Ask Your Agent a Question

We were lucky enough to be referred to Lauren and Marc by a friend which turned out to be the best thing that could have happened, as my wife and I were first time home buyers and honestly had little knowledge of the process it took to purchase a home. Marc and Lauren took us under their wings and made the process as simple and easy as it could be. Not only are they knowledgeable of the market, but they took the time to sit down and explain everything to us no matter how small the question was, which made us feel comfortable and guidance they offered. To that extent, they gained our trust and they definitely delivered. We would without a doubt, recommend them to anyone that is planning to jump in the market.

When my grandma passed away I was responsible for her estate. I had so many mixed emotions in how to proceed with selling her house. Matthew was so supportive, patient, competent and kind throughout the entire process! He would respectfully and gently make “suggestions” on how to navigate the entire listing, showing and ultimately sale of the property. I cannot get express enough gratitude for his immense professionalism!!!! I highly recommend Matthew as a realtor!!!!

Working with Linda on selling our house was most impressive. From her initial recommended price point, her aggressive advertising (we had over 40 showings in 6 days),through negotiations, to a final fair and reasonable selling price where we received more than expected, she made us feel comfortable with her in depth knowledge of market conditions and her tips on how to make our home more attractive to potential buyers. We were always kept informed every step of the way. Whether buying or selling I would highly recommend Linda!!!

From the advice they gave us early on, to their guidance during the contract stage, they made an extremely stressful process as easy as possible. Thank you for your expertise every step of the way!

Shane was amazing,! He handled everything from our initial meeting to the closing with such personal and professional care.
He was honest, helpful, reliable and most of all accommodating. Selling can be difficult, emotional and stressful. Shane was always right there to guide me through the process.
I can not possibly recommend him highly enough!

It's amazing how a random phone call can change your life. Less than two minutes into our first conversation, we bonded. I knew Lauren was the real deal.
We had outgrown our starter home and needed to up size for our family. It had been 17 years since we purchased our first home and we had no idea where to start. Lauren and Marc showed up on a Saturday and broke everything down to us. As nervous as we were, the confidence and expertise in both Lauren and Marc made us feel at ease.
They gave us a road map to navigate through the who, what, when, where, and why of both selling our old house and buying a new one. They took us under their wing, guiding us the entire way.
Lauren and Marc gave us straight forward feedback and advice, which I appreciate, as many people in sales tend to tell you what you want to hear. Not these two. They give it to you straight. They get results. So refreshing in today's world.
They sold our house in less than a week. Made us more money than we expected. Found us a new home that checked all of our boxes. Negotiated purchase price and a few extras from the seller. Things couldn't have gone any smoother.
If you are looking for a home in the greater New Haven area, Lauren and Marc are the only people I would trust. They didn't just facilitate a real estate transaction, they changed our lives. Meeting Lauren and Marc was nothing short of a miracle for our family. We are forever grateful.
This journey not only brought us to a new home, we also gained a genuine friendship. You both are truly amazing!
Thank you, Lauren and Marc, for everything you did for our family.

In 2003, Lauren helped me buy my first home. A condominium in Hamden. It was a great feeling to be a new owner.
In 2011, I called Lauren because my dad had turned ill and I needed to sell my condo or at least I thought I needed to sell. Lauren suggested that I rent the unit. Suddenly, I was a landlord, thanks to Lauren. Lauren found me the best tenant ever. The tenant stayed for 12 years and I never had a problem with the tenant.
Now here I am again in 2023 calling Lauren to sell the condominium. She is great, fantastic! Lauren had my condo sold, under contract and closed in a about 1 month. I could not have asked for a better realtor, advisor, a friend.
I would absolutely recommend and refer anyone, with confidence, to Lauren and know she and her team will give their absolute best to every client.

We were first time home buyers and Laura took this frightening experience and made it simple enough even I could understand. Not only that but she really took the time to know us personally and find a home that really connected with us.
I would highly recommend Laura to anyone seeking to purchase the perfect home.
Thanks again, Laura for helping us find our home!

Connie Pereira is all that you want in a realtor and more. Her years of experience in the real estate market coupled with her knowledge of and expertise in building homes and/or remodeling them make her a one of a kind real estate professional. Connie was always good natured and had a great sense of humor. She was honest and trustworthy in a world where those qualities are not the norm. She provided sound advice but gave us the space to make our own decisions. She was "always on top of things" and always followed through in what she said. When dealing with other realtors and/or buyers, she was pleasant but firm. We knew she was working to get and do the best for us. We never felt we weren't being properly represented or guided. Without reservation, we would recommend Connie for all buying/selling needs. You will be 110% satisfied.

We were connected to Melissa by pure chance, but we feel so lucky to have found her! It was our first time buying a home and Melissa helped us navigate a crazy buyers' market, guiding us through the process and all of our options along the way. She was extremely responsive from day 1 and made us feel comfortable with very big decisions. She sat down with us for hours to explain the process from finish to end and we never felt pressured to do something we were not comfortable with. I could not recommend Melissa more highly!

We give 10 stars!
Our lives were changing for the better, and we were under some time constraints with selling our home. We needed the very best to facilitate the sale of our home.
Lauren and Marc were referred to us and we gave them a call and setup a meeting to discuss our situation.
Lauren made us feel safe and comfortable and provided detailed communication throughout the staging, listing and ultimately the sale of our home.
Along with this Rockstar Laren is her partner Marc, who strategically and carefully explained the details of the listing and what our competitive market would require to ensure a smooth transition.
Although we hit a small bump in the negotiations, Marc rose the call of duty and quickly negotiated our options and reminded us of what to expect in these situations....after delicate conversations with the potential buyer, we struck a deal in just a couple days!
We were excited and
Couldn't ask for a better outcome.
The value Lauren and Marc have provided to my family is priceless.
We will ALWAYS recommend them to anyone who seek the very best professionals for his or her family's next home.
Marc & Lauren we love you & Thank you so very much!!

Tanya is one of the BEST ! not only is she honest and well informed she will not stop trying to find your dream home. She was always there for my husband and I for any questions we had and would give us great ideas when we would ask for them. Prompt to all our meetings and very responsive. I truly recommend her. She helped us sell our home and buy a new one. She made the process easy.

Lauren and Marc made selling our parent's home seamless. From the first meeting to closing they maintained open communication, compassion, kindness, and exceptional professionalism. They bring tremendous knowledge and skill for the industry and market. They interpreted this process in a manner that made sense and if any issues arose, they had already plan b, c, d, ready to move forward. Now that our parents home of 50 years is in the hands of new owners, we are comforted knowing the exchange was done so by Marc and Lauren.

I can’t express how happy I am to have been able to work with Seigel Realty Group. Lauren made the experience of buying my first home enjoyable. She really cares about you as a person and finding you the perfect home for you or in my case my growing family. Throughout my entire process Lauren contact me daily leading up to my closing date. I thought the process was going to be stressful but having a realtor like Lauren with me every step of the way really made it actually enjoyable.
If anyone is looking to buy a home I highly recommend using Seigel Realty Group.

I got to know Mike through Ideal Agents and that is the best thing that happened to me in my home sale. Mike is an experienced young man with a very excellent inter personal relationship , very professional, diligent, sincere and reliable. I had to live my home for him to list when I was out of state, he went about the listing in a stress free manner, always keeping me updated with his super modern communication so I was able to know what was going on at any giving time. He was able to list the home and got offers for the listing price in as a little as 4 days with a final offer away above the listing price in less than two weeks. His commission was also superb and saved me more money and increased my proceeds on the home sale. I recommend Mike for anyone wishing to sell their home for an excellent stress free home sale experience.

Lauren and Marc are both superb at what they do!
14 years ago, I used Marc as my seller's agent. His advice on pricing and negotiating was absolutely on-target. In a failing market, he helped me sell my townhouse in two months.
So there was no doubt in my mind, when I decided to move back to Connecticut, about who I wanted to be my buyer's agent. I spoke with Marc before traveling to the state, telling him what I was looking for and what I could afford to spend. The market for that is basically non-existent in this seller's market of 2022, but between us we found several possibilities. He advised me against two of them for reasons that made excellent sense but that I might not have realized on my own. And when we looked at one that would work, he also guided me in the appropriate amount to bid and how to respond to the sellers. Sale made :)
But Marc didn't rest on those laurels; he made sure I had a mortgage broker, an inspector, a closing attorney-- none of which I was in a position to find on my own, as I was living in Virginia. He repeatedly made contact with the sellers' agent because I had questions that needed answering. I knew I could *always* ask Marc for help.
And on the day of the final walk-through, Marc had a family emergency, but Lauren stepped right in and came with me. And when we discovered several major problems, Lauren made sure the closing attorney knew, including taking and sending photos of the problems. I felt, again, safe and secure because my needs were being taken care of.
I wholeheartedly recommend the Seigel Team for all your real estate needs. They put *you* first, ahead of any other considerations. They are available when you need them. And, honestly, they're also a lot of fun to be around :)

My fiancée and I cannot say enough about the professionalism, depth of knowledge, and quality of work when working with Seigel Realty Group. Marc and Lauren exceeded our expectations. All of our questions were answered, communication was seamless, and our needs were advocated for. This was especially important to us as first time home buyers. Marc and Lauren were recommended to us through friends, and it will stand as one of the best recommendations we have ever received. We closed on our house two days ago, and will sincerely miss working with Seigel Realty Group. Thank you, Marc and Lauren, for an unbelievable home buying experience!

Tanya was absolutely incredible. She was always readily available for a phone call, ready to educate us, and also ready to put us at ease when difficulties came up in our selling and purchasing process. She was so quick with responses and probably the kindest realtor I’ve ever met. She was very personable and one heck of a business woman. I can’t recommend her enough and have told so many friends and family members about her. I highly recommend Tanya to anyone looking for a boss of a woman to help them buy or sell their home.

I sold my home thru Adam and was pleased with the entire experience. He was attentive and responsive during the entire process; when a question or two came to mind weeks after the closing he was still just as responsive! My home was probably a more difficult sale than most, but Adam got it sold while always having a positive outlook and a kind and professional manner.

Matthew is an excellent realtor. This was my first time buying a home and he has really helped me and my kids throughout the buying process. I was extremely grateful to him for his incite on the homes I looked. He gave me some very good advice and educated me in areas that I had little knowledge about. There was definitely some hurdles that I had to overcome and he made the process so much easier for me when it became a bit stressful. I must say, I was quite impressed with Matt’s overall knowledge and experience about the housing market and the various stage of buying a home and what it entitles. Without any hesitation, I would definitely recommend Matt to any one who’s looking for an excellent realtor when buying a home.

We were truly lucky when an acquaintance referred us to Lauren and Marc with Seigel Realty Group. From the moment we met this brother and sister team, we felt like they were family. They were so supportive, knowledgable and helpful throughout the entire process of the selling of my mom’s home. With our gazillion questions, they were always very quick to respond and extremely helpful! We live in Florida and had some issues come up. They drove over to the house several times to make sure things were running smoothly and issues were taken care of. We highly recommend this remarkable team! They were amazing!

Matt is a stand-up guy. A-plus personality, gift of gab, and likable off the bat. He has a strong knowledge of the markets he works in and is willing to go the extra mile for you. He actually went to inspect a dark cramped crawl space for me since the inspection had already taken place and I was concerned that water might have gotten into the basement of our prospective home after a massive storm that hit literally days after the inspection was completed. He knew I was gonna have to drive an hour just to get that peace of mind, so without any obligation to do so at all, he went, disregarded the ol’ slacks, got on his fours and crawled through the entire crawl space taking pictures to send to confirm to me that all was well. I’ve never had a broker go to the length for me before and I’ve done a good deal of business with brokers in the past. He had the knowledge to answer almost all of my questions, the wisdom to not answer the ones he didn’t know the answers to, and the candor to follow-up on any of the very few items which required a closer look. He went above and beyond which created trust right away. This, I believe, is the most important element of the broker-buyer relationship. I’d recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell in the area and I look forward working with him and the RE/MAX Rise team again in the future. Certainly I will be referring any CT business that comes my way.

I first worked with Tanya when I was looking for a long-term rental...she came through and found the perfect house for my family. After two years, I was ready to purchase and of course, I called Tanya. Again, she came through and found the perfect house for my family. I'm not sure if/when I will move again, but if I do, I will definitely be calling on Tanya Uhelsky.

Lauren is absolutely one of a kind. Her skill, knowledge, and overall demeanor completely and totally put me at ease, as I am a first time home buyer with ZERO experience in this field. I felt comfortable and confident throughout the entire process knowing that I had her support and direction. Lauren was able to easily and calmly walk me through this process and answered each and every one of my questions with nothing but pure ease and grace. She made me feel supported and important while still “taking the reins” and being the aggressive go getter that she is. I strongly felt that Lauren had my best interest at hand and felt confident knowing that I was her top priority throughout each step of the home buying process. I HIGHLY recommend Lauren to anyone who is thinking of buying a home. She is honest, trustworthy, and is able to meet her clients where they are at mentally, emotionally, and knowledge wise. I have nothing but wonderful things to say about her! Thank you Lauren from the bottom of my heart.
Sincerely,
Erin

Lauren & Marc were absolutely phenomenal at helping us find our dream home! They made a very stressful process, seamless and effortless. They are personal, honest, and trustworthy. I felt like I could ask them anything, and they would give me the honest answer and not just something that we wanted to hear. If you need to find a house, and find it quick even, they are your go-to people! I couldn't recommend them more. Thank you so MUCH for all of your hard work.
