John Frey Maintains Top Producer Status Across Offices

Coldwell Banker

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.

On Wednesday, July 1st, The Brewster Summer Music Series will kick off July 4th weekend with a free concert featuring the return of Bookends Band – back by popular demand after captivating a record-size audience last year.Now celebrating their 50th year together, Bookends Band has been delighting audiences since 1976 with their unique blend of classic favorites, hidden gems and original music. Their approach is refreshingly simple: “great songs – played very, very well.” 



The concert begins at 6:30 p.m. at the gazebo in Southeast Veterans Park, located at the corner of Railroad and Morningthorpe Avenues in Brewster. In the event of inclement weather the performance will be moved indoors, thanks to the generosity of Tom and Jerry's Irish House.

 The Brewster Summer Music Series continues every Wednesday evening through August 5, offering eight weeks of outstanding live music, community engagement, and family-friendly entertainment. Attendees are encouraged to bring lawn chairs or blankets and enjoy food vendors, ice cream trucks, sponsor displays, and the popular 50/50 raffle.

The July 1 concert will also spotlight community organizations Second Chance Foods, Carmel/Brewster Garden Club and Putnam Prevention Council, along with other Community organizations Partners. Concertgoers are encouraged to bring donations of non-perishable food items to support local food recovery efforts and help combat hunger in the community.
