Norwalk Advocate:
Founded in 1927 by Cass Wheeler, Wheeler Real Estate is the longest-established realty firm in Darien, with a Post Road office that hosts 55 agents. Not limited to the Darien market, the agency also covers New Canaan, Rowayton and Norwalk. Now, Wheeler has become Halstead Property Wheeler, acquired by Halstead Property, based in New York.
Halstead on Monday announced it had absorbed Country Living and established offices at Two Sound View Drive; Greenwich; The High Ridge Center, 1099 High Ridge Road, Stamford; 183 Elm St., New Canaan; 616 Post Road East, Westport; and 21 River Road, Wilton. These will bear the Halstead Property Country Living moniker.
“Our strategic plan is to move into Fairfield County,” said Diane Ramirez, president of Halstead. “It’s a great growth opportunity for us, since we have a significant number of clients moving in and out. This is the time you look for opportunities. We think long-term.”
“Wheeler has a similar culture to ours, very much a family-like environment with talented, motivated agents,” Ramirez added. “We love their strong brand.”
