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!

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.

Killingly Parks & Rectreation Brings Our Community Together

Killingly Parks & Recreation Brings Our Community Together

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
Did you come out yesterday for the SCARECROW KINGDOM & MAD MONSTER MARCH?
I did and I may have your picture! Look below for you photo!

I so enjoyed seeing such a great turnout by our communities families to enjoy making scarecrows to display in Davis Park! There were so many interesting characters to bring out the Halloween Spirit in a safe family environment. Music, pumpkin painting and trick or treating for all!

Thank you for all who take the time to make this happen.
I raised my kids here through their elementary & high school years and remember all the events we took part in. I am thankful for all the memories! It makes me want to give back and become a part of all that goes into creating a wonderful environment for our children to raise their families in, in the future. I moved away and missed the feeling it gave me as a parent and had to come back. Now I would like to give back and intend to seek ways to get involved. Killingly is a great place to live and raise a family and I would like to help it stay that way!

China Garden: My Favorite Place For Chinese Food In Killingly, CT

China Garden: My Favorite Place For Chinese Food In Killingly, CT

China Garden Restaurant

Lets face it every now and then we just crave Chinese Food!

I know I do! I love the little boxes of my personal comfort food I can eat just about anywhere!

I have tried them all more than once and have found China Garden in Dayville, CT to be my favorite!

China Garden Restaurant

 

 

The staff is friendly and the food is consistently great! I mainly like it for take out but they do have a dining area if you wish. I have met friends there several times for lunch and haven't found one yet that didn't get hooked on the tasteful quality. The more people I talk to and ask where they get their Chinese Food fix from tell me China Garden is the best in Killingly!
