Buyers:
  • No "Out-of-Pocket" costs for professional Buyer's representation. Your interests are not protected if you don't have a written Buyer's Rep agreement with an agent showing you homes listed by others (in fact, that's against the law in CT)
  • Start with a short-term Buyer's Rep agreement so we can confirm we like working with each other
  • Searches are tailored to your individual wish list, not just the price range. Greg is proficient at setting up powerful personalized MLS searches which will give you instant notifications for any new listings right in your email inbox
  • Greg knows homes as an award-winning home builder! He can give you professional insight into the condition of a home before making offers and commencing inspections
  • He's your advocate and not afraid to tell you what homes you should NOT buy! Yes, that's right. Greg will talk you down from pursuing some homes if they are not a good match for your needs
  • Great Negotiator. 30 yrs. of getting deals done provides the necessary experience to handle issues that come up and knowledge on how to work through challenges
  • Being an independent broker, Greg works well with all agencies and knows how to get a deal done
  • Being a USAA member for over 3 decades, Greg is happy to provide USAA Buyers with a member reward in return for their service
  • Satisfaction Guaranteed! If you and Greg decide to work together and at any point you become dissatisfied, Greg will terminate the agreement and you owe him nothing
Sellers:
  • Buyers come from 2 source pools - Greg knows how to cater to BOTH sources of Buyers:  Buyer's Agents and Unrepresented Buyers. Greg knows what makes a good Buyer's agent tick and he targets them so they bring their Buyers to your home. Unrepresented Buyers do a lot of shopping on their own and making your home's listing stand out is what Greg does for his Sellers
  • You set the price and the Broker Fees
  • Professional photos are taken and that's important! Photos are the first impressions made on Buyers and if the photos are lacking, it's costing you money AND time
  • Electronic Lockbox is used for your security and tracking of who's been in your home
  • Great Negotiator. 31 yrs. of getting deals done provides the necessary experience to handle issues that come up and knowledge on how to work through challenges.
  • Being an independent broker, Greg works well with all agencies and knows how to get a deal done.
  • Satisfaction Guaranteed! If you and Greg decide to work together and at any point you become dissatisfied, Greg will terminate the agreement and you owe him nothing
