Ingrid sets the standard by which I measure all realtors. I bought and sold a house through Ingrid. She knows her local market. This means she knows the value of a property, whether you are the buyer or the seller. She is a great negotiator; you want her on your side of the transaction. She knows how to handle sticky contracts plus difficult buyers or sellers. She is full service; she can point you to a good mortgage broker, home inspector, and local home contractors. Ingrid truly cares about client satisfaction and building long term client relationships. You want experience, market knowledge, professionalism and honesty in your realtor? Then call Ingrid.
Ingrid helped to sell my home a few months ago after I received her name from a friend. I cannot say enough good things about Ingrid. She met us several months before the home went on the market and it was immediately apparent that she was knowledgeable about real estate, the surrounding area, and how to properly sell a home quickly in the busiest real estate season. After we signed the paperwork with Ingrid to sell the house, she became even more involved, recommending a slew of individuals that we needed to get the house to market. She was not wrong about anyone; everyone she recommended was also reliable and fair. Ingrid went above and beyond what would normally be expected for a real estate broker, which was especially appreciated as we were out of state and unable to attend to many of the details needed as the house went on the market and after it was under contract.

Ingrid went above and beyond what would normally be expected for a real estate broker, which was especially appreciated as we were out of state and unable to attend to many of the details needed as the house went on the market and after it was under contract. Ingrid's recommendations on the market analysis of the property were spot on; we had multiple offers within a week of listing the home, and we were very pleased with the final selling price. Ingrid oversaw the selling and closing process very efficiently after the house went under contract. In summary, I would not hesitate to recommend Ingrid to anyone who needs a real estate agent for buying and/or selling. She is knowledgeable, reliable, friendly, and excellent at her job. It is easy to see why she has been in the business for so long; her reputation, experience and personality are amazing!
Ingrid Hess is a stellar broker and individual. She brokered the sale of our mother's home, always maintaining a vision of not only our mother's best interest but also of the buyers' best interest. By following her expert advice, the house was transformed and received multiple offers above the asking price during its first weekend on the market. The key to success was following her direction to a T, which sometimes felt counter-intuitive. For example, she wanted the house emptied of all contents before listing it. Disbanding 43 years of multiple generations' accumulation was daunting. Online articles advised to stage the house, so it made sense to show the house with our mom's lovely decor and furnishings. Ingrid was like an Olympic athletic coach who step-by-step persuaded us that to win the gold medal (to be the house everyone wanted), it had to be emptied, painted refreshed. She was r…

The key to success was following her direction to a T, which sometimes felt counter-intuitive. For example, she wanted the house emptied of all contents before listing it. Disbanding 43 years of multiple generations' accumulation was daunting. Online articles advised to stage the house, so it made sense to show the house with our mom's lovely decor and furnishings. Ingrid was like an Olympic athletic coach who step-by-step persuaded us that to win the gold medal (to be the house everyone wanted), it had to be emptied, painted refreshed. She was right! Ingrid guided us every step of the way toward that end, making herself available around the clock to answer questions. The painting contractor she recommended and the real estate photographer she engaged made the house look gorgeous. Her property description for the MLS listing was brilliantly insightful and compelling. She listened to our input. She recommended an affordable and effective real estate attorney who smoothly completed the transaction. Working with Ingrid has been a joyful, deeply satisfying experience. She made it fun. Our mother couldn’t be happier!
I enthusiastically endorse Real Estate Agent Ingrid Hess. She's a real pro, not only with marketing/sales but she was also invaluable in helping me prepare my home for the market. She even found me contractors to do the work. She followed through every step from renovation/staging to the closing. Darien is is specialized market and Ingrid knows the town inside and out and what today's sophisticated buyers are looking for. I initially called Ingrid because of her excellent reputation and after our initial consultation, I knew she was the agent for me. Her positive energy, can-do know-how, and straight honest talk were invaluable. She always returned my calls and when Ingrid said, Don't worry, I've got this. I knew she did. Selling a home, esp. in today's uncertain market is stressful, Ingrid turned the process into a very positive experience, with a great outcome!
