Simsbury was incorporated in 1670. A
charming, quintessential New England community, with a rich heritage, it is
scenically located along the banks of the Farmington River.
 Simsbury Town Green and Band Shell
Comprised of four communities; Simsbury Center,
West Simsbury, Weatogue and Tarrifville, Simsbury keeps getting better and
better. This is the town in the valley that already consistently ranks at
the top of all of the state's quality-of-life charts, so getting better is hard
to imagine. Careful planning and development decisions continue to reap big
benefits. Simsbury has more protected open space, an attractive town center,
plenty of history and charm along with numerous recreational options and
cultural attractions. Not only is the Simsbury lifestyle very inviting, but the
school system in Simsbury is excellent as well. Homes here include impressive
neighborhoods of stately traditional homes, elegant contemporary colonials,
inviting condominium communities, upscale over 55 communities, and historic
restorations.

Working With An Agent >Real Estate Agent Representation
Which party in a real estate transaction is represented by the real estate agent--the buyer or the seller? Until recently that question was never asked because the answer was always the same. Traditionally all the marketing professionals involved in real estate transactions were legally and ethically obligated to conduct business on behalf of the seller. They may have aided the buyer in certain situations, but their client was the seller. Today that is not necessarily the case.
In a time of increasing specialization, buyers can be represented by a real estate agent who functions solely as a buyer's broker. In this case, the sales professional helps the buyer locate a home, negotiate the price, and is responsible to the buyer only, for an agreed-upon fee or a percentage commission.
In any real estate transaction you have the right to know which party the real estate agent is representing.
