Choosing a Google Voice number

Nicole Aleksandrowicz

I live in Connecticut, where I'm starting my real estate journey. I will be operating out of a company one town over, so I want to use the local agent angle to drive in some business.

We have two area codes that are easily recognizable as CT phone numbers (860 and 203). However, there is also a third (475) that usually gets some weird looks when you share it (for my personal cell I have the third area code, when I verbally give it out I often get asked where that number is from).  

When I look up my google voice number options, I can either get a number in the town I will be operating out of - but with the 475 area code. However, if I choose a different town, I can get one of the more easily recognizable area codes either 203 or 860.

So - I'd like to get some input as to which of the following matter the most:

  1. Locale is more important, don't worry about the area code, 
  2. Area code that's easily recognizable is more important, or,
  3. It really doesn't matter.

Thank you in advance for taking the time to read and respond. I'm always happy to clarify if need be.
