50K Over Asking.... Truly Fabulous to Work with from Beginning to Closing...
I want to thank you for all of your time and effort selling our home. You made this whole process much easier than it could have been. From start to final closing we depended on your guidance to assist us with so many questions, you always steered us in the right direction. You are a wonderful example of how a professional realtor should conduct business.
We called you after business hours and you never hesitated to call us right back. You never made us feel as though we were a nuisance. More important, you never made us feel rushed or less important than another client. In closing, we are appreciative of your hard work and will always recommend you to anyone who is seeking a true professional Realtor.
Kindly, Area and Randy Vagnini
Farmington Sale
If you want your house to sell quickly for a great price, definitely list it with Sandy. She has a wealth of experience and contacts that she used to get our house sold in 3 days. While we were preparing our house to go on the market, she was brutally honest, yet patient, kind, always professional and always right! She staged our house beautifully, then guided us through the process of setting the price, selecting the best offer and communicating with the buyer. Sandy was clearly always on our side and working for us to ensure an easy, smooth transaction. We would recommend Sandy without reservation to anyone who is looking for a realtor to sell their home.

Another Home Sold....
Sandy was very easy to work with in the sale of our home. Her listing strategy and help with staging resulted in our home being under contact for over asking price within 3 days of going on the market. She kept in constant communication with the buyer’s agent and lender to make sure everything was on track for closing. Thank you Sandy!! Dan and Colleen O'Flaherty
Simsbury Home Sold!!!
This was the 2nd time I used Sandy Gervais's skills to represent me in the purchase and & in my home sale. One of her best attributes is her communication skills. This is an overwhelming process to go through especially in this market.
She is a great hand holder & walked beside me the entire process. I was THRILLED with the negotiations & sales price. I would highly recommend- A ONE STOP REALTOR with all the right connections for a seamless process. Sandy = Home SOLD. Alayna Clark
Another Farmington Home Sold!!!!
Sandy was invaluable to me as a seller. Her knowledge of the market in the Farmington Valley area is unparalleled and her support for the process of preparing to downsize was constant. She had many showings set up immediately upon listing and I received an offer quickly! Lisa Kroner
Over Hill and Beyond to Mandy's Home- Barkhamsted
Selling my home was an unusual and upsetting situation involving the State of CT. I PRAYED for an experienced realtor. Sandy is a knowledgeable, straightforward, no nonsense, professional. My unique sale required lawyers, tradesmen, and experts; she knew them all. Sandy handled all negotiations beautifully for my best outcome. She was hard working and encouraging despite all the set backs. I very much appreciate her wisdom, compassion and go-to-it personality. I highly recommend her to all! THANK YOU Sandy! Manada
Been in my Farmington home for 51 Years
The thought of selling my home of 51 + years was rather daunting but I have found it, doesn't have to be. Fortunately, I met Sandy Gervais. She took me on this journey step by step and I complied with with almost each suggestion. She coached me thru the business aspect & supported me that my home would sell without any difficulty. Indeed that was the case. The house showed well with many buyers filling the appts for a viewing. It was on the market for 2 days & many offers & the next thing, it was SOLD. I so appreciated Sandy's guidance & support thru this journey, much easier than I could imagine & Thanks to Sandy. She was my Cheering Squad as I sorted through my items. Carol Kolp
From a Really Happy New Family
Sandy, we just wanted to thank you again for all you have done and help your provided to our growing family! We thought we could share some of our experiences to other potential clients of yours!!
Sandy helped us navigate a very weird time in the marketplace. Coming out of COVID pandemic lock down and an uncertain time in the housing market. We were really comforted with the experiences and information Sandy was able to share with us.
Being a newly married couple with a baby on the way Sandy helped to keep us patient. It was very easy to start compromising on what you know you want when houses are flying off the shelves at over asking price. Once we landed a contract on a house Sandy continued to work, her expansive network of professionals proved to be worth its weight in gold. She helped navigate and negotiate inspection fails and ultimately kept our deal together, on deadline and was able to assist in getting us a better deal than we originally thought we would.
She kept us honest about what we wanted in our forever home, helped us get a great deal with some upgraded improvements on a house we already loved, and kept everything on schedule so we were actually able to close even earlier than originally planned. As time goes on, we are still benefiting from her network of professionals through referral discounts and great contractor work. We would recommend to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in any market. She truly helped bring us home.
The Madonna Family
Sandy helped us buy and sell our home in Burlington. She knows the Farmington Valley like the back of her hand. Sandy has a tremendous understanding of the market and possesses great intuition as to what a house is really worth and how well it will sell. Sandy is a true professional and in a class by herself.
Craig & Charles
We had the pleasure of working Sandy during our recent real estate purchase. Sandy’s professionalisms, extensive knowledge of the industry, and guidance really made her a perfect match for us. When certain things weren’t going according to plan, we always felt Sandy had our best interest in mind and was dedicated to getting us the best deal. We would absolutely recommend Sandy to anyone looking for an agent, especially a fist time home buyer like ourselves. No question about it... You will be in great hands!
Garth & Linda Camp
We put our home on the market in September 2014, but decided to move in December before it sold. Sandy went above and beyond my expectations with all that she did. She coordinated all the things that needed to be done, quelled all my fears and got the job done!! There were numerous roadblocks which with her knowledge were overcome easily. It was a pleasure doing business with her. I would highly recommend her to anyone buying or selling a home!
Rob Maternach
Sandy is VERY hard working and comes with list of excellent contractors who proved to be the key in selling this older home. This house, which was built in 1937, had all sorts of issues(leaking buried oil tank and leaking septic tank, along with partially blocked pipes leading to and out of the septic tank) so Sandy's contractors were essential(and reasonably priced) in completing the sale of this house in a timely manner.
Paula Giorgio
Sandy Gervais at Coldwell Bankers was recommended to us by a relative. Her many years of experience and knowledge of the real estate market in our area greatly contributed to our being able to sell our house very quickly. She also gave us several recommendations on how to improve our house that made our house stand out in this tough selling market. I would highly recommend Sandy as she is a pleasure to work with.
Darice McJula
Sandy was open and honest on what I needed to do to attract a buyer. Her experience and knowledge was a great asset on pricing and negotiation. She has an upbeat and positive attitude which was so needed when the market slowed down. She was a lot of fun to work with.
Skip & Inger Harrington
All the services you would expect from a top notch realtor - finding comparables to set the price, arranging for staging, recommending reliable contractors, advertising, working with our attorney, holding open houses, friendly advice, and unwavering support - all supplied in a very professional manner by Sandy. She certainly brings credit to the realty profession. We couldn't give a better recommendation. Thank you, Sandy!
Claude & Marcy Chiaia
Sandy was great when we were selling our house. Sandy made the experience seamless and our house was sold in 3 weeks at full asking price. No drama! The next time we sell our house Sandy will be our realtor.
Dustin Rider
Sandy Gervais was great in helping me find an apartment. We originally had another real-estate agent but he was distracted and the process wasn’t going anywhere fast. I have known Sandy for many years so I gave her a call and she was able to pick up the pieces and help us. Within a few days, I found myself signing the lease and doing a walk through with her. She was extremely helpful and without her the process wouldn’t have been so seamless.
Tina Pina
Today, is an emotional day for me. Even though, I am happy for the young couple that purchase my house, it has not been easy to let go of the home where I raised my children, created many great memories and built great friendships with the wonderful neighbors for over 20 years. I know, the buyers will enjoy the house for many years to come. I want to THANK YOU for all the effort and hard work you put in. You have made things easier and went above and beyond my expectations. I can honestly say that you will meet anyone’s expectations don’t matter how high they might be. You truly are a hard work, dedicated and compassion individual with the ability to create great customer satisfaction. Your company should be so proud to have someone like yourself. You represent your company with pride, high standards and integrity. Again, THANK YOU! You made it all happen.
The Sacks Family
We have twice used Sandy on real estate transactions in Avon. She is knowledgeable, professional, and hard working to get the best value for her sellers. She is an absolute pleasure to work with.
Doug & Becky Fellows
I want to let you know how grateful we are for all you did for us in the sale of our home at 19 Main in Farmington. You are the epitome of professionalism, in your knowledge, demeanor, and actions, and brought all of those elements to bear in seeing to it that our home sold. You were always a voice of reason (especially when I wanted to really lower the price!) and were wonderful at reassuring us that all would be well. Your outgoing and friendly personality are delightful to be around and made the sale of our home, and the initial purchasing of it eight years ago, such pleasant experiences. We are grateful for your friendship and your real estate acumen and give a very heartfelt "Thanks!"
Kim & Gerald Scala Jr.
We were referred to Sandy by a friend. Sandy was a go getter from the start. She returns calls promptly & courteously, day or night. She asks questions so she knows what to look for in a home just right for her clients. We went out a few times & found our home within those first few visits. She knew what I liked & what my husband liked after the first three homes that we saw. She knew what we were looking for. We found the perfect place for us in Burlington. Sandy will go above & beyond her duties to make sure that things get done for her clients. She keeps on top of things. She'll answer any questions you have. She makes sure that her clients are happy from start to finish. She even keeps track of her clients after the sale. We're happy with our new home & thank Sandy for all her hard work & dedication to getting us what we deserved for a great price. We'd recommend her to anyone wanting to get a home that they'll enjoy for a very long time.
Richard and Jeannie Dapra
Sandy is a first class profession whose attention to detail, initiative and energy gives you great confidence in her ability to represent you well. While working with Sandy, we were certain she was on top of everything, but, more importantly, we knew our interests were her most important focus. In addition to her strong professional capability as a realtor, she demonstrates an enthusiasm and personal interest that makes her a pleasure to work with. We recommend her highly and enthusiastically.
Mandy Nurge
Selling my home was an unusual and upsetting situation involving the State of CT. I PRAYED for an experienced realtor. Sandy is a knowledgeable, straightforward, no nonsense, professional. My unique sale required lawyers, tradesmen, and experts; she knew them all. Sandy handled all negotiations beautifully for my best outcome. She was hard working and encouraging despite all the set backs. I very much appreciate her wisdom, compassion and go-to-it personality. I highly recommend her to all! THANK YOU Sandy!
Bruce & Alice Dixon
We had our Farmington Valley home on the market for a year prior to engaging Sandy. We had not been given proper advice on how to competitively price or stage our home for showing. Sandy took over, and showings and offers followed. An accepted offer came our way in 3 months; we closed 60 days later. My wife and I were thrilled--and would certainly recommend Sandy as a knowledgeable real estate professional.
Terry & Bill Colton
We can’t thank Sandy enough for the time and energy that she put in to sell our home of 27 years. Given that the home had been on the market before without any action makes us even more appreciative. Whether it was the great suggestions she made for staging our home, the creativity in marketing the house including several open houses or the ability to secure a deal when an offer finally came through we don’t know. We also appreciated the fact that she kept us updated on the status on a daily basis. What we do know is that Sandy did the impossible and we are very happy in our new place.
Lisa Blettner & Bodil Rasmussen
Getting Mom ready to sell the house and move for this major life change was two years in the making with decisions, projects, emotional detachments and an overload of information. We knew we were going to start the process but needed help and wanted to know “everything we needed to know” to get the sign in the yard. We reached out to Sandy and sat at length to outline a timeline and “the beginning of our projects lists.” It was about a year later we reconnected to move forward with the listing. Sandy was the perfect realtor and match for our family and especially for Mom. From the get-go Sandy listened to our needs and readiness schedule and was patient and responsive with our many questions. Sandy has a natural and personable style combined with a customer oriented professional passion. She was also tremendously helpful with contractor and service referrals and sprinkling in essential recommendations when the time was right. We are very grateful!
Bob & Ann Young
Our house was on the market a few years ago with a different real estate company for many months and never sold. There did not seem to be much of an effort with getting it sold. With a recommendation from my neighbor, I called Sandy Gervais at Coldwell Banker Realty. With her suggestions, knowledge in real estate, astounding help, and effort we sold out house in 5 days! She has been there with us through selling our house and finding me a new house that I wanted. I cannot say enough to explain how fortunate I was to have her as my realtor and would readily recommend her to anyone needing a realtor.
The Lakireddy Family
Sandy helped us buy and sell our condo in West Hartford. Being from California, we had no knowledge of the region. Sandy brought her expertise to the table and quickly found us the right condo for our situation. After, leaving CT years later, we turned to Sandy again to sell the condo. She even helped us find a rental tenant for the condo while it was being marketed. We were very happy with Sandy's professionalism and experience. We would recommend Sandy to anyone who is either buying or selling. Thank you, Sandy!
Jason & Natalie Chang
Unlike most realtors I've met over the years whose number one priority is unquestionably themselves, Sandy truly has the client's best interest in mind. I have had the privilege of working with Sandy for the past 5 years, starting with a move to a new job opportunity that was best served with a rental condo, and then subsequently building a new home with my wife. She knows the area inside and out and gives you honest expertise and recommendations, not the self-serving advice too often given in the profession. Beyond highly recommended!
Kevin & Ellen Lagassie
After Sandy assisted us with the sale of our home we lived in for over a decade, she was able to a quickly change hats and represent us as buyers. She patiently answered our many home buyer questions, guided us through the purchase, and was there every step of the way with valuable advice from her many years of experience. We are now living in a home we love and can grow into for years to come, thanks to Sandy. We highly recommend Sandy!
Kevin & Lynn Moriarty
Making the decision to put our house on the market after 27 years was not an easy one. With Sandy by our side the entire process could not have been easier. She is kind, knowledgeable and was so patient with all of our questions and concerns. She listened to our thoughts and guided us every step of the way. She took care of everything and we absolutely could not have gone through this experience without her. Not only is she a successful real estate agent, she is a wonderful person as well.
Lauren Carlucci and Tom Sangeloty
The house-buying process can be very overwhelming, especially for first time buyers such as us. We were not sure where to start until a family friend recommended Sandy Gervais. From the beginning, it was evident that Sandy had extensive experience and our best interests in mind. We toured thirty-two houses and throughout each house Sandy gave her opinion of the pros and cons, making sure we selected the right one. For us, house showing thirty-two was the magic number. After our offer was accepted, Sandy was with us every step of the way, including when problems arose during the inspection. Without Sandy’s guidance and support, we would not have been as successful throughout this process. Without hesitation or doubt, we would recommend Sandy to anyone and everyone going through the home buying process for the first time or the hundredth.
Dan and Kim Sullivan
If you need a property sold, Sandy Gervais is the one for the job. Nothing but professional, prompt, super market knowledge and well networked. She has her pulse on all the contractors and knows how to get the job accomplished. Sold in 12 days.Two thumbs up. Thank you Sandy!
Nagesh & Madhumathi Tumu
Sandy has become our dear friend by the end of our home buying process. We were first time buyers, new to Connecticut, without much idea about the location or process. She patiently took our long list of requirements, including some very difficult ones, and shortlisted homes and showed us the ones that are suitable to us. She is a very warm-hearted person, always greeted us with smile. She answered our questions, and we requested specific details she followed through with seller and responded quickly. She is very knowledgeable about location, home condition, home prices and things to watch out for – excellent professional! She readily shared very useful tips that enabled us make better decisions. In one instance, when we had questions regarding the school curriculum, she arranged for us to meet with the principal at a very short notice and ensured our questions were answered – truly awesome! We are very fortunate to have the best real estate agent in our location.
Scott Chadbourne
Sandy is an A+, all-around, full service realtor who uses her strong experience and market knowledge to help seller and buyer find the best solutions. Her friendly and personable style puts all at ease and helps to focus on their interests. She is eager to take on all matters related to the preparation, listing, showing, and closing to make sure nothing impedes the process. Sandy s knowledge of the market provides access to the all the related parties such as the inspectors, lawyers, banks, town halls to fully support an efficient sale process. Sandy also helped my daughter to successfully buy her first home. I would gladly work with Sandy again as well as directing family & friends to her.
Corey and Sonia Bernier
We were were thoroughly pleased with our experience with Coldwell Bankers and especially Sandy Gervais, as we searched for our new home. Sandy was with us every step of the way. She was always there to answer a question and went way above and beyond the expectations we had for a real estate agent. We had complete trust in Sandy, and knew she was looking out for our best interest. And after all was said and done we ended up in our perfect home, and have Sandy to thank.
Tracey & Wayne Malenfant
Not only is Sandy an expert realtor in the Farmington Valley area, she also works with and always recommends the Best of the Best for everything from mortgage lenders, home inspectors, to granite installers. We have called Sandy many times over the last 20 years to be our realtor for both buying and selling and for regular home-ownership questions. She is always quick to help and has connections in every aspect of real estate. She is someone we can always rely on.
Meg Fitzsimonds
After working with Sandy to sell my home in 2008 and again when selling my mother's home this year, I have become convinced that she is the only realtor I'll ever need. While this can be a very stressful process, I felt 110% confident working with Sandy. She was candid, provided great feedback, helped explain details clearly and managed both home sale negotiations brilliantly. In addition, she was extremely responsive to all questions, big or small. Sandy's knowledge, professionalism and terrific instincts created a smooth process and an excellent outcome. Perhaps what stands out the most is how she kept our best interests in sharp focus. Thank you, Sandy. You treated us like family and we are so thankful for all that you did for us. Sincerely, MEg
Raymond & Anne Freake
We found Sandy to be a highly knowledgeable, hardworking and personable agent. Nothing was ever too much. She returned all calls, texts and emails promptly and always kept us up to date. She was a calming influence when we felt stressed. She was honest about some changes that we needed to make in our house to attract buyers and her advice was spot on. She knows the local market extremely well which was critical for us in the current market situation. We are pleased to recommend Sandy to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.
Melisa Bellantuono
I would highly recommend Sandy Gervais. When she placed our home on the market she advertised in local papers, created a beautiful color brochure for perspective buyers and had an open house one week after we listed our home. Sandy sold our home in one month during the holiday season.
Andrew & Michelle Hudock
"We had to relocate three children and two dogs from Florida to Connecticut so we were a bit stressed as we only had two days to look for a new home. Sandy was incredibly knowledgeable about the area and had an amazing ability to quickly dial into our personal style. We thought we wanted to be in Simsbury or Avon, but she realized we should look in Canton too. Sandy was able to quickly show us a perfect fit which was critically important due to our time constraints. She gave us a tour of the area and gave us contacts for the school districts and key businesses in our new town. She wanted to make sure we felt incredibly comfortable in our new surroundings– even letting us borrow her air mattress while we waited for our furniture to arrive. She has since called to ask if she can be of service as we settle in to the home. Sandy truly wants a long-term relationship with her clients and it shows deeply. This was by far the best realtor experience we have ever had!"
Jim and Donna Popham
We met Sandy at an Open House and immediately found her to be knowledgeable, professional, and low pressure. When we were ready to start our new home search, we knew exactly who to call. Sandy took the time to help us get familiar with the Farmington Valley area, listened to what we wanted, and then helped us find the right house, at the right price, in the right area for this stage in our lives. She genuinely wanted us to find a home where we would be happy. Dealing with Sandy felt like talking to a valued friend. We would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a house. Thank you Sandy!
Barb
Sandy sold my condo in a day! She made selling easy. She was extremely professional, knowledgable and able to put me at ease. The entire experience from beginning to end was a pleasure. Her wealth of experience was evident. I would highly recommend Sandy.
Aparna Iyer
We met Sandy through a referral. From the start, Sandy was willing to work with us. She went through the whole process of buying a house with us and did tours with us in the areas of interest. Sandy’s advice on homes was always spot on. Never did she push us into buying a house and she always reminded us of pros/cons. Sandy is a highly ethical professional. She always alerted us of any pitfalls before entering into in any deal. Not only did we get a trustworthy real estate agent but we also gained a great life long friend. Go with Sandy and you will have complete peace of mind.
Howard Berke
Sandy is one of the best realtors in the business. I have bought and sold several properties and homes in my lifetime in different states and she really knows her business and market pricing levels extremely well. In less than a week she had over a dozen prospective buyer viewings, and then a contract at nearly our asking price. Very thoughtful, thorough and helpful with the entire listing, viewing and selling process. Pleasant personality and prompt follow through on every issue till completion. We couldn't be more pleased with the results.
Renato Lenzi
My experience with Sandy Gervais was simply outstanding. My wife and I were looking to especial home in a the Canton. Sandy M. Gervais worked with us on a very personal basis and helped us to understand what we really wanted. Sandy is knowledgeable and always available. It was her local area knowledge and networking that enabled us to purchase our new home. We simply could not have done this without her. I am extremely pleased with the same of my house in Canton. Sandy is amazing. She offered excellent advice, full support throughout the buying process, answered every question and helped me make informed decisions. I recommend Sandy.
Kim and Barry Skipp
When we set out to buy our first house, my husband and I knew we needed to contact Sandy to be our realtor. She has been in the business for over 30 years and has a wonderful reputation. From the first time I spoke with her on the phone, I knew we made the right choice. She was responsive, honest, and was committed to helping us find our new home. We were buying in the craziest housing market since the 80's and throughout the entire process Sandy continued to reassure us that if we were patient, the right house would come along. She was right and we were fortunate to find our forever home. As first time home buyers, she made the process easy and stress free by communicating with us weekly to keep us up to date. We are so glad we chose to contact her to be our realtor and would recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell.
Mark Robinson
Sandy Gervais is the consummate professional. She knows the real estate business and local market inside-out. Because of the breadth and depth of her knowledge, Sandy was able to provide me with the guidance and support I needed to sell my house quickly and at the price I needed. (In fact, she sold it twice! The first buyer had to back out late in the process due to a personal issue. We regrouped and sold it again -- this time to successful completion.) Beyond her professional attributes, Sandy is a great person and a pleasure to work with. She works hard for you, listens, understands, recommends thus ultimately enabling you to make good, well-informed decisions. I was fortunate to have Sandy as my agent and highly recommend her!
Ann R
I was looking to move back to West Hartford from VA and saw an ad on Realtor.com for a condo I was interested in. I called Sandy to inquire and she was extremely helpful! She met my cousins so they could look at the condo and answered all my questions. I came up to see it in person before COVID-19 became a problem. Sandy was my lifeline by letting people in for inspections, quotes and helping me to negotiate a fair price. She has gone above and beyond her broker responsibilities by helping me find a lawyer, electrician and other professionals. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a realtor who knows "her stuff"! I can't say enough good things about her. Thank you, Sandy. You made my move back home a smooth transition.
Paul and Laurie
Over the past 20+ years, we have bought and sold 2 homes with Sandy Gervais. We can unequivocally say that Sandy is the only real estate agent in the Farmington Valley that we would ever use or recommend. As proof, we suggested Sandy to our son and his fiancé when they bought their first home in Southington, CT. Her 32+ years of knowledge of the area, market, and financial processes is second to none. And her personal relationships with realtors, contractors, movers and lawyers were invaluable through all parts of the buying and selling process. Always positive and optimistic, Sandy was able to guide us through a recent challenging selling market with facts and insights that resulted in a sale and uneventful closing. Sandy’s honesty and heart of gold make her the only agent we would ever consider for ourselves and our family. Paul and Laurie
Karen & Bill Haggerty
Sandy’s experience and knowledge were just what we needed. Thanks to her diligence she found out about an un-permitted addition and helped up quickly resolve without impacting the upcoming sale. This was the second home we sold with Sandy and she just keeps getting better and better! We highly recommended Sandy - if you want the best - she’s it!
Rob Poyton
When Sandy arrived at my home for our meeting, she was very professional & well-prepared. We talked & walked around my home without judgement. She made suggestions as to what I would need to do. After she left that day my fiancé & I discussed our options. We selected Sandy. That’s when the fun started!!! Sandy returned a couple of days later & but now with purpose!! Sandy gave me ideas & suggestions for each room in my home. These suggestions were to improve the look of each room for staging & pictures. The transformation started!!! Sandy guided me through every step of the process, keeping me involved & focused. She also helped with suggestions for professionals to assist with home improvements on issues that came up during the inspection. We never had a week go by without someone asking to view my home. Sandy was a great communicator. Not a week went by without us talking. I would recommend Sandy to anyone looking to sell their home.
Chris & Bill
Sandy should be everyone’s real estate agent! Her professionalism, knowledge of the Farmington Valley and keen sense of the local market are unparalleled. She will work hard for you and strive to make your home buying/selling process something you’ll look back on and cherish. Sandy’s friendly personality, reliability and dedication to her clients are qualities you’ll admire and respect. I have bought and sold several homes with Sandy and I cannot recommend her highly enough. Sandy is my agent and very close friend. She truly cares about people and will do her very best every step of the way to get you the home of your dreams.
Rich and Alicia Stefanik
We were impressed with Sandy’s wide-ranging knowledge of market trends and experience in selling homes in the area. This combined with the excellent professional photography and the guidance of her home stager allowed us to sell our house even during Covid market conditions. Sandy was also extremely responsive in addressing any of our questions or concerns; and we knew she was only a phone call away if we needed anything. Based on our house selling experience we would highly recommend using Sandy to any perspective home buyers or sellers in the Farmington Valley area.
Paul and Judi Argazzi
We have known Sandy since she was the selling agent on our last house that we purchased 20 years ago. She was also our neighbor and became a close personal friend. Through the last 20 years she has been a source of advice and opinion on all matters financial involving real estate. Her knowledge of the mathematics of real estate is excellent and she is very informed in both the buying and selling of properties. She advised us in the purchase of a second home and was the agent involved in the sale of our primary residence recently. She always knew who to call about anything and what to watch out for from prospective buyers. Sandy was instrumental in the staging of our house and the organization of showings and open houses. She did everything you would expect an agent to do………and more. We can give no higher recommendation or testimonial than to Sandy Gervais. She is the consummate professional! Paul and Judi Argazzi
Roger Manternach
I have sold two older and very much out of date houses with the help of Sandy Gervais in the past 3 years. I can not say enough good things about how hard Sandy worked to bring both properties to close in a timely manner. She provided the vision that convinced buyers of the potential that these older homes possessed which was not obvious at first or even second glance. A better real estate broker to sell your home you will not find! Roger Manternach
Bob Di Loreto
Sandy was a great asset on a number of levels as she lead the sale of our property through Coldwell Banker. Her professionalism and persistence in helping to find and align the right profile buyer streamlined the overall process and saved time. The home was well represented through open houses, the professional video that was created in addition to well organized brochures and pictures. What also stood out for us was Sandy's network of professionals who she coordinated for minor repairs, inspection certifications...all at very affordable rates. She was a "one-stop-shop" and saved us from having to drive down from a neighboring statein order to take care of key details. Five stars! Bob and Larry DiLoreto
Johnn & Susan Scarritt
Sandy is a hardwork professional, who has a stronge knowledge of the Farmington Valley real estate market. She offered us on point guidance while hearing our opinions and ideas. She managed our sale seamlessly and in a timely manner. Sandy is an invaluable advisor. Johnn and Susan Scarritt
Aaron Zucker
When we moved to Connecticut, my employer referred us to Sandy Gervais to help us find a great home for our family. We had quite a few “wants and needs” regarding home style, location, and price. She navigated us through the process with just the right balance of technical expertise and sense of humor to keep us as calm as possible and to avoid making too quick a decision as we evaluated a number of houses. She was very experienced in all the technical aspects of the purchase and had thorough knowledge about the neighborhoods of interest and the quality of construction by the possible builders. We loved the newly-constructed home we eventually bought and lived there for 15 years. She had told us our builder did wonderful work, and she was right: we had no significant structural problems with the home the entire time we lived there. Between then and now, we have referred others to Sandy for their home purchases, and all of them have been equally impressed with her guidance.
Deidre Ellioan
I’ve known Sandy for a well more than 20 years. So when it was time to downsize she is the realtor I turned to. She is extremely knowledgeable of the local market space for sure. But more important is her personal attention that alleviates the angst associated with working through the buying/selling process. She possesses a wealth of information and experience; she applies these insights to guide her clientele to their desired goal. Whether buying or selling, Sandy will get serve you well.

Sandy's integrity and trustworthiness set her apart from other realtors; she truly puts her clients' interests before her own. Her negotiation skills and overall business acumen are exceptional. More than just helping us to find our dream house at the right price, Sandy helped us in every aspect of our move to the greater Hartford area; ensuring a smooth transition for the entire family. Perhaps most importantly, Sandy is simply fun to work with, and if you are lucky enough to have her as your agent, you will probably gain a friend for life.

As first time homebuyers, Sandy made the home buying process incredibly simple. Throughout the entire process, she guided us every step of the way, making sure none of our questions were ever left unanswered. Without a doubt, we would recommend Sandy to anyone looking to purchase or sell a home. We are so fortunate to have been able to work with Sandy!
Anna Branch
Sandy was simply fantastic. We were working with a tight timeline selling our house and attempting to move all within 2 to 3 months before school began again. All seemed to be going well we found a house under contract then all of the sands shifted. In a harrowing moment Sandy was compassionate and thoughtful she pulled out every stop, worked with us daily and was in touch often. There were more snags in our purchase than any of us could predict were possible but we managed my girls started school on time in their town and it was due to Sandy's sound advice, expertise, and kindness. We cannot recommend her highly enough!
The Acosta Family
Buying a new house was overwhelming with all of the decisions to be made and potential towns to live in. Sandy was incredibly knowledgable about the area and made the researching phase delightful and helpful. She spent a lot of time learning about us and our family, our preferences and our taste in homes. She then brought forward great recommendations and suggestions given what she learned about us and her expertise in real estate. She was constantly looking out for us, getting us in to see hot new homes and negotiating on our behalf. She was always honest and transparent and wanted what was best for us. We are thrilled about the home we purchased with Sandy and could not have done it without her guidance and support! We highly recommend Sandy to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.
Elsee and Tom McEachin
We wholeheartedly recommend Sandy for anyone wishing to sell their home in the Farmington Valley area. We originally used an agent at a competing firm in the region, but did not have any success after almost a year of listing our home. Long story short we conducted brief interviews with several other agents and were fortunate to meet Sandy. She very quickly sized up the unique character of our home, and did a thorough competitive market assessment. Instantly we could see the difference in her analysis versus other firms; she provided more than just a surface comparison. Needless to say we were happy with the entire process shepherded by Sandy. She has a positive, enthusiastic can-do attitude, which gave us confidence that she knew the market and she knew how to get to a successful sale. She was always candid with feedback but never lacking in confidence in her ability to generate interest our home. We were and are totally delighted with how things turned out.
Janell and Mark Tartaglia
Sandy has always been one to go above and beyond! From her helping us buy our first home 5.5 years ago to the process of listing it and selling it to upgrade to our forever home now! She has been not only an amazing real estate agent but she has been an amazing friend and made this process so smooth and easy for us! Sandy was sure to always look out for our best interest and give us the freedom and flexibility to make decisions based on our preferences. She is extremely detail oriented and organized and available to answer any and all questions!o We would highly reccomend Sandy to anyone who is looking to buy or sell a home! We are grateful we have had her on our side!

"Every buyer & seller needs an agent like Sandy on speed dial! She is astute, prompt & extremely reliable. Her market knowledge, keen negotiating skills & most importantly, she takes the time with her clients. She gets to understand their needs, wants & especially items they’re not saying. Together we navigated our home requirements & she brought to our much loved Devonwood home. Now 7 yrs later, we knew she was the person to analyze the market & position us to quickly sell our home. With an arsenal of resources & contacts, Sandy is the essence of one-stop shopping when we bought our home, during our 7 yrs as owners, and now, when we sold our home for an out-of-state move. Searching for our new home & selling during COVID are very stressful events, but Sandy made it so much easier & took care of so many things for us from start to finish. Our hope is to find a Sandy whenever we need a realtor. Buying or selling a home, Sandy is an agent you can TRUST- she works in your best interest.
Bill & Ruth Rabinowitz
Sandy, you are the Best! It was such a great experience working with you on the sale of my house. Your knowledge of Devonwood, savvy negotiation skillset and great communication skills kept me at ease when I needed reassurance. I have not moved in many, many years. You are the coolest Real estate Broker. You were thoroughly knowledgeable on every detail and put me at ease on any concerns I had. We are thrill with the sales price too!! You have my highest recommendations. Fondly, Ruth & Bill Rabinowitz
Rob & Tami O'Neal
Sandy exceeded all of our expectations. Moving to a new area can be overwhelming (especially in the middle of a pandemic). Sandy listened to us, asked invaluable questions, gave us options that fit our needs, and leveraged her massive network of contacts to help us buy and settle into our new home. We love it! During the whole process Sandy was a steady rock and brought her encyclopedic knowledge of the business and process to bear. She was able to answer every question we had and left us feeling confident in each decision we made. Words can’t describe how grateful we are to Sandy. Thank you, Sandy!
Tom & Sue Schneider
If you want your house to sell quickly for a great price, definitely list it with Sandy. She has a wealth of experience and contacts that she used to get our house sold in 3 days. While we were preparing our house to go on the market, she was brutally honest, yet patient, kind, always professional and always right! She staged our house beautifully, then guided us through the process of setting the price, selecting the best offer and communicating with the buyer. Sandy was clearly always on our side and working for us to ensure an easy, smooth transaction. We would recommend Sandy without reservation to anyone who is looking for a realtor to sell their home!
Paul and Judi Argazzi
Sandy and I first got to know each other when she was the Listing agent for our home in Farmington. She was knowledgeable, professional, and a pleasure to deal with. Over the next 22 years she has been our agent for every real estate transaction we have been involved in which involved 2 houses & a condo, buying & selling. She guided us through many potential sales, often advising for or against certain properties. She noted prices, locations, every facet of the buying & selling process. She also was able to evaluate potential buyers or sellers and noticed things we would never have thought of. Sandy was totally involved with the staging of both properties, wonderful pictures for ads & many showings. Sandy did all the follow-up work, advising about inspections, etc. Sandy knows every aspect of the closing process and we never had a problem with lawyers or other agents. She is a respected and very articulate professional. Needless to say, I’ll always want Sandy in my corner.
Mitch and Angie Conners
Sandy, What can I say about all the hard work you did to help us sell our house in Avon and purchase our home in West Hartford? Nothing other than you a great agent who goes above and beyond in everything you do. In the sale of our home you spent countless hours negotiating a tricky deal. You always worked to represent our interest and make sure we sold our home at a great price. I know there were hours of behind the scenes calls, emails and negotiations that you worked on tirelessly. Knowing our what we were looking for in our next home, you went out and found it! I could not have picked out a more perfect house than the one you found for us and negotiated while we were on vacation. If you had not done that, I can't even imagine where we would be. You found s house that matches our need perfectly in a great location. Thank you for everything! You are a great agent! Angie
Ann Palmisano
21 years ago Sandy found us our dream home in two days after searching the area for over a year with another realtor. So when it came time to sell our dream home we gave Sandy a call. I had questions on what needed to be updated and thought we had to do way more than she recommended to get the house ready. She has a network of contractors that are skilled, cost effective and professional to assist with touch ups and updates. She saved us so much money we didn't need to spend! We also put the house on the market with a Sunday open house and 3 days later had our offer at the highest price sold in our neighborhood in over 5 years. All we can say is WOW!! She's the best realtor in the area and I now call her my friend. Thanks Sandy
Tom and Lindsay Latin
While searching for our first home, we were fortunate enough to attend an open house that was being hosted by Sandy. A few weeks later, when we were prepared to intensify our search and work with a professional, we were already sure that we had found the right person to work on our behalf in Sandy. As time passed by, this decision proved to be a great one. Sandy was always extremely professional, personable, knowledgable, and accommodating while working with our atypical work schedules. In a relatively short time, we were able to learn about many properties and find the right fit for us. Furthermore, Sandy was an exceptional advocate for us in the negotiation phase while making the entire buying process as stress free as one could imagine. As first time homeowners, we highly recommend Sandy to any prospective property sellers or buyers. Thank you Sandy!!
Frank Vaccaro
Sandy is a wonderful woman - she is so diligent and willing to help during the entire sales process. Since I traveled frequently for work while my home was on the market, she had to let contractors into the home on my behalf. She was willing to oversee their work on her own personal time which greatly expedited the process. My initial contract price was higher than the selling price which Sandy needed to negotiate due to an appraisal issue with recent past sales in 2017. She knows this complexity inside & out. She truly goes above and beyond for her clients and treats all individuals with respect. I would recommend Sandy to anyone who is selling their home. You will not find a better realtor, or person, to work with. Sandy worked diligently for me and I know she will do the same for you
Bob & Betty Zawacki
Sandy is not only a fabulous realtor, she also becomes your cheerleader, helping you navigate the buying or selling of a home. As an astute businesswoman, interior decorator, and whatever else you need her to be, your home will be SOLD. Just follow her advice!
Carol Lowbeer
Sandy’s “can do” attitude, knowledgeably, responsiveness & upbeat personality made working with her a pleasure. Sandy was recommended to me by a neighbor whose home had sold. I interviewed 2 other realtors, just to be fair. Realtor #1 used our meeting to talk entirely about himself, realtor #2, talked endlessly about statistics till my eyes glazed over. Realtor #3 which was Sandy, focused immediately on my home, with practical advice on staging, arrangement, pricing & other details. That was what I wanted to hear! Though it took me a while to move forward, I put my home on the market after taking her advice. It sold quickly, due to proper presentation & pricing. During the selling process, Sandy helped me negotiate all the twists & turns. She was very accessible & easy to reach. She is efficient, hardworking & worked tirelessly on my behalf. Lastly, she has a great sense of humor & was fun to work with, a great quality for a stressful process. Call Sandy- she's great!
Chris Silansky
Once again, Sandy has exceeded my expectations- sold with first showing over asking price - closed in 38 days! What are you waiting for?! Call her today!
Deanne Born and Dennis Golbesky
We selected Sandy to list our house because we felt a Devonwood resident would best convey to potential buyers the wonderful lifestyle we all enjoy in this community. Not only did Sandy do that, she handled every conceivable aspect of the sale, including suggestions for contractors to use to prepare the house for showing and home inspection items. Our home sold after 32 days and 22 showings! Under Sandy’s expert guidance and with her friendly advice, selling our home was almost “easy”. Now our only regret is that Sandy will not be there to guide us at the other end.
Scott & Jen Jackson
Your financial health depends on partnering with a broker that you can trust & that has the experience to deliver proven results. From the very beginning of the home selling process, Sandy was in our corner. Before placing our home on the market, she suggested targeted improvements that were aimed at attracting buyers. No detail was overlooked, from paint colors, window treatments to roof cleaning & power washing. Sandy helped us keep costs down while addressing areas that buyers would appreciate. Simply stated, she knows what buyers want & expect at the most discerning price points. Sandy provided us with a clear understanding of the competition. Her knowledge of the market, especially as a Devonwood resident, was a tremendous asset. Be prepared to hear honest truths from Sandy, always respectfully proffered, but nevertheless based upon decades of experience. Sandy’s advice was data driven, always aimed at securing maximum value.
stacey Petruzella
Sandy worked tirelessly with us until we found the perfect home. She was so dedicated and responsive, I sometimes found myself wondering if we were her only clients - of course we were not by any stretch but that is a testament to how she treated us. I often had to bring my children with me to look at homes and she was kind and genuinely interested in them and their feelings about potential homes. She bent over backwards to accommodate my complicated schedule, crazy impulses about new towns to look at and narrow tastes in homes. After our offer was accepted, she never stopped working for us, sticking up for us and advising us. Her real estate experience and knowledge of the Farmington area was invaluable.
Ray Wang
Sandy is a good professional real estate professional. She provided professional suggestions and helped us buy a beautiful house.
Tom and Sharon Leonard
Sandy was a pleasure to work with. She is well informed and knew exactly what needed to be done to ready a house for listing. Sandy provided invaluable tips in staging our home appropriately. She also had strong relationships within the community and was incredibly informative and helpful throughout every step of the process. She provided knowledgeable guidance without ever pressuring us. We received full asking price within 3 days of putting our home on the market. It was a seamless process and we would highly recommend her!
Carole & Dave
It was a pleasure working with Sandy. She is very knowledgeable of the area and was able to help us price our house to sell. She helped us through the whole process; from pricing and staging to selecting the right moving company. She is truly a full service agent! We put our house on the market the week before the shut down happened and no one really knew how long things were going to take. Well, we got and offer on our house within two months and closed a month later. I can only imagine what Sandy could do with out all the restrictions. She is a true professional and a joy to work with.
Dean & Annmarie Rustic
When we made the decision to sell our home I had done some research as to what the home prices were in our community & I was certain that I knew what we would get for our home. We then made the call to you. Your keen knowledge of the market, trends & experience all came into play. You knew exactly who the buyer of our home would be (Young Couple with a growing family) & what we had to do to make the home so appealing to them. You provided us a game plan of what had to be done and you had the resources to make it happen. Many of our friends could not believe that you sold our home in just one week. Anne & I were overjoyed as it was for $30K more than we thought we would get.After going through other homes that we were looking at buying, it was obvious that not every realtor is as seasoned professional. There were many times that my wife & I would see something and say to each other “She wouldn’t approve of this”. It is the hard work & effort that Sandy puts in prior to a home.
John & Jenna Minton
As difficult as it can be to find the right person to help you sell your house, we knew the moment we met Sandy that she was the right person for the job and she did not disappoint. Sandy is relentless. She works incredibly hard. She has her finger on the pulse and her honesty and willingness to help us show the best version of our house were huge reasons for our success. The process itself can be painful, but Sandy does everything she can to simplify and focus every hurdle on the horizon. She is always a quick call or a quick text away. Whatever comes up, Sandy “knows a guy.” And we’re certainly glad that we knew her.
Tom & Bobbie Pequignot
My wife & I lived in our home for 46 years raising our 5 children. We interviewed a number of agents and they were all acceptable but alot of our friends suggested that we talk to Sandy. After we met her and she gave us the needed info, we knew she was the one. She was knowledgeable, very concerned about us & extremely helpful in guiding us in what had to be done to sell our home. We had 21 groups of buyers and sold the home in 2 days. If I would be required to move again, I would engage her services again. Tom & Bobbie
Alice and Nick Noyes
We have recently had the pleasure of working with Sandy Gervais on the sale of our house in Avon. She more than lives up to her 5 Star Professional designation, and byline "Exceeding Expectations in the Farmington Valley & Beyond!!!" She is professional, highly knowledgeable and experienced. Nothing phases her, and she coaches, encourages and guides you along the way with a positive, can-do attitude that is not only reassuring, but fun! We were impressed in the first meeting when she showed that she knew the comparables of our home like no other agent we'd met with, and she acted quickly and effectively with getting our house on the market with top notch photography, extensive advertising, and exceedingly well attended open houses. Then the follow through with us was amazing. She never stops, even when on vacation! Her broad network and excellent relations with prospective buyers, agents, lenders, inspectors, attorneys, and vendors, made a significant difference in how the sale p
William (Bill) Galske
Sandy provided invaluable advice throughout the sale process. She recommended valuable interior staging tips which involved removing and adding furnishings to make the house more visually martketable. She generated comparables and likely selling scenarios, as well. We were luckily in a “hot” market and received offers over the asking price and within two days of listing we were headed to contract. Her homework in gathering comparables helped make the appraisal stand up. Sandy also expertly managed the several pre-closing inspections. We were not inconvenienced and were able to just let the process flow without surprise or anxiety. Her professionalism and experience shined through the entire process. I would unequivocally recommend Sandy for your transaction- sale or purchase! - William Galske, September 2020
George Ciaccio
Sandy is an outstanding real estate professional. She guided me throughout each step of the sales process and was in continuous contact with me. She's a great communicator. She was instrumental in helping me price my property just right so I was able to sell in a very reasonable period of time. I include Sandy as a friend. PS Sandy introduced me to two wonderful women who I dated (at different times).
Dan & Landis Mayasich
We've bought and sold over a dozen homes in various cities across the country over the past 30 years and have had the pleasure of working with some very talented realtors. Much to our surprise and delight, our best experience thus far has been with Sandy Gervais. Her credentials, her history, and her experience were all impressive, but what won her our business was the genuine enthusiasm and love she showed for our home and the confidence she expressed in her estimate of its value. It didn't take us long to make our choice to go with Sandy...and we never looked back! She was SO attentive to our needs, warm and gracious, the ultimate professional. Sandy is such a bright light, always upbeat and encouraging. When our buyer came along, she provided calm, insightful counsel and ultimately helped us move through the process to a successful close. It was flawless, but more importantly, it was enjoyable. We now consider Sandy a dear friend.
Betsy Robinson
In a situation that was incredibly complicated by the fact that TWO of us were selling the property- in different parts of the US . Sandy was gracious about helping us through our financial mix-ups. Her Clarity was awesome!!! A true diplomat and I am eternally grateful. Betsy - One of the "Golden GIrls"!!!!
