Balestriere Team at William Raveis - Norwalk Realtors

I recently worked with Joe Balestriere for both the purchase of my new home and the sale of my previous property, and the experience was exceptional. On the buying side, Joe truly took the time to understand our specific requirements. Despite a very challenging buyers' market, he never tried to rush a sale—a refreshing change from past experiences I’ve had with other agents. He also went above and beyond by leveraging his professional network to recommend high-quality contractors for the updates we wanted to complete on the new house. Regarding the sale of our existing home, Joe’s high volume in the region gives him a real-time pulse on the market. This expertise was invaluable for setting our expectations and identifying specific repairs that would maximize our sale price. He managed th

Joe was instrumental in helping us sell our home, and we couldn’t recommend him highly enough. He brings a rare combination of confidence and approachability that immediately puts you at ease. From day one, he demonstrated deep knowledge of the market and a clear, well-considered strategy tailored to our needs. His communication was direct, honest, and refreshingly realistic—he never over-promised or tried to inflate expectations just to win the listing. What stood out most was his responsiveness and consistency. Joe was always available, highly responsive, and proactive at every stage of the process. He took the time to genuinely listen, understood our priorities, and aligned his approach accordingly. There were no surprises, no false assurances—just sound advice, strong execution, and a

Joe and his team helped us navigate a stressful and competitive market. Joe was very attentive and showed us listings that aligned with what we were looking for, he set expectations when deciding and placing bids. We felt heard and very comfortable with Joe and the whole William Ravis team. It made what is a huge first purchase for us straightforward and we found a home we are thrilled with. Very grateful to Joe and team!!

The Balestriere Team is the BEST, ever, realtor I have met; myself a RE agent in 2013 and owner of multiple properties yet I would bow to Joe. Professional, persistent and patient, tactical but respectful and highly responsible...words pale in comparison to his team action. One solid example in 2025: tenant moved out at the end of lease on 5/30, my condo sell was signed contract on 6/4! In between the few weeks of late May and beginning of June Joe managed an amazing efficient round of several shows. And a result of two happy endings on both sides of the smooth and swift transaction - oh his recommended lawyer is a gem, too. Entrusted to Joe, I'm convinced either a homeowner or seeker would achieve outstanding goal!!

I have used Joe twice to sell properties. He is very professional and thorough. He explains in detail what is to be expected throughout the process. Each time, we had offers within a week of our properties being shown. I am grateful for his services because both properties sold for thousands more than the asking price. Izora & Mack Ebron Jr.
