Reviews of Seabury Hill Realtors (Real Estate Agency)

Faith Brown

Jack Hill recently helped us sell our home in New Haven. We found Jack to be knowledgeable, honest, dedicated, proactive, and available at any time. His advice was always on target, and within a week of listing our home, we had several offers. I strongly recommend Jack if you are looking to buy or sell a home in the area. He is fantastic!

The number one Real Estate agency in New Haven for sales and rentals. Good old fashioned service on Wooster Street.

Jack Hill helped us buy our new home and sell our previous old one. He has deep roots in the community, knows the market incredibly well, is unvarnished in his recommendations and advice while always being an advocate for his clients, has a great network of skilled tradespeople to help fix up a home, and is incredibly responsive and communicative. His assistance was instrumental in successfully bidding on our new home, and his understanding of the market helped sell our previous home at a great price. Would recommend him highly.

Jack Hill is knowledgable, honest, professional and he knows exactly what to do in this market. I own rentals and he is the best I have met.

John Smith

Jack helped us with the purchase of a condo in New Haven. He provided information on a broad range of properties that corresponded to our needs and verified the information with the sellers. He explained thoroughly the details involved in purchasing the condo. He was very pro-active in obtaining answers to all our questions during the buying process and as it unfolded we came to trust his insights and explanations. Above all we appreciated his hugely positive yet sensible outlook. We wished we had encountered Jack many years before to help us purchase and sell our homes.

Purchased a home with the help of Sarah Beth from Seabury Hill Realtors last May. She made the process of first time home buying effortless on my end, and everything went very smoothly. I highly recommend using Sarah Beth for any real estate needs.

Jack Hill was a tremendous and trustworthy agent--honest, transparent about all parts of the process, immensely knowledgable and accessible. He gave us excellent advice, patiently answered all our many questions, and helped us successfully navigate the purchase of our first home. We feel so fortunate that we got to work with him and give him the highest recommendation we can.

Roseann is incredibly knowledgeable and helpful, which made my apartment search much easier than I ever thought it could be! She went out of her way to make sure I found the perfect place and was patient and responsive even though she was in the middle of a very busy rental season. I wholeheartedly recommend her!

Rob Brock

Jack is a pleasure to work with! He is always available when we need him, and he goes above and beyond to make the home selling/buying process as stress free as possible for his clients. We will always be loyal clients.

Jacqueline Tanaka

Jack was incredibly helpful with our move to New Haven. We had no connections there aside from Yale and very little time to negotiate buying a home. He was honest and intuitive about what my husband and I wanted which wasn't always the same characteristics. Jack worked with us and with the seller and I think we were all very happy when the deal was completed. He knows New Haven and all the steps involved in buying a home. We are very grateful to him and we love our new home.

I had the pleasure of working with Courtney from Seabury Hill and could not have had a better experience! As a first time home-buyer, she was very patient and understanding of all of our questions and concerns. She takes the time and does the research to be as informed as possible on all regards. Thanks for an amazing home-buying experience!

Melanie Gunn sold our home located in the Mount Carmel neighborhood of Hamden. She was very patient and supportive with my husband and I for the entire process (listed in June- offer received in September), from helping us with knowing how to get our house ready to be listed to walking us through every step of the negotiations. She made us feel like we were in very capable and reassuring hands. She was very receptive to everything we asked for during the process of showing the house and during negotiations. There are so many stuffy agents out there who don't feel like they have your best interests in mind, Melanie feels like a breath of fresh air in this field. I would highly recommend her if you're looking for an agent who is very professional, patient and caring.

Jack Hill helped me buy my first home and he was an excellent representative. I wanted a historic multi-family that I could live in, but offset the mortgage payment with rental income. He patiently assist me in viewing many homes before I found one that fit my ability and goals. He has deep experience with homes in the New Haven area and that was helpful as we navigated the various questions that inevitably come up in the home buying process.

Sharon Mallon

Cathy Hill Conlin sold 2 houses for us within 3 months, and that was in a tough market! She is professional, reliable, and was available and responsive whenever we needed her. She has a great eye for detail in staging, and she is a skilled negotiator who got us better terms than we expected in both sales. Cathy was a pleasure to work with and went far above and beyond what most realtors do to ensure we were satisfied. I highly recommend her for all your real estate needs!

Camila Caballero

Roseann was wonderful to work with! She was kind, helpful, genuine, proactive and well informed throughout the entire process of my out-of-state apartment search. She went above and beyond to move things quickly when I liked an apartment and made me feel like priority in the midst of a busy rental season. Thank you!!!

The key qualities to being a successful realtor are the same as any profession - Be knowledgable, Give 110%, Strong Communication Skills and Truly love what you do. - Jack is the gold standard example of this. I tried five other realtors before I was lucky enough to find Jack. He is the only one that went the extra mile and cared enough to listen to my concerns, give me his honest opinion without any fluff, and do what needed to be done to sell my home (in record time in a tough market). When someone really loves their job it shines through in everything they do and I just can't speak highly enough about Jack in this regard. Not one other realtor made the house look so spectacular for showings. No one else was willing to be there for me and quickly return my calls. I can't say enough good things about Jack's character and his professional work ethic. Thank you Jack for a all-star job

We worked with Melanie Gunn at Seabury Hill to purchase our first home and we had a phenomenal experience! Melanie took care of our every need from start to finish. She was attentive, responsive, and understanding. As first-time homebuyers, we were very cautious and had tons of questions about the process. Melanie took the time to explain everything to us in a way that made us feel reassured and well taken care of. Whenever possible, she gave us options about how to proceed and explained each of them. We ended up having a phenomenal home-buying experience and got a great deal. I recommend Melanie to everyone who is looking to rent or buy!

Working with Seabury Hill Realtors proved to be a complete waste of time. Sarah Beth is incompetent at her job and only returned my calls after I contacted her boss Jack. I contacted her on Tuesday and she responded with a text message stating that she "left her phone in a rental apartment and was not able to get it." That should've been my first warning sign, if she is that careless and has no regards for current tenants, working with a future client isn't something she can manage very well. Wednesday I got another text asking if I was interested in seeing a one bedroom apartment, when I specifically requested a 2 bedroom - obviously she wasn't taking any interest in what I needed, because next she recommended I look at the listing on their website and tell her what properties I would like to see. Had she bothered to spend 10 minutes on the phone with me, either by picking up my calls or returning them, I could've told her from day one the properties I was interested in, but turns out the listings on Seabury Hill Realtors' website is not accurate either. Thursday she sends me a listing from another agent that turns out to be completely invalid. Friday was my last full day in town to look for an apartment and that was the second time I had to call Jack and tell him how completely useless Sarah Beth has been in my search, as the owner he apologizes profusely but that doesn't help the fact that I have wasted days with his employee. He then squeezes me in and is able to show me a single property on Lyon Street where the floor of the apartment on the fourth floor is completely slanted. Sarah Beth then contacts me to try and show me some houses on Saturday morning, I reluctantly agree and forgo meeting with any other potential realtors to see some of the other listings on SBR's website. Unfortunately for me, she calls me about a half hour before our first scheduled meeting to let me know that she was unable to give the current tenants enough notice to take me to one of the listings (which could've been avoided if she had returned just one of my phone calls earlier in the week), another one that was on the website as allowing dogs had changed its status to no pets at all, and the third that was listed online was no longer available. That's when I called Jack a third time and told him that Sarah Beth was doing his company a great disservice. Save your time and keep calm by working with another Realtor group.

Courtney Ciesla is a waste of time. I was first shown pictures of an apartment over my budget (and of course I fell in love with it) but had to decline. Then I was shown pictures of an apartment in my budget which I fell for and wanted to put an application on before it could be taken. I was told I could not put an application on an apartment I have not seen, but when I do I'll have priority. So we made an apt for Saturday (originally I wanted to go see apartments on Tuesday but she wasnt available, then wed morning I had last minute availability but she did not return my email until 6:30pm) it is Saturday and she informs me 1 hour before our appointment (15 min before I leave my house) that the apartment has an application on it. It's so annoying to get my newborn ready to be packed into the car and on about an hour drive just to be told last min, the apartment I wanted to secure days before is taken. Such A waste of time. Highly upset.

Jack Hill helped us sold our apartment in New Haven! He gave us many expert tips from the start, giving us a very good idea of how this process will be like. I work in California and my fiancé is very busy with her studies. Jack made this process so smooth and so easy for us. He is very resourceful - found us interior designer and painting company to give the apartment a fresh look. Jack also went out of his way to help us with many little tasks that one will surely encounter in this process. Jack is easily accessible and worked around our schedules. He is also super knowledgeable about the real estate market in New Haven and gave us great advice when accepting offers. Our house found a potential buyer within 2 weeks! We feel so lucky that we found Jack! Would recommend to any sellers in this area!

Roseann helped me find the perfect apartment! She was helpful, sweet, responsive, and so unbelievably patient. I give her all the credit for the apartment as she very much pushed for me and my roommates. She also made the time for viewings, which was so helpful. I would 100% recommend her to anyone trying to find an apartment!

I recently bought my first house, and Jack Hill of Seabury Hill was my realtor. He guided me expertly through the entire process; I can't recommend him highly enough. Jack got a sense very quickly of what I was looking for, and was meticulous about respecting my somewhat limited budget. Each time we viewed a house, Jack pointed out its desirable features as well as its limitations. The market was very dry when I began looking, and far from urging me to purchase something that wasn't quite right, he encouraged me to be patient and to wait for the right property. In the meantime, he gave me excellent advice and contacts for securing a mortgage. When he saw what finally seemed like a good possibility, Jack got me in promptly to view the house. He acted quickly in helping me to submit an offer, and guided me in negotiating an affordable price. He was able to recommend both a home inspector and an attorney in whom I had confidence. Throughout the process, Jack was patient, honest, professional, and extremely responsive. Buying a house is stressful, but for me, working with someone in whom I had confidence made it far less so. I'm very grateful to have had Jack as my realtor!

My fiance and I worked with Melanie Gunn from Seabury Hill Realtors on the purchase of our first home. We had a pleasant experience from start to finish. My fiance and I were both nervous and unsure how the process worked being it our first experience with home buying but Melanie was outstanding. She was beyond helpful with answering any and all our questions and eager to help us find our dream home. Her energy throughout the process was strong and supportive. I never once felt rushed or that we were taking up too much of her time, she truly wanted us to find a home we loved regardless how long it took. We feel blessed to have had such an excellent experience as first time buyers and we owe it to Melanie. We would work with her again and I have recommended her to friends who are looking in the area. Thank you Melanie!

My wife and I were first time buyers, and Jack made things simple. He was always responsive and communicative, and we were able to buy a condo we loved!

Seemed nice at first. tried to call them and tell them I had 4 fully renovated apartments for rent . they said to contact someone else in their company. After speaking to gentlemen he said he would be happy to help. After a day he called back and stated he didn't want to work in that area where my Houses were. I was dumbfounded and belittled . Had to hang up on him after that ignorant comment
