Relocation Guide to Fairfield

Fairfield County, Connecticut

Fairfield Beach - Fairfield Connecticut

Fairfield Beach*

Fairfield is a thriving oceanside city with an elegant small-town feel. Its 5-mile shoreline and elegant beachfront homes have always been a draw for those who crave the very best of everything. If you like outdoor excitement, you’ll enjoy Fairfield’s five beautiful beaches. You can sail, swim, play water sports, or simply enjoy the sand and an ocean view. If you prefer dry land, you can spend time hiking, picnicking, or just hanging out at a local park. 

The city caters to your desires for fine dining, entertainment, and exciting shopping opportunities. Local restaurants specialize in oysters, Italian entrees, and a range of casual and fine cuisine. Museums and galleries nurture your creative instincts. Fairfield shops enhance your world with home decor, designer clothing, contemporary jewelry, grand pianos, antiques, and overall luxury living. 

If you’re considering relocating to Fairfield, Brooke Group Real Estate provides services that can make the process easier. Our Agents know the area and understand the market. We’re dedicated to helping you find a perfect place to call home.

The Fairfield Real Estate market offers a showcase of custom villas, luxury estates, and architecturally trendy spaces. You can come home to a secluded tree-lined street, a lush wooded landscape, or a beautiful waterfront view. If you prefer a more modest home, we will help you find a smaller residence with the same attention to location and style.

What to do in Fairfield

Whether you have a family, are interested in Hiking, want to relax at the beach or are all about the restaurant scene: there’s something for everyone in Fairfield!

History of Fairfield CT

Puritans founded Fairfield in 1639, making it one of Connecticut’s oldest towns. Most of the original settlers farmed the land. Even in the town’s earliest days, they sold goods in New York and beyond. Early Fairfield is known for developing the Salt-Box style house in the 1600s.

Fairfield Relocation Checklist

We know that relocating can be tough on you and your family. The process is often overwhelming when moving takes you across the state or across the country. Because you’ll have a hundred little details to take care of, we took one off your plate and created a “Relocation Guide to Fairfield” to help you get started.

1

CONTACT A REAL ESTATE AGENT

Contacting a Real Estate Agent when you first learn that you’ll be relocating to Fairfield CT is crucial. When you contact Brooke Group Real Estate, we take immediate steps to assist you in your search. We assess your home-buying requirements and use our resources to locate compatible properties.

2

SHARE YOUR HOME-BUYING GOALS WITH YOUR AGENT

You probably know what you want even before you begin your search. Once we understand your home buying goals, we focus on looking for specific property types and targeting those that meet your specifications.

3

VISIT BEFORE RELOCATING

You get a better feel for a home when you take a tour. An in-person visit allows you to see important details you might not notice in a print or online ad. We recommend extending your stay for a day or two so you can get a feel for the town and the people who will make up the community.

If you can’t visit before relocating to Fairfield, online listings often provide media presentations. Many include high definition photos, walkthrough videos, or 3D virtual tours. The right media presentation could make you feel confident enough to make a choice without seeing a property in person.

4

HIRE A PROFESSIONAL MOVER

DIY moving is an economical option but it can easily cause “relocation burnout”. Relocating to Fairfield (or anywhere!) may often be stressful. Movers help you reduce that stress. They pack everything, load everything, and drive it to your location. When they arrive at your destination they put everything exactly where you want it.

5

REESTABLISH PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL CONNECTIONS

When relocating to Fairfield, you may need to reestablish your professional & personal connections. Here’s our list of the most commonly required services

6

SELL YOUR CURRENT HOME

Arranging to have your home sold is one of the most difficult things you’ll have to do before relocating to Fairfield. If you’re moving because of a job, you won’t likely have enough time to sell your home. You might not even have enough to get it on the market!

When you contact us about relocating, we can also connect you with one of our associates in your area. You’ll have a Real Estate Professional working with you on both ends to make your home buying and selling go as smoothly as possible.
