Doug Milne is Highly Skilled in Waterfront Property Marketing

The White family owned one of the finest waterfront properties in Connecticut and it had been in the family for over 60 years. It had over 1,000 ft of direct Long Island Sound frontage, a dock and an Island. The house was in need of major repair or reconstruction. The extended family of six adult children located throughout the country conducted a comprehensive search for a Realtor to assist in the strategy and marketing of the property. They talked to six firms, invited three to make presentations, and with the assistance of a major NY Trust and Estates law firm, they selected Doug.

Doug’s extensive experience in waterfront development and his understanding of Land Trust/Conservation issues proved to be most effective. The property was split into two pieces allowing the existing house to remain a separate piece that potentially could have been developed. It was split off and purchased by a neighbor for his private use and protection. The marketing strategy produced 45 showings in 4 days and multiple offers. The final total transaction exceeded price expectations.

Two years later Doug got another call: Mr. White’s 93 year old brother had a 37 acre estate in New Canaan to sell. After months of Doug’s planning and subdivision work, this attractive 10-lot subdivision was able to be sold for approximately $15,000,000.
