What People Are Saying
The best client service, the best local expertise, the best market intelligence
Knowledgeable
Karla was our agent when we bought our house in Ridgefield, and we used her again years later when we sold our house. When we moved to Ridgefield she not only showed us houses, but gave us incredible insight into the town. She was personable, knowledgeable and responsive. When we sold she was spot on with pricing, and we had many offers above asking. Karla also works with the best lawyer, stager and inspector. She is the best in the biz and a pleasure to work with!
Comfortable
I would not hesitate to recommend the Karla Murtaugh Homes Team to family and friends. I truly could not recommend them more highly.
My husband and I have known Karla for nearly 25 years, during which time we have bought and sold four different homes with her. These transactions included several properties in Ridgefield, two in Wilton, and our most recent home in Redding, Connecticut.
Throughout the entire process of buying and selling, Karla always made us feel comfortable. We knew we were being treated fairly and that she represented all parties with respect and integrity. Most importantly, there were no surprises once we moved in, which is often one of the biggest fears when purchasing a home. Her staff, and especially Sally, went out of their way to ensure our questions were answered and our concerns were addressed.

Trustworthy
Karla has been our go-to broker for years, and we truly wouldn’t use anyone else. Selling our home and finding the perfect new one where we wanted to be was such a smooth, refreshing experience.
We’ve known her for over 20 years, going back to her time on our PTA Board, and she’s always been dedicated, trustworthy, and genuinely caring. So many of us continue to work with her for a reason — she’s simply the best!
Professionalism
We had the absolute pleasure of working with Karla for nearly two years while searching for a home in Ridgefield, and we truly couldn’t have asked for a better agent. In a smaller, competitive market, finding the right home can be challenging, but Karla approached every step with incredible patience, professionalism, and unwavering positivity. We were very selective, and she never once pressured us—only offered thoughtful guidance and genuine support as we waited for the right fit. Her integrity, dedication, and kindness set her apart. We can’t say enough wonderful things about Karla and loved working with her. When the time comes to buy or sell again, there is no question that we will work with her again.
Invaluable
Working with Sally and Karla was a wonderful experience. They have excellent knowledge of the area and the local market, which was invaluable as we were moving from out-of-state. They helped guide us to the right community based on our goals, as well as best geographic location for our commute. After a few showings they understood exactly what type of home we were looking for– even though we didn’t ourselves– and were able to narrow our search to properties that were a great fit. The transaction when smoothly, from offer to closing. We would highly recommend working with Sally and Karla!
Professional
We had a quick relocation from southern California to Connecticut and with Karla’s expert assistance it was problem and worry free. Karla was quick to assess our needs and personalities and introduced us to a range of properties. Her insights directed us to the home we purchased on just a second round with her! Karla continues to field our inquiries on a whole range of issues ranging from recommended contractors and service providers to assuring us Spring will arrive in Connecticut! Karla was a joy to work with and consider her an expert professional and a good friend!
Experienced
We recently bought a lovely home in North Salem with the guidance and support of our realtor, Sally Walter. What a pleasure to work with her! She is reliable, conscientious, and thorough with a work ethic that is sometimes hard to come by nowadays. Ms. Walter is a competent and experienced professional with a gracious personality! We would recommend her without reservation to anyone buying a house.
Unparalleled
Karla Murtaugh is the personal trainer of realtors, making each client feel as if they were if not her only client, certainly her most important one. What sets her apart is the unparalleled level of energy and enthusiasm she commits to each and every project. Drawing upon years of marketing experience and a thorough understanding of the area neighborhoods, she is always at the ready with sage advice and insights. And while her dedication to her field allows her to maximize every property’s potential, it is her innate integrity and professionalism that make her such an extraordinary realtor. Karla is truly a pleasure to work with.
Knowledgeable
Jana was an absolute pleasure to work with. She is so warm, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable. She made what can be a very stressful process so much easier for us. She is on the ball and knows what she’s doing. We would absolutely choose to work with her again.
Tireless
I have enjoyed the most pleasant, efficient and effective real estate transaction in my recollection due to the tireless efforts and excellent representation of my position as buyer by Sally Walter of Neumann Real Estate. Despite my initial misgivings about using brokers from the same firm for both the purchaser and seller, I am confident that both parties have been well and honestly represented by Sally Walter and Karla Murtaugh. It is a pleasure to recommend them.
Pleasureable
After months of looking for a home and many failed agents, we finally found Jana- a breathe of fresh air! Jana was extremely helpful, professional and thoughtful. She truly listened to what we wanted in a home and showed us many houses that we over looked. Jana was more than happy to work on weekends, (the only time my husband and I could get up to Ridegfield from NYC) quickly replied to all of our questions and never got annoyed at our ever changing opinions and must have list. Jana’s warm personality and easy going nature made the entire process very pleasurable, even the tedious paperwork portion. Months after moving in, we still look to Jana for advice and are proud to call her a neighbor and friend.
Exceptional
It is not often that a company or individual surpasses all your expectations. Karla is one of those rare and exceptional individuals. From that first phone call to Neumann Real Estate, she has proven herself to be a person who works indefatigably and always with a positive and professional manner. My wife worked closely with Karla during her renovation project. She had this to say: “Karla made this whole experience so enjoyable. She always did what she said she would do, and then some. She was there every inch of the way, offering help and support. I could never have completed this project without her. She was invaluable to me in countless ways. Karla stands out among the rest. Her upbeat and happy personality made working with her a joy. She constantly went above and beyond what is normally expected.” We are immensely grateful to Neumann Real Estate for all this help, and feel very lucky to have met Karla. We are now proud to count her as a valued friend.
Absolute Delight
We had a home in Wilton that was not a traditional New England home which posed a bit of a challenge in a very competitive market. After a year on the market with another firm, a friend recommended Karla who immediately came in and assessed our home’s strengths. Within days, she photographed our home, presented a gorgeous, compelling brochure and repositioned our home resulting in a sale shortly thereafter. Karla also worked magic on the purchase of our current home in Wilton. She is an absolute delight to work with and a marketing and real estate expert.
Detail Oriented
Buying and selling a house can be a challenging process, Karla and Jana went beyond the call of duty to make our deal go through. They are professional and detail oriented, and were here for us every step of the way. Now we are in our dream house and could not be happier! We recommend their team with no reservations.
Extraordinary
We selected Karla as our listing broker based on her extraordinary communication skills. She had our home listed and sold in less then two weeks. It all came down to communication and follow up and Karla is simply the best at both. Currently we are working with Karla to find a new home and we are just as impressed on the buyer end. I have recommended Karla to several of our friends. She is a delight to work with.
Authentic
Besides being personable and authentic, Karla Murtaugh is a diligent professional who is an expert on Ridgefield real estate. I trust her implicitly.
Genuine
Polished, Professional and Genuine. Karla provides the ultimate combination of providing a sharp pencil with a soft touch; she found us the right house that not only fit our budget but our family’s needs.
Perfect Fit
We had a great experience working with Karla. Her knowledge of the town and her quick understanding of our wants and needs was a perfect fit.
Honest
We have known Karla for many years. She has sold one house for us and is currently helping us with the sale of another. She is extremely thorough, hard-working and honest. Whether you are considering buying a property, or selling one, we would not hesitate to recommend her.
