Redefining Real Estate

Colleen was absolutely amazing to work with! Colleen is professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and truly went above and beyond throughout the entire process. We couldn’t have asked for a better realtor and would highly recommend Colleen to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!

Colleen is the best. She helped my husband and I buy our first home this year. She’s so pleasant and professional. We were never pressured to spend more than we had and she made sure we weren’t settling. Colleen taught us so much about home buying and owning. Having her to walk us through the entire process made everything so easy. We love Colleen.

Colleen is professional, honest, and amazing to work with! We used two other realtor's services before we met Colleen and she blew them out of the water. She works extremely hard and is darn good at what she does. Her expertise and attention to detail is unmatched. We trusted her 100% throughout the buying process and would absolutely use her services again in the future!

Colleen made the home buying process so easy for us. She was transparent and never pressured us to make decisions. Not only did she help us find our home, I can confidently say that she also helped us become responsible and knowledgeable homeowners. She was able to answer all of our questions in a timely manner and kept us in the loop every step of the way. Colleen’s support was invaluable for us, and we plan to keep in contact with her for years to come!

I recently had the pleasure of working with colleen during my home buying journey, and i cannot recommend her enough! she found us the perfect home in shelton, ct. from our very first meeting, colleen displayed a level of professionalism, expertise, and dedication that set her apart from other people we spoke to. throughout the entire process she was incredibly responsive. no matter the time of day, she was always available to answer my questions or address any concerns i may have had. I wholeheartedly recommend reaching out to colleen; you will not be disappointed!

Colleen was a great help during our home buying process. She was always available and helped us with any questions we had. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a real estate agent.

Colleen was an excellent partner to work with. We worked with mutual buyer clients together on their purchase of a newly constructed home in a sellers market, and she handled the transaction with a level of finesse and expertise. Truly helped make a potentially complicated transaction into a smooth one!

Collen was an excellent choice for our real estate agent, in my opinion. Her expertise, competence, sincerity, integrity, and work ethic are all highly valued and admired. She is meticulous, trustworthy, good with people, and skilled at connecting people with the perfect home, resulting in us finding the perfect home for my family.

I was prepared for the stress of moving from NY to CT, but Colleen made the move a stress free process. She was able to find my family and I the perfect home in a short period of time! I highly recommend her, trust me!!

My company worked with Colleen when she was selling a high end property in Westport. Very professional and personable. She is a great asset to have when buying or selling!

Colleen is the best RE broker I had a pleasure working with. She is very professional and helpful. I highly recommend her!

I can not recommend Colleen Murray and the entire staff over at the Higgins Group enough! Such high levels professionalism and support throughout the entire home buying process.

Fantastic agent the best of the best. Colleen goes out of her way to go above and beyond for her clients. I highly recommend her!!!

Colleen was so helpful and professional! An absolute joy to work with!

We couldn’t have asked for a better realtor than Colleen! From start to finish, she was absolutely amazing throughout the entire process of buying our first home. She was knowledgeable, patient, responsive, and always willing to answer our million questions. Even when things got stressful and complicated, Colleen was there to reassure us, advocate for us, and make sure everything stayed on track. She truly went above and beyond for us, and we always felt like she had our best interests at heart. We are so grateful for all of her hard work and dedication in helping us find our first home. We would recommend Colleen to anyone looking to buy or sell a...

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Colleen! From start to finish, she was absolutely amazing to work with. She was incredibly knowledgeable, professional, responsive, and genuinely cared about making sure everything went smoothly. Colleen went above and beyond throughout the entire process. She was always available to answer questions, explain things clearly, and make what could have been a stressful experience feel easy and manageable. I always felt like she had my best interests at heart and that I could completely trust her. What really stood out to me was how much she cared—not just about the transaction, but about making sure I was tru...

Vanessa and Margaret from the Vander Blue team just did an exceptional job helping us to find our first house! They were very responsive, insightful, professional and helped us seamlessly navigate through the whole process (from getting started with what we were looking for, to multiple showings weekly, to the mortgage and closing process). They were very flexible on when they could meet or talk which was great as we both work in office most days. They provided many great tips to make our offers stand out relative to the everyone else's. We would definitely recommend Vanessa and Margaret to anyone who is looking for a house!

I recently closed a transaction where I represented the seller, and Brandy & Margaret were the buyers agents. It was a pleasure working with both of them. They were both professional, responsive, courteous, and easy to work with throughout the entire process. Their communication and collaborative approach helped make the transaction smooth and seamless for everyone involved. I would gladly welcome the opportunity to work with alongside them both again.

We had such a wonderful experience working with Vanessa! She was incredibly responsive, helpful, and attentive throughout the entire process. She was never pushy, worked within our budget, and gave us great recommendations. Whenever we had questions, she made sure we received answers in a timely manner. She kept everything moving quickly and made the entire experience feel seamless and stress-free. We truly appreciated her support and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home!

We recently worked with Jaqueline Bush from Vanderblue team. She was absolutely lovely to work with. She got us a great qualified tenant in a short time and took care of the process from beginning to end. The process was transparent and easy!

We truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Jeff McTernan and our experience working with him over the years. Our relationship with Jeff goes all the way back to 2021, when he patiently showed us what felt like countless homes before helping us find and purchase our very first home in Norwalk. That home ended up being incredibly special to us and will always hold such a meaningful place in our hearts. We bought a wonderful property at a great time, and Jeff played such an important role in making that happen. So, almost five years later, when my husband and I decided it was time to start looking for a home with more space and land, there was...

We had Jaqueline Bush as a buyers realtor and she was absolutely amazing! Very easy to work with, great communication and very proactive. Buying a house definitely challenging but I felt supported all the way. We even invited her to our wedding. Definitely recommend.

Our realtor, Jeff McTernan was great! He was patient, answered all our questions, and was very kind. He was incredibly helpful during our search. We would gladly do business with Jeff and the Vanderblue Team in the future.

Vanessa of Vanderblue helped me find an apartment that was just what I was looking for.

Selling our home was one of the most emotional and stressful experiences we've gone through, and we truly could not have done it without Brandy and Margaret. From our first conversation months before we listed, they demonstrated exceptional professionalism, responsiveness, and communication. No question was too small, no concern was ever dismissed. They kept us informed every step of the way and were always available when we needed guidance or reassurance. They have an incredible network of resources which saved us time, money, reduced stress, and helped us move the process forward efficiently. Brandy and Margaret understand selling a home is more t...

Mariano was great about keeping in touch intermittently to check on our needs without being overbearing. Vanessa was very responsive, easy to work with, and was great at getting all of our questions answered and assisting with paperwork. I’d be happy to give them more business when the need arises again.

Top notch realtor, highly recommend!

Christina is a wonderful resource for the Vanderblue Team. She provides impeccable service to all of her clients and truly looks out for their best interests!

Outstanding and totally dedicated real estate agent, with a lot of personal touch. Got multiple offers within 15 days. I was very appreciative of that effort. I would recommend Christina to anyone I know.

We are writing to highly recommend as exceptional real estate professionals both Ellen McNees and Cristina McVaney of The Vanderblue Team at Higgins Group. We had the pleasure of working with them this past spring on the marketing of our property in Westport. Their professionalism truly set them apart from the outset. Throughout the entire aspect of the real estate process they demonstrated excellent communication and organizational skills. They provided us with valuable insight and guidance in marketing our property. We were so pleased with the entire experience and would gladly use them again and highly refer to all we know. Thank you… Vanderblue!!

Christina McVaney is absolutely wonderful to work with. It’s like having a friend on the “inside” that is working for you. She really care about hers clients. Very professional, experienced and helpful. She never made us feel uncomfortable and helped us every step of the way. Highly recommend!

Working with Christina, Ellen and the Vanderblue Team was such a great experience. Not only do they know the real estate market well, as a good broker should, but they made the entire process smooth and enjoyable. Thank you so much for helping us find exactly what we needed!

Christina is a consummate professional and extremely patient with us. Our real estate search spanned a year and evolved from a casual search, to a hiatus, and then to a more deliberate search across multiple towns. She is very responsive and is a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend working with Christina!

Our experience with Christina was nothing short of EXCEPTIONAL! My wife and I had the unique experience of looking for a Westport home while still living in CA. Christina made the process effortless by always making herself available for odd-hour/odd-day showings that support our west-coast schedules. Beyond that, Christina made herself available to our locally based family, giving them separate tours and showings. Christina's knowledge and passion for the Westport/Fairfield area is unmatched and made cross-country relocation a breeze. All said, Christina McVaney should be your first call for your home selling or purchasing needs!

Top realtor, neighbor, and friend, this is my experience with Christina. Christina recognized the value in the family home and property that I was charged with selling after my father died. Christina got me top dollar from its sale. But more than that, Christina was a gentle and calm presence as I spent months emptying the house and dealing with the grief after my father's death. I live out of the area and Christina provided the extra service of finding a contractor to do the final clearing and cleaning of the house. The listing, showing, and sale of the property was done flawlessly and at a distance from me while I was across the country.

Christina and her team were an absolute pleasure to work with. We appreciated the professionalism, market knowledge and their incredible marketing effort which showcased our home so effectively. We would strongly recommend Christina and her team if you’re looking to buy or sell in Fairfield County!

Christina and Ellen were referred to us by a very close friend of ours who has used them to buy their home in Westport. We got connected first via e mail at a time we were not really looking to buy a home. Christina was sending us weekly MLS listings which matched our search criteria, and gave us time to have an idea of the market before we were ready to buy. When it came to looking for a house she was always available with very short notice (sometimes even hours before the showing) and both of them were contactable very easily by text/email or phone call (which was what we valued the most). They were flexible, patient with us and helped us to find ...

I had the pleasure of working with Christina McVaney and Ellen McNees over an eight month period while searching for a home in Fairfield County. I made offers on multiple different homes before finally landing the right one, and through it all they honored what I was looking for and showed incredible patience—especially since I was out of town for much of that time. They were even willing to tour homes with me via FaceTime. Despite the challenges of today’s competitive and overpriced market, Christina and Ellen made the process not only manageable but genuinely enjoyable. They also helped my daughter find her home last year, and we both truly apprec...

Stef was amazing. Well spoken and understood the market. She knew exactly what we needed to do to get our house sold. I would use her again if I needed too.

Stefanie did an amazing job helping me find the perfect home for my family and me. When I met Stefanie, it felt like we were friends because of how personable she was. Stefanie made the process so easy, and I walked away feeling stress-free thanks to her. She is kind, professional, and very knowledgeable. When I’m ready to buy my forever home, I will definitely be using Stefanie again! Whether you’re looking for a rental or to buy, Stephanie is the realtor you’ll want to use. I highly recommend Stefanie. It was a pleasure working with Stephanie, and I look forward to working with her again!

Best Realtor EVER!!! If you want an honest dedicated person who truly cares about your needs and vision than you found the right realtor. She was able to sell our house at a fair price without any hassle. She took care of everything! Thank you Flo.

Floria was a calming presence in what could otherwise be a stressful experience. She had an excellent photographer and stager. Floria did a great job pricing and advertising our home and in the end all parties involved in the process were happy.

This was my fourth real estate transaction with Floria. Professional, efficient, thorough, strong communication skills, realistic and fair! I strongly recommend having Floria on your team when selling or buying real estate!

Floria was wonderful to work with. She is professional, knowledgeable and responsive. The services provided by this agency were excellent. The sales brochure and pictures of my home posted on line were exemplary. My house sold in 2 weeks!!

Floria acted for us in the recent sale of our home in Wilton,CT and we would very highly recommend her. My wife and I were really impressed with Floria's hard work and commitment to us during the entire process. Up front she made valuable suggestions as to the pricing and sales strategy we needed for a successful sale and in fact we got an offer within 24 hours of being on the market. During the ensuing process Floria and her partner,Ian O'Malley took us smoothly through the whole thing and were always cheerful and efficient whilst navigating those tricky details that always come up, with flair and integrity. Floria is a true pro and a really nice p...

We couldn’t have more praise for the Vanderblue Team of Higgins Group. It was a challenging time to put our house on the market during Covid-19, and once we met with Floria and Ian, we knew the sale of our home would be handled with care and professionalism. One of the strongest points of working with them is that they are there for every showing of our house. What a difference it made in the sale of our home as they were the best representative for us as they knew all of the nuance and updates to be shared with every interested party. Also, they were there to answer questions and be of help both to us and potential buyers. A win-win for everyone. T...

Jeffery McTernan has been a great help to me. His commitment is reflected in his attention to the details. He is very knowledgeable, accessible and communicates clearly, making the process easy. A joy to work with!

Jeff is kind, reassuring and knowledgeable. He was always willing to answer my questions and a delight to work with. He never tried to talk me into a place, he listened. Before viewing appointments he contacted me to confirm showings and was really helpful in my search. I really enjoyed working with Jeff and when I am on the market again, I will reach out to him.

Excellent to work with. Responds promptly. Extremely knowledgeable. Made the entire process extremely easy and painless. Went above and beyond for everything.

Jeffrey is very patient and extremely knowledgable of the various areas of Connecticut. His tenacity got us a house that exceeded my wants and expectations. My family and I are ecstatic in our dream home!
