Their ability to help guide us to the best initial pricing and staging of our home led to 102 showings and 46 offers. They then prepared and presented all of the offers in a logical fashion that helped us to evaluate the financial, timing and risk associated with each offer and allowed us to reach our own conclusion as to which offer represented our ideal buyer. To say that they helped us reach the highest potential for our home sale is just well beyond a great understatement! Thank you both for your efforts on our behalf!

Asset Strategies' leader, Alan Rothstein, has been my financial advisor for over ten years now…read more During the financial crisis they safely guided my portfolio out of the Stock Market during record highs, and then back in when the markets quieted. This allowed me to sell at the high and reinvest at the lows! Portfolio has had significant returns during turbulent and non-turbulent times, w easy access to their expertise at all times. Their knowledge of taxes, management level knowledge of numerous funds' management, the markets, and investment psychology has been an integral part of my family's financial success. I've referred a number of friends to them w similar positive results... Personal service, the confidence of fee only services, and access to both legal and tax expertise, make this a winning combination.

At all times, he watches out for YOUR interests. He actively looks for ways to save YOU money. He was easy to reach on the phone and by email. He stayed in touch with us throughout the whole process and worked really well with our realtor and attorney. Our loan paperwork was prepared really well in advance, so there were no surprises with any of the numbers at the closing. John always took time to answer questions and made sure we understood all of the fees and closing costs. Thanks for taking some of the stress out of the process!!

He won't send you to voice mail or text you back because it's too loud in the sports bar. So anywayz, recently I needed to "talk to Chuck" in person.

EWWW" because it might as well be worlds away. I recommend Chuck.

We felt confident as we walked through homes and he pointed out things we never would have noticed. He was also very patient with us when we had no idea what we were doing -- as first time homebuyers, this was very important to us. A lot of questions were asked and Evan never gave the impression that he was annoyed or sick of us (haha). Definitely would recommend if you're looking to buy or sell a home in the greater Hartford area!

Incredibly Competent! Great Experience! Best Real Estate Agent!…read more My wife and I were first-time homebuyers. Evan Berman came highly recommended by a colleague of ours. Given current market conditions and uncertainty caused by the pandemic, we weren't sure what the home buying process would look like but thank goodness we had Evan on our side. We couldn't have asked for a better agent. He made the home buying process as smooth as possible with zero hiccups. Evan is very professional, knowledgeable, thorough and very responsive. He answered every single question we had, and then some. He is genuinely caring and always advocated with our best interest at heart. He has great connections with local home contractors, which have come in very handy, especially for first-time homebuyers like us. I highly recommend Evan and the Broder Group team to anyone looking to buy a house. I would definitely work with Evan again!

I've been recommending Julie Corrado as a realtor over the past 10+ years to clients, friends, and…read morefamily members planning on selling or buying a home. Julie has a team of experts and licensed contractors that she works with closely who has always been a go-to for improvements made within my house until I sold recently. I have attended several of Julie's home buying and selling preparation seminars where she discusses "getting your home ready for a sale" and has benefitted highly from these sessions. I slowly improved the home that would produce the greatest return on investments to a potential buyer. This past Fall, I decided to sell my home after 13 years, and Julie sent over her staging team to make affordable recommendations and yield the best results. The house was listed in the Winter and was sold in less than 3 days. Working with Julie was like a partnership and a comfortable process. She educated me every step of the process and allowed me to make the decisions that positioned me to sell the home for $50K over what the last home sold on my street a few months prior. My home sold for a record high compared to other houses on the same street. I never felt the need to compromise or felt forced into settling - the offers were multiple. The Corrado Team and Julie's especially have developed an art and science about the process of selling a home effectively. I have great pride and feel a sense of comfort sending any future home buyers or sellers to her. I never have to follow through because her process is consistent, and the experience is long-term.

From start to finish, Doug Firtel (owner of Closing Management LLC) was excellent to work with on…read morethe closing of our first home. If you want a down to earth, regular guy who knows his stuff, select Closing Management to take care of your closing needs. If you want a stuffy, fancy lawyer in a 3 piece suit then go elsewhere. I can't say enough good things about Closing Management. The fees were cheaper than several other offices we spoke with and our real estate agent highly recommended them because she had used them for her personal closings. Our bank jerked around our closing date with 3 days to spare and Closing Management was able to still have everything ready to go and things went smoothly.

We recently (April 2017) used Michele Parrotta and her staff at Closing Management to handle the…read morereal estate transaction for our home in West Hartford. A home we lived in for over 23 years. Michele also handled our prior transaction 23 yrs ago. Both closings executed with skill and the utmost professionalism and it is a pleasure to act as a reference for this superb firm. Throughout the process they kept us informed of the status of the closing, any pending issues with our buyer and they even handled all negotiations with our vendors and especially our bankers and made sure all notes were paid off and covered through this transaction. We left CT and moved to CO and we did not even need to be at the closing. Closing Management took care of every issue and are really a delight to do business with. We highly recommend them to anyone doing real estate transactions in CT. If only they could handle the Governor and the Legislature with such expertise, we probably would not have left. But then again with a 1.7 billion hole, not even Closing Management can fix CT.
