Experiencia fantástica: I referred a good customer to Judy to help sell their lovely home in Wilton, Ct. From the start she jumped right in and after seeing the house, made excellent suggestions and developed a marketing plan that resulted in multiple offers over asking.

Experiencia fantástica: Judy was an absolute pleasure to work with, extremely helpful and responsive whenever I had a question or needed guidance. Her incredibly in-depth knowledge of the Westport market was invaluable since I live in another state. Her warmth, energy and expertise shine through in everything she does. Highly recommend.

Experiencia fantástica: We sold a home with Judy Michaelis 6 years ago and were so happy with the experience that when we decided to move back to Westport, she was the only person we considered to be our realtor. Judy showed us a lot of houses over an 18 month period and she never pressured us to move ahead if it wasn’t “the right house”. Eventually we ended up finding a great house in the Old Hill section of Westport. Judy gave us phenomenal advice on what to offer for the house as well as coaching us during the negotiations that happened as part of the closing process. Her in-depth knowledge of the Westport market was impressive and very helpful. If we were to sell our house in the future, I would never consider working with anyone else.

Experiencia fantástica: Judy sold us our house 20 years ago and has kept in touch ever since, keeping us updated on the market and showing us houses that might be of interest to us. Judy is very honest, always attentive, easy to get a hold of, and always puts her clients needs first. She goes out of her way (and scope of her job) to lend her expert advice - even if it’s to give her input on a floor finish or paint color! The other day we asked her for advice on exterior paint color (which is clearly out of her scope of responsibility) and she immediately drove by the neighborhood to give her assessment! I could go on about Judy and still not do her justice. Judy is a woman of high integrity. Upon this one individual, I’d gladly stake my reputation on truth and insight. We’re I deciding on who to you use to buy or sell my house, I’d want someone of Judy’s caliber and integrity on my team.

Experiencia fantástica: Judy is a long-time resident of Westport, so she has amazing insight regarding selling your Westport home. She is incredibly responsive, has amazing connections to get things done, and will make selling your home as stress free as possible. I am so happy my wife and I chose her to sell our home, and I recommend you do the same!

Experiencia fantástica: Working with Judy on the sale of our home was one of the best decisions we've made. She's incredibly knowledgeable, super responsive, and a pleasure to work with.

Her knowledge and experience in the real estate market are evident, and I would highly recommend Judy as a realtor, as either a buyer or a seller.

Experiencia fantástica: I couldn't recommend Judy more. As a first-time seller, I had a lot of questions and concerns about the process, and Judy was able to put me at ease with everything.

Experiencia fantástica: She's the best! It's more than just putting a house on the market and taking the first decent offer. Judy had ideas for the property that got us a dozen offers in only two days, and taught us how to analyse offers and choose the right one. She was indespensible, always responded quickly to our questions and issues, and was just plain fun to work with. You will not find a better agent anywhere.

Experiencia fantástica: Judy is fantastic. Knows the market better than anyone, works above and beyond for her clients, always puts her client's interest first.

Experiencia fantástica: Downsizing our home was a daunting prospect, until we teamed up with Judy Michaelis, an outstanding listing agent in Westport. We enrolled in her "Design Your Downsize" program and couldn't be happier. We sold our large Westport property and found our dream condo, all under Judy's expert guidance. Her knowledge and support simplified the process, and it's clear why she's touted as one of Westport's best realtors!

Experiencia fantástica: I have now done not one but two real estate transactions with Judy Michaelis by my side. Many agents may claim to be incredible agents, but Judy is the best. She helped me sell in a difficult buyer’s market a few years back and most recently she helped me sell in a seller’s market. Each market was different and had its own set of challenges and that is where Judy’s expertise took center stage. She is the consummate professional and is sweet yet tough when needed, understanding, knowledgeable and was a great listener. She obviously knows the market and her experience coupled with her special skill set provides top notch representation for any buyer or seller. I will have her represent me on my next purchase and would recommend her to friends without hesitation. Thank you, again, Judy—you are truly the best in Fairfield County.

Experiencia fantástica: Judy is such a pro! I’m a detailed person myself, and am so impressed at how Judy makes sure to cover every nook and cranny of the viewing and offer/contract experience. She’s wonderfully observant and resourceful - you really feel like she’s on “your team.” Can’t recommend her enough.

Experiencia fantástica: Judy was the selling agent for the home I bought in Westport. Since that time, she kept in touch with me and my needs in a very professional manner. When it came time to sell that lovely home, I had no hesitation on who should list it. From the time we sat down in the kitchen to agree to list it, three days later we had an accepted offer and a fully signed contract within a week. What more could anyone ask from an agent?

Experiencia fantástica: We could not have been more pleased with our experience working with Judy Michaelis in selling our home. Judy is experienced, insightful, savvy and was always available whenever we had any questions or concerns. She is also an incredibly pleasant, kind and thoughtful person. She made the process of selling and moving (though excellent referrals) far more smooth and manageable than we might have ever possibly imagined. We recommend her fully without reservation. We would welcome working with her again in any purchase or sale.

Experiencia fantástica: Judy was the consummate professional in marketing and completing the recent sale of my house. She has many years of experience both living and working in the unique Westport residential real estate market. She knows all the players and how to size up buyers. Little time is wasted and good prospects are quickly brought to the table. Good advice is given throughout. She is the best realtor I have ever worked with.

She is always ready with support and guidance calling on her years of experience in this market. She is reassuring, calm and a lovely person to work with. We feel very fortunate to have been in her very capable hands.

Experiencia fantástica: We had the incredible experience working with Judy and highly recommend her to family and friends. It was clear from the beginning that Judy has the complete package – she knows the local market better than anyone, has the contacts, the social media platform plus three decades of experience. She is a straight shooter and was a true partner which made the experience seamless. Despite being one of the top agents in Westport, CT, Judy always made us feel like her most important client.

Experiencia fantástica: Judy was an incredible partner as we looked to price, market and sell our home. She has a great understanding of the local marketplace, and we would highly recommend her.

Experiencia fantástica: Having relocated 5 times in the past 20 years, I recognize the importance of having a realtor who is honest, straightforward, understands market conditions and is a good communicator. Judy is all of these things and more. She has good ideas as to how best to present your home and does what it takes to make the sale. She is also a calming influence in times of stress! Thank you Judy for helping us sell our home!

Experiencia fantástica: I've used Judy to buy a home, sell it, and rent a home in Westport. In every case her experience and knowledge made me feel like I could trust her completely and that I had the best representation. Not only does she get the job done, her price recommendations are spot-on and she even checked in to ask how I was doing throughout the process! You can't go wrong with Judy, she's the best.

Experiencia fantástica: Judy is a real pro. She knows how to market your house properly. A professional photographer and an aerial photographer were brought in to take magnificent photos to show off the excellent features of my house. In addition Judy’s extensive network of realtors brought a great amount of prospective buyer traffic. But most important of all Judy is a comfort in handling Seller’s anxiety and making the whole sellers process a more enjoyable experience.

Experiencia fantástica: I highly recommend Judy if you are looking to buy or sell in the Westport, CT area!

Experiencia fantástica: I found Judy online (which is fine) and upon her first visit to our home she predicted the sales price and timing. She was 100% correct on both. Our house sold in a day at the price she predicted. Her knowledge of the Westport market is superior. And since the sale, she has provided excellent recommendations for organizers, movers, consignment/auctioneers, etc. I highly recommend Judy. Probs the best realtor I have ever dealt with.

Experiencia fantástica: Judy was instrumental in the sale of our home. She is knowledgeable about the market, direct in her recommendations for what needs to be done in advance of the listing, and ultra responsive throughout the process. I would highly recommend Judy!

Experiencia fantástica: Judy is one in a million. I can't say enough good things about my experience with her. It was honestly perfect from beginning to end. She is smart, responsive, totally reliable and has a soothing, Zen-like calm. Her advice was always on point and I trusted her completely. As a family we kept in touch with her on and off for the past 5 years and when we recently made the decision to sell a property, she made sure to ask us if we felt emotionally ready. I had never had a realtor ask me that and it was such a helpful and thoughtful question. I wish she could be my realtor forever.

Experiencia fantástica: Judy sold my house in Westport, CT. She was very professional, with a fine attention to detail when staging the house. She even helped me fill my living room with furniture that made my living room stand out more. She went out of her way in marketing the house. I would recommend her to anyone.

Experiencia fantástica: Judy is excellent, professional, honest and very knowledgeable. She is impressive and she delivered. Judy had helped us in buying an investment property and finding us tenants. She showed us several homes, which had kept our criteria in mind. Her knowledge of the area and the market is invaluable and impressive. She kept us abreast and updated throughout the buying process. She also found us tenants! All happened quickly and smoothly. She is highly recommended!

Experiencia fantástica: Judy Michaelis is a warm and caring professional. Due to family circumstances, I had to sell my dream house and find another house locally. Judy went above and beyond her realtor obligations and helped me through this difficult process. She found a suitable buyer in a difficult market and she found a treasure for me to purchase that fits exactly what I was looking for. During this process, Judy made herself available for any questions and concerns I had. She truly had my best interests in mind. She helped me emotionally and continues to check in with me to see if I am settled and happy. Judy is professional, knowledgeable, and experienced, all while being a friend. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell.

Experiencia fantástica: We would highly recommend Judy. She was very patient with our entire family and was available for advice and guidance even before we met face to face. We are very happy with the home we purchased, and Judy never wavered in her effort and commitment in finding us the right home. We will not hesitant to use Judy again in the future.

Experiencia fantástica: We recently purchased a house in Westport and were lucky enough to have Judy on our side. We went thru a protracted negotiation on a particular house that was quite difficult and eventually fell thru. Judy stayed with us and helped us find another house which was also a challenging negotiation. We were also doing this from California. Judy was quite helpful and stayed positive and engaged throughout the entire process. She explained everything and dealt with all of the issues in both negotiations. We were certainly not the easiest clients to deal with and she handled us with ease and made us feel safe at all points of the process. Her knowledge of the area and the market were helpful and extensive. She has even helped us find a babysitter now that we've moved in! We could not recommend Judy more highly.

Experiencia fantástica: We were referred to Judy by our agent who sold our house in California. We met with her almost immediately after we arrived in CT and almost immediately went out looking at houses with her. She gave us great insight into the area as it related to our needs and wants. We came to the table with ideas of our own, but with her frankness and knowledge, she had us rethink some of what we were thinking, and we are glad we did. She was responsive and very available, as we were eager to find our new house. We were targeted in our searching and were quick to move onto the next house if a certain house wasn't a fit....and we seemed to be on the same page on this very quickly once we entered and decided it wasn't for us. I liked and appreciated the nuanced advice she gave when looking at houses. Not only did she understand what we would like for a house to live in now, but also the pluses and minuses it might cause down the road when we would want to sell - which to me was very important. As an extra plus, she was also very good at giving us design ideas that would improve the house, which we did before we filled it with furniture. I certainly recommend her services.

Experiencia fantástica: Judy was great from the beginning of the process until the end. Very smart with her ideas and straightforward in her approach. Selling a house can be a very unsettling experience and Judy made it work for us. Judy was always available to answer questions and quell concerns. We were very happy with the end result.

Experiencia fantástica: Judy helped me greatly in my apartment search. She was available to guide me throughout the entire process, and was incredibly responsive. I felt empowered in my decision because of the great advice I received from Judy and look forward to working with her again in the future.

Experiencia fantástica: Judy is a fantastic realtor!! We looked for a home in Westport / Weston / Fairfield for over 2 years with Judy - seeing over 40 homes. Judy's knowledge of the real estate market and the area was invaluable. We ended up in the most perfect house for our family in an ideal location for us and are so grateful for the time she spent with us to learn the different neighborhoods.

Experiencia fantástica: I'm 61 years old and I never post reviews. But I am making an exception because I must comment on the extraordinary talent and professionalism of our real estate agent, Judy Michaelis, in representing us in selling our Westport home. My wife and I have owned our home for 16 years and have bought and sold two other houses in two other states before purchasing our Westport residence. I met with Judy 3 times over the past year (as well as other agents) before hiring her. Each time I was struck by her superior market knowledge and insights, pricing recommendations and listing advice, and quiet confidence. Once hired, Judy made the entire listing/selling/negotiating process seamless and much less stressful than what we had expected given our previous experiences - which is all the more remarkable since we were combining a potentially toxic mix of emotion, money, uncertainty and change. She knew when to be firm and when to be flexible, what mattered and what didn't. She was always available, patient, responsive and on top of everything. As importantly - given that this was a difficult transition for us (plus COVID) - she was tremendously helpful in assisting us in our next move as we "right-sized" and there is no question that it was her vast network and connections that made that possible. I realize this is a business transaction but my wife and I both felt that Judy cared about us and was sensitive and thoughtful to our next move, literally and figuratively, that she not only put our interests first but went out of her way to help us - even before we had signed with her. In closing, I'm not saying that you have to hire Judy (although I think it would be a good idea). I am saying that you would be well-served to at least meet with her. My wife wants to add, "you would be crazy not to sign with Judy or hire her to find your perfect house - thank you again Judy, you are one-of-a-kind!"

Experiencia fantástica: Judy's knowledge of and passion for real estate and finding the perfect home for a client is evident the moment you meet her. Judy has her finger on the pulse of the local market and, whatever is your desired home, Judy is more than enthusiastic about visiting, touring, advising and ultimately, negotiating. Her wealth of knowledge and immediate sense for what elements of a house impact its value or require further investment is invaluable. Cannot recommend her highly enough!

Experiencia fantástica: Judy was excellent to work with, she is very responsive and knows the town very well. She has an excellent team and does a great job marketing your property. I plan to use her again!

Experiencia fantástica: We worked with Judy recently on a home purchase. She took the time to understand what we were looking for and found us the perfect place. Before finding our new home, we expressed interest in other properties that we saw online. When we looked at them, Judy pointed out how those other properties did not suit our needs. Very knowledgable, professional and responsive. I highly recommend Judy.

Experiencia fantástica: We hired Judy to sell our home after a recommendation from a friend that was very happy with Judy’s handling of their home sale. Needless to say, it was a great move and we are extremely happy with our decision. Judy helped us move seamlessly through the process and we cannot thank her enough for making the whole process effortless

Experiencia negativa: I spoke to this realtor the other day, I was not impressed. There’s so many other realtors out there who actually want to sell and got that hustle.

Experiencia fantástica: Judy is fantastic. This was a cross-country referral. My clients sold in the San Francisco Bay Area and moved to CT to be near family. Judy helped with the purchase of their home, and then sold my clients Mom's house for good measure. She is energetic, positive, communicative and thorough. My clients loved her and I love the strength of Coldwell Banker's national referral network. She was clearly the agent for the job.

Experiencia fantástica: We met Judy through a friend very early in our home search process and were immediately struck by her pleasant and welcoming personality. Recognizing our inexperience, she started us off with a fabulous introduction to Westport that included a tour of its various neighborhoods and their respective pros and cons. Soon we started looking at houses, and her astute and candid advice helped us understand our own needs and wants. Her insight even drilled down to views on lots, home positioning on the lot, quality of build materials, design/aesthetics and ease of resale. Throughout this educational journey, which spanned nearly two years and countless hours of home and neighborhood tours, Judy was exceptionally patient, responsive and available often at extremely short notice. From that perspective, it was truly one of the best customer experiences we have ever had. Finally after two years of working with us tirelessly, when we did identify a house we liked, Judy was efficient, fastidious and savvy in helping us finalize the deal. Throughout the closing process, she was keenly attentive to minute details and kept an eye on where the puck was heading, dealing with matters before they even became issues. She has even helped us pick service providers for maintenance and improvements on our home! In my opinion, describing Judy as a realtor undersells her value proposition - I view her practice as a boutique that has unparalleled data, experience and intelligence about the Westport market, which powers customized services across the real estate value chain and is further complemented with a “client first” mantra. I am so impressed with Judy’s abilities that she is and will remain my first point of contact for all real estate related needs (Westport and beyond) for years to come.

Experiencia fantástica: I have had various business dealings with Judy over the years on her open houses.
