Danbury Real Estate Blog

My client lives in Portland, Oregon. He owned a townhome in Danbury,CT that he bought to move in to from New Jersey. He closed on the property in the end of 2016 but never moved in. He ended up leasing to my friends who needed a new home in the winter of 2017. My friends ended up never buying a home around here, after dragging me around off and on, but made sure to do right be me by introducing me to their landlord.

 My seller never had to come to Danbury to do anything in the summer of 2025 when the tenants were moving on. He didn't have to meet the association's worker that needed to get fix an outside vent after the tenants left. He didn't have to meet the vacating tenants to collect the keys after they moved out. He didn't even have to go come to Danbury to sign his closing documents with his attorney. All of my paperwork was available to be digitally signed. 

After years of renting it, several features in his property were starting to show it's age. The home was 16 years old, not much was upgraded when it was built & the owner didn't really invest in much over the years. Many of the units in his neighborhood were updated, and we wanted to perform our diligence. I got him pricing for 3 rooms worth of flooring to replace worn carpeting, a top-to-bottom quote for repainting, pricing to replace builder-grade appliances throughout the property & pricing from my handyman to possibly replace a few light fixtures and perform some general home maintenance tasks.

We laid out all the bids and carefully reviewed the comparable that may have been updated over the years. In this case, listing it as-is with no repairs was our easiest strategy, and price accordingly so the buyer could upon the property they way the wanted. We priced the unit fairly and in 30 days, we had a signed offer, closing 3 weeks after that.

I was always available to meet with him on zoom, sending pictures, taking calls, ensuring the thermostat was set appropriately, bringing in the trash cans to avoid association fines. This was on top of a strong marketing plan to get the property in front of as many buyers as possible.
