Even when things are bad, they're good. That's why I love it here in Southington Connecticut. It's a wonderful community with great people and there are lots and lots of things to do. But what I appreciate most are the schools. I have 3 kids in the Southington Public School System and I have to say that most days, I am quite impressed with how they're run.
Today a few parts of town were experiencing flooding issues due to yesterday's rain and all the rapidly melting snow.

north star real estate: Things to Consider Before Buying a Condo - 08/26/10 07:25 AM
There are so many wonderful advantages to maintenance-free condo living! However, with all the advantages, come a few challenges every now and then. If you're considering buying a condo, there are a few things you definitely need to think about.
I must start out by saying, I've never lived in a condominium BUT, my company manages them. Trust me. I speak from experience when I tell you ....

A Broker Who "Gets It" in Southington Connecticut! Linda Tosta, Broker/Owner of North Star Real Estate in Southington, CT is always on the cutting edge ...When I started my Home Staging business a few years ago, most Realtors in the Central Connecticut area didn't know what staging was, and those who did, think think much of it. Today there are plenty of Realtors and Brokers today that STILL don't have much use for it.
Serious sellers know they need to do everything they can to make their home stand out. Home Staging [my way] is a very simple AND … (1 comments)

north star real estate: I Want to Be a Better Blogger - 08/06/10 04:56 PM
I've been dipping my toe in the Active Rain waters for a while now, trying to get the hang of this blogging thing. You see, I'm the type of person who doesn't want to do something, unless I can do it really well ... unfortunately, blogging is one of those things you have to do before you can be really good at it. I find practicing in public rather scary, so this has been a HUGE obstacle for me to overcome.
I'd like to thank all of the wonderful Active Rain members who post their success stories because they've inspired … (12 comments)
