Anika was recommended to us by a NY realtor and I could not recommend someone more highly. This was our first purchase of a property and Anika was exceptionally helpful throughout the full transaction. She of course has a wealth of knowledge of Connecticut real estate, but she also has an engineering background as an added bonus. We did not use all of the vendors she recommended, however, all of them she did recommend were excellent and professional as well. I will be recommending her to friends.

Anika and Julie brought extensive market knowledge and tremendous skill in helping us sell our house. Her expertise and access to resources were key to driving a successful close in record time and made what could be an overwhelming process manageable. They were also extremely helpful as we managed the process while living in another state, being available to help out whenever the need emerged. Their recommendations for showing and listing the house were right on. I would highly recommend Anika and Julie to anyone who is considering selling their house.

Anika and Julie were such a great duo and made the homebuying process so easy for us. As first-time homebuyers, we really didn't know what to expect. In one of the hardest markets, we were able to buy a home quickly with Anika and Julie's quick thinking and guidance. They have great connections for all of our homebuying needs. It was great working them both and I look forward to referring them to family and friends in the future.

My husband and I had a truly excellent experience with Anika and Julie. As a British couple relocating to CT, with a baby on the way and first time buyers, we were totally reliant on their expertise in finding a property at the right price point and in the right location. We spent almost every weekend for around 4 months touring properties with them of all shapes and sizes and it was clear they always had our best interest at heart, and nothing was ever an inconvenience. Most importantly in such a tough market, they always gave us an honest opinion on whether a property would be a good investment and would never have encouraged us into something that wasn’t right for us. Anika was excellent when it eventually came to putting an offer in – very quick to respond, maintained a great relationship with the sellers and gave us brilliant guidance along the way. They were also wonderful in sharing their local resources such as electricians and painters! We can’t recommend them highly enough if you’re looking to buy in CT!

We chose Anika & Julie because they had a better handle on digital marketing than their competition, which proved to be the case. They put hard work, and impeccable taste, into staging the house, They provided good feedback in the showing phase and played a key role in resolving issues in the final negotiations. The best experience I have had with realtors - by far. We have no hesitation recommending them.

Anika is everything you can hope for in a Real Estate advisor/agent. There are many agents who demonstrate knowledge and skills that set them apart, but there are very few that command such a grasp of their market and the ability to truly understand the needs of their clients.

When we first met Anika and Julie, her partner, we were so taken by their friendliness, their market knowledge and their professionalism, the latter of which is our top priority in selecting an agent. Simple enough, anyone would say, but what we’ve experienced with Julie and Anika is that a really great agent’s job only starts from there. What differentiates them first of all is a willingness to truly listen and accommodate their clients' needs. Then there is the quiet relentlessness that's required to keep looking for solutions when things get tough. Finally, they don’t walk away once they hand over the keys. They provided a wealth of local insights and contacts to smooth our transition to our new home. They're our first call for any questions we might have.

We worked with Anika for almost two years, first to find a rental home and then to purchase a home of our own. We can honestly say that Anika was the best real estate professional we have ever worked with, and we wouldn’t hesitate for a second to recommend her and her team. She was extremely knowledgeable about the town and the properties, highly responsive, and very detail oriented. While this was all helpful, I was most impressed by her attitude toward us and the home buying process. It was clear from day one that she truly cared about finding us a home that was right for our family, despite a very difficult market, and she went above and beyond on every occasion. By the end of the process, and we came to view her as a trusted friend.

You couldn’t ask for a better agent! Anika knew everything about the areas I was considering when I didn’t and expertly guided me to the right neighborhood and home. Navigated the buying process in Connecticut with ease. She’s smart, caring and responsive. There wasn’t a question or issue Anika wasn’t able to tackle and worked around the clock to get me the home I wanted in an aggressive market. She also has a fantastic team working with her. They took all the stress out of home buying and connected me with top rate local professionals from home inspectors to contractors. Truly a one stop shop!

Anika was extremely helpful connecting us to the right home in Darien. Her attention to detail, responsiveness, and positive energy was instrumental in our decision this summer. There are a lot of moving parts associated with buying a home in the suburbs and we valued the relationship we had with her in instilling confidence in us to move forward with the decision to purchase a home. Being a Darien resident herself, Anika’s extremely knowledgeable about the neighborhood and connected us to vendors that helped answer structural questions we had before pulling the trigger. Anika and Julie Bauer at BCB partners were very accommodating to us during a busy summer of demand in a hot market. We would highly recommend working with Anika if you are interested in buying a home in Fairfield county in general and Darien in particular.

Anika was fantastic to work with throughout all stages, helping us get to know the community better, making tons of useful recommendations, and quickly identifying what we were looking and showing us some great options that allowed us to find a perfect home. Further along in the process and after the offer was accepted, she remained thoroughly engaged and extremely proactive in keeping things on the rails. In particular she was instrumental in managing a difficult lender to ensure we were able to close on time. Would highly recommend working with her.
