Meet a Mom: Meet Ashley Dineen of Tiny Miracles
★★★★★
"Ashley’s knowledge of the area is encyclopedic, her attention to detail without equal...but what makes her the best agent we’ve ever dealt with is her thorough, thoughtful handling of the entire process: from identifying the right area for us to narrowing down our list of houses, and then from negotiating to closing and beyond. Ashley was with us every step of the way, and as a consequence of that, we feel even better about the house we bought. (Can’t really think of a better recommendation than that.)"
★★★★★
"Ashley was raised in Darien so she is the town expert. This is especially helpful because she can put you in touch with a mortgage broker, attorney the closing, etc. She will help you find the best home you based on your criteria. Coming from Manhattan and apartment living 20+ years, we had some very specific needs our family and she was able to show us homes in our price range that fit those requests. She is a pleasure to work with and she is very tied into the community."
