Five years ago, I was exactly where you are now. Scrolling through Zillow at midnight, trying to figure out if Riverside was really that different from Old Greenwich, wondering which neighborhoods would actually feel like home, and questioning whether I'd ever find my people in the suburbs.
The move itself was overwhelming. Every agent I talked to seemed to push me toward the most expensive neighborhoods. Online guides told me about schools and commute times, but not about which coffee shop the locals actually go to, or which neighborhoods feel more like a community versus just a collection of houses.
After I finally found my place in Greenwich, I realized how much I'd learned the hard way, and how much I wished someone had been there to guide me. So I started helping friends, then friends of friends, and now I've helped over 50 families make the same transition.
Here's what makes this different: I'm not a call center. I'm not a big corporate relocation service. I'm just me, someone who's been through it, who lives here, and who genuinely cares about helping you find the right fit. Not the most expensive option, not the trendiest neighborhood, but the place where you'll actually feel at home.
And yes, it's completely free for you. I'm compensated by the agents I refer you to, so you get personalized, one-on-one guidance at zero cost. No pressure, no sales pitch, just honest advice from someone who's been in your shoes.
Like how Riverside feels more like a village, while Old Greenwich has that beach-town energy. Or which streets in Cos Cob have the best block parties. The stuff that only comes from actually living here.
I only work with agents I've personally vetted, people who know the neighborhoods inside-out, not just the listings. Agents who'll tell you if a house is overpriced or if a street has traffic issues you should know about.
I'll be honest about what Greenwich is and what it isn't. The commute reality, the school system nuances, the lifestyle adjustments. No sugar-coating, just the real information you need to make the right decision.
