We are a real estate team in Kansas City and when our close friends said they were relocating to CT, we offered to help them find the right local agent in the Madison area. We shared a few names with them and they immediately were impressed with Phoebe. She offered them exceptional service from start to finish and made them feel extremely confident about buying a home essentially sight unseen. Her communication with them (and us) was always stellar... a true local expert and a consummate professional. She's our CT go-to for life! Thank you Phoebe for taking such good care of our friends!

Phoebe is exactly the kind of partner you want when shopping for a home. Knowledgeable, honest, responsive, and direct. My wife and I were first-time home buyers, looking for houses in Madison and Guilford. The market is hectic these days and the journey can feel a little overwhelming for those new to the process. Phoebe truly cared about our goals and took the reigns on our behalf. When we finally found our home, she acted immediately to put us in the best possible position, guiding us through each step. We are new and happy Madison residents thanks to her. Phoebe has so many positive reviews because she's simply great at her job. At the beginning of this process we asked ourselves "How do we find a good real estate agent?" If you're reading this, you already found one

As first-time homebuyers, Phoebe was very knowledgeable and helpful. She worked around the clock to find us exactly what we were looking for in a very competitive market. Phoebe was very professional, and fun to work with. She provided great guidance, while always listening and responding to our wants and needs. Would absolutely recommend.

Phoebe is the best! Our family was relocating to another state during the pandemic. We were glad that we had Phoebe to help us. Right after the interview, we knew that she is the one. She was great to work with, and always responsive when we had questions. She knows the local scene very well and she recommended a great handyman for us for some fixes. She listed our house at the right price and our house was sold on the first day. I highly recommend Phoebe to anyone who wants to sell their house.

We were introduced to Phoebe by close friends who had loved working with her themselves (to both sell their former home and purchase a new one), so we went in with very high expectations...and she still somehow managed to exceed all of them! As first-time homebuyers, we were intimidated by the process -- and had heard horror stories from various people about how stressful and exhausting the process can be -- and Phoebe made the entire process feel shockingly easy. She provided the information we needed to make informed decisions but applied *zero* pressure. She was incredibly responsive and able to move as quickly as we wanted to, but equally patient and generous with her time. Her knowledge of the area and negotiation skills, as well as the insights she shared with us regarding everything from why certain homes we were looking at were likely priced the way that they were to which types of potential repairs/issues might be more problematic/costly than others proved invaluable, and brought us comfort through what might otherwise have been a bewildering process. Sitting in the new home that she helped us purchase, we truly feel spoiled by how easy she made it - and can't imagine working with anyone else in the future!

Phoebe provided excellent guidance throughout our journey to find our new home. She listened carefully to our priorities and only brought ideas to us that she’d carefully evaluated. We never felt pressured. She helped us evaluate how to price our offers and when to walk away. In a very tight market she got us in to see an ideal home the day before its listing was published. She attended our inspection and made helpful observations about which issues were important and which were not. She helped us manage hiccups during escrow. She helped us with design ideas for a challenging space. We couldn’t have asked for more. Thank you for being so responsive and for making our challenging goal happen.

My wife and I have purchased 8 homes and sold 7 in our lifetime. Our experiences have been from jolting to OK. Truly, none came close to the category of exemplary - until our recent sale in Madison Connecticut. From the beginning Phoebe Schreiner of Sotheby’s Real Estate ensured my wife and I were well informed on the procedures of the sale, things to expect - the good and not so good, focused our expectations of timelines and responsibilities and most importantly expected results. The property entered the market at a price and time guided by Phoebe that provided results inside 8 days

Phoebe is incredible! From the day we met, she inspired confidence and always made us feel that she truly had our best interests in mind. She is a talented and knowledgeable advisor and a passionate and dedicated advocate. She helped us sell our first home and purchase our new home and did everything in her power to make the process as smooth and painless as possible. We constantly relied on her experience and sage advice. Phoebe more than lived up to her impressive reputation. Not only did we witness her abilities firsthand, but we heard consistently glowing reviews from the terrific network of professionals to whom she introduced us - our inspector, attorney, and more. Phoebe is extremely professional in her work, but she is also more than willing to put on her "friend" hat to lend solid advice and honest opinions. On more occasions than we can count, she went above and beyond for us to make sure everything was done correctly and timely. We could not more highly recommend Phoebe to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. Thank you, Phoebe!

Phoebe is THE BEST! She helped my boyfriend and I buy our first home together and was there for us every step of the way. Whenever we had questions she was right there to respond and point us in the right direction. We felt as though we were always her primary concern as she was always available to show us houses whenever they became available. She is always so caring, positive and attentive and we just felt so comfortable throughout the entire process knowing we had her to help guide us. Thank you for everything Phoebe!!
MS
Phoebe has such a positive, warm, and caring energy which makes her such pleasure to work with! She was so patient and knowledgeable and really took her time with us. She was always available to show us houses, which also made the process easier, especially since we looked at so many homes. Phoebe also has a great eye for interior decorating and an awesome sense of style which is always an added bonus! I can not recommend Phoebe enough!

I preface this review with the bias that I hate all Realtors generally. Phoebe was wonderful to work with. She was knowledgeable of the local area/market, open and honest, and as responsive as anyone I've worked with. She made the entire experience of agreeing a price through to closing on the house as smooth as possible especially with the time constraints I made her work to. She is a Realtor to be trusted. (Given my bias, this is an extreme compliment) Many thanks for all your help Phoebe. Couldn't have done it without you!!

Phoebe is a rock star! She handled the sale of our home and purchase of a new home with speed, skill, and professionalism. We listed our house before leaving on vacation and came home to a buyer and a closing date on our new dream location! If you are looking to move on the shoreline, Phoebe needs to be the first person you call!
TR
We were lucky enough to work with Phoebe twice in the last few years. Most recently our Madison home sold in twelve days during summer 2019. Phoebe has a very efficient approach, warm personality, and long list of local resources. I would not recommend any other agent.

A+. Phoebe was recommended to me by a family member and general contractor in my family who lives along the shoreline. I am a clergyman who has lived in church housing much of his life and NOT along the Connecticut shoreline. I was naïve and inexperienced in buying and negotiating a home purchase. Phoebe was a gift from GOD to me. She went over and beyond the call of duty and exceeded all my expectations. Interestingly every professional I dealt with (including a few I found on my own without her assistance) spoke in glowing terms about her. Her reputation is sterling. She was wicked smart, thoughtful, and very wise as well as honestly having my wellbeing first and foremost always in mind. I also found her to be "fun" to talk to and deal with. A joyful real estate agent that truly knows her stuff.

Phoebe was a joy to work with from start to finish during our relocation home search on the CT shoreline. We moved from out of state and each visit to the area she had multiple listings lined up for us to view while provided helpful information on each town we searched. She is a knowledgeable realtor, a strong negotiator who answered all questions and concerns promptly. Phoebe worked diligently to find us the 'right' home for our family. She is a true professional and I highly recommend her for your home search too!
DC
Phoebe was incredibly professional and helpful in every way. She has an amazing amount of knowledge in all areas of real estate coupled with a friendly cheerful personality. I highly recommend her and would call on her again in a heartbeat.
AM
Phoebe is simply incredible. I would recommend her above all other agents in the area. She goes above and beyond for her clients, truly cares about helping with all aspects of the process, and knows real estate in the area like no one else. We would use her over and over again! She is the best of the best!
SM
Phoebe is absolutely wonderful to work with !!! The first time we met we knew right away she was the one that would represent us in the sale and purchase of our homes. She did an amazing job without any issues. Phoebe is someone you can continuously rely on, is always on point, and in the know in the Real Estate world. We feel Phoebe is like family and would recommend her professional services to anyone!
BB
Phoebe is a godsend. She deftly maneuvered through every obstacle that came our way - and there were a lot. I have never had a realtor fight for us harder than Phoebe. Her local knowledge of homes, as well as services like contractors, septic, various inspectors, etc. was indispensable. If you need to buy or sell a home on the Shoreline, go with Phoebe.
LA
Phoebe is AMAZING!!! I could not have asked for a better realtor. She had my house sold in a week and found me and my kids a short-term rental on no notice! Advertising was amazing and she always moved her schedule to fit in showings even at the last minute. I felt so comfortable in the whole process knowing I could call or text anytime I was feeling uneasy or had questions during the process. Would not use anyone else!
CJ
Phoebe was a joy to work with. She tirelessly helped me look for my perfect home over many months. She knows this business inside and out and was a confident, knowledgeable advocate many times over. Phoebe also brought great enthusiasm and creative ideas with her, which made the journey all the more fun for me!

Phoebe is a true professional from Start to Finish. She was very clear in setting expectations, very personable, and wonderful to work with. She has a ton of energy and is extremely knowledgeable and outgoing. She is unbelievably efficient with great follow-up. We enjoyed working with Phoebe and would recommend her strongly to others.
JC
We honestly do not know what we would have done without Phoebe's guidance, experience and support during the process of buying our first home (which anyone knows is a scary one). Phoebe was professional, accessible and was always willing to answer our "silly" questions. When hiccups arose during the purchasing process, she patiently helped us work through them, and was always available for inspections, appointments or just to hold our hands. We could not have been more pleased with our experience with her and would recommend her to anyone buying a house! She started as our realtor and quickly became a part of our family!
JH
Phoebe is one of a kind! Extremely personable and professional. She is very easy to work with and she is always available to answer any questions you may have during your house search. We loved working with her! Highly recommend her services!!!
DB
Phoebe was a great agent and spent a lot of time with us helping us find the perfect place to live. Her knowledge of the area was amazing and very helpful. Will definitely use her again if the need be.
RA
Literally THE BEST on the shoreline! She is in a league of her own. The most responsive, detail-oriented, energetic relator I have ever met. She moves fast and gets things done - all with the biggest most bubbly smiling face. Our first listing with her, went from on the market to sold in less than TEN days - Phoebe doesn't mess around, yet is so fun to work with. Simply the best combination I could imagine! Can NOT wait to work with her again soon.
BP
Always above and beyond. Continuously felt we were her primary concern. Very attentive and supportive. I wish I could recommend her more than 5 stars for this review.
CR
Phoebe was a lifesaver in the real estate process. In 2015/16, she sold my house after a divorce and navigated the messy process with ease, and sold it within 2 months! She went above and beyond to get it sold as quickly as possible. She then found me an amazing beach rental for myself and my two kids as we house-hunted together. Even though I was nervous to pull the trigger, Phoebe forced me to see the house she knew was perfect for me and in the budget (which was tough in my town). Every step of the way, Phoebe was amazing. She is easy to get in touch with any day/any time. She works tirelessly to navigate you through stressful times and celebrate with you during the exciting times! I highly recommend Phoebe to anyone looking to sell, rent or buy along the shoreline and although I have no plans to do this all again if i did, she would be the first person I call and she's the first I refer to friends.

Phoebe was a pleasure to work with. My husband and I have bought and sold homes many times before so we wanted an experienced and skilled realtor. Phoebe fit the bill. Very knowledgeable about Madison. Great attention to detail. Skilled negotiator. Our sellers were kind of difficult, but Phoebe handled negotiation with firmness, yet tact and both sides came away satisfied. We felt she really cared about us and finding the right home for our family, not just selling us a house. She even helped us get our daughter registered for school. Would highly recommend her!!
DS
Phoebe is a great realtor to work with. She was extremely knowledgeable in the process and made me, a first-time homebuyer, feel completely comfortable and informed. Phoebe was always available when I had questions and quickly understood what I was looking for in a house. I would highly recommend Phoebe to all of my friends and family looking for a house because she makes her clients feel as if they are her first priority and her friendly and energetic attitude makes her easy to work with.
EK
Phoebe made buying our first home fun! Patiently guiding us through the process of finding the right house while offering tons of information about the area.
JD
We would highly recommend Phoebe. She worked extremely hard to find us our dream home. As first-time home buyers, we were very nervous about the whole process. However, Phoebe made it easy and guided us through. She took us to see as many houses as we wanted and we never felt pressured by her to settle for a home. She truly wants you to find the perfect home. She was very responsive to all of our questions and concerns. We always felt like she was working for us. We could not be happier with our dream home and are so thankful to her for helping us find it.
CJ
Businesswoman to the core. EXTREMELY FRIENDLY! Especially to our children. Made us feel comfortable and like we truly had someone on our side during our home buying process. Phoebe helped us find our forever home at a fantastic price. Can't say enough good things about her.
AP
My wife and I met Phoebe while attending an open house on our own. We were moving from another country, so we needed to find more than a good realtor to assist us, as we didn’t know a lot of things about the new place. Phoebe was GREAT! She showed us, something around 30 houses and we never saw her complaining or upset when we asked to see the same house one more time. She’s no pressure, pretty easy going, funny and we are very happy as we found not only a great realtor, but we started a friendship. Phoebe is a phone call far away, she was available all the time and would instantly respond to messages. House hunting process isn’t easy, however, Phoebe made it a seamless experience! We strongly recommend Phoebe as a realtor!
JM
Outstanding from start to finish. Efficient with showing us houses that matched our interests. Great negotiator. Impressive follow up to be sure we were on track for a quick close. Phoebe is the best choice in Madison and someone I would give my highest recommendation.
JB
We had a tough situation with sellers. Things could have gone way smoother. Phoebe was able to go to "battle" a bit and help us stay protected and ultimately sealed the deal for us. She knows how to negotiate.
EM
I met Phoebe while attending an open house on my own. I instantly decided to use her as my realtor due to her professionalism and personality. Since I was moving from out of state, I needed to condense all my showings into one day at a time. She was more than accommodating! I didn't know the area and she was so knowledgeable. She went above and beyond for my family, scouting local places for us to enjoy while in town, gathering school information, and relocating needs every time we were here. She was available all the time and would instantly respond to messages. It took about 8 months from start to finish and Phoebe was there every step of the way. I highly recommend Phoebe as a realtor!
LR
Phoebe is an incredibly gifted real estate professional with an innate ability to navigate even the most contentious of waters. Our transaction was far from smooth for a variety of reasons (no fault of Phoebe's!) and she managed each successive challenge with a degree of emotional intelligence that you rarely see in this industry. She was highly communicative and responsive, cheerful and optimistic throughout. I cannot recommend her enough.
CG
Phoebe has been such a great help in finding our first home! As first-time home buyers, we are very new to the process of buying a house, and Phoebe took the time to walk us through everything and make sure we understood what was going on and what we needed to do at each step. She knows the CT shoreline really well and was readily available (even at nights and on weekends) to visit properties with us and chat with us whenever we had a question! She is extremely nice and always made sure our wants and needs were being met and negotiated for us to get the best deal possible. I highly recommend her!
