BUYING IN FAIRFIELD COUNTY
Find the street before you fall for the house.
The right town narrows the search to a handful of homes. Michael starts there, then works inward.

THE PROCESS
Four steps, and none of them start with a listing.
01 · The conversation
Thirty minutes on what your week actually looks like — commute, schools, weekends, how long you plan to stay. Michael leaves with a shortlist of towns rather than a price band.
02 · The shortlist
Two or three towns, with the neighborhoods inside them that fit and the ones that don't.
03 · Seeing homes
Weekday viewings where possible, honest assessments of what will and won't hold value, and early word on homes before they list.
04 · Offer to closing
Strategy, inspection, attorney coordination and the four to eight weeks that follow.
PROPERTY SEARCH
Search every listing. Then talk to someone who knows them.
Every listing in the SmartMLS feed is searchable on this site. Tell Michael what you’re after — towns, price, must-haves — and he’ll send matches by hand each week as well.
COMMON QUESTIONS
How much should I have saved before we start?
Conventional financing in Fairfield County typically requires between five and twenty percent down, plus closing costs that run two to four percent of the purchase price.
Do I need a buyer's agent in Connecticut?
As a buyer's agent Michael represents your interests exclusively: negotiating on your behalf, flagging issues in inspection, and coordinating with the seller's attorney through closing.
How long does a purchase take here?
Most purchases run four to eight weeks from accepted offer to closing, assuming financing is pre-approved and inspection issues are manageable.
Ready when you are.
Thirty minutes, no obligation, and you’ll leave with two or three towns worth a Saturday.
