ZillowVERIFIEDI highly recommend Allyson Cotton and the A team. Allyson is professional, motivated, knowledgeable and very fun to work with. Even though she is very busy, she always made us feel like we were her most important listing. She is very active in the community and knows the market better than anyone. She gave us sound advice that allowed us to quickly sell our house. Selling a house is stressful and Allyson did an amazing job in making the process go smoothly. Allyson is so charismatic and a joy to work with. She is the best!

ZillowVERIFIEDAllyson is the PERFECT REALTOR. She combines enthusiasm, professionalism, compassion and knowledge to get results. My husband and I chose nine homes for her to show us. We chose her listing to purchase on day two of the viewings. She wrote up the contract, she recommended a fantastic Attorney and we closed in six weeks. Everything went smoothly. She attended the inspections for us, answered all our questions immediately or got answers if needed. Always one step ahead with an excellent supportive real estate team behind her. We felt as if we were her only clients. Attention to details and a good hand holder. We loved working with Allyson, and we understand why shes been at the Top of the Real Estate Agent List for so long.

ZillowVERIFIEDThere's a host of reasons Allyson Cotton has a reputation as one of the best agents around. Our relocation to Connecticut (from a distance) was fraught with anxieties and unusual logistical details, as well as the expected steps in the process of nailing the right deal on the right house. Allyson went "beyond the call of duty" in multiple ways, and we simply would not have made it to the house of our dreams without her professional, prompt and persistent assistance.She knows her stuff better than most, knows the area and all its players well, and acts quickly to get answers to all questions. We'd give her and her team "6 stars," if it were allowed.

ZillowVERIFIEDAllyson is the best of the best! She gave great advice on staging our home in a cost-effective way, and she and her photographer did an amazing job with the listing photos. With her guidance, we accepted an offer just 2 days after we listed, which allowed us to purchase the perfect home for our family. Allyson remained in constant contact throughout the process, with endless patience and quick responses to each question and concern. She suggested excellent inspectors and contractors for inspection fixes on both ends (our purchase and sale), while negotiating with both realtors to keep us on track for our closing date. She walked us through the complicated process of selling/buying and moving in/out in one day. We truly benefited from her friendly, fair and always-optimistic approach, along with her extensive experience and knowledge, and we couldn't be happier with the result!

ZillowVERIFIEDFirst of all, Allyson sold our home that was a historic house that was on and off the market for a long time. Secondly she sold us a house within a small time frame from selling the prior house. Lastly, she sold the latter home we lived in less than 2 years in one week. In each case she knew the market and the demographics. She gave us advice on how to edit, and we took it. She was always available and patient in showing houses. At closing times when issues came up she either handled them or told us how to handle them with ease, which gave us peace of mind, and to focus on moving. We were fortunate to have her as an agent and would recommend her highly.

ZillowVERIFIEDOur agent was Allyson Cotton and she was wonderful to us and to work with. Our journey with Allyson lasted nearly a year and she exhibited awesome people skills and helped us navigate through the shopping process and guided us nicely through the closing. We were looking at new construction and found what we wanted in uncasville. The contractor used a listing agent that wasn't up to the task and Allyson, thankfully was our lifeline. Our experience with the sellers agent would not have been palatable if it wasn't for Allison's heavy lifting. We would use Allyson to sell our home or to shop for another and would freely recommend her to anyone needing a prepared, qualified, engaged agent!

ZillowVERIFIEDWith a pending job relocation, we needed to sell our house fast! And, with thanks to Allyson Cotton and her team, we did! We had the house under contract within 36 days (in a market that averaged 108 days on market)! Allysons professionalism, guidance and actions were instrumental in making this happen. Room by room, she provided us with in-depth recommendations and suggestions for staging to help showcase our homes best features. Allyson and her team held an open house almost every weekend, conducted aggressive social media marketing campaigns, and provided us realistic feedback and regular market updates to help keep our property in front of the competition. Once under contract, Allyson kept the process moving, providing suggestions for vendors and help with repairs and moving. We highly recommend Allyson for all your real estate needs!

ZillowVERIFIEDAllyson was able to handle a particularly complex deal with impressive ease, professionalism, and success. She was responsive to communication, went above and beyond what most real estate agents would do to ensure a smooth sale, helping me to get the right people for final moving, and doing so with a terrific sense of humor and compassion. Working with Allyson was a joy - I would recommend her without any hesitation!

ZillowVERIFIEDWe were totally impressed with Allyson the first time we met her and we are very grateful that she far exceeded our expectations! Allyson was our Realtor on two separate occasions and she consistently handled each bump in the road with total professionalism and calmness. During our move from Ct. to NJ, most of our crystal was left behind by the moving company. Allyson volunteered to make the 1/2 drive from her office to our home to pick it up, wrap it perfectly, and then meet us halfway in Stamford to hand deliver it to us. Total dedication to her job and her clients, a rarity today. We highly recommend Allyson for her total professionalism, positive attitude & knowledge. You won't be disappointed! Bill & Mary Bernecker

ZillowVERIFIEDJust closed on my first home! Moved to CT from our of state and could not have asked for more or of my realtor. She scheduled showings for all of the the available places I wanted to see in one weekend without feeling rushed we got them all. She got a feel for what I wanted most and we ended up fooding it in Norwich. Not only was she awesome and knowledgeable for the house hunting portion but helped me cradle to the grave through the entire process. My highest recommendation for anyone!

ZillowVERIFIEDI recently bought a house in Waterford with Allyson's help. She was extremely helpful, committed and really wanted to find the best house for my needs. I was living out of Staye so I only had a weekend to househunt and she took me on a whirlwind of a tour, we visited over 20 homes in 2 days and she even gave me a tour of the area and I feel like she truly understood what I was looking for and what my needs were. When decision time came to put offers, she was extremely patient as I had a very hard time making a decision. She showed me comps in those areas and helped me make an informed choice... She was also great at negotiating with the seller and helped me throughout the whole process. Allyson is the best realtor I've ever bought or sold a home with. By the end of the process I felt like I gained a friend and I feel so blessed to have found her.

ZillowVERIFIEDWe recently sold our home with Allyson as our agent. Having lived in the area for many years, we were familiar (and friends with) many agents, but we chose Allyson for her professionalism, positive attitude, and knowledge of the local market.She was incredibly helpful in preparing us and the house for sale and arranging everything--comps, regular updates on the market, a well-written listing, photographer, as well as pep talks whenever necessary. We were out of town for much of the time, so Allyson would check on the house often and was always available when we needed her.Her energy and enthusiasm for her work made the entire process a positive experience and we would recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a house in southeastern Connecticut.

ZillowVERIFIEDAllyson Cotton helped my wife and I find and buy our beautiful new home in Old Saybrook, CT in June, 2016. I would recommend Allyson to anyone looking for a realtor willing to put in the time and effort to find the perfect home for you. Before we found Allyson, we had tried working with a few other realtors and ran into some issues aEUR" realtors showing up late, being unprepared, or pressuring us to buy houses we didnt love just to close a deal quickly. Those were never issues with Allyson. Shes diligent, thorough, personable, and extremely knowledgeable in the southeastern Connecticut housing market. We looked at dozens of houses in Essex, Old Saybrook, and Old Lyme over several months, trying to find just the right home. Allyson always showed up exactly on time to our appointments, prepared with knowledge of the property and printouts of the house specs for us to take home. She was great at following up about homes we expressed interest in, but never pushy. Allyson also gave us valuable feedback in advance of visiting a house. She quickly learned our taste in a future home, and she helped weed out the bad fits so we wouldn't have to waste our time. When we finally found the right home for us, Allyson helped us navigate the home buying process, and recommended both an excellent inspector and an excellent attorney. Even after we closed on the house, Allyson stopped by to congratulate us with flowers and a Lowes giftcard to help kickstart our home improvement projects. From top to bottom, Allyson was professional, friendly, and the absolute perfect realtor for us. Id recommend her to friends and family in a heartbeat.

ZillowVERIFIEDAllyson was cheerful and very helpful. We saw 24 houses in 2 days on my first house hunting trip from out of state, which is what I needed. She knows all the roads and is well connected with the community. She found a house with everything I wanted and I was picky. She made relocation a smoother transition by meeting with inspectors at the house for me while I was still out of state. She recommended various vendors when I asked for suggestions and they have all proven to be reliable. She even brought a snow shovel my first weekend in the new house because a big storm was coming and I didn't have my stuff yet. Allyson will go above and beyond for her clients and is very quick to respond to any communications. Not only did she show me houses, but she truly introduced me to the area showing me key locations and taking me to some of my now favorite local shops. On my marathon house hunting weekend she brought snacks which was a lifesaver on such a concentrated time. She has the customer in mind.

ZillowVERIFIEDI had a great experience working with Allyson selling my house. She knew I wanted to sell fast and thats exactly what we did!She came in and knew precisely what I needed to do to prepare the house before we put it on the market. Once the house was prepared to her standards and put on the market, it showed extremely well! Allyson worked very hard to find me a buyer. She did so quickly and with little effort on my part. Once offers came in, I trusted her advice during negotiations and it really payed off!Thanks Allyson! I really enjoyed working with you!

ZillowVERIFIEDAllyson's knowledge of the local market and trends is incredible. After seeing numerous houses over the course of a few months we put in an offer on the first house she showed us, a short sale. She was there to help guide us every step of the way. From always being available to answer a question from a nervous first-time home buyer to offering advice about inspections and the closing process she was engaged. Allyson took an extremely stressful short sale and made it manageable. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of an experienced and personable agent.

ZillowVERIFIEDI recently purchased my first home and was set up with Allyson. I was nervous because I didn't know much about the home buying process. I was able to rest easy with Allyson on my side. She was incredibly patient with me as she explained the process. I was always able to contact her by phone, text or email. She was very prompt to schedule visits and was very knowledgeable about potential home repairs.When we found the house, Allyson was able to recommend inspectors and an attorney. Everyone that she recommended was great! As the closing date got closer and things still needed to be done Allyson was able to get things done quickly. It was a great experience to work with Allyson and I would recommend her to anyone!

ZillowVERIFIEDAllyson Cotton made finding a house incredibly easy. She took notes on the specific features and locations I was interested in and helped me narrow down the field of available houses. In the end, she helped me find exactly what I was looking for, helped me negotiate a great deal, and saw the process through to the end. I highly recommend Allyson if you are looking to purchase a house. I look forward to working with her the next time I am in the market.

ZillowVERIFIEDBuying a home with Allyson's assistance was extremely smooth and issue free. Her attention to detail during every phase of the buying process was impressive. Thanks to her careful monitoring of the process to include inspections, negotiations, and communication with the seller's agent, we were able to close on time and without unnecessary delays. She displayed a high level of professionalism at all times and kept us informed of every potential issue. I will look no further for realtors in my area, she is our 'to go' realty expert. Her honesty and candid assessments were right on point every time. We trusted her to have our best interest in mind in everything she did and she DELIVERED!. Thanks for a great experience and beautiful home!

ZillowVERIFIEDWe came to meet Allyson Cotton initially through a referral to her brokerage, and after a conversation with her office manager, Maureen Swarts. Maureen and I had a lengthy conversation about what type of property we were looking for, and in what location. She felt as though Allyson would be a good fit for us, and serve us well. Was Maureen ever right! After several phone conversations before meeting, Allyson spent a day with us, showing us every type of property we would potentially be interested in. I think we were all surprised when the second to the last area she showed us was exactly what we were looking for. We could not be more pleased with her methodical, professional way of presenting the properties to us. She is very approachable and so pleasant. Allyson is very easy to work with. She gets the job done! We highly endorse Allyson Cotton!

ZillowVERIFIEDAllyson was amazing from start to finish. Moving from a different state, her knowledge of the area was invaluable to our search. She saved us countless hours of seeing houses that we would not have been happy with by her extensive knowledge of the properties in the area. I feel that she went above and beyond for us every step of the way, and I would seek out her services if I decide to move again.
