Veteran broker John Frey has been recognized as a top unit and volume producer for the fourth month this year across the Coldwell Banker Ridgefield and Redding offices, continuing a record of success in the local real estate market. A licensed broker since 1987, Frey is ranked among the top 1.5% of real estate agents nationwide according to RealTrends 2026. He previously served as Chairman of the Connecticut Real Estate Commission and has been honored as Ridgefield Realtor of the Year and Ridgefield Citizen of the Year. Throughout his career, he has built a reputation for market expertise, professionalism, and a client-first approach, helping generations of families navigate important real estate decisions. “John’s performance continues to reflect an exceptional level of professionalism, market expertise, and client dedication,” said Joseph Porricelli, Managing Broker for Coldwell Banker Realty Ridgefield-Redding, Newtown, and Southbury. “His consistent results and long-standing reputation in the community set a standard for excellence across our offices.” Frey’s commitment to personalized service continues to earn strong client loyalty and referrals throughout the region. Much of his business comes from repeat clients and personal recommendations, reflecting the trust he has built over nearly four decades in the industry. “Working with John to sell my parents’ home was such a blessing,” said Andrea Donigian. “He made the entire process far less stressful than I ever imagined and provided valuable guidance every step of the way. His network of trusted professionals was an incredible resource whenever we needed assistance preparing the home for sale.” With decades of experience and local market knowledge, Frey continues to help buyers and sellers achieve their real estate goals throughout the region, generating a steady stream of repeat business and referrals from satisfied clients while remaining one of the area's most recognized real estate professionals.

Saugatuck Rowing and Fitness Club

First Folk Sunday is back with Suzanne Sheridan at the mic. On August 2, Sheridan will be joined by Bob Cooper on keyboards and Howard Kesten on percussion to bring you a very special tribute concert to a very special songwriter – Cheryl Wheeler. 
You may not be familiar with Cheryl, but you have probably heard her music. She is very respected as a songwriter by her peers and her songs have been <a href="https://cherylwheeler.com/albums/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">covered</a> by artists as diverse as Peter Paul and Mary, Kenny Loggins, Garth Brooks, Suzy Boggus, Melanie, Bette Midler, Kathy Mattea, and Holly Near. Suzanne Sheridan is taking this opportunity to share her love of Cheryl’s music with you.
What makes Cheryl Wheeler’s music so appealing to so many diverse audiences is her ability to make you cry one minute and laugh hysterically the next. Cheryl's songs are often emotional portraits of people, leaving you with the impression that you know the characters. You find yourself being dragged into the song rather than standing outside and observing. On her CD “Sylvia Hotel” is a song titled “But the Days and Nights Are Long.” The first line of that song is “Life is short but the days and nights are long.” She writes about New England, her neighbors, her surroundings, her time on the road, and most of all about relationships. Then she flips the coin and writes hilarious situation comedies. Suzanne will be singing the comic song "Potato" which is set to the tune of the Mexican Hat Dance. 
All First Folk Sunday concerts are at the Saugatuck Rowing Club at 521 Riverside Avenue in Westport. Doors open at noon and the music starts at 12:30. The venue is handicapped accessible and there is ample parking on the premise and across the street at 518 Riverside Avenue. Tickets are $20 and can be purchased online at the First Folk Sunday website: <a href="https://firstfolksunday.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://firstfolksunday.com</a>. For more information call Rozanne Gates at 203-984-7562.
