Sotheby’s International Realty

There is something unique about Litchfield County. This section of Northwest Connecticut offers an extraordinary mix of diverse people who love the land and the picturesque wide open spaces, the sense of history as well as the pleasures of modern life. A sense of community endures in the County's towns and villages, whose main streets retain the charm of another time, but which also enjoy the distinct advantage of accessibility to major cities. In this tranquil countryside, individuals and families can set their own pace, choosing to enjoy the area's fine restaurants, excellent shopping, ample outdoor activities and respected educational institutions.

With all that Litchfield County has to offer, Ira made the decision in 2003 to change what was once a weekend retreat from New York City into a full-time residence in Kent, CT. He has built a life in Litchfield County and become an active member of the community, with a career as a realtor and a business owner. Ira's prior experience was in the fast-paced world of fashion and retail, managing brands such as Gap and Armani. From this background he learned the value of distinctive service and its critical importance to success. Distinctive service means listening to the customer and working passionately and tirelessly to ensure that all angles are covered, not simply reacting to but anticipating the customer's needs. To help ensure a smooth transaction for his clients, Ira devotes a considerable effort prior to showing properties to analyzing a client's requirements. He never loses sight of the importance of bringing people together, negotiating deals and making things happen. Ira is always available to help with market opinions and analysis, as well as with listing or searching for a full-time home, a weekend or seasonal residence or for undeveloped land, and whether his client's vision includes new construction, renovations or conservation. Through his extensive local contacts, Ira is also happy to recommend architects, contractors, decorators, sitters and other providers in the area.

Licensed in both Connecticut and New York, Ira looks forward to working with you.
