Toni Strain

Toni made selling my home as quick and easy as possible. She is always available for questions and advice along the way. This is my second time working with Toni and if I ever buy or sell in the future she will be my realtor.

We worked with Toni Strain to sell our house in Middlebury and we kept working with her to find our forever home in Avon. Right from the beginning it was evident we were working with a professional who knows the market and has the experience necessary to get the job done. She went above and beyond her duties. We found exactly what we wanted and she made it happen. No matter what time day or night she was always willing and eager to help. Her knowledge of properties is priceless and she knows exactly who to send you to if you need help on something whether it's digging a trench, finding a good inspector or hiring a contractor. She knows everyone and it pays off. You're great Toni !! She was always available to answer questions and responded quickly. She made home selling and buying a good experience. We enjoyed working with Toni and we HIGHLY recommend Toni for any of your real estate needs. She is very professional, personable, efficient, honest, determined and has a vast knowledge of all of the aspects of the business.

I can't speak highly enough about Toni. She was not just a realtor, she became a trusted mentor, a great connector, and now, even after we found our dream home, she remains a dear friend. This was our first house and our first experience going through the process. She walked us through every step and gave honest assessments about each house we saw. We learned so much about what to look for in a house and about home ownership in general. She even occupied our toddler while we checked out houses. She set us up with the best team ever--from the mortgage guy to the inspector to the electrician, painter and contractor. Even now that we've moved in our new house, she still checks in on us to see how everything is going. We are in the middle of the coronavirus pandemic right now (it's a miracle this process went so smoothly), but we cannot wait to have Toni over for dinner at the new place. We are so grateful to her to her guidance, friendship, and for helping us find our first house and dream home. THANK YOU, TONI!

I couldn't be happier with using Toni as my real estate agent. Toni is straightforward, honest and always trying to inform. She is very attentive and helpful, no matter what hour of the day. Her and the people she works with made the process a pleasant one.

Toni is a very attentive realtor and works diligently for her clients. If she is with another customer and isnt able to answer her phone, she is very quick to return my call. This applies to emails and texts as well. She takes the time to address any issues that come up to the best of her ability and in a timely fashion so as to not delay the sale process. I would recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!

Toni is the most knowledgeable real estate professional I have had the pleasure of working with. She made selling my condo a breeze from the listing appointment and scheduling the photographer, to organizing showings and making recommendations for next steps in preparation of closing. She has a great amount of patience for any questions and always responds immediately. I never felt out of the loop or unsure during any stage of the process. I also always felt that she had my best interest at heart. I absolutely recommend her!

I recently purchased my first home in the CT area and Toni was absolutely a pleasure to work with. She was extremely knowledgeable of the area and was able to help me navigate the entire process from identifying the right place to selecting a law firm to assist me at close. She is extremely sensitive to budgets and not afraid to work off hours and weekends. I dont live in CT and it was especially pleasing to work with someone so accommodating in helping me find the right property. Highly recommend Toni to help with all your real estate needs!

Toni was an absolute delight to work with. She is one of the most organized and diligent folks I have ever worked with. This is especially helpful for someone with a type A personality like me that thrives on updates and timeliness. If you are looking to get it done and get it done well you wont be disappointed. In a hot sellers market, she was able to get me a fair price and buy and take possession of a home in less than 45 days. She negotiated with tact, politeness and firmness. It was fun watching her do it! I hope to work with her again.

Toni was the consummate professional and perfect guide in selling my parents home. She made a complex and potentially very emotional situation into one that flowed smoothly and efficiently and ended happily. Her attention to detail, connections with people, expedience, knowledge of the market, and responsiveness helped all parties feel comfortable with every decision. Could not have asked for a better outcome!

I met Toni initially back in 2018 when I was looking to purchase a house. I had such a wonderful experience, I decided to sell my house using Toni as well. Toni is very attentive, and responsive. If I ever had a question she would answer almost immediately. When selling my home, Toni explained the whole process and answered all questions. She explained options and gave reasons why we should or should not do certain things. I ultimately was the one to make a decision, but Toni made sure the decisions I made were well informed. I enjoyed working with Toni again. She really made selling my house a breeze!

Toni was absolutely amazing during the sale of house!! Toni worked diligently to not only ensure our house sold for the highest price possible but she made sure we felt comfortable every step of the way! I would strongly recommend Toni to anyone considering buying or selling a house!!

It was good karma from the start working with Toni Strain to find a house -- and when I did find THE ONE, Toni had a keen sense for what needed to be done to win the deal. She balanced being strategically aggressive with being positive AND humorous AND guiding AND professional. I am so glad she is my realtor and my friend! You can count on a high level of knowledge, determination and empathy with Toni as your realtor.

Toni is professional, Punctual and always available to for questions you may have, as good as it gets when it comes to a real estate agent, thank you very much for all of your help!!

I can not say enough wonderful things about Toni. We worked with her to sell my father's house and again to purchase a condo. When selling the house Toni gave great advice on what we needed to do to maximize the sale profit and she was knowledgeable and understanding. With her advise we were able to sell the house in days. When buying the condo she was so patient and understanding. She worked really hard to meet the needs of both my dad and myself. She was alway prompt to reply to any questions and came to showings well prepared to offer advice. She alo really advocated on our behalf with the listing agent to be sure our expectations were met. I would highly recommend Toni to anyone looking to sell or buy a home. I can't imagine working with a retiree and his opinionated daughter were always easy but she was always ready and prepared to help and answer questions. She was absolutely a pleasure to work with.

Toni gave us great advice on preparing the property for sale. She guided us through the entire process. She was always available when we needed her. We sold the property quickly and for more than expected. She really brings a special set of skills to service her customers.

A big shout of THANK YOU to Toni Strain who helped us sell our house. Toni gave us suggestions, ideas, advice and a strategy to maximize the sale profit.We followed her advice, and within four days of being on the market, the house was under contract!Toni is knowledgeable and understanding. A pleasure to work with. Prompt reply to our questions and concerns.I would highly recommend Toni to anyone looking to sell or buy a home. She is the person to have in your corner! Way to go Toni!!!

I knew Toni from a prior working relationship so I knew what to expect in terms of work ethic, responsiveness, etc., but I didn't know about her Real Estate experience other than the many great reviews she had already received. Toni represented me as a seller and was quick to get started. She set realistic expectations and gave several suggestions to prepare the house for photos and listing. She also presented a pricing strategy that was unconventional to me (even in a seller's market) and I admit I struggled a bit a accepting it but we went ahead with it. Within two days of listing the house we had several offers, most in excess of the listing price. The final sale price exceeded the listing price by over $20k!! And she didn't even say "I told you so". I highly recommend Toni for your Real Estate transactions. She knows her stuff and is very quick to respond at any time. I wish I had another house for her to sell. Thank you very much Toni.

Toni listened to our needs and provided honest feedback throughout the process of selling our home. Toni was quick to respond with any of our questions. She was knowledgeable in the industry and we always felt she had our best interest at heart.

Toni helped us buy our "lily pad" (her term, which we love) in West Haven CT. We connected with Toni remotely from our home in Sarasota FL and worked with her through email for a month before we could meet in person. Toni responded to our emails very quickly and was very knowledeable about condo communities in a geographical area (greator Hartford CT) that we didn't know much about. If she didn't know, she would find out quickly and get right back to us!We spent two days in mid-December visiting quite a few condos, but not finding just the right one. Upon our return to FL, we came across what my husband and I thought might be "the one." We couldn't fly up immediately but in the current "seller's market" with low inventory, we knew we had to move fast. We asked Toni to see if for us, and felt extremely confident that Toni knew what we were looking for and we could trust her to advise us on making an offer or not. She definitely rose to the occassion, advised us on what to offer and we bought our dream condo sight unseen with Toni's expertise! Toni also met the inspector without us. We flew up for the closing and our "first look", and were so happy with the condo! A+ Toni ! Toni was very knowledgeable in recommending a lawyer for us to use and we were very pleased with him and the paralegal who was super responsive and helpful.Toni is an excellent realtor, and now friend. We would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a hardworking, expert and personable realtor! Thank you Carol Cole, of Carol Cole Real Estate LLC, for recommending Toni to us!
