About Me About Me

Business Philosophy

Highly intuitive when it comes to identifying customer's needs, I pursue the most efficient, timely and expert course to fulfill a buyer's or seller's particular demands, all the while protecting the client's needs and maintaining the highest ethical standards. I strive to exceed customer's expectations through every step of the buying and selling process. As an Accredited Buyers Representative, I work diligently to match buyers with the perfect home, providing helpful guidance along the way. For sellers, I bring excellent marketing skills to manage their listing, as well as a creative flair for showcasing their home in the best possible light. Maintaining an open line of communication with my clientele at every step throughout the real estate process, I believe that excellent service means accessibility, responsiveness and integrity, as well as enthusiasm and humor.

Experience

Originally from Seattle, with a BA from the University of Washington, I lived for many years in New York City, working in theater and television. Then I turned my talents - and love of houses and home design - to real estate, working with a major Manhattan real estate firm. Many years ago, while cruising on our sailboat, my husband and I discovered the Old Saybrook/Essex Shoreline area, which has been called the "Second Gold Coast of Connecticut" by the NY Times. We thought we had found a slice of heaven right here on earth! Even our standard poodle, Riley, loves his life here on the Shoreline, with his many canine friends! When we purchased our home, I jumped enthusiastically into the role of assistant contractor for our total house renovation, which gave me a real understanding of home construction. In addition to my other real estate business, I soon became the listing agent for a 450 acre, 84 unit condominium development, for which my team won the Home Builders Association of Connecticut's award for "Best Marketed Mid-Size Community" for the entire state of Connecticut.

Accomplishments and Awards

In addition to the Home Builder's award, I have been recognized on several occasions for being a top selling agent and also for providing outstanding service. Going above and beyond the call of duty for my client s, I feel that their testimonials can say it best for me:

"We want to let you know that we been so very impressed and pleased with her professionalism, business savvy and sensitivity, and would not hesitate to contact her again or to refer her to others. " EP, Essex.

"We were extremely impressed with Sydney. She was very professional, intelligent and well prepared - and immediately responsive to any question we asked. Her enthusiasm and dedication made the entire process a pleasure. I have practiced real estate law for over 35 years and have worked with many realtors. Sydney was the best!" PT, Essex

Testimonials (19)

In your question soliciting feedback, you mention both excellence and exceptional as expectations of service support by representatives of your company. If that is the case, you have exceeded those expectations with the extraordinary engagement of Sydney Anderson in the professional representation of her clients. Sydney assisted us in finding our home when we relocated to Connecticut and most recently represented us in selling it as my work took us to another region of the country. Frankly, it is rare in these situations that you can truly say that a professional exceeded your expectations one, but to have that repeated a few years later and consistently exceed them a second time is somewhat of an anomaly. When Sydney signs on to team with you in either buying or selling, she does it with a fierce dedication to not being a mediocre partner, but she is 101% on your team. She educates you; she guides you; she laughs with you; she will hold your hand and fiercely and professionally defend you. You never have a reason at all to doubt that she is not in your corner....as she is out front, leading the way. Her values of credibility, loyalty and her unwavering ethics help you be able to lie your head down and sleep at night, knowing that she has your back in helping you find your perfect home or at times when you have to sell that perfect home and you truly want the sale to be completed and the buyer to know it's as perfect as you do. Sydney is not just a realtor. She becomes a friend, a valued friend that you can count on. She is one of those people in life that you choose to be a part of your family in representing your family's needs in real estate. As to your question, she was excellent and exceptional and extraordinary and exceed our expectations.... again. Caren Lewis
Sydney was fantastic. Very knowledgeable and helpful. It was a real pleasure to work with her Geoffrey Hampson
I have been working with Sydney over a period of 10 years on four real estate transactions or potential transactions. The reason I keep returning to her for real estate representation is that she is so good at what she does. Sydney takes a sincere interest in each of her representations. She is always on top of everything. As a former real estate attorney, I do not always need Sydney taking care of everything, but she does anyway. In addition to being a great real estate agent, Sydney is bright, extremely knowledgeable, thorough and highly personable. I have recommended Sydney to others. That tells "the whole story".

Working with this agency was a breeze! Would also recommend Sydney Anderson as the best realtor we have ever worked with! Truly paved the way for us and made everything easy as possible with amazing recommendations to settle us into our new community. Caren Lewis
Sydney absolutely could not have paved the way on our purchase any better. She is the consummate professional, but engaging and very intuitive to our needs. She anticipated so many of our questions and delighted us by having the answers or recommendations before we ever asked them. Her years of experience and knowledge about the local "landscape" was incredibly helpful as we made a decision on which house was the one for us. After that decision, she facilitated a smooth path at every juncture she could with the attorney and our lender and then with fabulous recommendations on reputable and reliable businesses and tradesmen for work we needed. If you want someone who is truly arm in arm with you on the journey....it's Sydney....and her awesome sense of humor integrated beautifully into her professional practice doesn't hurt. Many thanks! Amy McWilliams and Caren Lewis

We wanted to let you know how terrific we think Sydney Anderson is and how grateful we are to have found her. She worked tirelessly for almost three years to find us a house.
