"LISTENING to and UNDERSTANDING
YOUR NEEDS is my number one concern!"
Buying or selling your home is a very personal thing and can be demanding and, often times, stressful. That's why it is so important to partner with a real estate agent who understands you and what is important to you. As an openly gay Fairfield County resident and REALTOR®, Chris Rich prides himself on his "personal approach". "Listening to and understanding your needs is my number one concern," he says. "By staying focused on what's important to you and your family, you can be assured that I will meet and exceed your expectations as your REALTOR®.
"In addition to his ability to connect with his real estate clients, Chris brings to them a unique combination of creative marketing talent, cutting-edge technology and excellent customer service. As the former owner of an Internet Web Design and marketing firm, Chris knows how to leverage the power of the Internet in new and exciting ways, to the advantage of both home buyers and sellers.
With his own network of more than 30 targeted real estate websites, including FairfieldCountyRealEstate.com, coupled with top rankings in the major search engines including Yahoo, AOL, Google and MSN, Chris offers his clients an unmatched ability to fulfill their needs.
In his spare time, one of the things that is most important to Chris is giving back to the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community. Through volunteer work and donations, Chris is a proud supporter of both GLAD (Gay & Lesbian Advocates & Defenders) and HRC (Human Rights Campaign). "GLAD and HRC have done so much toward the fight for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender equality. I have no choice but to lend my voice to their mission."
TESTIMONIALS:
"From our first contact with Chris Rich, he asked smart questions and made a genuine effort to understand our needs in a home (and indeed he found us the right one, which we will close on in the coming weeks). By the same token, he made sure that we had a good grasp of the local market in Fairfield County and has assisted us in every step of the process of buying.
Especially helpful to us was the fact that Chris was readily available by email or phone, whenever we had a question. He made the process, which ended up taking many months to locate the right home, a thoroughly enjoyable one, and his optimism and overall good attitude were, frankly, priceless and kept us going when it seemed we might never find what we wanted.
We can't recommend him highly enough, whether you are planning a sale or a purchase of a home; he is truly devoted and quite good at what he does."

"Chris Rich accomplished the impossible: he found me a great condo at a great price and at the same time he was able to handle all my neurotic fears about moving in the first place. I can't recommend him enough."

"When we decided to look for a house in Connecticut, we wanted to work with someone who would understand our particular concerns regarding the community and acceptance. We are so glad we found Chris Rich!
Not only was he knowledgeable about Connecticut and the changing real estate market but he had lots of patience as we figured out where we wanted to live. We never felt pressured and he showed us numerous homes to ensure that we were making the right decision. After we found our home in Roxbury, Chris continued to be very accommodating. He arranged to be at all the inspections and closings and, as we were living in New York, he took numerous photographs of the property for us. We had a great experience working with Chris. He made the process enjoyable and as hassle free as possible. We would definitely work with Chris again!"

"Purchasing your first home is always stressful, purchasing your first home in a new state, as a lesbian couple is even more stressful. Finding Chris Rich made the whole process the exact opposite.
We felt so comfortable with him after our first meeting and formed a great relationship with him. Thanks to his patience and knowledge of the Fairfield and New Haven areas we found the perfect home."

We decided we would move from Westchester County in New York and settle in Stamford back in February, 2006. While doing a search on the web, we located Chris Rich. After spending a Saturday looking at potential homes, we knew we had found not only a realtor, but a friend.
Chris went the extra mile to find homes that would fit our budget, personalities and our lifestyle. Chris knew that we were anxious about the whole home-buying process. He was a calming influence, and showed an immense amount of patience and kindness when we would call regularly to gain updates on the progression of the purchase. Chris is so knowledgeable about the real estate business, and guided us throughout the purchase of our new home.
We are grateful to Chris for his professional guidance and for his friendship. We have already recommended him to friends and will continue to do so without hesitation.

Working with Chris was an unexpected pleasure. When we began the search for our new home, we came across Chris on the internet and never looked back.
His expertise, personality and professionalism made us feel at ease right from the start! Even after the sale, Chris continued to assist us; always with a smile and a quick response. Our dream is to own a Bed and Breakfast in Provincetown and we cannot wait to begin that search; but only with Chris. He better get that Massachussets license soon!
