Piper is known among her colleagues and clients for her enthusiasm, tireless energy and knowledge of Lower Fairfield County real estate, local businesses and fun things to do with family and friends.
Those who have had the pleasure of working with her say “she brings midwest charm and east-coast savvy” to her fresh approach of doing real estate. Born and raised in Kansas City, she relocated with her family in 1974 to New Canaan, CT where she quickly immersed herself into her new school/academics, sports and even “Walter Schalk” school of dance! She is always eager not to miss a beat and make new friends in the community.
Upon graduating from the University of Kansas with a Bachelor of Science in Journalism/Advertising, Piper moved to New York City where she enjoyed working in Film production, Advertising and for the prestigious commercial real estate firm of W and M Properties. Recognizing her passion for Real Estate, she joined the rental division of Douglas Elliman in 1990 as a licensed agent. Listening at closings with NY Attorneys, she quickly learned the art of negotiation in a tough market when high interest rates and crashing sales prices affected the residential real estate market, no one wanted to invest in Co-Ops, making rentals a high demand/quick turnover commodity. It was the perfect time and opportunity to learn Real Estate in Manhattan! Always capturing what can be achieved in a market, regardless of the challenges, Piper focuses on solutions and opportunities for her clients!
In 1994, she and her family moved to Darien as soon as their 1st born began to walk and the second child was on the way. Here they enjoyed living, working and playing near and around the Five Mile River with their samoyed “Freya!” After a short reprieve as an active mom involved in the community volunteering w/Shakespeare on the Sound, Rowayton Historical Society , Rowayton Parents Exchange, CCNS, as well as Pear Tree Point School and Tokeneke Elementary School; she immersed herself in the community and has gained the inside experience and knowledge to better serve her clients. In 1999, she joined the Lorraine Leonard Team at William Raveis where she learned many skills important to becoming a top producer including: how to successfully negotiate multiple offers; finding investment properties for builders; helping new families relocate to a the area; and helping sellers stage and sell their homes for a quick ROI. She is pleased to announce her most recent affiliation as a member to Team AFA at William Raveis, the #1 Team in Connectcut according to Real Trends’ Annual Report!
