To say Ben Howell goes above and beyond feels like an understatement. He made the entire experience of buying and selling a house a stress free and enjoyable one. In addition to selling our house, he found us a perfect house. Where most walk away after a successful close, not Ben. He takes his superior client service all the way through to getting… the house ready to receive us. I feel truly pampered and grateful. I’ve never experienced this level of service before - it’s a new high bar and easy to see why Ben is in such demand -you get a lot more than you pay for!

We recently sold our home in Westport and Gary Shelton and Chris Saxe were our brokers. They were recommended by a friend and they're terrific. Very knowledgable, helpful and accommodating. If we ever buy another home we will certainly call them.

I cannot stress how on hand and involved this Team is. Melissa Mercaldo and all included leave no stone unturned. When you sign on with the Higgins Group for all things home, you become a part of the family, and I'm not stating that loosely. I knew when my close friend started her home purchase journey,due to her lack of understanding she needed a… trustworthy Brokerage. She needed a Brokerage that exemplified honesty consistency, open communication and hard work. Melissa Mercaldo and Higgins group did all that for her and more! Thank you and here's to your continued success.
