Why a front door matters

An address clients can walk into.

  • Walk-in businessNeighbors, second-home owners and visitors stop in, and every office is staffed 9 to 5 to welcome them.
  • Your listings in the windowStorefront windows on Water Street and on Fishers Island, where people slow down to look.
  • Five places to meet clientsWork and meet clients at any office, across Connecticut, Rhode Island and New York.
  • Local, and visibly soIn markets where people want to know you're truly local, an office on the main street answers the question.

The Shutters & Sails Standard

How it's presented is how it's valued.

From the way a property is photographed to the way an agent is introduced, presentation is part of the service, never an afterthought. It's the standard we hold ourselves to:

A brokerage should feel like a team, not just an office.

Laurie Finan · Founder, Broker & Owner

What we're building for you

Most brokerages give you a desk. We're building you a pipeline.

Established enough to have a track record. Entrepreneurial enough to keep building.Here's what's live, what's launching, and what each one puts in your hands.

  1. Launching spring 2027

    Watch Hill

    Sell where the market is extraordinary.

    We're opening in Watch Hill, building on Seaboard Properties' history there, so you'll have a brand that already belongs in one of New England's most distinctive coastal markets.

    How it works for you
    • A Watch Hill presence for your listings and your buyers
    • Seaboard Properties' reputation and relationships behind you
    • Marketing support for qualifying high-end listings
    Ask Sydney about Watch Hill
  2. Live

    Regional Relocation Center

    Clients who arrive already moving.

    Eastern Connecticut's first designated relocation office welcomes people moving here for Electric Boat, the Sub Base, Pfizer and the hospitals, and connects them with our agents.

    How it works for you
    • Buyers and renters with real timelines, not cold leads
    • Our Relocation Director matches each one to the agent who fits
    • Introductions within 24 hours, while the move is fresh
    Ask Sydney about relocation
  3. Live

    Affinity Program

    Referrals that start at work.

    Local employers are offering their people a no-cost homeownership and relocation benefit through us, and those employees and their families become introductions for our agents.

    How it works for you
    • Introductions from employers we partner with, across the region
    • Buyers and sellers, across town or across the country
    • Clients who arrive already trusting the brokerage
    Ask Sydney about the Affinity Program
  4. Included

    Agent media

    Look like the top agent in town on day one.

    Free in-house videography, discounted photography and brand videos, plus local photography and branded social posts ready to share.

    How it works for you
    • Free in-house videography for you and your listings
    • Discounted professional photography
    • Brand videos that introduce you
    • Professional photography of the towns we serve
    • A Shutters & Sails branded social post library and social content
    Ask Sydney about agent media
  5. In progress

    Agent Resource Center

    Everything you need, one click away.

    One home for marketing materials, forms, logos, email signatures, Zoom backgrounds and more, so you spend your time with clients, not hunting for files.

    How it works for you
    • Marketing materials and templates, ready to brand
    • Forms, logos and email signatures in one place
    • Zoom backgrounds and presentation-ready assets
    Ask Sydney about agent resources
