With its proximity to Boston and New York and its unique blend of urban and suburban charm, West Hartford is one of Connecticut's top real estate markets.

That very popularity is what attracted a new brokerage branch by a familiar face from TV: Ryan Serhant of Million Dollar Listing fame. With his latest show, Owning Manhattan, recently greenlit for a second season, Serhant's influence is growing and has reached West Hartford.

Known for his innovative approach to real estate, Ryan Serhant began his own company during the pandemic, founding a brokerage that's quickly expanded across six states. His firm prides itself on a selective approach to hiring agents and a distinctive focus on client care—a refreshing change in a field often focused more on numbers than service.

The local Serhant office is headed by Dawn Gagliardi, who was drawn to Serhant's dynamic way of doing business, his commitment to elevating client service, and his fresh approach to real estate operations. A West Hartford native, Dawn brings a unique blend of local expertise and innovative strategies that could redefine residential and commercial real estate in the area.

“I've watched his shows forever, and I absolutely loved how Ryan Serhant worked and how he serviced his clients. This is such a different brokerage, a different model and way of thinking about the real-estate process that I'm bringing to the Hartford County/Northern Connecticut area."

What sets the Serhant brokerage apart beyond its celebrity founder is its approach to marketing and client engagement, Dawn adds. 

“The Serhant brokerage is highly selective, hiring only true professionals who share the same values, who work extremely hard to bring the next level of client care from start to finish of every contract. We truly provide excellent top-tier service to them.”

Serhant offers unprecedented exposure and marketing prowess that's hard to match. Digital savviness, combined with high-end traditional marketing, ensures properties gain unprecedented exposure and are presented in the best light. “I work with a stager, I work with a photographer and a videographer, I've got contractors and lawn care people that I can bring in if needed. I’m going to make sure that your home looks amazing.”

The West Hartford market continues to pick up pace, driven by declining interest rates and a renewed interest in suburban living, especially as more people look for homes that offer space and comfort in a small, city-like environment with all the amenities West Hartford offers—a vibrant town center, plenty of parks and green spaces, great shopping and dining experiences. Dawn anticipates a busy real estate year ahead, with 2025 predicted to be even more vigorous.

For anyone considering buying or selling in our dynamic market, Dawn offers a wealth of experience as a real estate agent. She understands the local market and the latest marketing strategies, experience that can make all the difference.
