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.
