Testimonials

"Laura is outstanding! Our buying journey was long with many ups and downs and Laura was always patient and there to provide valuable insight and connections to help our buying decision. She is kind, super thoughtful and very experienced! We couldn't provide a higher recommendation!"


Andrew Kennedy (New Canaan)

"My husband and I always say Laura was the perfect agent for us! We were very picky and what we wanted evolved over the course of the 3 years (!) that she worked with us. I can't even count how many houses she must have shown us but all the while she was sweet, cheerful, patient and always a joy to be with. Our kids love her too. She is a virtual encyclopedia of information on New Canaan and the surrounding towns. It was incredibly beneficial to work with Laura, a real local, since we were coming from a completely different area. Thanks to Laura we found our dream home; our forever home. (If not, we'll be calling her! ;-)"
Beverly Brokaw (Wilton, Connecticut)

"A job well done!
We chose Laura to represent the sale of our longstanding family home in New Canaan. As a long-term resident of town herself, we felt that she fully understood the nuances of the overall market as well as how our home would interact with the market. In short, she covered the macro elements to the microelements. She was able to provide us with a thorough market survey at the outset of the process as well as insight as to demand trends and the factors that can and do influence pricing. Beyond the numbers, she was also able to effectively advise on the types of improvements to the house/property that would add value and allow us to minimize time on the market. To wit, the house sold in less than a week. We are very pleased with the outcome and the process leading up to it."
Sue and Al Lawrence (New Canaan)

"I highly recommend Laura. Her knowledge of the market, her pleasant personality and her flexibility made it a great experience. She knows the CT market so well, which is a huge benefit. She provided me with lots of information.
Laura's work for me was outstanding."
Andy Guess (New Canaan, CT)

"Thank you for all your help with selling our home -- you were always willing to be there whenever I needed you. I'm thrilled for both you and I, for how quickly the house sold. I still see so many "For Sale" signs up all over town on houses that were up when my house was placed on the market! (Plus the winter is always a tough time to sell!)
Again, thanks for everything!"
Robin and The Sapanski Family


"It is my pleasure to write to you about Laura Danforth and her help with me in real estate. Laura always responds with cheerful enthusiasm and gets right back to me with all the information and more that I have requested on numerous occasions, for rentals and sales, whether in town or out of town. Laura always makes you feel special and has the answers immediately. I know she is busy with many other customers, but her efficiency and her alacrity makes me feel that I am her number one customer, and that she is available for any question, no matter how insignificant I think it might be. I have such confidence in Laura that I have given her name to many friends and even family who I hope will consider a move to the area. Laura adds charm and professionalism and thoroughness to her aesthetic presentations. It is a complete pleasure to work with Laura Danforth, who is the realtor of all time as far as I am concerned. And I have been a broker myself for over 20 years, so I know the business well and how demanding it can be. Laura is never frazzled, always thinks of options that may not have been considered and gives great respect to any situation a customer may find themselves in. I would only recommend Laura Danforth because she is simply the best!"
Ann Mungdinger


" I have known Laura for sometime now and have engaged her for professional Real Estate information and services over the last several years. Her positive disposition, her exceptional knowledge of the marketplace both in New Canaan and beyond and her incredible negotiating skills make her not only a valued business associate but a great friend as well.
If I had the wherewithal to trade properties for a living, I certainly would have Laura as a valued business associate as she is trustworthy and seems to rise above it all at each and every turn. In a marketplace riddled with blemishes, she's seems to get it right each and every time."
Paul Singman


" Laura Danforth was a true professional when it came to listing and selling my house. She reported to me each Friday what went on during the week. She thought outside the box and came up with many ideas how to sell my house. She even featured my house on Realtor.com, which increased the showings dramatically! She did regular mailings targeting buyers for my house and well planned advertisements all throughout the process. When no one else could find a buyer, Laura found a builder to purchase the property. I am truly grateful and it was a wonderful experience! "
Lorren West


"When we listed our house with Laura, we told her our motivation
was a quick sale but not to give the house away. She completed a "Competitive Market Analysis" and told us a range in which to sell our house. She recommended that we stay at the lower end of the range to achieve the quick sale. We agreed on a number and put the house on the market. It had multiple offers in the first week which lead to a bidding war. The house sold for more than we dreamed of. Our neighbor's house which was very similar sat on the market because it was listed at our selling price. Laura's guidance allowed us to achieve our goal!"
Phil Bivrell


"Laura was knowledgeable, hardworking and honest with us for our project, start to finish. Her local knowledge was impressive and she was very patient. She listened to our feedback and always followed up with what she said she would deliver."
Katy Elgie (New Canaan, CT)

"Laura worked tirelessly to sell my house in a very poor market. I am more that pleased with her efforts on my behalf."

"Laura Danforth helped negotiate and move along the short sale process as seamless as possible. She helped us lock in an interest rate, put us in contact with contractors and inspectors and was readily available for literally everything you could think of."

"Most professional in taking us through this process. Laura communicated with us in a timely manor and with the most pleasant demeanor. We highly recommend Laura as a real estate agent."
Mr. & Mrs.Nicholas Rutigliano (Stamford, CT)

"Laura Danforth did an outstanding job from beginning to end. She pursued every possible lead on my behalf, I couldn't have asked for more help or support. I have already recommended her to other buyers and sellers in the area."
