Elaine got the job done on a very complicated transaction. Highly recommend. -R.P.

She went above and beyond in her work to guide us through the entire process of purchasing as first time home buyers. We were moving from another state, so in addition to showing us homes in person, she graciously conducted virtual showings. She never missed an opportunity to give us pertinent information about the property, the market, and the community as we needed a space that would be welcoming for little kids. In addition to being such a great real estate agent, she was also a staunch advocate for our getting our needs met in an intense sellers¿ market. Elaine Abouakar is an amazing real estate agent, and if I had to do it all over again, I would select her all over again. We can¿t wait to refer her to our friends, colleagues and neighbors for buying or selling. Home buying can be stressful, especially when you are purchasing from hundreds of miles away. Working with Elaine made this process work, and we are still so grateful for her expertise, insight, and support. She is amazing!!! So glad that she was our agent!!! -LT & JT, Hartford County, CT

We did not now it was going to be that fast. We appreciate everything she did for us. -J.G.

Elaine had a strategy that did not include any of the gimmicky listing quirks employed by other agents to fuel an already fiery market. Our house was listed on the MLS at a price that was reasonable for all. Within the first three days we had an offer that exceeded our expectations. The buyer's financer was rigid in their demands and expectations. Elaine walked us through every obstacle they proposed without a blink. The closing came through exactly as planned, we are happily in our new home and the buyers are reportedly very happy to raise their family in the home that served us well for the same purpose. -S.R.

At our first meeting she came fully prepared. She is very professional and knowledgeable. Elaine guided us through the entire process, answered all of our questions, calmed our nerves and always made herself available to us. We would highly recommend Elaine Abouakar to anyone looking to buy or sell their home. -J.P., Windsor

When we met for the first time she came well prepared, highly organized, and with a clear plan for marketing. She put her own unique spin on the campaign, which attracted several motivated buyers within the first two days of go-live. She kept me well informed throughout the whole process and it closed out well beyond what I first expected before meeting her, and in far less time than I imagined. Thank you! -J.M., Stamford

She made the process very easy and smooth. Will recommend Elaine Abouakar to friends and family. -E.A., Manchester

They listed to all my needs and was very patient AND answered all my questions and if they didn't have the answered they pointed me into the right direction. I would recommend them to anyone. -A, Enfield

and got us an offer within three days of listing. Friendly, professional, and on top of her game, she also helped us negotiate a great deal on our new home and stayed on top of all aspects of the closing. -K.C., Mansfield Center

A reference from a family member was helpful and allowed us to forego the process of selecting a company/agent Elaine was aware we were first time buyers and unfamiliar with the buying process. Elaine took the time to explain the processes in detail to make sure we understood them. Elaine answered all of our questions along the way so we were comfortable with the home buying process. We greatly appreciated how attentive and responsive Elaine was from when we started through when we closed about three months later. The first time I called Elaine at about 7:30PM, I left a voicemail message and received a call back within ten minutes. Elaine was friendly, helpful and knowledgeable and that first conversation we had ensured me we not only chose the right realtor but also our first home buying experience would go smoothly too. -S., Glastonbury

Very nice person. -S.L., Manchester

Then with the municipal construction and additional hurdles external to the home made the task even harder. Elaine Abouakar ensured the listing highlighted the antique characteristics and the images caught the woodwork character of the home. As potential buyers showed interest, she followed up and assisted in negotiating the best possible sale of my home. Elaine was patient with my questions, providing clear and plain explanations of the process. Selling a home is not something most people do very often, and Elaine helped me understand the nuances and requirements to successfully navigate the complicated process. It is an incredible relief to have sold the house, and I appreciate Elaine's assistance in getting the home into a new owners hands. - E., Wethersfield

As first time home buyers we had endless questions and Elaine took her time with us and made sure all of our questions were answered. She was super responsive and kind throughout the whole process. We could not have asked for a better agent! Thank you so much Elaine for your time and energy spent working with us. She even got me coffee during our early morning closing because she could see on my face that I was fading fast from the endless paperwork :) I would highly recommend Elaine and plan on using her in the future for any real estate needs. - R.B. & K.A., Bristol, CT

She did her best to accommodate our requests . Non pushy and she listen to what we needed. - W.E., Windsor

She took care of everything for beginning to end. I have worked with Elaine in the past on rentals and she was always professional and always had my best interest in mind. - J.O., Manchester

and made looking for a new house just a matter of time. Let see the lady in the office "Ann Knope" who was the dotloop gate keeper, help a lot and then there was Tony who jumped in when help was needed. Everyone was right on and made one of the scariest times in our lives an adventure we will never forget.. She knew when it was too high and when and how much to bid. These are things we knew nothing about and she explain it to us so that we got a better picture of what we were to do. - C.R., Manchester

I felt very comfortable to talk to her. I was able to ask anything during the entire process. Thanks Elaine. - F.S., Manchester, CT

She managed to get us the property we wanted for a better price than we expected. I would highly recommend Elaine Abouakar. - J.P.

We used Elaine to sell our house and to purchase our new home.She listened, she understood, she clarified, and was always available. I highly recommend her, and will most definitely use her again if we ever move. I doubt we will move again though because we just LOVE our new home that Elaine helped us find! - G.B., Bolton

Having to move with 4 kids on my own was a daunting process; thinking of selling and buying together and coordinating everything was overwhelming, but Elaine was always available to us with suggestions, recommendations, words of encouragement and I felt that she truly was on our side. She was looking for the best buyer for us, the best house for the kids and I, and honestly cared. This, above all, was the most important piece of the process. Both the buying and the selling were rather difficult (due to the other people, not Elaine) and through it all, I felt that she was on our team, doing her best for us at all times. Even when she was on vacation or on training in Florida, she was answering texts and coordinating showings. Elaine was a key piece in this very trying and dramatic transition for us and I felt that, because of her, we are in a better place now. She is a remarkable agent. - M.O., Mansfield

After selling my South Windsor home in February - we worked long distance to find my next home in CT while I stayed in FL for several months. Not optimal - but she stuck with it! After looking at many houses in several towns - we found that perfect spot. I couldn't be happier and appreciate her dedication and perseverance. - D.F., West Simsbury

An inherent knack of retention to your spoken words Experience to bring two offers to meet at middle , always assessable returning phone calls from airports as she did a short get away YOU will see and sense the difference in QUALITY - R & G, Manchester & Vernon CT

She listened to what my needs were, taking into consideration what made my house stand out from others. I learned a lot myself from this process and I appreciated all that she did to help me sell my house and get my price. - E.R., Manchester

She was through, easy to work with as she explained the process. She worked very hard to sell my home. - R.V.E.

She is very professional, knowledgeable, prompt and helpful. I am glad I have decided to choose her as my listing agent. I would highly recommend her services to anyone. - E.K., South Windsor

Elaine had been on top of local sales and listing dates and took it upon herself to call me and requested an interview to help me sell my condo now that my previous broker's contract had run out. She was one of three people that I hoped would sell my condo for me as it had been on the marker for 15 months, using two other agents. Elaine sold my condo in two months! She was always there to answer my questions and give me feedback from showings. I highly recommend her as a realtor. Elaine always presented herself with confidence, knowledge, and professionalism. She kept me in the loop on what was happening in reference to the closing and answered all my questions, even if they were repetitive, due to my nervousness about the sale going through. - E.B., Glastonbury

We chose Elaine because we trusted her to do the right things for us. The house sold in 2 days and the closing went smoothly. Both major examples that our trust in Elaine was warranted. Also, during the entire process Elaine gave us constant updates and made sure we did what we needed to do. Elaine was on top of things every step of the way. Always looking out for us, our interests. Elaine was everything we hoped she would be, and more! - R.R., South Windsor

As a first time home buyer it was important to me that she help me understand the process. She took time to explain documentation and the responsiblities of the parties involved. I feel I made a new friend and we had fun on our journey together. Thank you Elaine - B.S., Amston
