Libby McKinney Tritschler, the 65‑year‑old executive vice president of sales at William Raveis Real Estate, has built a reputation on high‑value transactions and deep community ties in Connecticut’s Southport, Fairfield and Westport markets.
She is known for community ties.
Career Milestones and Signature Transactions
With more than two decades at the firm, Tritschler has overseen sales totaling over $800 million. Her portfolio includes both residential and large‑lot deals that showcase a blend of personal history and professional skill.
She points to two landmark sales. “The first was 66 Beachside Avenue, a 7‑acre parcel on Long Island Sound that had been in my family since the mid‑1800s,” she said. “It was the last of our family’s waterfront land, part of the Bedford estates, and it sold for $16 million.”

The second deal, 260 Willow Street, closed at the start of 2026 for $12 million. Tritschler represented both buyer and seller, the latter having relocated to Italy. “I was honored to oversee everything—from marketing to the final paperwork,” she noted.
She adds that while annual sales targets drive her, the true measure of success is becoming a trusted resource for generations of local families.
Community Engagement and Personal Philosophy
Born and raised in Fairfield County, Tritschler serves on the board of the Pequot Library, the Westport/Weston YMCA, and the Shepherds Mentors program. Her involvement reflects a belief that work extends beyond transactions.
In her view, a broker’s “Everest” is not a number but the confidence families place in them over decades.

From a broader perspective, the blend of market expertise and community service illustrates how local knowledge can shape property values and buyer confidence. When agents are embedded in the neighborhoods they serve, they can anticipate trends that purely data‑driven models might miss, promoting smoother transactions for both sellers and buyers.
Design Preferences and Light‑Hearted Moments
When asked about favorite architects, Tritschler said she admires well‑executed homes more than any single designer. She values designs that respect a home’s integrity, remain timeless, and reflect the occupants’ lifestyle.
She also shared a memorable anecdote: during a showing, she and a client opened the front door to find a teenager on the couch with a three‑foot bong. “Apparently his parents forgot to tell him two things: there was a showing that day, and perhaps not to skip school!” she laughed.
In a recent interview for a broker profile series, Tritschler emphasized that her competitive drive coexists with a commitment to community trust. As she continues to lead the On The Harbor team, her blend of high‑profile sales and local involvement positions her as a notable figure in Connecticut’s real‑estate market.
