Helped me buy home • 2026

If you’re looking for a patient, calm realtor who truly listens to what you want in a home, Betsy is the one. We were buying from out of town, and she gave us the space to move at our own pace until the right house came along.Buying a house can feel scary and overwhelming, but Betsy made it manageable. She was never pushy and never tried to steer us toward a property we felt unsure about. She responded quickly to every question, reached out to experts when needed, and encouraged us to keep asking her questions until our concerns were answered, no matter how small the detail. She walked us through each step of the process and made sure we understood what was happening along the way.Most of all, she was a steady, reassuring presence from start to finish. We love our new home and are so grateful we had Betsy to guide us through such a major financial decision. I recommend her wholeheartedly.

Cannot say enough good things about Betsy! She expertly guided us through the entire process of selling my mom's home in a personable and friendly way. She's extremely knowledgeable, and always returns texts or emails in an extremely timely manner. She's the only real estate agent we'll ever need as far as we're concerned!

Outstanding Agent - Trusted Her Twice and Would Again!Working with Betsy Purtell has been an absolute pleasure, and I'm thrilled to share my experience! This is the second time I've had the pleasure of working with Betsy, and she has exceeded my expectations every single time.Betsy first helped me purchase my home back in 2020, and the experience was so positive that when it came time to sell that same home and buy a new one, there was no question who I would call. She guided me through both the selling and buying process with incredible expertise, patience, and professionalism.What sets Betsy apart is her dedication to her clients and her deep knowledge of the market. Working alongside her husband Tom Purtell, who specializes in technology and orchestrated an incredible 3D walkthrough of my property, they make an unbeatable team. Their strategic pricing and cutting-edge marketing approach resulted in my home going under contract within just 48 hours of listing! They truly listen to your needs, provide honest and knowledgeable advice, and work tirelessly to ensure everything goes smoothly. From navigating negotiations to handling all the details along the way, Betsy and Tom made what could have been a stressful process feel manageable and even enjoyable.If you're looking for real estate agents who are trustworthy, experienced, and genuinely care about getting you the best outcome, look no further than Betsy and Tom Purtell at Purtell Realty. They've earned my business twice, and I wouldn't hesitate to work with them again in the future!

Helped me buy home • 2025

I live in California and was shopping for an investment home in CT. This was to fulfill my 1031 exchange - there was alot of time pressure to close on a good property - and I was doing it from a distance. Betsy was my main point of contact — she is very responsive and knowledgable, and is a great communicator. Tom helped view properties and added his knowledge about home construction and he’s also good with tech. They provided me with a Matterport (3D-walkthrough) of the home I purchased which has been so helpful in managing upgrades. They were both a pleasure to work with and plan to use them again for my next property.

Helped me buy and sell homes • East MIDDLETOWN, CT • 2025

Working with Betsy Purtell and Purtell Realty has been an absolute privilege. Over the years we’ve worked with several realtors, and Betsy is by far the best we’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. She is extraordinarily professional, deeply ethical, and struck the perfect balance between listening to our needs and guiding us with confidence.Betsy is both knowledgeable and intuitive, with a remarkable ability to anticipate needs and guide the process. Her insight into the market was spot on, and she positioned our home perfectly to attract the right buyers. She has outstanding relationships with other agents—a critical asset in real estate—and it showed. Every agent we encountered, whether showing our home or meeting us at showings, had nothing but positive things to say about her.Her diligence, organization, and clear communication ensured a smooth transaction from start to finish. Betsy is incredibly responsive, often replying to emails late at night or on weekends, and always advocating for us with persistence and grace. Even in stressful moments, she brought a sense of calm and steady reassurance. She worked tirelessly on our behalf, excelling as both a selling and buying agent.Perhaps most importantly, Betsy brings humanity and heart to her work. She treated us not just as clients, but as people she genuinely cared about, and through this journey, she has become more than our realtor—she has become a friend.If you are buying or selling a home, I cannot recommend Betsy Purtell and Purtell Realty highly enough. She is truly exceptional.

Helped me buy home • mountain Cheshire, CT • 2025

Betsy was so wonderful to work with! My husband and I just bought our first home through her. She was incredibly patient and flexible working with us for >6 months, helping us find a house that fit our needs in a really competitive market. Between her and her husband Tom, they always found the time to show us homes quickly, and she drafted up and sent in offers for us on home we were interested in right away. She has so much insight, was very honest and pointed out potential concerns with properties, and never made us feel pressured to make any decisions. Would absolutely work with her again and would recommend her to anyone without hesitation!

We had an incredible experience working with Betsy!From the very beginning, she was kind, patient, and truly committed to helping us find the right home. Throughout the process, she was honest, never pushy, and always had our best interests at heart. Navigating a competitive seller’s market wasn’t easy - we lost out on a few offers - but Betsy never let us feel discouraged. She stayed positive, proactive, and consistently kept us informed every step of the way. Her communication was excellent, and we always felt supported and in the loop.We’re so grateful for her guidance and couldn’t be happier with the outcome. Highly recommend!
