About Liz Smith

"We were very pleased working with Liz in the purchase of our new home. She was professional and answered all our questions promptly. She allowed us our privacy while looking, which is a breath of fresh air. We would certainly recommend Liz."
Annie and George Thom (Stamford, CT)

"Liz did a wonderful job for us from start to finish. She was very professional but at the same time friendly and helpful in every way. She went far beyond what was expected and I cannot recommend her highly enough"
Carole Steckler (Greenwich, CT)

"The most striking strengths that Liz embodies are integrity and honesty. Liz also has a great work ethic, and she is very diligent and thorough. Liz dealt with a difficult situation with the selling of my co-op apartment with honest communication, her signature integrity and steadfast patience. Liz is very professional and reliable, and I would not hesitate to engage her again as my agent should I choose to purchase another home in Greenwich. Raveis is very lucky to have Liz on their team. Unfortunately, I know first hand that not all agents possess Liz's admirable qualities."
Cynthia Olsen Gates (Greenwich, CT)

"We have known Liz for over 30 years, and she has helped us on several occasions with summer rentals in the Greenwich area. We have worked with many agents over the years for purchases and rentals, and Liz is absolutely the best. She is knowledgeable, attentive, responsive, professional and hard working. We wouldn't think about using anyone else in the Greenwich area."
Jim and Lisa Bertles (Greenwich Area)

"Liz has represented us in both buy and sell situations. Liz is knowledgeable and hard working and an ethical real estate professional. She is a good communicator and easy to work with. I would recommend Liz without hesitation."
John and Kathy O'Neill (Stamford)

"Liz was our real estate agent for a long while when we were looking for an older house with a great garden in Riverside. She showed us many, many properties and never lost patience with us, even when we gave up and stopped looking. We went back to her again the following year and eventually a great property came on the market, inhabited by a landscape designer who had made the garden a wonder to behold. Liz was quick to arrange a showing and supported us with recommendations of local tradesmen and professional services, since we were from out of state, and with our negotiations for the purchase, and we moved in in September.Three years later we decided to move out of state again, this time to Maryland, and asked Liz to sell our house in Riverside. She arranged everything very efficiently for us, from the photography and brochure to the open house for agents, and we had multiple offers and it sold within two weeks. We would highly recommend Liz Claiborne Smith to anyone who wanted to buy, or sell their house, in Connecticut."
Judith and Robert English (Riverside)

"Liz greeted us warmly and made us feel at ease while listening carefully to our wants and needs for our new home. We were embarking on a major quest for our dream home together and Liz may not have realized at the time that she was dealing with a couple of picky individuals with sometime differing opinions of what we wanted but a clear and definite knowledge of what we didn't want. My construction background meant that I looked at every property as a diligent house inspector would and my wife looked at the practical and aesthetic features so that we went through every option with a fine tooth comb. Over the next couple of months we must have looked at forty properties or more and each time Liz was patient with our criticisms and kept faith in us after we rejected yet another candidate with one or more deal-breaking flaws. She would send us new listings diligently every week and we would whittle them down to a couple of prospects and visit them on a Saturday or Sunday because we worked five days a week. Through this time we had a couple of near misses with offers being made and some close calls but the most amazing thing was when we had almost given up finding a home in a good location for the right price and Liz found us a property that at first glance didn't seem to fit our criteria. One which we initially dismissed more than once (mostly due to price) yet she persisted and against our seemingly better judgement we eventually viewed and pretty much instantly both my wife and I felt it was to be our future home. The fact that it was priced 50% more than we had budgeted originally was a major deterrent yet Liz helped us see that we could afford the cost and we made an opening offer. Through the bargaining phase Liz was transparent and gave very sage advice and even though the seller was very difficult she dealt with every hurdle capably and gave us good advice with the result that a deal was ultimately made. That didn't end Liz's involvement because the contract and mortgage process were trying but she stood with us all the way and even helped us with settling in after the closing. If anyone ever asks us for a recommendation for a real estate agent the first person we would think of would be Liz. She has made a strong impression on us as a person of wisdom, integrity, patience and of having an in-depth knowledge of her trade and it is our privilege and pleasure to know her professionally plus we also consider her a friend."
Tommy and Michelle O'Dea

"We were away in Florida during the sale of our Greenwich home and Liz could not have been better. She coordinated everything efficiently, always accompanied prospective buyers, communicated constantly, and even alerted us when the house needed attention. "Above and beyond" should be her motto. Fantastic!"
Michael and Jeanette Tzougrakis (Greenwich and Fort Lauderdale)

"If you are selling, buying or renting, it would be difficult to find a real estate professional who will work as tirelessly, patiently and successfully as Liz Smith. She deserves six stars on a five-star gauge. Liz helped sell our first home in Greenwich at the beginning the recent economic downturn, and obtained not only a fair price, but excellent buyers. We decided to rent until the market settled and she worked with us to find attractive homes for rent, sensibly prioritizing and organizing our visits. At last, when we decided to buy again, she knew our tastes, winnowed the list of appropriate choices and found an ideal home for us. We wholeheartedly recommend Liz to anyone seeking to buy, sell, rent or lease their home."
Carole and Laurence Moskowitz (Greenwich)

"Liz was great to work with. I don't know if you know this, but I actually met Liz taking my mom to get her Covid vaccine back in February of this year. She was volunteering and we struck up a conversation. Like all good sales people (me included), she left me her card; we spoke about the potential sale and I actually then called her 6 months later!

She is extremely professional, personable and prompt. You are lucky to have brokers as talented as Liz. Thanks for a smooth and quick transaction. Liz represented Raveis like a superstar!"
