A year ago, we spent the better part of the afternoon sitting out front of the White Hart catching up with Elyse Morris and telling her that after five years of on and off looking, we were really ready to buy. The fact that she and John Panzer still took our phone calls after all this time, probably says it all. They didn’t just want to sell us a house, they wanted to help us buy the house that was right for us.

Having only ever owned apartments, buying a house, let alone buying a house from afar, was a daunting process. We knew nothing about furnaces, roofs, annual landscaping costs, and the list goes on. John and Elyse went above and beyond, pointing out potential issues, educating us on the pros and cons of various heating and cooling systems and helping to entertain our children as we toured houses.

Alas, when we did find the right house all did not go smoothly and again John and Elyse stepped up to the plate, keeping both parties engaged in a deal that could have easily fallen apart and helping to oversee the installation of a new septic system prior to closing.

We have been the happy owner of a CT weekend house for the past seven months and while we don’t expect to ever leave this home, if we do, John and Elyse will be our first call.

Elyse and John were a great help from beginning to end, and if anything even more so *after* the purchase. Highly recommended.

We highly recommend Elyse Harney Real Estate for their personal service, market knowledge, and deep relationships with local service providers. They make everything easy from purchasing, renovating and renting a home to selling it. Elyse Harney Morris and John Panzer listen to and understand your goals and guide you personally through everything necessary to enjoy the wonderful Lakeville and Salisbury area.

We cannot recommend Elyse and her team more highly. We just closed on our new home in Litchfield and are over the moon. The process up until we started working with Elyse was truly painful we went through 4 brokers whose interest in our search bordered on the non existent at best. We were truly fortunate to find Elyse through a friend and her professionalism, interest and attention to detail made all the difference.

We found our future home in early June and closed in early August. Working with Elyse and her team during that time was a true pleasure. We always felt we were in great hands throughout the whole process. Home buying can be a daunting endeavor but not when you work with Elyse and her team, they are really the best in the entire area I will not work with anyone else in the future.

The Elyse Harney Real Estate team led by Kathleen Devaney and supported by Elyse Harney Morris and their team were incredible. Their knowledge of local market conditions and the network to support and complete our recent sale were impressive. It felt like there was nothing they could not facilitate with a few short calls. They are clearly professionals and extremely well connected in the local community. We could not have been in more experienced hands. More importantly, Kathleen went above and beyond multiple times throughout the entire process including taking on many of the tasks of the buyer agent to complete the transaction. Definitely the MVP. She left no stone unturned. She kept us completely informed throughout the entire process.

We used the services of the Elyse Harney Real Estate team to buy (many years ago) and then recently sell this property. Kathleen and Elyse are wonderful to work with professionally. They are both fun, wonderful human beings. We can, without reservation, highly recommend their services.
