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.
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.
Judy helped us sell our home of 20 years in Westport. We owned an antique home with endless character and possibility . She sold our home to one of the first buyers who viewed the home. Her thoroughness and thoughtfulness is unparalleled . Judy knows how to negotiate deftly and knows what the market will provide. Judy was recently voted the best real estate agent in Westport and she deserves this accolade. We would give her more stars!!! We are happily moving to the West Coast to be with our children .Our life in Westport was a golden nugget and Judy helped to make this transition seamless. Thank you Judy.

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.
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!
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.
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.
Outstanding service! Judy Michaelis is experienced, responsive and highly professional throughout the entire process. She helped us to sell our house in the most efficient way. Highly recommend.
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.
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.
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 three 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!" Lori & David Sochol
Judy Michaelis, and her team, deliver an impressive overall home selling and home buying experience with a personal touch. Judy's local market knowledge, connections, and real estate experience came in handy on so many occasions for me. It also helped that Judy understands the 'legal speak' in the purchase and sale agreements. With an experienced professional like Judy on your side, the whole process is smooth and uncomplicated.
