Mary Ellen Barnett

Mary Ellen Barnett was extremely helpful during the sale of my home and the purchase of a new place to live. She went above and beyond to make everything run smoothly. Mary Ellen is very professional and knows her job inside and out. I was very thankful to have her as my real estate agent. I highly recommend Mary Ellen Barnett to anyone interested in selling and/or buying a home.

Working with Mary Ellen on the sale of our home far exceeded any experience or expectations we had ever had with a Realtor. Emptying and preparing our home of almost three decades for sale was a daunting task, but Mary Ellen was available to assist with all the various needs involved in prepping and selling the house. In our prior experiences with Realtors, we were typically given a punch list of items to handle ourselves. However, Mary Ellen rolled up her sleeves and helped get these tasks done. Once the house was empty, she watched over the property as if it were her own. The stress and worry of having a vacant house, especially when we were not local to monitor it, were completely alleviated by Mary Ellen. She was in frequent contact with us throughout the process and communicated with transparency, which we greatly appreciated. Choosing Mary Ellen was the best decision we made once we decided to sell.

Mary Ellen was exceptional in her presentation of my home. The process went quickly and smoothly, without any problems.

Mary Ellen was fantastic to work with. She represented us on the buy-side in October/November 2023 and most recently on the sell-side. In both instances, she was extremely professional and helpful, providing references for other professionals needed in the process (inspectors, attorneys, etc.). I would highly recommend her and William Pitt Sotheby's International Realty.

Realtor, Mary Ellen, is very knowledgeable, helpful, and nice. Dharini Patel

Mary Ellen is a truly dedicated agent who will go above and beyond of what is expected for her clients. She worked incredibly efficiently to help sell our home in a short amount of time. Her communication was excellent. She made us feel like a priority, always available for calls and texts. Apart from her phenomenal work ethic, she is a truly caring and positive person. Often eased my worries and offered words of encouragement. Julie R.

Mary Ellen Barnett is one of the finest people one can hope to meet. As an owner of a real estate management company (Garlind Associates), I've dealt with many fine realtors over the past 42 years. However, I do have to say that after working with Mary Ellen this past year, I now know what "the very best" means. In her capacity as a real estate professional, she is really quite beyond compare. Without effort, she demonstrates her integrity, her reliability, her friendliness, and her thoroughness. Her demeanor is always positive. She is extremely resourceful in solving problems so that her busy customer (me!) does not have to. Thinking of Mary Ellen, the word nonpareil comes to mind. Having worked with her over the past year has made me wish I had more properties to negotiate. Unfortunately, I am not longer working in Connecticut. Thank you, Mary Ellen! Linda Storhoff

Mary Ellen Barnett did an excellent job to get our property sold. She spent a lot of time sowing the property. We are very pleased with her Bruno Ricci

Our agent went above and beyond to get our lot sold. She continued to show it and ultimately got it sold for a good price. Couldn't have asked for a more competent and nice agent . Will use her again in future. Mary Ellen May-Ricci

We have bought and sold several properties and can truly say that we’ve never had a realtor as dedicated as Mary Ellen Barnett! We had already relocated to FL when selling our home in CT and Mary Ellen went above and beyond to make sure that our property was well maintained, that new and outstanding issues were addressed, that our property was well marketed, and communicated with us regularly. Our only regret is that we did not hire Mary Ellen from day one but instead chose a more “seasoned” realtor from a different company, who sadly underperformed. If you’re seeking professionalism and a realtor who is passionate about her work, one who will make it her mission to sell your property, even when obstacles are present, then look no further!

Mary ellen was extremely helpful and patient with helping is search for our home. I would not have wanted to finish this process with anyone else Tyler Cerlich

My family and I would like to take this opportunity to express our deep gratitude to Mary Ellen Barnett. My parents lived in this home for 59 years, the only home they ever owned. The task to ready 19 Valley View Road, Brookfield, CT was not an easy one. Both parents were "collectors" aka pack rats and every inch attic to basement was filled floor to ceiling. With limited time ( as in NO time for garage/estate sales) and as my brother aren't local, the vast majority of sorting, packing and removing was left to me. From the time we met Mary Ellen, even though we knew this was an overwhelming task, she made us feel comfortable and reassured us it was still doable. From day one she offered to make runs to Goodwill, recycling; made arrangements for a flea market guy to come and take whatever he thought he could sell (he keeps the money but took 3 truck loads/with a trailer which would have ended up in a dumpster). She helped with an electronics recycling guy (my father's a retired engineer) to get what he could legally remove from the basement and my dad's office out of the house (I lost count after 4 truck loads). Mary Ellen recommended an excellent source for packing my pod and for the final clean out of the house (he had to bring a second dumpster and large U-haul truck), enlisted her son and some of his friends to help with filling the first dumpster. Mary Ellen recommended an excellent source for landscaping and mowing until the house sold as well as an excellent cleaning company all of which were very reasonably priced and understood the urgency to get their job done. Mary Ellen went so far above board, even Matt the Moving Guy said he's worked with her and she's one in a million; most realtors won't do what she does to help get the job done. She's not afraid of manual labor, thoroughly enjoys chucking stuff into a dumpster, being hands on, and all while smiling and getting a great workout. My three brothers have worked with Realtors in the past and were blown away by the amount of work she did to ready the house for market. Adele, you hit Gold! Judith Fisch

Mary Ellen Barnett was phenomenal. She treated us like family, looked out to any and all of our needs, gave us valuable advice as first time home buyers, hooked us up with great resources for both our lawyer and our inspector, and has become a great friend. Would highly recommend Ecaterina Cosentino

I couldn't praise her enough as a person, John Paul L& Thomas M

What  Realtor  sends trays of food for a death in the family? You're one of a kind Mary Ellen.  You found a house for us in less than two weeks meanwhile I workied with { another agent prior} for months and months unsuccessfully.  I saw all of your rewards. You have a serious gift, especially with gab.  Who leaves thank you notes? I can't thank you enough, I will leave every reviw possible for you.  Saved us on such a short deadline and crazy market.  You are loved. Sara and Nick K

I recently completed the sale of my condo in Norwalk, CT with Mary Ellen Barnett as my agent and I would like to take a moment to sing her praises. Mary Ellen was with me every step of the way. From start to finish, she was always available to answer my questions and take me through each step of the process. More than once she eased my anxious mind and offered words of encouragement. I’m truly grateful for Mary Ellen and her expertise. Margaret E Walsh

Mary Ellen was wonderful all through the process. She provided personal attention every step of the way. The marketing campaign was a vey special touch. She keep us grounded, which for me was a tense time. I give her a 5 star rating. Jeffrey Keating

We recently had the pleasure of working with Mary Ellen Barnett on the sale of our home and cannot say enough great things about the experience.  Mary Ellen did an exceptional job throughout the process and went above and beyond what is typically asked of a listing agent many times.  She expertly mediated all negotiations wth the buyers and played a pivital rolke in solving a few issues typically would have seen a deal fall apart.  Mary Elen had many excellent marketing and makeover suggestions on how we can get the most out of our home.  We knew we were sellng a great home and so we wanted to make sure we get a great price.  Mary Ellen is  currently working very hard on on finding our nest forever home, and has truely become a friend.  We cannot recommend Mary Ellen strongly enough to anyone who is looking for a listing agent for their home. Michael and Susan Tropeano

Mary Ellen went above and beyond to ensure the sale of our home. We can't thank her enough. Helen & Harry Sherman

My family and I just purchased our first home, and we were lucky enough to work with Mary Ellen Barnett! We must admit we started our search a little nervous- it being our biggest purchase decision we ever made  while knowing little about the process.  We knew what we were looking for and what we could afford and that was about it.  A coworker recommended Mary Ellen to us and we will certainly be doing the same!  Working with Mary Ellen through this process was a delight, from the moment we metut was a comfortable and personable experience,  She was willing to answer any questions, without allowing us to feel we were bothersome or an inconvience.  Mary Ellen was always honest and never pushy.  Mary Ellen made the process extra special especially on our closing day.  We closed the  during Covid-19 pandemic, She gave us a tail gate celebration for our parking lot signing.  We can't thank her enough for everything she has done for us!  She helped us find our dream home but went the extra mile to make us feel at home.  Best regards from very satisfied customers,The McNally Family

I knew Mary Ellen from my job. When i ran into her and she mentioned she was now a real estate agent I told her that I was looking for a realtor having recently decided to sell my home. I asked her to represent me. She came to my home and assessed the situation. She was readily available, answered any questions and concerns and was always so positive when I was stressed or worried about the sale. Mary Ellen worked very hard to get the home information out to the public. Within a month I had an offer which I accepted. She was there for me during the whole process. I was very pleased and if I had another home that I wanted to sell, Mary Ellen is the first person I would call. Pat M
