★★★★★
"Thoughtful, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable—Amanda Bryan is the real deal. From our first conversation, she was caring and never pushy, focusing on what mattered to our family rather than rushing us into a decision. In an extremely competitive New Canaan market, Amanda took the time to walk us through every neighborhood and comp, explain trade-offs clearly, and strategize on how to make a winning offer without overreaching. Her expertise on streets, schools, commute patterns, and even little quality-of-life details was impressive—and she was genuinely happy to share it all. We always felt informed, never pressured, and completely supported. Thanks to Amanda’s guidance and calm, we found the perfect home and felt confident at every step. Five stars, without hesitation." Adam Z, Buyer

★★★★★
"Instantly upon meeting Amanda, my husband and I felt at ease and extremely comfortable. It was as though we were touring properties with an old friend! Amanda is warm and inviting and makes the house hunting process feel fun and exciting without ever adding any pressure to the experience. The day we met Amanda and were introduced to New Canaan we fell in love with the town and we actually found our home that same day! Amanda went out of her way to go to the home to handle various matters on our behalf as we are still living in NYC and this proved to be invaluable. We consider Amanda as our friend and we look forward to continuing to evolve our relationship in the years to come!" - Delphine

★★★★★
"Amanda was FANTASTIC!! We feel so lucky to have worked with her. I think what was especially telling about Amanda was how much she did for us after we were in contract (a testament to her truly kind, caring nature - we were never “just a commission”). We can’t wait to recommend her to friends and family!!"

★★★★★
"Amanda made the entire buying process so easy and smooth. We really appreciated that she had been in our shoes, moving out of the city and finding the right little town to settle down. We were really impressed by how intelligent she is, above and beyond being very professional. I'd highly recommend her to anyone who wants a proactive, trustworthy and 'switched on' agent." - Laura

★★★★★
"I met Amanda in 2010 when she was the listing agent at a house we found online. I want to share my highest recommendation. She was warm and engaging and, when we more seriously decided to look for a home, we called Amanda. She couldn't have made the process any easier for us. As first time home-buyers, we peppered her with questions and required a lot of handholding. She never made us feel like we were bothering her. She was incredibly thorough and generous with her time and input during our process. I have already given her the highest recc I can by referring my sister to her, but I fully recommend Amanda to anyone looking for a professional who does her job with the highest level of excellent, but remains very approachable and easy to talk to." - Jessica

★★★★★
"Quite simply if you are buying or selling a home I can't think of anyone who best exemplifies the value a qualified, professional Real Estate agent can deliver. Amanda's responsiveness, attention to detail, knowledge of the local market and unique consultative sales approach were outstanding. I would recommend Amanda without any reservations."

★★★★★
"Amanda was an absolutely wonderful agent. We relocated to CT and she showed a variety of homes which were of interest to both our taste and budget; in which we ultimitely selected one of the homes that she showed us for purchase. She was always extremely responsive to our questions and requests and operated in a very professional and knowledgeable manner; always accomodating our timeline and needs vs. her own. At no time did we ever "feel like we were being sold to" as part of the process which was extremely comforting. I would highly recommend Amanda to anyone else moving to the area. As a result of our experience, we will use her if we ever move again and sell our house in the future."

★★★★★
"This agent both sold my house and helped me purchase a new house. In what ended up to be a very complicated transaction, she was professional, responsive and always very cheerful. Her calmness under pressure and willingness availability when we needed her made what could have been a very stressful few months of our lives seem almost tolerable! Not to mention that she has lived in this area all her life...which makes her an expert, too!"
