"We were lucky to cross paths with a Westport market expert, Susan Vanech, who probably secretly knew that would be the last stop in our search for the new home. Susan was very personable and attentive, listening carefully and getting to know us as she guided us about town. We fell in love with all that Westport had to offer and before we knew Susan brought us to THE house that is our home today. We were first time buyers and Susan was very patient and thorough from the day we met until the day we closed, always looking out for our best interest. We had a truly wonderful experience working with Susan and are really grateful for her continuing support as we get to know our new community!" - Vaidas N.
