I couldn't be more happy for my client's!
They had to endure so many delays in obtaining this "short sale"!
I'm sure they would agree that the work and wait were all worth it!
They now have a beautiful yard for their children to play in,
space for Dad's "man cave" with the fire-placed, walk-out basement and
a kitchen Mom can enjoy!
 
All this for only $16.00 a month more than what they have been paying to "rent"!
That's right, for only $16. more per month including P, I, PMI, Taxes & Insurance they now "own"!

New Homeowners
 
By far the most rewarding closing I have ever had!
This couple gave it all they had to gain their piece of the "American Dream" and earned every bit of it.
They have the right to be so proud!

Increase Your Homes Equity for "Free"!

Increase Your Homes Equity for "FREE"!

Gardening

Okay, Maybe free isn't the best way to describe what I propose but it shouldn't cost you a dime, just some good old fashioned labor!
 
What? You don't have one! If you own a piece of land then you have a garden!

Pansy
 
You may not see it that way but I do! something lives there, grass, weeds, bugs...
If they can survive then you have a garden and if you nurture it, it will increase the equity in your home!
 
I used to spend all day in my yard but could never afford to go out and buy plants. After one year of showing my interest in gardening, the neighbors started sharing plants with me and from there it grew. I realized the more I talked about it the more I was offered a vast variety of wonderful plants all for FREE! I am in my 15th house and I know that my gardening efforts increased my homes equity, my sales price and shortened my days on market too!

Garden
 
I stopped gardening about 11 years ago due to my life's circumstances but am back on track this year and oh how I love it and have missed it!
 
The only problem I have is that I don't have a close relationship with my current neighbors so I'm asking for your help!
If you have gardens that need dividing this year I'll be happy to lend a hand for "FREE" if you will share the wealth of your plantings with me! In the coming years I will be able to return the favor!
 
 I've taken stock of what was already growing in my yard that I have ignored for the past 8 years. I found I had more than I thought once I started pulling the weeds and transplanting things. I have 2 Peony's that have refused to blossom this year so I have to figure them out,( any suggestions?) but for now, they are nice little bushes. I have Lambs Ear that just grows wild and has blossomed beautifully this year. My Dad gave me a bunch of hosta last year and they seem to like their new home. I should be able to split some of them up next year which will allow me to share them!

 
So get out and enjoy the spring and summer season and increase your homes equity in the process!

Regional Community YMCA Family Center

Regional Community YMCA Family Center

 
Get the facts at the Putnam Middle School informational meetings!
They will be holding 2 meetings; please try to attend one or both and get the facts!
 
                 Dates: 6/13/11 and 6/21/11 (Tonight and next Tuesday)
 Time:                                   7:pm to 9:pm

                Address:  35 Wicker Street Putnam, CT 06260

Everyone one is welcome to attend and ask questions!
 
I spoke with Christine Rivers today who told me these meetings are being held to answer questions and ease fears of Putnam residents about a tax increase due to the proposal to build the new Regional Community YMCA Family Center. She explained that the 15 acres of land will be donated by Wheelabrator Putnam Inc. and that there is a state gift of 14 million to construct! No tax increase! Now that's what I like to hear!
I don't have all the facts but am very interested in having a facility bring new community spirit to Northeast, CT!

Attend the meetings, get the facts and make a well informed decision for your community by voting on June 23rd, 2011
 
Only Putnam Residents can vote but this vote can make life changes for all in Northeast, CT! Please encourage your family & friends in Putnam to become aware and get involved by voting!
 
The facility which will be under the umbrella of the YMCA of Greater Hartford hope to bring amenities such as:
An Aquatic Center with:
1) Competion Length Swimming Pool
2) Warm Water Pool w/wheelchair accessability
 
Health & Wellness Center
Gymnasium
Walking Trail
Child Care (for those parents needing a place for their children while they work-out in a healthy, social environment)
 
The Regional Community YMCA will be located at the entrance to the Technology Park in Putnam off Kennedy Drive close to 395 & Route 44
For more information please attend one or both of the meetings listed above!

HOW ARE WE GOING TO MOVE THESE CONDOS?

HOW ARE WE GOING TO MOVE THESE CONDOS?

Are we not the professionals?

LETS DISPEL THE FEARS OF CONDO BUYERS!
 
With opinions, attitude & poor advice we the REALTOR, who has first contact with buyer's for the most part, are not delivering an exceptional service by convincing buyer's that their dreams are a bad idea!
 
How did we get here and how are we going to get out?
 
The Real Estate Crash in recent years has put more fear in the public eye, and from where I stand and watch, REALTORS have followed suit! When did we become the SCARED REALTOR, delivering FEAR to our clients? The very hand that feeds us? Why did we forget that we are the PROFESSIONALS with knowledge and insight into the solutions that keep buyer's dreams alive? The negative "buzz" has got to stop if we are to move forward. I hear it in conversation with so many I talk to and I disagree.
 
Buyers across the country are afraid to buy the very thing they dream of....  
 
~ A CONDO ~
 
It makes so much sense for so many and yet we have SCARED the buyers away. I am here to deliver the dream, help it all work and make condos make sense for you!
 
 
Why do buyer's want condos so bad? Depending on their place in time in their lives the reasons may differ:
 
1) Low Maintenance ~ no mowing, no raking, no plowing, no painting, no roofing, no gutter cleaning...
2) Great place to call home before, after or beginning a family
3) Easy living for busy professionals
4) A place for our parents to have their own space with less fuss
5) Low, low rates & Low low prices
6) Sustained equity ~ Professionals, first time home purchasers and retirees all have one thing in common; difficulty up keeping the exterior.
By allowing an association to maintain the yearly upkeep, loss of home equity is less likely in your future.
 
I am going to work with our lending industry to encourage the institutions that fund these projects to become more competitive in today's market. With our government programs letting us down by not allowing FHA and VA buyers to buy what they want, where they want the conventional lenders are going to have to get creative in order to keep the dream alive for both buyer's and builders alike. The first of these meetings was held today and the response was exhilarating.
Developing these programs will take a little time and ingenuity but will be a benefit to buyers, sellers, lenders and agents! We are all in this together and need to look for the solution and stop being part of the problem. Buyers want condos, builders want to develop them, lenders want the mortgages and agents want the sales so please join me in delivering a service that will be a win win situation for all involved!
 
If your an agent listing new construction condos talk with the parent lender and ask for their assistance, I did and they are excited to offer a helping hand in delivering a product that will give the American public what they want, an easier way of life with competitive financing options that our government seems to have forgotten we deserve.
 
If your an agent showing new construction Condos don't run the other way when your told "no FHA financing"! Although this might be true, the project lender has many other options if you are willing to take the time to learn them and deliver to your client the real service they deserve.
 
If your a buyer obtaining negative feedback from your Lender or Realtor give me a call. I will be happy to look at the real issues blocking your dreams and assist you in finding a way to make a sound financial decision that works with your lifestyle and not someone else's.

What does friendship mean to you?
Friends


There are the people in our lives we call friends without realizing the meaning. I genuinely love people and would love to say I have lots of friends. In my heart I do but often wonder if the lack of time I have to show them I care will break the bond I feel. Today I closed on a property for one of those friends!
I have been through some tough times in life as so many of us have. I have met  many great people along the way that helped see me through in more ways than one. As life has changed I have not had the same quality of time with some of them. Today I was shown that I am not the only one that believes once a friendship is formed it can stay with you through life even when we let life take us in new directions and don't make the time we all wish we would. I tend to feel this way about people that get too busy for me. I don't turn my back, rather I wish them well and look forward to the day we can catch up even if that means years.


Thank You Don for being there for me always! You are the best!
