Are They Married? - 09/26/07 10:35 AM
Sometimes, when talking to a seller, either after an open house or when reviewing an offer we received, they start to ask questions about the buyers:
Are the married? Do they have kids? Where do they work? How much money do they make? Are they "X"?  (insert race or religion here) My answers? 
I don't know/don't care I don't know/don't care I don't know/don't care I don't know/don't care I don't know/don't care Usually, they realize that the questions were silly and that they were just being curious or even a bit nosey.  Sometimes, they'll respond, "But you have to know."No, I … (12 comments)

Unrepresented Sellers: Protect Yourself - 09/26/07 09:41 AM
This past Sunday, there was an ad in the Danbury, Connecticut newspaper for a home that is being sold by the owners, without the representation of a REALTOR.
These unrepresented sellers took out a display ad which contained a heavily shaded photo of their house (dark shadows don't reproduce well in a newspaper) along with a whole lot of text.  They used a neat concept for the text - a cutesy description of the home, their family, why they're moving and how your family will live in the house.
Whoa...Red flags everywhere.
Describing their family?  Danger...Danger...people now know too much about you … (4 comments)

Moving with Movers - 09/03/07 10:30 AM
I just heard from one of my clients.  I sold their home here in New Fairfield, Connecticut, and they relocated to Walnut Creek, California - my old stomping grounds, as I lived there for many years.
It was a fun transaction - we sold their home in this so-called "down market" in a matter of days, and with multiple offers.  But the best part was hearing of their home search back in Walnut Creek.  We talked about the different neighborhoods they were looking in, and of the shopping.  Walnut Creek is famous for its shopping.  It was a chance for me … (10 comments)

Marine Rescue 911 - Candlewood Lake - 09/02/07 09:19 PM
This Labor Day weekend, I was able to take a few hours away from work and take my boys over to my aunt's lake house on Candlewood Lake here in New Fairfield, Connecticut.

My aunt always wanted people in her family her enjoy the water as much as she does.  I think she finally got her wish with my three boys.  They love her pool.  They love her lake house.  They love her beach.  They love the water.  And, they love, love, love her boat.
Yes, the boat rides are one of my kids' favorite things to do in the … (4 comments)
