Some closings feel especially meaningful, not just because of the result, but because of the long-term vision behind the decision.
From the moment I met my client, it was clear she was not just looking for a home. She was looking for a smarter way to enter the market. After working with several Realtors in the past who never truly understood her goals or guided her strategically, she came to me wanting clarity, direction, and a plan that would serve both her lifestyle and her future.
What made this opportunity so powerful was the structure itself. While technically a condo, this property lives more like a side by side duplex or townhome, offering two distinct units under one ownership. The strategy was simple and incredibly smart. Purchase both units, live in one, and rent the other. By doing so, she is able to offset her mortgage significantly, allowing her to live here for nominal cost, and in some scenarios, nearly rent free, while building long-term equity from day one.
How We Won This Home
When this property became available, we were fully prepared. We toured on the first day of showings and submitted an offer by the end of the open house. But winning this home was not just about speed. It was about strategy.
We positioned the offer with clean, confident terms, a smooth and expedited timeline, and thoughtful details that aligned precisely with what the seller valued most. Every element of the offer was intentional, designed to remove friction, reduce uncertainty, and create a clear path to closing. That level of preparation and execution made the decision easy for the seller and allowed us to secure the property quickly and seamlessly, without drawn out negotiations.
Client Perspective
“Shoshana is so well versed in the area and the market, and I have never experienced anybody with that level of dedication and knowledge. After I’ve been looking for two years, the second I found her, I knew I would find the house I was looking for. She understood exactly what I wanted, and I haven’t had any Realtor as involved in the process or as committed a she was.”
This move also reflects a broader market reality. In Fairfield, 2025 saw 93 condo sales compared to 95 in 2024, yet the total dollar volume of sold condos increased by 2.5 percent. Demand is holding strong, values are rising, and well located, flexible properties like this one continue to perform exceptionally well as both lifestyle homes and income producing assets.
There is nothing more rewarding than truly understanding a client’s needs and guiding them toward an opportunity that changes their financial trajectory. This was an investor forward, first time buyer win, and an exciting first chapter in what will be a very strong real estate portfolio ahead.
