The Gold Coast Standard and Darien Real Estate

About Me

I am Karen Brewer of Sotheby’s International Realty in Darien Ct. I have been in the real estate business for 11 years . I am an award winning producer in the Darien Ct office which is on the Gold Coast of Ct,just 40 miles outside New York City.

Speaking of New York City,prior to this, I was a Managing Director at the New York Times newspaper. I worked for the Times for nearly 15 years and retired from as a Managing Director in charge of Classified Advertising Sales and Circulation Customer Service. I am a graduate of Hobart and William Smith Colleges,class of 1977.

My business style emphasizes complete honesty and integrity as well as being knowledgeable and customer focused.What does that mean?

Well, no broker speak, mincing words or being circumspect. I’ll help to find the best home for you and your family,and help you navigate the buying process.  I can help you price your  current home realistically and prepare its interior for presentation to the public.The reaction I get from a lot of people is ”wow,you’re not like a regular real estate agent.” (Its a compliment.) and I invite you to contact me and see for yourself.
My advice is  always straightforward and based on years of experience living and working in the area.

On the personal side, in Darien CT for 26 years. I have been actively involved in various town projects during that time and know the area and neighborhoods as only a long time resident can. I live in Darien with  my husband ,three children, and Brittany Spaniel,Daisy.

I enjoy golf, needlepoint and playing the piano (which I took up when I was forty). I love all things Italian: the country, food, art,EVERYTHING.  Oh, and did I mention Bruce Springsteen.

The goal of this blog is to acquaint would be home buyers and sellers with the realities of the Fairfield County real estate marketplace  in an informal but informative way.I’d love to hear from you about the posted information or any suggestions you might have about future posts. If you need to contact me to see properties or just ask questions about the area,I can be reached at kbrewer@wpsir.com or 203-554-0951. No obligation. No kidding.
