Sales Comparison for Neighboring Towns in Fairfield County Fairfield County is a popular place to live. We are close to New York City, and we offer residents a unique choice of towns. From a distance they may seem the same, but there are different feels to each town. Fairfield County cannot only relay on New York as a selling point. Many towns have wonderful programs, arts, shopping, sports, and outside recreation to draw in potential residents.
If you are selling your home and you owe more on the property than you will make at the end of the sale or your property is not worth what it once was- you may have a short sale. Once the lender agrees to work with you - then can sell your house as a short sale. A short sale is a better alternative to a foreclosure. Both parties benefit, the seller avoids a foreclosure on their credit report and the lender can avoid excessive fees in connection with (7 comments)

We seem to have a changed market nowadays - as of the first weekend in January, I felt the shift in Fairfield County in CT. I had "desperate" buyers, and very few sellers ready to list. Open Houses were jammed, and offers were flying! Do you have tons of listings or tons of buyers? Do you remember the days when sellers had to beg you to find a buyer for them? And you had to give up everything but the kitchen sink in concessions (7 comments)

Well, this morning we boarded our flight to Bozeman, Montana to see my daughter Wendy and her husband Dave for 8 days, and, of course, everyone was so helpful that I neglected to grab my computer or book out of my carryon bag. It ended up in an overhead three rows behind us, and had to be turned sideways to fit—so now other folk’s things were piled in front. By the time I sat down, I realized I had two and a half hours with no book or computer, and both my seat mates had great books they were already (0 comments)
fairfield county: When a Form Contract is Bad Form
- 02/16/09 09:12 AM

An unread legal document – or a poorly understood one – spells trouble for everyone. Witness the recent Hartford Superior Court case involving a form purchase and sale agreement with an ‘as is’ (0 comments)
fairfield county: Putting the REAL into Real Estate
- 12/30/08 12:16 PM
I've lived in Fairfield County for most of my life, and in Wilton for over 35 years, and am able to bring real local knowledge to those looking to move into or out of the area. One of the things I love about being a realtor is helping families meet their needs: be it selling their house or finding a home that is just right for them. Mostly, that’s what being a realtor is all about: matching people with homes. But sometimes, as realtors, we get – or create – the opportunity to do something more. To give back. To make (4 comments)
