I help families relocating to the Gold Coast pick the right town, not just the right house.

All 9 Gold Coast Towns. Top 0.05% of agents in Connecticut, 2024.

The relocation families I work with are typically coming from New York, Europe, California, Asia or Australia, often weighing two or three towns, and wondering whether they're even looking at the right ones for their needs. If that's you, the rest of this page is for you. 

 

How I Got Here

Most agents start with sales training. I started with a tool belt and a camera. 

I grew up watching my father run a side hustle — buying, fixing up, and reselling heavy equipment. He'd often clear more on a single deal than he made in a month at his actual job. That's how I learned that finding mispriced assets is a real skill.

 

By my teens I was doing it with cars. By my early twenties, with houses. By my late twenties, I had a remodeling business and was driving what felt like every road in the Gold Coast, writing estimates — in Greenwich, Westport, Darien, New Canaan, learning each town, and ironically the real estate agents, because they were sending me most of the referrals.

 

After I became an agent myself, I started making YouTube videos about everything I knew, that's when things took off. The channel grew into the most-watched real estate channel in the area. People relocating to the Gold Coast started watching the videos, often before they ever set foot in the area.  

 

Two things shape how I work today: a contractor's eye for what a house is actually worth, and the business integrity I learned from my dad, a 5th generation local. I lean on both, every deal.

For Buyers

If you're moving to the Gold Coast

Most of the families I work with are deciding between two or three towns. About half the time, the right town for them is one they haven't seriously looked at yet.

That's the call I want to have with you first.

We'll talk about your family, your work, the kids' ages, what a good Saturday looks like, what your money actually buys here this week. No pitch. No tour itinerary. Just the conversation I'd want if I were the one moving.

If we end up working together after that, here's what you get: a contractor's eye on every walkthrough, the real scoop on every town we look at, and the truth about a house — including when the truth is "don’t buy this one."

One Story

Don't Buy This One

A few years ago, a family relocating from Singapore called me about a house in Westport. Everything looked right on paper — quiet street, solid value, checked all their boxes. But on the walkthrough I noticed neglect that wasn't obvious in the photos — poor workmanship hiding issues, mold, layout problems that were hard to fix, and a suspicion that the agent wasn't telling us the truth.

I dug deeper, and found out the agent was an undisclosed owner, and the home was about to be taken by the bank. The neglect came from years of financial issues and they owed more than it was worth. In summary, I told the client: They can't drop the price enough to make up for the hidden problems that will haunt you for years. To my surprise, they still wanted it, but saw the light after I walked them around and gave them a clearer picture of the issues. The good news is that they ended up with one of the best deals in Westport later that year. 

The point isn't that I'm a hero. It's that the only thing standing between a buyer and a multiple six-figure mistake is an agent willing to say the unpopular thing out loud, and forgo the easy commission. I’ll give you the same forthright guidance if we work together.
