View All ListingsWorking with Mitchell was my pleasure. I was very happy with the pictures for the listing, the knowledge and prompt responses on all questions. He was on top of everything and kept me very well informed every step of the way. Thank you so much! I would highly recommend!
Camilo is a dedicated and hard-working realtor who goes above and beyond for his clients. He's personable, incredibly flexible, and always works diligently to ensure a smooth and successful real estate experience.
Max did an amazing job supporting me throughout my first home buying journey, and helped me purchase my dream home! He knows the area very well, was incredibly generous with his time, and spent hours walking me through the process and making sure I felt confident at every step (in a very crazy market!). Whenever something came up that we were unsure of, hed do the research and come back with a thorough answer and plan. He also connected me with a great lender and lawyers. Throughout an intense process, Max was consistently present and supportive. I highly recommend working with him!
Great experience, he took me to every property I wanted to see. I had a very tight budget and he didnt give up. He helped me through the entire process from offer to closing.
Max was a great agent. We were new to the area and Max helped us find the house that was right for us, got us a great deal, and made the whole process as seamless as possible. I would highly recommend him.
Max did an excellent job helping us find and purchase our home in Milford. He worked around our schedules to arrange showings, was incredibly helpful during negotiations, and generally seemed very knowledgeable throughout the whole process. He was very responsive and made the home buying process easier. If we ever sell this home, I would use him again and would highly recommend him to anyone else looking for a dependable and knowledgeable realtor!
Didnt take long before I realized Matthew was truly on our side in the home buying process. Not only was Matt incredibly responsive and actively engaging with selling agents, he also provided some stability and patience through the ups and downs of buying a home. Truly a gem, cant recommend enough.
We plan to downsize from our family home to a condo. We drove 30 minutes to see a property we were seriously considering making an offer on today and arrived 5 minutes late. Shed left and sent a nasty text about wasting her time. Seller lost out on a sale because of this agent.
I was asked to sign an indemnity agreement just to view a property, which would have made me liable for any and all claimsaEUR"even if the agent herself was injured during the showing. When I requested the scope be narrowed (a common and reasonable practice), the agent was dismissive and told me to aEURoefind another agent.aEUR? With 20 years in construction, I can say this is not customary. Always read contracts before you sign themaEUR"this one exposed me to unreasonable, uncapped liability.
Gena and her team did an excellent job in helping me to sell my commercial property. I highly recommend GRL Realtors,LLC.
She is an excellent realtor and very professional and helped us find our dream home, She is very knowledgeable about the market and gave us excellent advice. I highly recommend her.
Gena was great to work with when my elderly Dad wanted to sell a parcel of land. She was patient and knowledgeable with both of us right up to and including the closing. I would highly recommend Gena!
I have worked with several different agents in the past and decided to go with Kristy Vaiuso who I found very randomly on Zillow. I am so glad I did. I was very impressed with her level of expertise and professionalism. She was there every step of the way; before the sale, during the sale and after the sale. She always had my back and kept me updated every step of the way. She went above and beyond literally. This was in regards to the selling of my home and the buying of another home. If you are looking for a realtor who you can trust, gets right to the point, a straight shooter, highly motivated to assist her client fulfill their real estate needs. I highly recommend her as I was 100% satisfied. You will not be disappointed.
Alway upbeat and informative. One house we were planning to see was one she had recently been to and without being asked let us know one downside was the nearby freeway noise could easily be heard from the yard. So we were able to not take the time to go there since the noise mattered to us.
She is not professional, not trustworthy , and has no respect for someone time. We schedule to see a property at 2 oclock. I traveled a hour to meet with her to see the property. I get there she does not pick up her phone, does not show up , and did not give me the common courtesy to call me. To let me know she wasnt showing up.
She was on time and very professional this was my first encounter and I only saw one house. We promised to meet up after and she has kept in touch since then.
Not enough words to express my gratitude to GRL Realtors, ESPECIALLY Mr. Dean Lockery !He was so patient, professional, kind, to guide me through this process with his expertise !Sincerely, Linda from New Haven, Ct
Dean Lockery is an outstanding realtor and I highly recommend him to anyone who is buying or selling a property!My wife and I were looking for a house for my daughter and we were becoming frustrated because we couldn't find what we wanted until we met Dean. Dean demonstrated excellent listening skill sets and he quickly found a few properties that were perfect for us. The property that we decided on was a short sale and Dean "held our hands" and skillfully guided us through the entire process. His enthusiasm, optimism and his tireless efforts helped assure us that we would get the property for the price we wanted. He was always available to answer our questions or to negotiate with the seller and their bank when needed. In the end, my daughter got the house that is perfect for her and at a bargain price ! We were so happy with Dean that we recommended him to our other daughter, when she was selling her house, and it was sold in two days.In summary, we are very appreciative of Dean for all of his efforts and I highly recommend him to anyone who is buying or selling their property.
From the beginning she responded promptly and concisely with questions and requests.She was always pleasant and respectful. A joy to work with.There were some issues with water damage, she arranged for the repair person to enter the unit She promptly reported on the results of the incident. She was always willing to allow our entrance into the.
Gena is the best agent we have come across in 15 years of buying properties. She is superbly diligent, responsive, attentive and very knowledgeable of the real estate market. In fact we were so impressed we asked her to handle a separate transaction on our behalf. Couldn't have asked for a better agent. Highly recommend.
We got so lucky having Gena as our agent! We were house hunting for a short period of time, but we instantly knew when we walked into our dream home. We replied to a listing on Zillow and Gena didnt leave our side since. The day we met her, she not only welcomed us to her office, but she welcomed us to the world of real estate. Shes friendly, down to earth, intelligent, diligent, organized, and consistently kept our best interest in mind. She defended us when needed defending and celebrated with us the day of our closing. We can easily say Gena will be a friend of our family for the years to come and look forward to recommending her to friends and family in the future! Thanks for everything Gena, we love ya!
Dean Lockery was very helpful! He made the process of buying our house super easy and fast. Whenever something came up, Dean was always on top of updating us on what was going on through the process of purchasing our new home. Any questions we had, he would always have an answer ready. We would highly recommend him!!
Worked super hard and is super knowledgeable about the process. Also has a great network of professional contacts that make dealing with typical problems associated with homebuying headache-free. 100% will work with her again in the future, 10/10 would recommend.
Initially, when I had decided to move into a new place, it was a bit confusing for me to choose, but one fine day I just got lucky to get in contact with Dean Lockery through Zillow regarding an apartment in New Haven. Honestly, the whole process of updating about the locality, helping me out with the required list of documents and finally convincing me to choose the best apartment was very systematic and it just happened because of his relentless efforts! Just incase you are on a house hunt, I would strongly recommend you to get in touch with him to choose the best for you too! Thanks :)

Dean Lockery was an absolute professional and accommodating to our every need. When you called to reach him, it was an immediate answer. Our condo was put up for sale the third week of Nov. 2019 and Sold in 10 days. We closed on Dec. 10th, 2019. I will certainly recommend him to anyone I know buying or selling any Real Estate. A real pleasure to work with!!!Dean, Thank You So Much!!Janet
Gena is amazing to work with. I would recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a house. I purchased an investment property and she guided me every step of the way. She also listed the home for rent, screened potential renters taking a huge burden off me, rented in less then a week! Will only use Gena for any future real estate needs!
I've done quite a few transactions with Gena - she is very knowledgeable, attentive, and puts her clients interests first time after time. She has assisted me with both commercial and residential transactions and knows most everybody in the business in New Haven.
Great! Personable and outgoing. Always gets back to me as soon as she can. She will go out of her way to help me. I have to ask for weird times due to my work schedule and crazy hours. She never complains, and will answer all of my questions.
Gena was a joy to work with. She was able to connect us to great inspectors, local mortgage companies, and anything else we needed. She responds so quickly and is always kind and approachable. She got us into our house right away, and we can't thank her enough! Highly recommended.
Gena is fantastic! She's wonderful to work with and really responsive. She answered all of our questions, walked us through everything and made us feel comfortable with the whole process. We highly recommend her!
My wife and I headed out to New Haven to find a new home only having visited once before. We knew very little about the area or home buying in general as this was to be our first house. Upon meeting Gena at the first house we toured, we were immediately put at ease. She is knowledgeable, honest, diligent, and made the only day we were in town a great experience. We found a beautiful home in Spring Glen within our price range thanks to her. Her help didn't stop there. She put us in contact with a fantastic lender, home inspector, and law office to make the entire process seamless. She is always willing to help put you in touch with experts in the area who can help with anything you may need. We can't recommend Gena enough!
Gena is very professional and honest realtor and broker. My husband and I knew we made the right choice in a realtor to help us look for our two investment properties. Gena will always be the realtor we will continue to use for any property we purchase in the future. We both highly recommend her to friends as well as family members.
I first met Gena on Zillow, and she is a kind, professional, and no-nonsense realtor. When my search fell flat, she found me a place not on Zillow yet that was perfect for me, and my family. She made the entire process easy, fun, and low-stress. Knowledgeable, professional, knows New Haven, and had a great closing lawyer and mortgage broker. Couldn't ask for a better realtor. Thanks Gena! We love our new home!
Gena helped me buy two investment properties that I'm doing very well with. I would highly recommend her to anybody who's looking to purchase a home. Thank you Gena for your kindness, patience and professionalism!
My experience with Gena was superb! Not only is she a hard worker who seems to answer emails around the clock, but she is easy to get along with and not pushy. She really takes your personal wants and needs into consideration and tries to find you the perfect place. Also, she lives in New Haven and provides local expertise.
Gena pleasantly surprised me with her knowledge of New Haven, and her attention to detail. She helped find the right property for me. She was the right person for the job! I would recommend her to any friend or family member.
I purchased a home this year and Gena was my realtor. Not only is she beyond professional, she made this experience a great one as well as a very smooth process. She was constantly in touch with me and truly allowed me to enjoy the journey of purchasing my own home. I have, and will ALWAYS recommend Gena to anyone looking for a home.
I've known Gena for a while now. I've seen her work with my parents to sell their home. She was very helpful in providing her expertise and always positive and honest. She's very dedicated and always in constant contact and communication. She has also helped my brother purchase a home and again was exceptional. Recently she has helped me purchase my first home. She recommanded the right people when I needed them and she was never late to any of the appointments we set. She is very knowledged and I was always calling her for questions and concerns and she always had an answer and was full of reassurance. She knew what type of property I wanted, what neighborhood I was looking for as well as my price range and tried her very best to provide me with a slew of options that I can review. She was very professional in showing me the places and had a lot of patients with me and my family - our requirements for a home were very tough - but she successfully helped. She's very professional and pleasent person to work with and know.
My experience with Gena and GRL Realtors was nothing more than fantastic ! She provided me with all my requirements I was looking for in my search for occupancy .. She was always there when I had questions and provided me with the answers to help me along !! I would recommend her and her agency to anyone I know who's looking to buy , rent or sell property without a doubt !!
Gena from GRL Realtors is extremely knowledgeable in what she does. She has went out of her way to make sure that I was comfortable and secure when I purchased my home. She always answers all of my questions professionally and promptly and I would recommend her my friends and family.
Over the years I have worked with many realtors in New Haven -- and Gena is one of the best! Her knowledge of the New Haven market in general and the Wooster Square area in particular is unsurpassed. During the sale of my house (and rental of some units during that time), I really appreciated her candid feedback, her problem-solving approach, and her unfailing energy.She's fantastic and I would use her again in a heart beat!
I have been working with Gena for over ten years and have purchased many investment properties. Every property Gena has sold me turned out to be a great investment. It is with her background and knowledge of the market in New Haven that has allowed me to be buy at the right time. Gena and her company handled a 9 unit apartment conversion which was a tremendous sucsess. We purchased the apartment complex at the right time and with Gena's guidance we sold them at the height of the market. Gena has her finger on the pulse of the market. I won't make a decision with out consulting her first.
Gena was great to work with. She found a tenant for my rental house in East Haven. Gena is very professional. I am very pleased with my tenants, just resigned the lease for another year. I recommend Gena and will use her as my Realtor again.
