frances c rokicki ct broker mentor: Seller Disclosures, Do They Help Your Buyer Make a Choice?
- 08/21/12 05:09 AM
I advise my seller clients to write everything they can, that they know about their home, on that Seller Disclosure Form. Even attach pages, if they needed to. In the state of Connecticut, where I live and sell homes, it is the law. The penalty for not providing a buyer the disclosure, when they make their offer, is now $400.00. The state of Connecticut just raised that penalty from $300.00. We will be issued new forms. This is a good advantage for the seller's to take. Most people have maintained their homes. Some have updated them. Many people improve the home, prior … (8 comments)
frances c rokicki ct broker mentor: Terrific Ct Realtor, Wants to Sell Your Home!
- 07/21/12 01:06 AM
Thinking of moving, this year? Not sure of the timing? The first question I ask of someone who has called me about selling their home is, when would you like to move?

frances c rokicki ct broker mentor: There's a Chill in the Air!
- 11/11/11 03:23 AM
Today is a real, autumn day. Leaves are falling, there is a gentle breeze and the sun is going in and out. Good weather for baking treats, like apple pies, and making stew. Windows are being cleaned, gutters, too. Getting the vehicles checked over and prepped for the upcoming winter season. Raking the leaves, covering the flower beds, tilling the garden and putting away the lawn, deck and porch furniture and ornaments. My hanging tomatoe plants, finally bit the dust!
I'll be popping by my clients, this weekend, with a special token of appreciation. Grateful to have clients that refer their friends and family … (3 comments)
