In a market crowded with big-name franchises and cookie-cutter brokerages, Premier Real Estate Group, based in Southington, stands out by staying small, sharp and focused on what truly matters: relationships, real returns and real service.

Led by Michelle Lorenzetti, a broker with more than 20 years of experience and a powerhouse reputation across the state, Premier has carved out its place as a top-tier boutique firm with a specialty in off-market real estate – all across the state. The firm’s deal flow includes private multifamily and investment listings that rarely, if ever, hit the public market.

Lorenzetti is a known force in the Connecticut real estate world. Not only has she led the charge on high-volume sales – many that are off the books – she’s a strong advocate for women in the industry and a go-to resource for investors statewide. She’s known for the mantra, “Off-market isn’t a magic bullet unless it’s quality.” And that philosophy is baked into everything Premier does.

The company’s secret weapon? Its proprietary blackbook – a cultivated pipeline of investment opportunities that come directly from key contacts who have a confidence level and trust in execution to deliver the best possible results. These deals are vetted carefully and not blasted publicly. Many are multimillion-dollar portfolios or value-add assets with major upside, available only to serious buyers.

Premier’s edge comes from being out in the field every day. “We’re not sitting behind desks – we’re walking properties, talking to owners, solving problems,” Lorenzetti said. The firm’s hands-on approach, paired with keen market insight and innovative deal structuring, has earned it strong favor with investors looking for smart, strategic opportunities.

The team itself brings more than 100 years of combined experience, with many of its broker/agents owning investment properties, portfolios and actively flipping properties regularly themselves. Lorenzetti said, smiling: “We’ve seen it all – and handled it all.” Licensed in both Connecticut and Massachusetts, Premier has regional reach but maintains a personalized, hands-on approach with every client.

More than just sales-driven, Premier is built around doing what’s right – not locking clients into long-term contracts and never forcing deals that don’t make sense. The numbers speak to that integrity: a large share of business comes from loyal repeat clients and referrals who count on the firm to deliver real value and navigate even the most complex deals with precision.

Premier also supports organizations aligned with its values, including investor networks, professional boards and community initiatives that promote housing, ethical investing and economic growth.

In her free time, Lorenzetti cherishes moments with her family and proudly supports her son Mike Lorenzetti, a 7-foot-tall college pitcher who consistently throws at 92 miles per hour. “We all play hard in this family,” she laughed.

At a time when access, quality and trust matter more than ever in real estate, Premier Real Estate Group continues to prove that a boutique model – when led by the right team – can outperform the big players. The firm’s ability to source, structure and secure deals others can’t see makes it a vital ally for today’s serious investors.
