A Little About Me
I am a full-time Connecticut REALTOR® devoted to helping both sellers and buyers successfully deal with their real estate experience. My primary goal is to provide exceptional customer service (you can always reach me!) combined with honesty, integrity and a commitment to helping clients through a transaction with every "i" dotted and every "t" crossed. My extensive background in both education and information technology translates into providing accurate information every step of the way as well as providing cutting edge internet marketing technology.
I cover cities and towns in both Fairfield County and New Haven County. My 'core' areas are Shelton , Stratford, Trumbull, Bridgeport, Fairfield, Monroe, Newtown, Milford, Orange, Woodbridge, Seymour, Oxford, Ansonia and Derby and many other bordering county towns.
When I list a property, putting it on the MLS and staking a ‘for sale' sign in the ground is only the tip of the marketing iceburg. I let ‘the world' know your house is for sale via various internet marketing strategies. Additionally, my marketing collateral is professional, unique, and absolutely stands out against the competition. I continually keep up with comparables to make sure your property is priced right and will yield the highest dollar. On the buy side, my buyers proclaim I am easy to work with and can always trust me for an honest opinion and due diligence on every property.
I continually read, research, and attend professional seminars and webinars to enhance my knowledge and adapt to a changing market. One of these areas is helping homeowners who are suffering a hardship and may be qualified to do a short sale with their lender. If you find yourself in this situation -- owing more than your house is currently worth and unable to keep up with payments due to a hardship -- do not despair or hide and hope it will go away. It is imperative that you act quickly and find yourself a REALTOR with short sale knowledge. I am a Certified Short Sales Specialist and have a team who will professionally negotiate on your behalf and, if you qualify, release you from your financial worry. Additionally, the realtor's commission will be paid by the lender, not YOU! That is part of the negotiation.
I love being able to help my clients find the perfect home or sell their existing home successfully. I look forward to working with you.

Areas of Expertise
In addition to knowing my market extremely well (I have lived in the same area my entire life) and my son tells me I have a GPS in my head!, I keep up with real estate marketing strategies and internet technologies. I creatively market properties to sell. I do not just list and leave a property to languish. I market and move it! Isn't that what I am hired to do? Remember, too, it's ME you are hiring -- not just the firm I represent. Realtors work independently. Each has his/her own methods.
In addition to helping sellers and buyers in a traditional transaction, I have also developed a short sale team of extremely qualified professionals to help homeowners who are suffering a hardship like job loss or a payment increase. If you are behind in your payments or expect you will be, a short sale may be the answer for you. You must try to avoid foreclosure at all costs! It will wreck your credit among other things. My team may be able to help you and remember -- you do not pay the realtor's commission to sell your home when it is a short sale -- your lender will.

Testimonials
In a market this lousy you sold my mother's home in just two months. Your expert pricing and commission guidance played a big part in our selling at only $9,000 less than asking. We both know that this is a buyer's market and most offers begin with 20% and more below asking price. The property was not exceptional or special in any. You arranged two open houses following through with the second despite two offers received. I think another agent would have cancelled the second showing and spent the weekend with their family instead. You really made us feel you were our exclusive and dedicated agent. You were available and on top of everything throughout the journey. You were responsive to the buyer in all matters and you gently prodded the closing attorneys when it was needed to meet the buyer's schedule. Since this was an estate sale you also faced some familial issues almost heroically, not taking sides, rather taking the lead when necessary by keeping us focused on what was important in this matter, the sale. Thank you Barbara for a job well done! Eric M.
I have a testimonial for you. My husband and I were helped by the wonderful Barbara Altieri. She was great. We were looking for an apt. in the town of Shelton CT and she was the only one to help. We called the real estate company that was taking care of the apt. and never got a call back until 6 days later. By that time Barbara had already showed us the apt and started the process of renting it. I have never worked with sure a wonderful pleasant and kind person like her. She really went above and beyond what she had to help us. Even with the rental agreement she worked out issues that helped us more than she knows. I would like to thank you and your team for having a great person out there making us feel more than just another person. My husband and I will be looking for a house in about 1 to 2 years and we will be using her to help us with this. Thank you again, Marybeth A. p.s. we love our new apt.
We had a great experience working with Barbara when we needed renters for our condo. She is a dedicated, driven professional whose caring and compassionate attitude make her unique and very easy to work with. She is extremely knowledgeable about the real estate business, has great follow-through, high energy, dedication and you know she's working for you. Barbara was in tune with our needs and expectations and gave 150% of her time and effort. In addition, she is very personable, has a great sense of humor and I would (and have) strongly recommended her to anyone looking for the ultimate real estate agent! Sharon C.
