Brown Harris Stevens

Lara moved to Stamford from NYC in 2005. In 2012, Lara decided to turn her passion for real estate into a career and obtained her license. Lara has had a fast-moving career and her success can be attributed to her commitment to serve her clients with the highest level of honesty, patience, and “out of the box” thinking. She feels strongly about her personal relationships with her clients and provides her clients with boutique service which is quite unique to the industry.

In 2014 and 2015, Lara was the recipient of Halstead’s (now Brown Harris Stevens) Silver Circle Award. In 2015, she was the recipient of the Strategy Star award.

Since moving to Stamford, Lara has embraced the Stamford community and gotten involved with many volunteer opportunities including volunteer work in her children’s schools and, most recently, has been elected to serve as a Director to the Stamford Board of Realtors.

Prior to her career in real estate, Lara was a senior jewelry designer at a costume jewelry company in NYC, designed fine craft jewelry for her own brand, owned a restaurant, partnered on the renovation and design of a spec home, and is a partner in several multi-family homes. This diversity of experience has created an intrinsic ability to know what it takes to make a sale and close a deal in the most successful, stress-free, and professional manner.

Outside of her real estate career, Lara enjoys spending time with her family, hiking, attending her children’s sporting events, theatre, live music, and gardening. Lara lives in Stamford with her husband and two children who both attend Stamford public schools.

"We chose Lara as our listing agent because the minute she stepped into our home, a mid-century modern in Stamford, she came up with creative, 'out-of-the box' ideas on how to market it... we accepted an offer approximately 30 days after our house went on the MLS... When it came time to look for a new house, we knew working with Lara was the way to go. By this stage, we had developed a high level of trust in her... she worked diplomatically with the seller's broker... was honest, savvy and knowledgeable throughout our home selling and buying. She provided us with countless resources and always encouraged us to do what we felt comfortable with. We feel fortunate to have worked with Lara and highly recommend her as a realtor." - Aron and Amy D.

“Thank you Lara! It was such a relief to meet a realtor who understood our needs and appreciated the work and love we had given to our first home. Selling your first home has its own challenges and Lara was there to guide us every step of the way. During our first meeting, we had explained that we have young children and would mainly prefer communication via text for prompt response for showings etc. Lara understood our request and honored it graciously. She always had our best interest and guided us when we had any doubts. We were relocating and she was able to get us multiple offers within the first week of listing our house. Lara is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to home buying or selling in Stamford. She knows the area so well and keeps up with new listings for the competitive intel and fair market value. She is quick at responding, has great negotiation skills, process expertise and simply a warm and genuine person. If you want a genuine realtor who has your best interest by your side whether you are buying a home or selling a home, Lara Winters is your key!”
