"Amy is not only professional but invests herself fully in the often stressful task of selling your family home!

"I just wanted to share how great my experience was with Amy; coming from NYC and trying to find my dream home in CT was a seamless process. We explained to Amy what we were looking for in both a forever home and a welcoming neighborhood, and she knew first-hand what we needed. Not only was she professional, she really took a personal interest in finding us the perfect place in a short period of time. Thanks to Amy we found our forever home and could not be happier! Amy was not only a great Real Estate agent she also helped us get settled in a new environment. She has become a good friend as well which really helps when you move into a new area without knowing anyone. would highly recommend Amy and Compass." - Nina

"My wife and I engaged Amy Desel as our realtor for the purchase of a home in the Fairfield Beach area and sale of our townhome in Trumbull, CT in 2020 (crazy market!).

We highly recommend Amy… She will be with you to the end and without question, we made the right choice using her. Thanks, Amy!" - Sarah and Chris
