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.
