buy a home: Bob and Richelle Ward, Realtors Got a Brand New Look - 11/14/09 04:04 PM
Bob and Richelle Ward, Realtors Got a Brand New Look We have looked the same for many years - in our professional photo at least. Problem is, we got older and Richelle's hair style changed - nobody recognized her. When she handed out our business card, the joke became "that's me with red hair and bangs". People easily recognized Bob and knew he was a local Realtor.
So, here are our professional photos. We would love to hear your feedback on them.

buy a home: Mortgage Rates and your Purchasing Power - 06/28/09 10:46 AM
There are many moving parts to purchasing a home - two of them are the purchase price of the home and the mortgage rate. Mortgage rates change every day, but recently they went from 4.85% to 5.75% and are now back down around 5.25%. We have had a few first time homebuyers who have only been concerned about "the bargain" price on their purchase. When we pointed out the variation of the mortgage rate and how it affected their purchasing power, they didn't get it at first. This got us to thinking ...
We're going to post a few tables with lots of … (6 comments)

OK, so you're trying to find a home to buy and you're going out every weekend. You search Realtor.com so much, you know the inventory better than your Realtor.

"is this the one???"
You speak with your Realtor every day - some days, you talk with to your Realtor two or five times about homes for sale. You want to … (2 comments)

For the past few months, we have been working on our website, www.connecticuthomesforsale.com, to improve it and make it more consumer friendly. It was a pretty boring website with "canned" pages and comments. Every page has been re-worked and the following items have been added:

buy a home: Marriage, Divorce and Buying a Home - 12/23/08 05:14 PM
When Bob and I first started our real estate careers, older Realtors in our office gave us loads of advice. The one piece of advice that sticks in both our minds is about the three most stressful things in life:
Getting Married Getting a Divorce Buying a House I've always thought there was quite a bit of truth to this as I have personally experienced #1 and #3. The stress of getting everything perfect and not forgetting someone or something when we got married just about put me over the edge. I remember when I had to order the flowers with my raging fever and ear infection, I … (1 comments)
