Pricing
A rent the market will pay
Set from what has actually leased nearby, not from the highest number on a listing site. Reviewed by the broker before it goes live.
Rentals
Renting, done the way buying is done.
A real search instead of one listing site, a lease you understand before you sign, and a person who answers. For owners, a tenant who was actually screened.
For renters
We run the search. Anywhere in Connecticut.
Budget, dates, what you need and what you will not live without. We search every source, not one website, set up the tours, and tell you what we noticed in each unit.
Application, ready in advance
ID, proof of income, references, in one package you can send the moment you find the place. In a tight market the prepared renter wins.
Lease review before you sign
Term, renewal and notice, how the deposit is held, utilities, and the rules on pets, guests and leaving early. In plain language, line by line.
Move-in documentation
Photograph every room and every existing mark before the first box comes in. We remind you, because it is the thing people forget and regret.
Renting now, buying later
If ownership is the plan, we note your lease end and start purchase planning six to nine months ahead: pre-approval, down payment, and the search.
For owners
A unit leased, not just listed.
Marketing
Photos, listing, showings
Professional photos, a listing on SmartMLS and the rental portals renters use, and showings handled so you are not meeting strangers at the door.
Screening
Applications, verified
Income, credit, rental history and references checked consistently and lawfully for every applicant, then summarized so you can decide.
Lease
A Connecticut lease, done right
A compliant lease, the required disclosures, and the security deposit handled the way state law requires. The file is tracked like a sale.
Fair housing
Every applicant, the same way
Federal and Connecticut fair housing law applies to rentals exactly as it does to sales. We follow it, and we help owners stay on the right side of it.
Investors
Thinking of buying a rental?
Two- and three-family homes are a Connecticut specialty. We check the numbers before you fall for the building.
