Business Philosophy

In your lifetime, very few acquisitions will compete with even a single purchase of real estate, whether it is a residential, commercial or investment opportunity. My clients are better served by the knowledge I have in addition to the resources available through my affiliation with my company.

The acquisition and negotiation process should be determined by and focus upon the client.

Among my peers, I enjoy being an ethical, successful professional. Among my clients I prefer to be an informed, helpful practitioner.
My prior career as a financial advisor affords me a fundamental understanding of the consumer's perspective of real estate.

Sylvia is the agent of choice because she is tirelessly patient, will make sure you stay out of trouble, ensure you are well informed, and communicate very quickly with you. She worked tirelessly to find the right property for me. This included months of property showings (3-5x/week) for a span of 4 months, across several regions. Sylvia also kept me out of trouble. I had entered a contract to purchase, going through the inspection, and decided to back out. Sylvia was a big part of identifying an issue with this property, and helped me back out of a deal I no longer wanted to complete, all with no cost to me in the end. Sylvia will operate at your level of expertise with the property purchase process, while keeping you educated on local laws. She doesn't assume you understand all the local processes, so will bring up all the appropriate details to ensure you are well informed. Lastly, I was impressed with her communication channels as a Gen Y buyer; fluidly moving between phone calls, to text messages, to emails appropriate for whether I was at work or home. Great communication. She helped me close my home here in CT. I would use her as an agent again, and so should you.

Sylvia is a wonderful realtor with whom to work. She is quite knowledgeable about New Haven County; and readily provides useful information about the neighborhoods, school districts, and historical resales. She provides additional tips to help one improve the value of a home and to realize the full potential of living comfortably in a given home. Sylvia is very responsive irrespective of the day of the week or the time of day; and she provides her clients with multiple methods of contact. I have worked with Sylvia twice, and I am looking forward to working with her again for both a future purchase and sale.

I would definitely recommend Sylvia Mitchell as somebody's Realtor because she is very professional, kind and courteous. Whenever I call Sylvia for information, she is right there with the correct answer. When we meet on different properties, she not only is very informative with the property that we are at however, she also comes with information on other properties that she knows I would be interested in. Sylvia has a beautiful personality and her hard working communication and attention to detail skills are nothing but the best. That is a true professional Realtor. I would never hesitate to use Sylvia Mitchell for any and all of my real estate needs.

Sylvia is a top notch real estate agent. She is not just out for a sale, instead she looks out for the buyers best interest and takes her time with you and explaining the home buying process. Sylvia is very knowledgeable in many aspects of the home buying process. The knowledge that she brings to the table is priceless! Also I would note to future home buyers to please use the people that she suggests in the home buying process. Sylvia will not steer you wrong and she will stand by your side every step of the way! Sylvia has gone above and beyond for us on her own personal time. She has done things for us that was not even part of her job scope. You will never find anyone like her. You will be doing a disservice to yourself if you don’t use her as your realtor! She is that good!!!
