I bring a unique perspective to real estate that combines local expertise with extensive business, investment and marketing experience. Having lived in Fairfield County for 20 years and invested in real estate myself, I understand both the emotional and financial aspects of home buying. My background in financial advising on Wall Street and running successful businesses has honed my negotiation skills and marketing abilities. I utilize my background with the Higgins Group, a leader in Fairfield County's real estate market for 25 years, to help my clients achieve success.
I would be privileged to utilize my diverse expertise to help you find your perfect home or achieve the best possible outcome in your next propety sale.
My passion for real estate extends beyond my professional life. I enjoy following real estate and building trends, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, golfing and exploring the outdoors.

Purchasing a home is an emotional rollercoaster filled with excitement, stress, and new adventures. Regardless of whether you’re an experienced buyer, an astute property investor, or stepping into the market for the first time, it’s clear that buying a home is not something you do every day, or take lightly. Therefore, securing expert guidance at every stage of this journey is vital.
Buying a home has indeed become a significant investment opportunity, and there are several reasons for this trend. Let's explore why purchasing a property has evolved into more than just securing a place to live:
When buying a home, it's crucial to consider both its immediate purpose and its long-term investment potential. Whether you're looking for a permanent residence, an investment property, or a second home, keeping an eye on resale value is essential.
Over the past 25 years, average home prices have risen substantially1.This trend has turned many homeowners into unintentional investors, as their properties have gained significant value over time.
Land has become an increasingly scarce resource, especially in and around major cities and cultural hubs1. This scarcity drives up property values, making real estate a potentially lucrative investment.
Housing is typically considered a stable investment, offering good rates of return1. Unlike more volatile investments, real estate tends to appreciate steadily over time, providing a sense of financial security.
Mortgage payments contribute to building equity in your property1. This equity can be leveraged for other financial opportunities, such as home equity loans or lines of credit for renovations or other investments.
Demographics and immigration patterns have always been major factors influencing investment opportunities in real estate1. Population growth and shifts can significantly impact housing demand and property values.
To make the most of your home as an investment:
By approaching home buying with both personal needs and investment potential in mind, you can make a decision that serves your immediate housing requirements while also positioning yourself for potential financial gains in the future.
The phrase “location, location, location” highlights that a property's value is primarily determined by its geographical position. Key reasons include:
In essence, the right location can significantly enhance a property's worth and appeal.
Regardless of your background, situation, or motivation for purchasing a home, obtaining a loan pre-qualification is a crucial first step before embarking on your house hunt. It's essential to understand current interest rates, secure approval, and identify potential obstacles prior to seriously considering a purchase.During the pre-approval procedure, you'll consult with a lender who will, with your permission, evaluate your present financial status and credit record. This assessment will determine the loan amount you're eligible for and the interest rate you can expect to receive.
