Dear Friends, Life happens. A job change, a new baby, a devastating hurricane - sometimes the timing of a housing move is not flexible. And even when a move is discretionary, hitting the absolute top of the market (for sellers) or the lowest price point (for buyers) is impossible. Much like the stock market, every day brings new data, participants and offerings. Those offerings prepped well, priced properly and presented expertly will entice participants at or above the strike price, especially when competition is limited in their category. Every investor evaluates the impact of external factors - interest rates, inflation, recession and more, before buying. Currently, in real estate, these factors are creating some price sensitivity, leading to more discerning and cautious buyers. Yet in our hyper-local market in Fairfield County, demand still exceeds supply. Yes, a house is a significant investment. But as every buyer or seller facing an immediate move knows, there is considerable value in HOME - a place where you are comfortable, at peace and feel you belong. Whatever life throws at you, we are here to help. Maximizing value, while minimizing stress through our experience, knowledge and know-how. |

Sincerely, your real estate partners for life, |

No One Succeeds Alone |

Inspired by his leadership, the KMS Team at Compass was thrilled to visit outside our Westport office with CEO & Founder of Compass, Robert Reffkin. Committed to relationships, Robert constantly nourishes his agents with tools, insight and ideas to help us better serve you, our clients. Impact Day 2022 was a success — we are definitely better together, under the Compass umbrella! |

We are pleased to welcome Lisa Holler to the KMS Team! Coming from Brooklyn, NY where she worked on a large real estate team for the past six years, Lisa's philosophy "of putting the client's needs above my own and being as transparent as possible" fits perfectly with ours.

Fall is here, is your home ready? |
|
Seemingly overnight, the season changed. And while the rains are welcome after a very dry summer, you may be noticing that your gutters aren't keeping up. This is just one of the fall maintenance items all homeowners should address. See more in our blog. |
|
And while the falling leaves need attending, fall foliage makes a perfect backdrop when photographing your home's exteriors. Whether you plan to list your property over the holidays (truly a good idea - read more here) or early next year, the fall light is spectacular. Don't stress, the interiors images can wait — give us a call to discuss! |

Private Exclusives |
|
While nothing beats the reach of the multiple listing service (MLS) for quick, wide exposure, sometimes sellers want or need privacy surrounding the sale of their property. Offering discretion and quality, Compass Private Exclusives provides the flexibility to share details about the seller's property, including price & images, to selective audiences. By tapping into our Compass network of agents (20,000+ strong), your home gets exposure to active buyers across the country, without divulging details to the general public. Using Compass Private Exclusives, our partner Karen Scott just completed a $15+ million sale in Westport. The transaction is Westport's highest priced, non-waterfront sale ever! |
