Residential Real Estate Broker Services

The Town of Trumbull, Connecticut is soliciting sealed proposals from licensed real estate brokers for residential real estate broker services tied to the proposed sale of Town-owned Hardy Lane property, with questions due November 17, 2026 and proposals due December 3, 2026 at 2:00 PM ET. Eligibility is restricted to Connecticut-licensed brokers who are members of both the National Association of Realtors and the Connecticut Association of Realtors and who demonstrate at least five years' experience selling commercial and residential real property in Fairfield County.

The property is an 11.4-acre site made up of three parcels known as 16, 19, and 26 Hardy Lane. Proposers may bid on one or more of the properties, and the Town reserves the right to award contracts to multiple brokers. Required services include market analysis, property review, marketing strategy development, MLS listings, local advertising, technical assistance, buyer coordination, offer presentation, and closing assistance. Proposers must hold a valid broker's license, complete an Appraisal 1 Course or equivalent, hold REO Certification or equivalent, and belong to professional listing services.

Compensation is commission-based and paid only upon a completed sale. The initial term is one year, renewable for two additional years at the commission rate stated in the proposal, subject to at least thirty days' written notice and mutual consent. The Town reserves the right to cancel at any time. Pricing must remain firm for one year from the proposal opening date. Selected firms must carry general liability coverage of $1 million combined single limit, plus automobile, umbrella, workers' compensation, and professional liability coverage of $1 million per occurrence.

Proposals will be scored on a 100-point scale considering suitability of the plan, ability to satisfy the scope of services, demonstrated ability to sell real property in Fairfield County, professional qualifications, proposal responsiveness, fee and commission structure, references, company stability, and prior experience with Trumbull. The Town is not obligated to award to the lowest-cost proposer and may reject any or all proposals.
