Betsy is, by far, the best realtor we have ever had - and we have moved many times. We needed a lot of extra help to get the house ready and Betsy provided great resources. Betsy “just took care of things” and was always professional and kind. And she has a great sense of humor. Every aspect of the listing and sale of the house went smoothly thanks to Betsy and her team. She went above and beyond to help since we weren’t local and she alleviated all our concerns. We are so fortunate to have Betsy and we highly recommend her. Lori Gorton

We feel very fortunate to have met Betsy at the beginning of our home search journey. From the first instance, we were drawn in by Betsy’s professionalism, expertise, kindness and enthusiasm to help and educate us as we conducted our first walk through. Buying our first home in such a difficult market almost seemed an impossible goal but with Betsy’s guidance, around-the-clock encouragement and market research, we were able to look at a multitude of options, and eventually purchased our first home. It is not everyday that you meet someone so special — like Betsy is to us — that has a true passion for helping others find a place to call home, and making sure that it checks all the boxes. She genuinely cares about her clients and that to us, spoke volumes. In the nearly 18 months we journeyed together to find our new home, Betsy dedicated evenings and weekends to show us homes, and not once did we feel rushed to make a decision on a home. Betsy held our hand every step of the journey, and for that we thank you, Betsy. Betsy leaves no stone unturned during the home search / closing process. She has a network of well regarded professionals that she can call on for any home-maintenance, home-purchasing assistance to refer to her clients. Betsy’s years of experience shine through and for that she is everything any prospective home buyer could hope for in an agent. Betsy is a gem. We cannot thank her enough for her dedication to us during our home-buying journey and for sticking with us until we found “the one”. Very many thanks, Betsy! Yesmy & Patrick , Buyer

I’ve worked with Betsy Anderson at Sothebys for some 18 years—buying and selling three homes and now a condo over that time period—and she is the best. I’ve recommended her many times, and I would work with her again in a heartbeat. She’s amazing—smart, knows the market, helpful, patient, and has a great sense of humor. A pleasure to work with!

I had the pleasure of working with Betsy Anderson through William Pitt/Julia B. Fee Sotheby's. She was excellent. She was extremely patient with me when I was having difficulty finding the right home for me. She sent me so many homes, was present for all showings, and even answered my nightshift emails in the middle of the night! She wanted me to find the right home, even if it meant altering her schedule to make mine work. She was extremely helpful and supportive and genuinely wanted what was best for me. She was willing to spend the time, out of her busy schedule, to assist me in finding something perfect. She made the process seamless. I would recommend her to any individual in the market for a new home! Betsy Anderson

I started looking for homes with Betsy over 2 years ago, before the pandemic and after she had helped my parents sell their home. It was a long process, due to my pickiness and specific wants/needs. Betsy was extremely patient with me and attentive to my countless requests. She spent an endless amount of time with my mother and I, trying to find the home that would fit what I wanted perfectly. There were numerous times that I would send her houses and she would schedule me appointments immediately, being extremely flexible with my schedule and bending her schedule to make mine work. She would answer my emails late at night in order to avoid missing an opportunity to find my future home! I can't say enough good things about Betsy. After finding the home that I recently bought, she helped me every step of the way, clarifying terms, being present at inspections, and giving advice when needed. She made the entire process smooth. She is not only my realtor but has become a great friend! I would recommend her to anyone who is in the market for a new home. Olivia (Betsy's Friend), Work review - Closing Old Post Rd.

Working with Betsy was great! She was attentive, speedy, and quick to answer all of our many questions/calls/texts. We moved from out of state and she was very knowledgeable about all of the different areas we were looking at. Betsy always made us feel like a priority and was quick to schedule last-minute house showings whenever it worked for our schedules. We would definitely work with her again and recommend her to our friends! Chris and Heather K., Buyer

Betsy is the hardest working, most trustworthy, most knowledgeable real estate agent we met during our very long home search process. As first-time home buyers, we spent months looking at online listings, speaking to agents on the phone, and visiting properties up and down the Connecticut and Rhode Island coast. After meeting Betsy, we immediately stopped working with other agents. Right away, Betsy showed herself to be deeply knowledgeable about the housing market, sharing insights on different areas and buying and selling trends. She worked hard for whoever she was representing, buyer or seller. My partner and I joked that Betsy was a force of nature with an unmatched work ethic. She would be texting us or available for a call at 10 or 11 pm, then send emails or texts with more information at five the next morning.  Most importantly, though, Betsy is an absolute delight. She is a joy to work with and made the process not only manageable but enjoyable. She is the rare combination of enthusiasm and patience, keeping spirits and momentum up during an impossibly stressful time (we were first-time homebuyers, looking for a home at the height of the pandemic).  Betsy not only helped us find the house of dreams. She did something harder and even more significant: she made it fun.  Searching for homes After only a few minutes in the first listing we visited, Betsy pointed out 4-5 issues we missed and gave us a realistic assessment of the house's pros and cons. Over the following weeks, we visited numerous homes with her, and she did the same with each one, remaining optimistic yet objective.  At all times of day, Betsy was responsive and proactive in sending us listings. Our criteria were broad, but she fully understood the "feeling" we wanted from our home and sent us listing after listing that matched expectations and then some, with her initial assessments on each. Whenever we had questions or wanted her opinion, she was able to guide us — this area had the best restaurants, this house might be in a flood zone, this kitchen might need some remodeling. Then, she gave us the space to make our decisions. When it was time to visit homes, she was always on-time, in a fantastic mood, and armed with helpful information about the house and surrounding neighborhoods.  We never felt rushed, never felt "sold." Betsy—always—had our best interests in mind.  Making an offer When we visited the home we ended up purchasing, Betsy was as enthusiastic as we were! She answered all our questions about the house — would this chimney be a problem? How would we improve this landscaping? We had so much fun brainstorming with her. She truly felt like she was part of the process and invested in us and our happiness. When we were ready to make an offer, she helped us identify the right price and understand the steps involved — what this paperwork means, what the timeline would be, etc. — demystifying the process and making it manageable.  Betsy's recommendations Buying a home inevitably means working with numerous service providers and specialists: mortgage lenders, inspectors, lawyers, people to look at the furnace or the septic system, etc. We tend to take referrals with a grain of salt and always do our own research.  But eventually, we stopped double-checking Betsy's suggestions. Every single one she provided was spot-on and the best person we could find anywhere for the job. Her recommendations were professional, knowledgable, responsive, and, if anything, cheaper than other providers. We cannot overstate how helpful her guidance was in this respect and continues to be, especially as first-time homebuyers new to the area. We also never felt pressured to use someone she recommended, and it was clear anybody she recommended was due to decades of experience working with them across multiple homes and transactions. Betsy is an incredibly reliable and accurate read of people, and that is reflected in the people she works with, too. In essence, we grew to trust Betsy entirely. She earned that trust over time, patiently and kindly, and never did anything to lose it during the entire home buying process. If anything, she continued to gain it the longer we worked with her.  Closing Betsy was there every step of the way—from getting our mortgage to signing the paperwork to getting the keys in the final walkthrough. Even during the holiday season, when things were hectic and busy before the end of the year, she was a friendly face who made a stressful time a lot less stressful. If you have questions about any of the above, my partner and I would be more than happy to answer them. If you're wondering if you should work with Betsy, don't. If you're working with another agent, we'd probably recommend you give Betsy a chance. She's that good. Zach, Zach & Annie

Betsy made so easy our decision to move from New Jersey to Connecticut . Her knowledge of the area , the different towns and the houses , was instrumental. She promptly answered any of our email, text messages . She took care of every minor detail and the fact that we were so far away when this process was going on, she took care of many issues for us and we remain eternally grateful to her.

We had 3 different realtors over the course of 5 years - our house did not sell. We signed on with Betsy and within 4 weeks our house was under contract and we had a deposit down on our new house! Betsy is a fantastic advocate for her clients and very responsive. When she did not know the answer she would make it her business to find that answer - and that did not happen often as she is extremely knowledgeable about the whole process. Her sense of humor came in handy, and she was able to calm us during a couple of bumps along the road. Best realtor on the shoreline as far as I'm concerned!! lynelandry - Guilford

Betsy Anderson did an outstanding job helping us negotiate the selling of our town-home AND the buying of our current house in an incredibly short period of time. We can't say enough about her professional skills throughout the entire process. She protected our interests in a myriad of ways including pricing it right, offering suggestions on the proper response to offers and counter offers, and finding solutions to overcoming the multitude of hurdles that cropped up. What impressed us most was her team approach, integrity, and sense of humor which went a long way to reducing the stress of the situation. She made herself available to us no matter what time of day or night, expedited all transactions, and was invaluable in referrals of home inspectors, and subcontractors. We would definitely recommend Betsy to any friend or family members looking for a real estate agent. jjoconnor1@yahoo.com

I have nothing but great things to say about my experience with Betsy Anderson as my realtor! What I appreciated the most was that Betsy didn't just try to get us in any house, but most importantly, the right house! She wasn't afraid to say this isn't the one and we never felt like she was just trying to make a sale, which can't be said about a lot of people nowadays. Being a newlywed couple looking for a home to start a family, she really made sure we found the perfect house for our future. I would not only use her again, but I would highly recommend her to any home buyer! alyson42 - Madison

I was very lucky to work with Betsy Anderson on the recent sale of my condo which closed on May 20, 2015. I had already moved out of state from CT to TX so that in itself is stressful during a home sale. And the real estate market was not very good in CT and there were many condos for sale in my development so that added to the stress. The sale took longer than I had hoped, but that was not Betsy's doing but rather a tough tough market. Having Betsy in my corner was wonderful and very calming. She is very responsive, a delight to work with, and knows the market. I was also very grateful that she spearheaded some logistical matters for me that I could not easily take care of long distance. Would I recommend her to anyone - absolutely!!! mswillow59 - Madison

Betsy worked with us twice to help us find and purchase homes. The first time she found us the perfect first home in a nearby neighborhood that wasn't even on our list. The second time she took around a large area of the state in order to see dozens of possible second homes that seem to meet our requirements. She helped us decide what was really important, and finally after a year and a half of hunting closed on a house on which we had gone to contract 3 times, the first 2 times unsuccessfully. Patience, tenacity, and knowledge are Betsy's professional virtues, and she's one heck of a nice lady. user1694467 - Lebanon

Betsy helped us purchase our home. She not only is a great person, but an outstanding Realtor! Her experience speaks for itself. She always places her clients first and no matter how many projects she may have going on, you never feel as though you take a back seat. She offers great advice and has a great eye for detail. In comparison to other Realtors we have worked with, there is absolutely NO comparison! She is a straight-shooter and will tell you how-it-is. Her communication is outstanding; never having to wait long for a response or to a question you may have. She actually cares for her clients and wants the best for them.

Betsy Anderson was magnificent. She guided us through our entire sale. From start to finish - she was really there for us. Providing sound practical advice which not only saved us $10,000's of dollars bur also saved our sanity. The key was - her caring, attention to detail - not one little thing was forgotten, delayed or went missing. She arranged EVERYTHING from first pictures and appraisals, listings, an interim lease agreement, final P&S, inspections and closing details and documents. Throughout the process, we were 100% confident that Betsy had our back - and believe me- this turned out to be more necessary than you might imagine (or maybe you can imagine). We've bought and sold 6 homes - so we're not rookies ... but without a doubt Betsy (and team) is the most professional, honest, competent, knowledgeable, caring and (perhaps most importantly) effective broker I've ever worked with.

Betsy Anderson is a fantastic realtor! We met her years ago when we were looking around town for a new home. She was kind, easy going, and always available to take us to showings. We didn't end up buying a home at that time, but about 10 years later when we were ready to move we immediately thought of her when we wanted to sell our home. The market wasn't great and we really wanted to sell quickly. Betsy walked us through the process, helped us price the house to sell, she got a LOT of interest from prospective buyers at one big open house, and we ended up with three competing offers that were all within our price range. Selling a house can be a very stressful process but Betsy made it about as easy as it can be. She was always available to talk or to meet when we had questions, and she stayed on top of the process so that things kept moving along through the negotiations, inspections, and closing. Betsy has a lot of experience, knows the area, is a good negotiator on behalf of her client, and is a pleasure to work with. If I move again, I will definitely work with Betsy, and I would highly recommend her to friends and family. user20150607085158926 - Guilford

As a first time home buyer, Betsy was there to help educate me through the entire process and demonstrated patience while I searched for the home that would be just the right fit. She has both attention detail and follow up. Betsy separates herself from other real estate professions by her ability to stay in contact with her clients long after the sale forming relationships with clients that allows her to continually educate her clients on the buying and/or selling market. user3887872 - Milford
