While it may be early, I would love to take a minute to wish everyone the best for 2012 - 12/26/11 12:37 PM
I am so excited to see what this new year will be like for our business. Every year has been so different. Some of my best years to date in terms of sales have been the last few. I have had my lisence for over 14 years so I have seen good markets and not so good markets. For me, having good sales numbers over the last few years must mean I am doing something right….
While it may be early, I would love to take a minute to wish everyone the best for 2012!

MUST KNOW - what are the best.... - 12/26/11 12:01 PM
I finally got an iphone – this one is the 4s and I am so excited.
I have used a blackberry for years and knew it was time to switch. I was always so envious of all the cool apps the iphone users had – but I am happy with Verizon and never wanted to switch to another provider….but now I had my chance with iphone becoming available to Verizon users.
I just have one thing to ask….. What are your favorite apps? Which are the must have apps for Realtors?

Glastonbury had 2 other names??? - 12/25/11 06:05 PM
Did you know that in 1693 Glastonbury CT was originally called Glassenbury when it broke from Wethersfield CT and became a town all its own? In 1785 the town residents renamed Glassenbury to Glastenbury. Then in 1870 the town residents changed the name of the town one last time to Glastonbury. There are only 2 towns in world named Glastonbury, one in England and of course our very own town in Connecticut!

Fannie Mae is holding a house hostage, they won't let my cash buyer buy it. - 12/21/11 08:23 AM
I had to re-bog this post by Tammy Lankford of Lane Realty. I couldn't believe what I was reading but know that it is ridiculous decisions such as she described that are very likely happening all over the US - decisions by banks or lawyers not to sell foreclosed or short sale properties for stupid reasons.
Seems like there is a piece of this puzzle we dont know about. Puzzling!!!!!!!!

Full Day Kindergarten may be coming to Glastonbury - 12/18/11 08:27 PM
The Glastonbury Board of Education recently held a public hearing on the issue of starting full time kindergarten here in Glastonbury. While there is a lot of ground to cover in terms of studies and cost issues, the hearing drew a pretty good crowd for those in favor and opposed to the full day kindergarten proposal. A study group led by 2 elementary school principals presented its findings to the BOE. Those findings reflected many benefits of full time kindergarten.
Cost proposals are expected in January as the BOE works through the 2012 -2013 budgets. The option of either full … (3 comments)

I received the CT Magazine's Five Star Award again this year! Thank you! - 12/12/11 03:52 PM
How Was I Selected?
Consumers in Connecticut were asked if they had experience working with a real estate agent. Consumers who agreed, participated in the survey by providing the name of the real estate agent and rated that individual according to key criteria such as integrity, negotiation and closing preparation. I have been told by reps, that surveys were sent to Connecticut area residents who recently purchased a home over $150,000 (more than 30,500 households) within a 12-month period (April 2010 to April 2011) and 1,000 subscribers of Connecticut Magazine and additionally there were 250 surveys sent to mortgage companies and title companies in my … (4 comments)
