Mark Pires investigates Connecticut properties, markets, and neighborhoods—turning records, comparables, history, and local insight into a clear real-estate strategy.
For sellers, buyers, investors, developers, and Connecticut businesses.
The brief
Facts first. Strategy second. No canned pitch.
What to expect
Recommendations are grounded in property records, recent comparable sales, condition, location, and neighborhood context.
The investigation accounts for local market behavior, architecture, history, buyer expectations, and the details outsiders miss.
You receive a direct assessment of advantages, risks, and practical actions—not a vague estimate designed only to start a sales call.
The casework
Each investigation connects the numbers to the story—and the story to a real decision.

A focused examination of price history, recent sales, architecture, condition, location, public records, and market position. Built for owners considering a sale and buyers deciding whether a property deserves a closer look.
