Connor Kostyra, Candlewood Lake real estate specialist with RE/MAX Rise
Local knowledge, waterfront perspective

He doesn't just sell the lake — he lives it.

Connor Kostyra is the founder of Connor CT Homes and a local real estate advisor focused on Candlewood Lake and the surrounding Western Connecticut market. His approach is built on clear communication, elevated presentation, and deep local perspective.

Connor is also the owner of Lakeside Watersports — a well-known, highly-rated business on Candlewood Lake. Years of running the company on the water means he knows the lake intimately: the coves and waterfront neighborhoods, the surrounding towns, the boat docks and swim seasons, and the people who come back every summer. When buyers ask about waterfront life, Connor has lived it. When sellers need positioning that speaks to the lake crowd, he knows the audience.
