Bethel, CT

When Bruce and Dana Treidel first opened Bethel Music Center, I'd be surprised if they knew that it was to become the local institution that it is today. A full service retailer of all things musical as well as the premier place in the area for instruction, they have become an active part of the community in Bethel and the surrounding areas.

Whether you're looking to purchase a Violin, Clarinet, Cabasa (which is not a type of sausage, BTW), Euphonium, Guitar, PA, Reeds, Digital Piano, Trombone, Upright Bass, Lyre, Metronome, Print Music or anything else you can think of - they have it or they'll get it.

If you are not exactly sure what it is you want to buy, the staff will help guide you through the options. Personal service is what BMC is all about.

In addition to being a retailer, as I mentioned above - this is the place to go for instruction in just about any instrument you can think of. Approximately 8000 lessons per year are given in their suite of instruction studios.

They've been doing this so successfully for such a long time that some of their students have become instructors, and their instructors over the years have become staff members.

Working closely with the local school system they also provide rental instruments for many budding young musicians. If you have an instrument that needs repair, BMC also provides high quality "1st Chair Repair", with the work being done on premise personally by Bruce, or by one of his staff that he has trained.

In 2008, they celebrated their 25th year in Bethel.The store is located next to the Bethel Cinema at 273 Greenwood Avenue. 203.792.4304

Bethel, Connecticut Real Estate - Foreclosed and Bank Owned

Purchasing a home at a foreclosure auction has many risks to a potential buyer and in most cases the bank will bid and take possession of the property at auction. The property is then referred to as bank owned, REO (real estate owned) or foreclosed property.

To search the CT MLS listings visit Bethel CT MLS listings.

A home owner may attempt a "short sale" whereby the bank agrees to accept less than the mortgage balance based on the owner's hardship and financial status. Obtaining approval can be a long and difficult process. Additionally, there is no assurance that the lender will accept an offer at or above the listed price.

Bank-owned and short sale listings are often marketed with a real estate agent and placed in the Connecticut Multiple Listing Service (to ensure full market exposure).
