About

Meet Connor Kostyra

Real Estate Salesperson · RE/MAX Rise

Connor Kostyra is the founder of Connor CT Homes and a local real estate advisor serving buyers and sellers across Connecticut. His approach is built on clear communication, elevated presentation, and deep local perspective — the same standard whether the home is in town or on the water.

Connor is also the owner of Lakeside Watersports on Candlewood Lake, so he knows the region the way the people who live here do: the towns and neighborhoods, the waterfront communities, and the rhythms of the seasons. That local fluency shows up in how he prices, positions, and negotiates for the people he represents — and his lake-area expertise remains one of his strongest niches.
