About Claudia O'Connell

EXPERIENCE
I'm a Connecticut native who brings more than 15 years of cutting edge sales and marketing expertise to The Huscher Group. My clients value my honest and clear approach to communication and my understanding of the home buyer/seller investment in real estate. I take care to keep my clients informed throughout the sales cycle.

Every home has intrinsic value and it's my job to represent and market that value. I will take the business of your real estate transaction seriously.

I have a keen understanding of the local market and a home's true value.

I am a thoughtful, intelligent professional who treats others with respect and makes deals happen. Respectfully relating with all parties to a transaction (clients, agents, lenders, inspectors, appraisers, attorneys) is the key to a great home buying and selling experience.

Best skills - reading people and communicating with clarity and kindness.
I love Connecticut! I appreciate our AMAZING location nestled midway between two important metro areas - Boston and NYC. The shoreline is what keeps me here. I've lived in Rhode Island, the Sugarbush Valley in Vermont, and Chicago, Illinois, so I appreciate the diverse reasons people use when deciding where to settle down.

Claudia was extremely helpful and knowledgeable throughout my entire home buying journey. She assisted me, as a first time home buyer, by outlining the exact steps I needed to follow throughout, and provided great connections along the way, which I used to have a successful and smooth home buying process. Claudia did everything I could ask, and more, from sending me home searches daily, providing comparisons to other homes in the neighborhoods I was looking, and giving expert knowledge while touring the homes with me. She is always responsive and willing to answer any question I had. Claudia sent me the house that I ended up buying, answered any questions I had viewing the house, and provided great communication with the seller's agent. She explained any documents I had to sign, and gave guidance on creating a strong offer, which I thank for finding the home I'm in now. She is exceedingly professional, friendly, and able to provide skills that are invaluable when purchasing a home. I'd highly recommend to anyone.

I must say that Claudia did an AMAZING JOB in helping me with my hunt for a new place of my own. Moving from another state, she made sure that I was comfortable in all transactions. The whole process was the easiest I have ever experienced. that is saying quite a lot since in my lifetime I had bought and sold 7 properties!. The only word that comes to mind when hearing her name is EXCELLENT. Knowledgeable, professional, and simply the best communicator. Claudia always went above and beyond what I had ever expected. Thank you Claudia

Phenomenal experience working with Claudia over our long journey of searching for a house during the pandemic. She was patient and understanding concerning my pickiness, but quickly learned what we were looking for and I could tell she listened to our thoughts and concerns. Always quick to help with questions and guide us as first time homebuyers in a crazy market. Appreciated her thoroughness in negotiations, showing us the right questions to ask and look for windows of opportunity. Overall created a smooth and efficient closing process, helping us feel comfortable and at ease.

Our experience with Claudia was an absolutely amazing! We moved from out of state and I am truly not sure how we would have gotten through the process without Claudia. She was thorough, responsive, and, above all, honest. Claudia truly cares about her clients and is never bothered to take her time to ensure things go well. We love our adorable new home! By the time we got to Connecticut, Claudia was not only our realtor, but felt like a friend. We will never use another Connecticut realtor. Thank you, Claudia!!

Claudia is a DREAM to work with. She helped us buy a beautiful home in a tough market. We definitely would not have gotten this house without her help and great negotiation skills. Claudia was so communicative and in our corner every step of the way. She truly became part of our family. I cannot recommend her highly enough. She is kind, prompt, professional, and down to earth. It felt like house hunting with a best friend. Claudia was deeply invested in our familys needs and protective of us in the most helpful ways. Thanks to her we didnt go with our initial choice which would have been a disaster! Claudia, we are so grateful to you. THANK YOU!
