Testimonials

"We will always be deeply grateful to Leslie for locating the house of our dreams, and serving as an intrepid and tireless advocate throughout the entire process. In every way and by every metric, she is absolutely the best -- a consummate professional with a keen knowledge of the CT market and an uncanny ability to translate a customer's wish-list into their new address, a tough negotiator who's always loyal and on the lookout for the interests of her clients, plus amazing charisma and a rare zest for life that make the house-hunting process with her an absolute pleasure. We cannot recommend Leslie highly enough!" A.C. and B.H., Redding, CT

"I recently moved to the Westport/Weston area after living many years in NYC so I was unfamiliar with the local real estate market. Leslie was a great at listening to what I was looking for in terms of a home and very insightful by explaining the pros/cons of the various neighborhoods based on my preferences. She was very efficient when arranging properties to visit and once I settled on a particular house she was very helpful during a difficult negotiation process. The seller was difficult to deal with, but Leslie never tired. She was truly in my corner. In summary, Leslie is very diligent, thoughtful and fun to work with!" Kenneth Everding, Weston

"Over many years, my husband and I have sold a house, bought a house, and found renters for a property with the help of Leslie Riback. Our repeatedly using her as our agents should tell you all you need to know about how good she is at what she does. We have worked with Leslie over a period of years when the real estate market has been good, bad, and disastrous, and her advice in each situation has always been sound, helpful, and, most important, effective. And our relationship goes far beyond real estate To say she is a full-service agent is quite an understatement. We really consider her to be our friend."  Susan Fisher and Gary Schieneman, Westport, CT
