CT RIVER, DIRECT WATERFRONT HADDAM, CT

Peaceful Retreat

 

Picture yourself here, the owners simple description is that you actually feel like you're living ON the water when you're here.  One of the most peaceful sites I've come across as a Realtor in 20 years.  This re-build of a waterfront cottage was inspired by the traditional charm of New England cottages.  The owners re-built this year round home from the ground up with watchful eyes on craftsmanship and attention to detail, and waterfront living.  Every corner reflects simplicity and comfort.  This adorable cottage feels like a retreat once inside.

Location, Location, Location

 

Located on a quiet road behind Eagle Landing State Park (16 preserved acres), near the historic Swing Bridge, connecting Haddam and East Haddam.  This area is sought after for many reasons.  The birding is so special that Audubon Connecticut and CT DEEP recently announced the establishment of an Important Bird Areas (IBAs) in this part of the Lower CT River Valley.  You'll also be tucked away in your own private home with a front row seat to the most spectacular foliage tour on the shoreline.  Others not so fortunate will board an excursion train on the Essex Stream Train and Riverboat. The Goodspeed Opera House sits northerly across the CT River and has been a major attraction for live plays for over 50 years.

Don't Dilly Dally

It's beginning to look like a new market.  I won't go as far as say a "seller's market" because it is not.  However, the Realtor Community  in the Lower CT River Valley and the Greater Hartford area has seen a lack of inventory over the last 90 days and this means one thing -

homes priced well are going to MOVE QUICKLY.  

As a buyer you need to be prepared and 

take steps to get the house you want.

Top four things to do to be prepared: Take it from me that after hundreds of negotiations the buyers who had the following four items found greater success in the offer and negotiating process than those who didn't .  They were also more likely to be on the winning side if there were multiple offers. 

1.  Get Pre-Qualified.  I don't mean use an "on line" mortgage calculator.  I mean sit down with a mortgage professional.  There are so many factors that can effect your mortgage approval which you should know ahead of making an offer.  This way you can make an offer with confidence. 

2. Understand Buyer Agency.  As a licensed Realtor I am bound by CT State Law & the  National Association of Realtors' Code of Ethics to represent you in the highest form of Agency agreement.  Expect complete professionalism and ethics as I negotiate on your behalf.

3. Be Tech Ready - Must have a smart phone which you can receive email with PDF's and MLS listings.  Also must have a printer/scanner/copier...you will NOT know the value and importance of these tools until you are about to lose out on the house of your dreams because you don't have instant access to your e-mail or because you can't sign and send back important written agreements with you signature. 

4.  Be Honest - as your Buyer Agent I am bound to keep all conversations and personal information private.  I need to know your thoughts, goals, and above all your objections in order to successfully  negotiate on your behalf. Honesty is the best Policy!

Now lets go look at some houses!!!!
