About Michael Forizs
Michael Forizs has continuously earned industry awards, market share and the nickname Mr. Stratford by his peers and neighbors for the past 19 years for one simple reason: Reputation. He has built his business on his reputation for top-notch communication with clients, a deep knowledge of market trends across multiple Connecticut communities, and a work-ethic known to his peers as both thorough and driven.
Throughout his 19-year career, Michael has become an expert at listing residential property. So much so, that agents from the surrounding areas and even competing agencies seek him out for advice on how to grow their businesses.
'I think the reason I've seen my business grow year after year based almost entirely on referrals is that my clients know I listen to them," said Michael, "and they trust that I understand and can interpret trends in the market to get them top-dollar and meet their needs. For me, I don't sell houses, I build relationships that span generations."
Michael is a familiar friendly face at the local ball fields in and around Stratford where
he lives with his wife and raises his 2 sons.
