Six situations. One advisor. A clear process.
Every Greenwich buyer and seller fits one of the situations below. Find yours for the specific process, not a generic pitch.
Greenwich buyer representation
For buyers choosing a Greenwich neighborhood and a home.
- Neighborhood mapping. Your commute, land and water priorities matched to the parts of Greenwich that fit.
- Search strategy. A short list of streets and property types, with the tradeoffs stated plainly.
- Offer strategy. Comparable sales, contingencies and terms built for the specific property.
- Diligence coordination. Inspections, flood and insurance review, survey and utilities, scheduled around your timeline.
- Closing coordination. Attorney, lender and title kept on one calendar to the closing table.
Seller strategy and pricing
For owners thinking about selling in three to eighteen months.
- Confidential pricing review. A property-specific opinion with dated comparables and adjustments shown.
- Renovate or not. An honest comparison of renovating, light updating and selling as-is.
- Buyer pool definition. Who will realistically buy and where they will look.
- Marketing approach. Public, private or combined, with the tradeoffs explained.
- Negotiation and closing. Terms beyond headline price, managed through the closing.
NYC and out-of-state relocation
For buyers moving to Greenwich from New York City or elsewhere.
- Commute and lifestyle mapping. Train and drive times matched to your real schedule.
- Compressed touring. One or two efficient trips, a short list of homes.
- Connecticut process guidance. Attorney, inspection, timeline and tax questions explained for out-of-state buyers.
- Two-transaction coordination. If you are selling a New York co-op or condo, a plan that keeps both closings aligned.
- Local introductions. Connecticut attorney, inspector and lender referrals.
Waterfront, estate and luxury advisory
For high-end and unusual properties.
- Sub-market positioning. Shoreline, walkable, mid-country or backcountry, and who buys each.
- Specialty diligence. Flood, shoreline structures, wells, septic, systems and permits.
- Financing and appraisal planning. Jumbo pre-approval and gap strategy before you offer.
- Carrying-cost modeling. Taxes, insurance, grounds and operating costs over several years.
- Discretion. Careful handling of information and clear explanation of public versus private marketing.
Sell and buy coordination
For owners moving within Greenwich or from elsewhere into it.
- Sequencing. List first, buy first or contingent, based on equity and inventory.
- Contingency positioning. How to make a contingent offer competitive.
- Bridge options. A look at bridge financing, rent-backs and extended closings.
- Calendar alignment. Two closings coordinated so you are not carrying two mortgages longer than planned.
- Attorney coordination. Both sides' attorneys working from the same timeline.
Referral coordination
For agents, attorneys, advisors and relocation professionals sending clients to Greenwich.
- Clear handoff. A prompt call with you and the client to understand the goal.
- Regular updates. You stay informed on the client's progress.
- Documented terms. Referral arrangements are agreed in writing and disclosed as required by law.
- Respect for the relationship. Peter works to make you look good to your client.
