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. Placeholder — expand with how Michael documents this for clients.
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. Placeholder detail.
04 · Offer to closing
Strategy, inspection, attorney coordination and the four to eight weeks that follow. Placeholder — set expectations for a Connecticut closing.
PROPERTY SEARCH
Search is coming. Michael is already here.
A full property search launches later this year. In the meantime, tell him what you’re after — towns, price, must-haves — and he’ll send matches by hand each week, including homes that never reach the public feeds.

RELOCATING
Moving to Connecticut from somewhere else
Placeholder — how Michael supports out-of-state buyers: video walk-throughs, town primers, school and commute orientation, and coordination with attorneys and inspectors before you arrive.
COMMON QUESTIONS
How much should I have saved before we start?
Placeholder answer — open state shown. One or two plain paragraphs, no legal hedging. 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?
Placeholder answer — Michael's role and how buyer representation works 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?
Placeholder answer — typical Connecticut closing timeline. 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.
