Erika Portanova Songer

From the very beginning Erika Portanova Songer was great. She showed us the types of homes we thought we might be interested in and also showed us ones that made us explore other options. She was very understanding and as hard as it is to explain exactly what you're looking for, somehow Erika just got it. This current market has been crazy and it took us a little while to finally find one but when we did we knew it! We found a home that we get to make into our own. Aside from being a realtor, Erika was so kind and friendly. My husband and I would normally have our two little boys with us while looking at homes and she was so accommodating and helpful. It always felt like Erika was someone we could trust and get an honest opinion. We can't thank her enough - a great journey from beginning to end! Would highly recommend Erika and Sotheby's. Erica and Kenny F.

Erika Portanova Songer went way above and beyond to complete the sale of my home. This deal was very unusual, without her highly professional, unending determination to make this a successful sale, it would not have happened. There are not enough words to describe what an incredible realtor she is. Christina Russo

Erika Portanova Songer made the entire process of selling our family home a pleasure. From: Establishing a market price for probate applications, assessing the homes condition and recommending reasonable improvements to enhance salability, offering quality resources to perform home improvements, setting target market introduction date, recommending and assisting with affordable staging for the development of marketing materials, organizing open house, assisting with offer evaluations, working with buyer realtors and more.. All along being easily accessible and wonderfully supportive and always friendly and fun. Can not say enough about the experience of working with Erika. Would certainly work with her again in a minute and would highly recommend her as an experienced professional. Kevin and Kathy Reeves

As first-time home buyers, we needed a realtor to lean on and guide us the right path. Erika’s amazing knowledge and professionalism made the processes seamless. Throughout the process, she was extremely responsive, and always puts her client needs first and speaks on her clients behalf.

Erika was the sole reason buying our first home was a successful and stress-free experience. When first looking at home, we didn’t know what we wanted- Erika helped us by asking us the questions she felt were important and answering all our questions. We were able to secure our dream home in a little over 2 months, due to Erika’s constant availability, flexibility, and willingness. Erika consistently went above and beyond what we expected. We can’t thank her enough. Joe and Brian

I can't say enough wonderful things about working with Erika and William Pitt Sotheby's. Her coaching and tips for getting our house ready to photograph and list our house were priceless, and led to us to an accepted offer on our home in less than 2 days. Then, we found the perfect house and she helped us so much with the move, always available whenever we needed her. We had a LOT of challenges the week of closing including 3 feet of snow falling that week, but she kept me grounded and sane. She even stayed behind on moving day to shovel snow for us for the movers! We were so lucky to have her on our side while selling our home and buying a new home. She is efficient and dedicated, and made the process as simple as possible. We love our new home so much. Thank you Erika and crew, for everything!! Richard A. Alston

Erika was a pleasure to work with from start to finish! As a first time homebuyer, I had countless questions and a lot of thoughts about what I did or didn’t want. Erika was patient, accommodating, and ALWAYS had my best interest in mind. One of my favorite things about working with Erika was the way she explained the process and was honest about everything. I could not be any more excited about recommending Erika! It was a seamless process from start to finish all thanks to her! Jen N.

We have known Erika for over a decade and have worked with her on a few different Real Estate deals. Her work ethic, professionalism, and market knowledge is superb. Erika is full of enthusiasm, very honest, super busy-yet always available, and always goes above and beyond to get the best out of every deal. What I love the most about Erika is that she is a beautiful person in and out as she has always demonstrated to have our best interest in mind, even if it means that a deal is lost. We, like many other people that know her, feel extremely lucky to have met her and built such a strong connection. Looking forward to working with her in the future again.

I DID IT! I SOLD AND BOUGHT A HOUSE! 💪 Selling my house of 10 years due to unpredictable circumstances was challenging enough but then trying to buy a house while the pandemic hit seemed to be an impossible task. I couldn’t have done it without the emotional support from friends and family during this time! And of course, my amazing friend and realtor, Erika Portanova Songer! She went above and beyond with helping me throughout the process and found a PERFECT house before it was even on the market. She even stayed with the movers and cleaned while I closed. I’m looking forward to making new memories with my kids in this house that already feels like home! Onward! 🥂❤️ 🏠 #erikasongerhomes Barbara O.

Erika sold my home. I would definitely recommend her to anyone selling their home; in fact Erika is currently listing my mother’s home. Keith S., Milford

Erika's promptness and follow-through are exceptional. She is a dedicated and knowledgeable professional who thrives in her business. The extra hours she puts in with her clients is tremendous.

Originally, Erika was listed as the agent for a house we were interested in. After viewing a few houses with her, we decided to choose Erika due to her honesty and openness. She made the process a lot of fun too. We would absolutely recommend her to a friend. Jennifer and Andrew F., Newtown

Our experience was very good. Erika had terrific availability and patience. That was very smooth.

Manyul and Elizabeth I., Fairfield

You kept everything on track and immediately obtained answers to any of my questions. I would definitely recommend you to a friend. Dianne R., Monroe

You were very patient with me in explaining the entire purchasing process. Looking at different properties was a pleasant experience. You were willing to put in the time to show me a variety of properties, and your familiarity with the town helped me get a good feel for various neighborhoods. Getting to the accepted offer required a lot of work on your part. You not only did your job, you did the seller’s agent’s job too. You never dropped the ball. I was impressed with your attention to detail and follow-through, and ethical standards. Peggy H., Bridgeport

You were very professional. You were not pushy with us, and really seemed to understand what we were looking for. We never felt like you were simply trying to just sell us a house as fast as possible, but that you genuinely wanted to help us find the ‘right’ house. We were very comfortable working with you through the entire process……You were on top of all the details and extremely helpful in providing resources (such as the inspector and contractors) which were critical to the negotiation process. Patsy and George F., Fairfield

I enjoyed working with Erika as my realtor. She was very professional and most importantly she listened to what I was really looking for in a house, community and town.

Coming from California, we were looking for a relocation specialist who could help us in navigating an unfamiliar town, and help us find the perfect home for our young family. We had one weekend to find our house!…Erika is a high energy, focused and knowledgeable realtor. She had a clear idea of the pros and cons of each property and helped us to prioritize our needs.

By the end of our weekend, we were well oriented and in a position to make an offer. George and Cathy J., Fairfield
