We worked with Mary Ellen to purchase a home in New Canaan while living in Seattle. Remotely navigating such a complex process could have been a nightmareaEUR"but Mary Ellen made it impressively smooth. Her responsiveness and expert knowledge put us at ease from the start. We were making a long-distance move to an unfamiliar town, so we needed a real estate agent who really knew the area and could help us make sense of the current market. Mary Ellen never hesitated to give her honest opinion, steering us away from properties that werent a good investment. When we ultimately found our dream home, she visited it straight away and gave us a thorough virtual tour to give us confidence in our decision. At every step of the way, we knew Mary Ellen was in our corner looking out for our best interests. Her technical knowledge during the home inspection helped us ask the right questions, and when she advised us to hire an independent septic inspector, the results ended up saving us a massive headache that would have revealed itself years down the road. I knew she had a phenomenal reputation, but after working with her personally, I can attest that Mary Ellen is a world-class realtor. Ill be working with her for as long as shes in the business.

My husband and I were introduced to Mary Ellen to help us relocate our family from Brooklyn to Westport. We lived in Brooklyn for 10 years and took a huge leap of faith leaving the city and moving to a new town we knew nothing about. Mary Ellen was instrumental in helping us navigate the buying process in a competitive market! With her experience and knowledge, she was able to tell us a lot about a home, its value, condition, the school district, neighborhood, and the block. Living an hour and a half away, we leaned on Mary Ellens expertise to help us decide whether or not a home was right for us. She helped us avoid many 3hr round trips with two toddlers and for that we are very thankful!! Mary Ellen was extremely responsive, easy to communicate with, she was fun, and always honest. In this business, you want to trust who youre working with and we truly felt Mary Ellen put our family first. After we signed the contract the buying process went smoothly. It was a testament to her strong communication skills, project management, and experience. We are so happy in our new home and are very thankful for Mary Ellens guidance and continued support. We are forever grateful!!

We worked with Mary Ellen on our home search in Fairfield County market and she was efficient, a great communicator and committed throughout. She explained the differences between each of the towns we were considering and what to expect in terms of the market. She was an excellent negotiator and helped us refine an offer that we felt great about!

Mary Ellen is amazing. She has been my RE agent for over 4 years now, helping me rent houses in Westport during the summer, as well as recently buy a beautiful house that overlooks the sea. Mary Ellen is consummate professional, incredibly informed and knowledgeable, with a formidable common sense. She pays keen attention to her clients wants and needs and quirks ??, with an uncanny memory of and attention to the slightest detail. She is kind and trustworthy, what has always been SO important to me: say, from turning me, as a prospective buyer, from not-so-good deals or pointing out faults in houses I myself would never notice, to finding me precisely the home I wanted. Moreover, she is now taking care of me settling into my house and getting to know the right people and places in Westport (including finding a smashing tennis pro! ??). Mary Ellen treats you as a client for life aEUR" once you know her, she will take the best care of you and will always continue doing so. There is a chance you will become friends for life, too. ??

I had the fortune and pleasure of working w Mary Ellen Gallagher at KMS/COMPASS. Having purchased and sold several homes prior to meeting Mary Ellen, I must say this was the most seamless process ever. Mary Ellen took care of everything from begining to end. She was incredibly professional, always on time, detail oriented, brutally honest when I needed her to be, and had an amazing wealth of knowledge about the local market, trends, home maintenance, future home valuation, contractors, etc. Mary Ellen truly took time to understand my needs and found the perfect home for us. There is no question why she is so well respected in our community as a top real estate agent. I will be referring all my family, friends, and colleagues to her in the future.
