactions. We love our choice of home and highly recommend Bettina as a partner for anyone in the market for a new home. – Joanne and Jonathan R.

"My family has moved multiple times across the country and dealt with realtors in different places. Bettina is THE BEST! She is professional, experienced, resourceful, attentive, understanding, and most of all, a person with integrity and kindness.

Having rented for a year, we decided to purchase a home in Connecticut. We didn’t have friends in this area, so we asked a realtor in NYC to see if he could help us out. Bettina was the one he recommended. Bettina reached out to me the same day and offered her help. In the following four months, Bettina showed us numerous homes in Stamford, Darien, New Canaan, Wilton, Weston, and Westport. She was so patient, giving us ample time to get to know the area. She always paid attention to what my husband, kids, and I liked, trying to accommodate everybody’s needs.

Both my husband and I fell in love with the house the first time we saw it. The rest was history. The entire process from making our offer through closing was so smooth all because Bettina guided us every step of the way…My family loves Bettina. Not only did we find our new home in New Canaan, we found a good friend here as well. If you’re looking for a realtor to help you find your next home in Connecticut, you can’t go wrong with Bettina." – Mae & Ka
