We would highly recommend Joe and his team. From our initial phone conversation to our closing, he demonstrated a deep knowledge of the market in Norwalk, confidence in our ability to sell our home and professionalism in how he approached the sale. He not only listed our home on the MLS, but also marketed it via social media. The result was a multitude of showings and a quick, stress-free sale of our home. We could not be happier with the outcome or the support provide by Joe and his team.

best closing so far, fast, got more than I thought, went very well

The whole process was relatively painless thanks to the Balestriere team. Joe and his team had my house sold within one week of the house being on the market for well above ask and with all the showings pretty much contained in a three-day period. I believe that was secondary to strategic marketing and the proper price. Joe came to my listing interview very prepared with comparable sales, the current competition and his thoughts about pricing. The whole process was extremely professional. He listened to my concerns, and he was very respectful of my wishes. I was certainly not the most expensive property Joe had listed at the time, but I honestly believed I was treated as if my listing was the best and only one he had. Joe texted and emailed me from overseas on vacation, now that is dedication. I cannot say enough good things about this experience. On another note, Joe is just a lovely person.

Joe is a GREAT agent, from the first day we met and he previewed our home he was confident that our home would sell well over our asking price and he was right! We sold for 37% more than asking. The entire process from beginning to end was seamless, we would 100% recommend Joe and his team.

We had a very positive and stress-free experience selling our condo with Joe Balestriere. Joe was incredibly attentive to our needs and beyond efficient in his marketing approach. The sale went through in record time as we got multiple offers within a few days of listing and closed above asking price. We couldn't be happier!!

I truly thought selling my home after 64 years would be a difficult journey, but Joe made the entire process feel smooth and manageable. From the very beginning, he treated me with such care and kindness that it felt like I was working with a member of my own family. His professionalism and expertise were evident quickly - my home sold in just one weekend, with over 20 showings and multiple strong offers. I was extremely pleased with the final result, as well as how quickly and seamlessly the closing process went. Thank you, Joe, for your guidance, patience, and support throughout this important transition. It meant so much to me and my family.

I recently worked with Joe Balestriere for both the purchase of my new home and the sale of my previous property, and the experience was exceptional. On the buying side, Joe truly took the time to understand our specific requirements. Despite a very challenging buyers' market, he never tried to rush a sale—a refreshing change from past experiences I’ve had with other agents. He also went above and beyond by leveraging his professional network to recommend high-quality contractors for the updates we wanted to complete on the new house. Regarding the sale of our existing home, Joe’s high volume in the region gives him a real-time pulse on the market. This expertise was invaluable for setting our expectations and identifying specific repairs that would maximize our sale price. He managed the process with incredible efficiency, securing a great price and closing the sale quickly. Overall, we really appreciated his patient, professional approach and were very happy with the results on both ends.

Joe was instrumental in helping us sell our home, and we couldn’t recommend him highly enough. He brings a rare combination of confidence and approachability that immediately puts you at ease. From day one, he demonstrated deep knowledge of the market and a clear, well-considered strategy tailored to our needs. His communication was direct, honest, and refreshingly realistic—he never over-promised or tried to inflate expectations just to win the listing. What stood out most was his responsiveness and consistency. Joe was always available, highly responsive, and proactive at every stage of the process. He took the time to genuinely listen, understood our priorities, and aligned his approach accordingly. There were no surprises, no false assurances—just sound advice, strong execution, and a strategy that delivered results. If you want an agent who knows the market, understands your needs, and backs the right strategy with clear action—without the sales theatrics—Joe is your person. Stephen & Emma Jordan

Joe and his team helped us navigate a stressful and competitive market. Joe was very attentive and showed us listings that aligned with what we were looking for, he set expectations when deciding and placing bids. We felt heard and very comfortable with Joe and the whole William Ravis team. It made what is a huge first purchase for us straightforward and we found a home we are thrilled with. Very grateful to Joe and team!!

The Balestriere Team is the BEST, ever, realtor I have met; myself a RE agent in 2013 and owner of multiple properties yet I would bow to Joe. Professional, persistent and patient, tactical but respectful and highly responsible...words pale in comparison to his team action. One solid example in 2025: tenant moved out at the end of lease on 5/30, my condo sell was signed contract on 6/4! In between the few weeks of late May and beginning of June Joe managed an amazing efficient round of several shows. And a result of two happy endings on both sides of the smooth and swift transaction - oh his recommended lawyer is a gem, too. Entrusted to Joe, I'm convinced either a homeowner or seeker would achieve outstanding goal!!

Working with Joe and his team was an absolute pleasure. His knowledge of the neighborhood and the area market was instrumental in selecting him to handle our house sale. Everyone he introduced or recommended for servicing our transaction was very professional and the process was very smooth. Even better, the time from listing to sales offer was incredibly short. I will recommend Joe and the Balestriere Team at William Raveis to everyone.

It was a pleasure working with Joe! His communication was excellent throughout the entire process, and his guidance was instrumental in helping me find the perfect home. Joe is not only a great real estate agent but an even better person. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell in Fairfield County!
