Testimonials

"When we decided to move from our home of 50 years, we engaged Jim & Diane LaPine to be our realtors. From the time the ?For Sale? sign went up through the closing of both our sale and our purchase, their service was excellent and their expert advice accurate and realistic. Their marketing was effective, open houses widely advertised, and most of all, they expertly guided us through the maze of selling and buying a home, helping us avoid any major pitfalls. Most important, they communicated frequently with us, were accessible to answer our questions, and foresaw and resolved problems before they became insurmountable. A+++ service. "
Norman Winnerman (Danbury, CT)

"Diane and Jim made sure everything went smoothly. Their patience during our search was greatly appreciated. We will definitely use them again."
Kim and Janine (Danbury, CT)

"Jim and Diane helped us sell our house in a very difficult market. They were clear about the issues we faced throughout but were unfailingly positive and helpful in getting us to a sale. To me, the mark of a true real estate professional is how he or she performs when the market is challenging. We couldn't have asked for more from our relationship."
Dick Cass (Brookfield, CT)

"Thank you for all your help and great service. We were lucky to have you as our representative. We are very happy with our house."
Dr and Mrs Panupong Lisawat (Brookfield, CT)

"Jim is the most effective, dedicated - and patient - real estate agent with whom we've ever worked. Over many months, Jim found us several homes which would have been "perfect" for us. But, for one reason or another, those "perfect" homes just didn't work out. But Jim never gave up, and never changed his enthusiastic and positive approach. And when it came time to negotiate and make offers, his counsel was wise and accurate and his support unwavering. I'm sure there are many excellent realtors in Western Connecticut ... but we had the best!"
Terry and Andrea Brennan (Danbury, CT)

"Our first time home buying experience with Diane and Jim LaPine of William Raveis was exceptional! They were always available to look at properties and made sure to communicate with us every step of the way. They are professional, kind, and trust worthy. We had our first offer accepted in a very busy market, and had a seamless closing. We are thrilled to be in our beautiful condo just in time for the holidays. I would recommend their services to all of my friends and family, and anyone looking to buy. You will not be disappointed!"

William R. McKenzie (New Fairfield, CT)

"It is my immense pleasure to recommend Diane Lapine as a real estate agent for any individual or family searching for their new home. Diane has a longstanding relationship with one of my closest friends and I have seen her work with them hands-on in the past, and so she was a natural fit for me. <br /> <br />Within a day of chatting about where I wanted to look and going over my “must” list, she sent me a portal with numerous options. She works hard and puts in long hours. She is extremely knowledgeable, personable, and responsive. There was never a time that she was unavailable whether it be via text, email, or phone communication. <br /> <br />Diane is extremely talented and she did not waste my time with homes that were out of my price range or not in line with my needs and wants for a new home. Especially as a first-time homeowner, she was so helpful with referring me to a realtor lawyer, with negotiations, and an overall understanding of the market, comps, and all of the ins and outs of the buying process. <br /> <br />Diane is an amazing asset and will be in your corner and get the job done. I had one property that I had to pull out of and she made the entire transaction seamless into the new place I ultimately purchased. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />"
Michelle Shapiro (White Plains, NY)

"The dust I don't think will ever settle but now that your part is complete a well deserved KUDOS is in order. Coming from the Moving business, I thought I might have had a little more of a handle on how the real estate process works - boy was I wrong. You helped us prep our house, you explained the process, you pretty much called things like they happened. You kept us from jumping off the cliff numerous times. And that was just the front end. You then did the same things to find us our new downsized dream home at a reasonable price - amazing in this market. All said and done, I pretty much could go on forever but I would highly recommend YOU to anybody in this area that might be on the move. Thank you may never be enough. Three Thumbs Up Debbie Blum."
Peter Ruggles (NEW FAIRFIELD, CT)

Maynor Ramos-Munguia (Danbury, CT)

"Our agent, Diane LaPine, was a saving grace for us during this process. I don't know what we would've done without her. Along with her partner, Jim, she spent so much time and energy to make sure we ended up with what we felt comfortable and happy with. She never stops working. I trust her endlessly, and consider her not only an agent, but friend. Seriously!!! I cannot recommend them highly enough."
Liam Lonegan (Brewster, NY)

Sonja G. Kantzas (Ridgefield, CT)

"Diane showed me the house multiple times, advised me through the negotiation process, secured a closing cost credit, and referred me to home inspectors. I would have been lost on all of this on my own!"
John Tyler Raps (Brookfield, CT)

"Diane had helped me find my current rental residence over 7 years ago and she left such a great impression, she was the only one I seriously considered when I decided it was time to purchase my first home. Diane and her team worked around my unorthodox schedule to get me in to see properties. She checked in several times a week about listings until I finally found my dream home about a month later. It was such a wonderful experience from the search to the buy and Diane and her team was with me each step of the way! Thank you for helping me to find and secure my forever home!"
William Sweeney (New Milford, CT)
