connecticut real estate: The Way It Should Be
- 10/29/07 12:20 PM
I have a certain Mortgage Lender who I refer buyers to quite a bit. I always give 3 references, but he is my top choice of lenders. Why, because out of all the lenders I have worked with, and I have had the fortune to have work with some really great ones, he goes above and beyond to get the job done for me. I have known him to go the Court House to get copies of a divorce decree because my buyer was unable to locate hers and could not take time off from work. He has gone to elderly … (38 comments)
John Caffery & The Beaver Brown Band preformed again this year at the North Haven Fair. It was a beautiful night, much different than last year's pouring rain and the band played all their old hits which had the crowd on their feet and dancing. And when they performed their hit "On the dark side", it brought down the house.
The audience went crazy when John Caffery and Michael "Tune" Antunes jumped down from the stage and mingled with the crowd. Michael's saxophone playing was hot as the band played their hit "Tender Years", which is also from the movie "Eddie and the Cruisers". … (23 comments)

connecticut real estate: Just because you got your real estate license doesn’t mean you know how to sell real estate.
- 07/15/07 08:47 AM
I know you're all excited you are now licensed to sell real estate. You have taken your classes and passed the state test. You have signed on with a real estate company, ordered you business cards, and convinced one of your friends that you are now a real estate professional and can find them their dream home. But that doesn't mean you know what you are doing. When you are first starting out you need to find a company that has an excellent training program for new agents.
