Fairfield and Westport CT Real Estate Guide

Local insights on buying, selling, and living in Fairfield County

🏖 Due Diligence Wins the Deal! 🏖

by 4 Comments

Big news from Fairfield Beach! My client just scored a double beach parcel — perfect for building a dream home to rent to students and summer vacationers. 🏡☀️

Here’s the twist: During due diligence, I confirmed that only ONE home could be built because one parcel was landlocked with no street access. Another buyer made a much higher offer, thinking they could put TWO homes on the property… and lost out.

Because we researched the state and local zoning regulations, my client avoided a costly mistake and secured the property at the right price.

✅ Moral of the story: In a competitive beach market, the highest offer doesn’t always win — sometimes the smartest one does. An experienced local agent will guide you through due diligence, protect your investment, and help you use the facts to negotiate the best deal. Here’s another success story of how my clients won the bid!

✅ Added Bonus: This purchase is Part 2 of my client’s beach investment strategy. He simultaneously secured this double beach parcel along with the former “Ice Cream Shop” cottage across the street. This move added two key assets to the cottage- beach access and parking. These are two huge perks that escalate the value of the cottage that formerly had only one small parking space and no beach access!
