Working Together with You Buying or Selling your Home


For many of us, buying and selling a home ranks among the most impactful financial and life-style decisions.


 It  makes sense to get the best help available to make sure that the process goes as smoothly as it possibly can. We have been helping people with their real estate needs for more than twenty years.  As a team, we also have executive-level general business experience in the insurance, financial services, healthcare and education fields.




Thus, We bring to bear a broad range of experience and relationships on behalf of our clients and their needs. Our goal is to make the complex process of buying or selling a house --which involves significant financial stakes, many legal documents, diverse legal contingencies, specialized inspections, interactions with tradespeople, intricate negotiations and often personal feelings and emotional attachments-- as straightforward as possible given prevailing market conditions.  We have done it hundreds of times and along the way learned many ways of avoiding and overcoming obstacles and problems while developing valuable relationships with other professionals and specialists that will also be involved and contribute. 




Our main geographic area of focus  is the East of the River Greater Hartford Metro area  with particular emphasis on Tolland County and its towns and communities.   


 Working with us as our client and benefiting from our experience and relationships will not cost any more than using an inexperienced, part-time or out of area agent.  Why would anyone want to do that?
