John Smolenski
I’m John Smolenski, a Connecticut Realtor® with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices, helping buyers, sellers, and investors across Connecticut. While I serve clients statewide, much of my business is centered in New Haven County, including Wallingford, Meriden, Hamden, Cheshire, and North Haven.
Over the years, I’ve helped clients navigate a wide range of real estate decisions, from first-time home purchases to move-up moves, downsizing, relocations, investment opportunities, and probate or trust related sales. I work with buyers and sellers of both single-family homes and condos, and I focus on making the process clear, informed, and manageable from start to finish.
My business has grown consistently year over year, and my sales volume has doubled in each of the past two years. I was also recognized with the Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Leading Edge Society award, which places me among the top 11% of agents nationwide.
I believe buying or selling a home should not feel overwhelming. My goal is to reduce stress, protect your investment, and help you make smart real estate decisions with confidence. Whether you are buying your first home, selling a property you’ve loved for years, relocating, investing, or planning your next move, I’m committed to guiding you through every step with professionalism, clear communication, and local market knowledge.
What My Clients Are Saying
Thom PadickTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. John helped me sell my mother's house, and a year later we hired him to help us buy a new house. I inherited my mother's home when she passed. It was a 1962 build which had been well maintained but with very few updates. John suggested reasonable and practical updates, which I completed. The home sold in 4 days, and we had more than 10 offers, all over the asking price. It sold for more than $50K over the list/market price. When my wife and I decided to purchase a multi-generational home in CT, while living out of state, John's diligence, persistence, and accommodation to our frequently changing buying criteria resulted in our timely purchase of a beautiful home that met our needs very well. I highly recommend him without reservation. Bill YeagerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. John is a great guy to work with! Highly recommended! David CassidyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. John was very knowledgeable of the local market and specific to my over 55 complex. He made himself available at all times and communicated with me at every turn. It was a pleasure working with John and I will be recommending him to others. I appreciated all his hard work in closing on the sale in a timely manner. crystal heidenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. John is the best. Super helpful and knowledgeable. As the first time homebuyer, he was extremely helpful in guiding me through the process. He helped me locate a lender, an attorney and had resources to assist with locating people for home inspection, water testing, and well inspection. He was always eager to see any property I was interested in with a very little notice. Was able to get me into the house I ultimately purchased before anyone else was able to even see it. Like I said, it’ll be kidding. John is simply the best you couldn’t find a better person to help you find your new home. Ann PrattTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. John is thorough, knowledgeable and was extremely committed to getting the best offers for us. I highly recommend John as a strong, dedicated agent. Kim FunaroTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. John went way above and beyond supporting me through selling my home and buying my new home. He was very knowledgeable about the market and answered all of my questions as we went through many, many homes. He doesn't live close by, but was always willing to drive and meet me even if the house was out in the woods. John does A LOT of behind the scenes work that we will never know, but with all of that said, i was able to see my home to a couple out of state and find my new home! I would highly recommend John to any of my friends and family! *My new home attached Dawn WarnerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jay was always in touch and helped me navigate through a challenging time and market. I had limited time to find a new, affordable home that could accommodate everything my family and I needed. He was always there and supportive. Amazingly, we did it. Thanks, Jay! Jessica GomezTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A year ago, we relocated to Connecticut. We spent months attending open houses, engaging with realtors, and exploring our options. Despite our efforts, we weren't making any progress. One weekend, we visited an open house hosted by John. He stood out as the most genuine and professional realtor we had met during our search. He took the time to truly listen to our aspirations of becoming homeowners. He introduced to Rosie, and the rest is history. John and his team exemplify sincerity and professionalism in this industry. Thank you for supporting and directing us through each stage of our home purchasing experience. MichelleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Deciding to sell our home and relocate was one of the hardest decisions for our family. John was like our guardian angel during this time. He guided us every step of the way—from when to list, how much to list for, to staging, and so much more. He takes the time to explain how the market works. Because we followed his advice, we sold our home in less than a week with multiple offers, and walked away with a higher asking price. We wish we could’ve taken John with us to our new state, but he kindly recommended someone we could trust. John, there's still time to move! We truly appreciate his professionalism, knowledge, and empathy throughout the process. We highly recommend John to anyone looking to sell or buy a home. We wish John and his family the best! - BEVERLY R. | Meriden, CTVerified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
