Testimonials
"In 2013, we met Alan and Melissa for the first time when trying to buy a home that was for sale by owner in Weston. They went above and beyond to ensure that we had a fair price and any accommodations we required. Fast forward to 2022 and we did not hesitate to contact Alan and Melissa again to help us sell that same home. We have always been impressed by their professionalism, quality of communication, and attention to detail. They did not let us down 9 years ago and were spectacular partners as we planned our exit from Fairfield county. We highly recommend this dynamic duo should you have any home buying or selling needs!"
Vivian Wesson (Weston CT)
"If you want your home marketed fabulously, sold quickly and for best price use Alan and Melissa Hamilton. I used them when buying 13 years ago and when I decided to sell a few months ago I immediately contacted them again. A lot has changed in marketing a home in 13 years and they were on top of all the latest in technology to market a home. This included building my own website to market my property, using a drone to capture the location of home and surroundings on private beach on Fairfield Beach Rd. and Matterhorn technology to show the home virtually. They suggested listing at a price higher than I was thinking but I trusted their knowledge. I received an offer from the first person that saw the listing within a few hours of listing. The home sold for $50K more than list and was a cash buyer. My neighbors in our small beach community were astounded with the quickness of sale and price. It seemed clear that if they were going to sell in the future they would reach out to Alan and Melissa. Anyone who has gone through the process selling a home knows the importance of getting a good agent. Alan and Melissa are the best!"
Margaret K (Fairfield Beach)
"My wife, daughter and I moved up to Connecticut from Philadelphia, and Alan and Melissa are by far the best realtors I have ever had the pleasure to work with. Along with an incredible fund of knowledge about real estate throughout CT, they went above and beyond to arrange multiple showings on days we could drive up from PA, coordinated inspections and walkthroughs, and facilitated our closing during the COVID pandemic! I could not recommend realtors more than Alan and Melissa, and if you're looking in Connecticut, don't hesitate to contact them for an absolutely amazing experience!"
Michael Tocci M.D.
"Alan and Melissa went above and beyond in handling the recent sale of my lakefront home in Fairfield. Always professional and immensely patient, Alan and Melissa gave great suggestions for preparing the house for sale to show its best assets.
This was not an easy sale. The house definitely needed a lot of work but they knew what would appeal to buyers and marketed it accordingly with their beautiful photography, videos, and social media. They understood well how to use technology to market to modern home buyers.
All my questions were answered quickly and patiently. They made me feel like I was their only client while I knew they were juggling multiple sales simultaneously in the crazy Fairfield pandemic real estate market. I was impressed with the final offer they got me for my home,
Alan and Melissa were superlative at handling every aspect of the sale from the initial showings through challenging price negotiations and inspections to my final move-out and the closing. The Hamiltons are the most responsive, professional and skilled agents I have ever worked with."
Linda K (Lake Hills, Fairfield)
"5 stars all around!
No one could ask for a better home selling experience!!! We had no idea that selling a home was an art. But working with Melissa and Alan we found out the many ins and outs and ups and downs of selling a home and preparing to put a home on the market.
From start to finish, Melissa and Alan worked as a seamless team, overcoming any unexpected obstacles with ease.
They suggested simple and inexpensive updates that really made our house shine, and their highly professional photos made the house stand out from the others; they made our listing sparkle! And you may not believe it, but our house sold on the very first day!
We have only raving reviews for Melissa and Alan and highly suggest partnering with them if you are considering to sell your home. Their process was professional, their responsiveness was superb, and their negotiating skills were strong.
You can be sure that Melissa and Alan's personal touch will ease the stress of your entire home selling process, they will be there with you every step of the way!
A special heartfelt thanks to both of you, Melissa and Alan!"

"Alan and Melissa were an amazing realtor team that I would wholeheartedly recommend for anyone in the Fairfield County area.? They were efficient and extremely knowledgeable with both the purchase of our new home and, more importantly, the sale of our previous home.? They were professional, disciplined, creative and respectful throughout this process.? They never rushed us and we were still able to sell our house in less than a month AND buy the home of our dreams at the same time.? Alan's unique marketing tactics coupled with Melissa's design skills helped make our house the number 1 searched house on Zillow in the area!"
Ben and Lindsay Ingalls, Fairfield? (Fairfield)
We received constant professionalism from The Hamiltons.
We knew and trusted they would sell our home. We came full circle -we purchased the home and sold the home with Alan and Melissa. They both are exemplary and kept us proactive and ahead of the market. It is without hesitation that we would highly recommend The Hamilton?s to our ?Fairfield County friends."
Maulucci Family (Fairfield CT)
"Alan and Melissa Hamilton did a superb job of marketing my home and finding me a qualified buyer. This was not an easy transaction for several reasons but they were with me every step of the way and were always easy to reach and gave me excellent advise throughout the entire process. They acted on my behalf over and above what would normally be expected of any agent and I am very grateful to them both for their hard work, diligence and perseverance. Thank you both!"
Maria Aggestam (Fairfield)
"Alan Hamilton is top notch. In terms of character, he is easy to talk to. We quickly established a meaningful relationship, which is important in the home buying process.
For starters, he truly cares. He wants you to be in a home that suits your wants and needs, and he also wants his clients to be making wise investments. From the getgo, Alan was listening carefully. We promptly started seeing some homes, and he had a wealth of knowledge to share about the houses, the neighborhoods, and the home values.
He was quick to answer any little silly question I had, and if ever I found a house I wanted to see, he scheduled a showing ASAP. At one point I found a house online, texted Alan, and we were inside the house 45 minutes later. That, to me, is top quality service.
Alan helped make the negotiation process relatively painless, despite it lingering for a few days. His experience with negotiations helped me to make difficult decisions.
I was a first time home buyer and Alan helped walk me through the whole process. In the end, I feel as though I got a great price on a great home, and I owe much of that to Alan. I highly recommend him without hesitation."
Chris Johnson (Wilton Ct)
"Melissa and Alan Hamilton worked so hard to sell our house with multiple offers and being able to close within 30 days we where amazed how quickly and smoothly the whole process was. Would definitely recommend them."
The Kosut Family, Westport
"Loved working with Alan and Melissa. They really helped me find exactly what I was looking for and were so supportive of my experience. Highly recommend them!!!"
Beth Saffer, Southport CT
"We highly recommend Alan and Melissa Hamilton; they sold us our home in Westport. They did everything possible in order to accommodate our needs at all times. The effort, energy and commitment that they provided for our purchase went far beyond both of our expectations. We could never have believed that working with real estate agents could be so wonderful !"
We would like to take this opportunity to assure that you are in good hands. We will truly recommend them to any person we know who is in the need of buying or selling a home. We just can't even express how awesome they are."
Alan and Melissa, you are true professionals, and it has been an absolute pleasure to work with with you."
The Butlers, Westport CT
"Alan was professional, quick to respond, very hard working and knowledgeable when it came to finding us our first home. He took the time to explain the different steps throughout the process and was patient. Our experience working with Alan was wonderful!
Ron and Lisa Brown
We are first-time homebuyers who are new to the area. Alan was extremely helpful during our search. He has a lot of knowledge about the home buying process that he was always willing to share with us. He also demonstrated great knowledge of the area in which we were looking. Alan was very patient while we searched for the perfect house for us and he took his time to show us every house we thought we might be interested in. And now we have our perfect home!
The McHales, Fairfield CT
"We would both like to thank you both for the wonderful job you did in obtaining a buyer for our home and for your diligence throughout the sales process. Your professionalism, enthusiasm and kindness were greatly appreciated. We will recommend you with confidence to anyone looking for two truly outstanding real estate agents."
The Prochilos, New Canaan CT
"We can't thank Alan enough for the type of agent that he is. He was with us every step of the way and helped us with every question and concern we had. When looking at homes he wasn't just trying to "sell" us a house, he was trying to find us a house that was a good fit for us. His knowledge is obviously extensive and he always gave us his concerns about any individual home. We were incredibly fortunate to have worked with Alan and without his help are quite confident we may not be in our dream home now."
Matt and Andrea Cyr, Fairfield
"Alan and Melissa worked tirelessly to get my home in Westport sold! I had initially tried the For Sale By Owner route which did not work out so well (there's more to it than meets the eye...especially in this market!) and I was grateful when Melissa called and offered their assistance. Within a month and a half, they brought me a good offer and we closed 60 days later. Two weeks prior to closing, a storm hit the area knocking out the power in Westport....I was stuck in NY but Alan was there, switching out the back up batteries on my sump pump to keep the basement dry! Big thanks to you both....I couldn't have done it without you!"
Christian Brandonisio, Westport
"My gratitude to you both for all your hard work and know-how which paid off in my securing my beautiful new home! It was not an easy road, (especially with my list of criteria!) but you were always there to support and guide me and made sure my best interests were your first priority."

John Ward, Fairfield, CT
"One of my closest friends recommended Alan Hamilton without hesitation and now I know why. Alan uses all the resources at his disposal to insure that you find the perfect house for your needs. Every day, for the next 2 weeks, he enthusiastically helped me search not just for any house, but for the ideal house for me and my children. Alan's vast computer knowledge helped us focus our search on the best possible listings that matched my necessities. As everyone knows, in the real estate market, its the early bird that always gets the worm, and we were able to purchase our dream home having seen it immediately after it was listed on the market thanks to Alan. I highly recommend his services for those who settle for nothing but the best."
Robert Sancho, Fairfield CT
"Alan Hamilton is an extremely competent Realtor that reads the clients needs correctly, not wasting time and energy. Punctual and diligent, he always followed up promptly and assertively. In fact, without his help I would not have secured the house I finally found and committed to on July 1st. He then made sure that an inspection was done very quickly since time was of the essence. He also followed up constantly with the selling broker who at times dragged her feet. In sum, Alan is very professional, knows the market, does not waste your time and is a pleasure to work with. You'd have to go far and wide to find someone better."
Steve Lehman, Fairfield CT
"This letter is my personal recommendation for Alan Hamilton. Recently, Alan helped me purchase a home and his representation exceeded my expectations. I found Alan to be efficient and very easily accessible. In my situation, Alan was working for the seller. Upon contacting him and after the first walk through, I felt he was trustworthy enough to also represent me as the buyer. Alan in this situation, representing both seller and buyer, was always professional. I did not once feel uncomfortable with him representing both parties and felt he was always looking after my best interest. At closing, there were no complaints. I would highly recommend Alan to represent anyone in the sale or purchase of a home.
"We had the pleasure of working with Alan to purchase and sell our home. We had originally reached out to him months before we decided to sell our house and he was patient to work with us at our pace. We never felt any pressure and he was thorough in educating us on the process.
When we decided to finally move forward with selling our home, Alan worked quickly to get our home looking its best! Although the process can be stressful Alan held it all together and we?re thrilled with how it all turned out. I highly recommend him to friends and family all the time. Thank you to Alan for helping us navigate a big decision, we couldn?t be happier!"
Paul Conant
"Alan was absolutely outstanding!!!! He sold our condo in 3 days. He made a bumpy closing smooth. He was constantly on top of every move. Then sold us a beautiful home in Fairfield. Perfect in every way. Alan made both of these deals with exceptional wharf work, knowledge, thorough and all done with kindness and our best interest in mind. He is the only realtor I will ever use again. This all goes for Melissa also! The dream team!"
Colleen Bonina (Fairfield CT)
"I have had several real estate transactions during the past 44 years and have many friends and a few relatives who are real estate agents. NEVER have I encountered a team of realtors Melissa and Alan Hamilton) more knowledgeable, more talented,more energetic or more supportive during the process of selling my house. Anyone lucky enough to chose them for their needs will be amazed by their commitments and genuine concern for every detail."
Susan Palmieri (Fairfield, CT)
"Alan and Melissa were fantasitc. Their attention to detail and recommendations for getting the house ready were spot on. The pictures, video and floorplan they made available on the website were top notch. A great team to work with and highly recommended."
John Closson (Fairfield, CT)
"We received constant professionalism from The Hamiltons.

"Alan is a top notch realtor. He was always quick to respond to calls, texts, and emails, and was incredibly helpful as I made my way through buying my first home. He answered every question I had thoroughly and with pleasure. He made the home buying experience less stressful. I would recommend Alan to anyone looking to buy."
Christopher Johnson (Wilton, CT)
"After putting our home on the market last year with no final sale, we were reluctant to put the house back on, thinking the timing may not be quite right. Boy were we wrong! We listed our home with Alan & Melissa after they had presented us with a wealth of market information, pricing guidance and their personal experience in listing similar homes to ours. We felt they really took the time to get to know our objectives and reasons for selling and were able to generate terrific, compelling marketing collateral to support their equally impressive knowledge of potential buyers and agents. End result- we had an offer before the 1st open house, and a full price offer a day later. They were able to negotiate a closing date that worked in our favor but more impressive was the fact they kept in constant contact- updating us on other homes for sale and market information and continuing to stay involved in a rather long period between contract and closing date. Most agents would be on to the next deal, but Alan & Melissa made us feel like we were their only client- from day 1. We look forward to the next time! <br /> <br />The Sabrowskis, Fairfield"
"Not only did Alan help us buy our home, he also made referrals to other service providers who proved exceptional. Alan also assisted with price negotiation, inspections, and faciliated every aspect of the transaction."
"My wife and I were first time home buyers. Alan and Melissa were more accommodating than we ever would of expected. Also, Raveis Mortgage was aggressive in securing our loan and provided excellent service in the cumbersome process."
"Alan Hamilton was the ultimate agent. Had an answer and a solution to everything. A real team player. THANKS!"
"Alan and Melissa are the perfect team. They understood what we were looking for and the constraints of our budget and ultimately found us just what we needed."
"Alan & Melissa worked consistently throughout the sales process even though we had a full price offer within a few days of listing. Made great recommendations on marketing / showing our home. Great materials, photos, etc. We were very happy with all service all around."
"The Hamilton's are a power couple that really deliver what you are looking for. They explain everything regarding the purchase step by step very clearly. Melissa and Alan got us in touch with everyone from mortgage brokers and insurance companies to service companies in our area and even handy men and contractors for renovations. It was a very smooth and pleasant experience."
Anne McGuire (Westport, CT)
"Alan and Melissa were excellent to work with. They are knowledgeable and lookout for their client's best interest. It was great to have an honest and dependable team that was fully supportive throughout the entire process on both the sale and purchase side of the journey.
