Testimonials

"We were first time homebuyers looking to move to Fairfield Country from NYC and Gail could not have made the process easier / more streamlined, from start to finish. Gail knew the ins and outs of each house we looked at and if she didn't know the answer, was able to find it within minutes. She is very connected in the area which helped us expedite our final offer, which led to a very quick accepted offer (during a chaotic time in the housing market nonetheless!) What is usually a very stressful process was seamless because of her overall experience, and expertise in Fairfield County. The day we looked at the first house, to the final day of closing we had a wonderful experience with Gail and would highly recommend her to anyone else looking in the area." Maddie and Mike Bartlett

"One Fantastic Realtor! Gail did a fantastic job selling our Cotswold Cottage and finding the perfect people to buy it!" Brian and Cindy Meehl

"Gail is the best. I have known and worked with Gail for over 15 years. Gail is professional and responsive, but also warm and kind. She has been in the RE business for over 30 years and knows the Westport/Weston market cold. Whether assisting with a buyer or seller Gail brings a wealth of knowledge to each of her real estate transactions. She has sold two of my homes and I wouldn't trust any other real estate agent with my properties. Gail Zawacki is just the best. "Kathy Koslow

“We've worked with Gail for more than 20 years and relied on her skill and knowledge over three separate transactions. We would recommend her to anyone wishing to buy or sell a home in Fairfield county.” Mark Barber

"My husband and I have worked with Gail Zawacki through 3 home sales and purchases in Weston, CT. We have complete confidence in her knowledge of the market and home selling and buying process. Each time we found ourselves in the market, we turned to Gail with the comfort of knowing we’d be in good hands. Gail’s work ethic and drive cannot be matched. She puts a tremendous amount of herself into the support of her clients and their needs. Two of our purchases were complicated processes including a release from a tax lien with a former owner and a foreclosure. Gail was diligent and on top of each step of a very laborious and at times, frustrating process to be sure that things moved along as efficiently as possible while still looking out for our needs. I cannot recommend her highly enough. Gail Zawacki pro.” Stephanie and Jay Ugol

"As first time home buyers moving from NYC to Connecticut, Gail was the perfect real estate agent to help us make the transition. She was extremely knowledgeable about the market, especially as things changed with the height of the pandemic. She was always able to ensure we were one of the first to view houses we wanted to see, while also be respectful of not wasting our time on houses that would not suit our needs. She helped us navigate a multi offer situation in the span of 24 hours, and was extremely connected to make sure our inspection, lawyer and other necessities were lined up promptly. If you are looking for someone who has your best interest and is well connected with the market, Gail is your person. For someone who grew up and raised a family in the area, she has great insight into different neighborhood pockets and school systems. 10/10 would recommend to any future buyers." Brent Gerst and family

"...A seamless process. Gail helped us navigate a challenging buyers market and was thorough and quick throughout the process. As soon as our offer was accepted, Gail had the inspection lined up. As a result of her preparedness, we were able to close with financing in less than 30 days. Thank you, Gail for your help!" Austin Smyth and Bonnie Guthrie

Gail made, what could have been an arduous experience, seamless. Her knowledge of, and dedication to, the intricacies of the real estate market was what, as a seller, I relied on. Gail certainly knows her craft." Lori and Robert Wolvek

"We looked at a lot of property all over lower Fairfield County. Gail was very patient with us. She carefully informed us of the pros and cons of each location and identified specific issues with each property. Gail has strong listening skills and this yielded a close to ideal property for us in a bucolic neighborhood." Luke and Holly

"Gail Zawacki has been a critical piece of the home buying and selling process for our family for 4 different transactions in Fairfield County in just the last 8 years. She has been an amazing resource, helping representing us on both ends of the home sale transaction. Gail's local market knowledge (Weston/Westport/Southport/Fairfield) and her connections in the industry proved invaluable in the offer process each time. She also will birddog the details so that the closing happens on schedule. Gail has our very highest recommendation." Kim Guthrie

"Gail was recommended to us as an expert in Westport, CT real estate. We were looking to buy a home in Westport and were somewhat familiar with the town, but she provided unique insights that were critical to us throughout the home buying process. In addition to guiding us through the process as first time buyers, she helped answer questions on schools, neighborhoods, commuting considerations and anything else we thought of. While she was always extremely knowledgeable, experienced and professional, she really excelled at helping to solve some issues during the negotiation. In addition, Gail was on top of every little detail and very responsive. She connected us with all of the right people to help close on our purchase. We cannot say enough positive things about our experience working with Gail. She is the only realtor we would use in Fairfield County if ever in the market again." Jonathan and Kristen Gerst

"Gail shepherded our family through an extraordinarily difficult pandemic crisis, to sell our home of 30 years! It was a unique property with very specific challenges, each of which Gail approached with utmost positive energy and pragmatism. She was always patient and professional with us as we tackled the logistical and emotional tasks of moving out, preparing the property for the market, and, in no time at all, navigating the sale. If you decide to work with Gail, you can be sure that she'll use her wealth of experience to get the job done quickly and without compromises. She will fight in your corner every step of the way." Christian Chapman

"My husband and I worked with Gail for over a year and a half navigating the tumultuous process of first time homebuying during the pandemic. Gail was a true partner throughout the journey, caring about us personally and professionally. She has strong relationships and referrals to help those new to the process stay proactive, organized, and well represented. Gail puts a tremendous amount of effort and care into her clients - she was available whenever we needed her - and was always an advocate when we needed. We cannot recommend Gail enough!" J Keplesky
