fran rokicki realty: Lesson Learned! - 09/24/12 09:00 AM

Without disclosing the address or the parties involved, I have to share this situation with you. You just won't believe it!
Wrote an offer on a home, that was a short sale. We wrote the offer in March of this year. Patiently, my clients waited and waited. My client read, somewhere online, that there was going to be a huge tag sale at the address of the property he was under contract to purchase. They listed, cabinets, vanities, light fixtures, etc. Yes, the kitchen sink. I was contacted by my client. In turn, I called the attorney representing the buyer and … (7 comments)

We had a gathering for this video shooting. Yes, it is my first! I offered strawberries, melons, grapes, croissants, juice, coffee, tea, hot chocolate and more.

fran rokicki realty: The Big Dig Out in Connecticut! - 01/29/11 05:58 AM

As I drove around this morning, for my appointments, I was able to grab a few good shots of roads that have been cleaned out and some of those, that still need big shovels to help. There is a city in Connecitcut, Bridgeport, where they featured the neighborhood on the news, this morning. Apparently, they were not waiting for the town to dig them out. They took a day and a night, and dug out their own road! Everyone grabbed a shovel and dug snow! A lady said that it was good to meet some of her neighbors and work along … (7 comments)

fran rokicki realty: Back to School is Early This Year! - 08/20/08 07:38 AM

Remember when school started after Labor Day Weekend? It was the true end to summer vacation. We used to take one more trip to Martha' s Vineyard and enjoy the beach, boating and fishing. Just one more time. This year our local towns are starting school next week. School will be half day sessions for two or three days, depending on the town. Then, they will have the Labor Day Weekend off and go back to full time days for the rest of the week. Luckily, the weather has cooled off. I can't imagine having the students sitting in the classrooms in hot … (1 comments)

fran rokicki realty: Who is Your Buyer? - 08/20/08 04:35 AM

You have a buyer contract with Mr. X. You have him pre-approved and off you go to look at properties. Setting up appointments within his time frame and yours. Yes, there are many listings to see. So, let's try to narrow down what this buyer really wants. I, actually, made forms for buyers to fill out these "wants in my next home." On that same form, I ask for their birthday, anniversary (in case they are a couple), favorite restaurant, favorite song, color, etc. It gets me to know my client in a faster amount of time, on a more personal … (12 comments)

fran rokicki realty: Hartford County Towns in Connecticut - 08/17/08 04:30 AM

When you appear in court, to serve on jury duty in your county, the town that you reside in determines which county courthouse you will be attending. Your homeowner's and vehicle insurance are determined by the county, also. I found these lists online through the Google site. I thought this would be useful information to the public, though we all do use Google:) Some of the towns listed are part of another town, a suburb or downtown area. Such as, Elmwood, it is part of West Hartford, Collinsville is part of Canton, and Burnside is part of East Hartford, etc. It's … (2 comments)

fran rokicki realty: Tolland County Connecticut ~ Towns - 08/17/08 03:59 AM

To be sure that folks know what towns comprise Tolland County in Connecticut, I have posted a list obtained on Google. Offering correct and accurate information is important when deciding where to buy your home. It affects your car and property owner's insurance. Just like the question on your homeowner's policy that asks how far the property is from the local firehouse or fire hydrant. Most towns in Tolland County are serviced by wells for their water service, not a centralized water/sewer line. We do have dry hydrants. These are placed near ponds, rivers, streams and sometimes pools. If there is a … (2 comments)

fran rokicki realty: Connecticut State, Tax Free Event! How Much? - 08/16/08 01:50 AM

Welcome to our state. Starting on Sunday, August 17 and thru August 23rd, we have a tax free week for clothing and footwear that is less than $300.00. I thought it would be for all items. Don't you need to buy school supplies, too? My children are now adults, so, this no longer impacts my budget. I do hope that it helps others in our state. With rising fuel prices and our local taxes continuing to rise every year, it has become difficult for most citizens of Connecticut to meet their family and business budgets.
This event, ordered by our Govenor, … (1 comments)

The date is coming up quickly. Of course, you know the story. When you are going away for a few days or so, whether it is for a conference or for a vacation, that is just when everyone of your clients is ready to buy or list their home. It never fails! My former broker used to tell others in our office to take a trip like Fran does, she's busier than ever. Everytime she plans to go away, she sells more properties. It was embarrasing at first, but I found that it did encourage people to take a day or … (5 comments)

fran rokicki realty: Make Your Trip Worth It! - 08/11/08 07:40 AM

Did you hear this when you were a child? Going upstairs and bringing clean laundry up, for your Mom, since you were going upstairs anyway? Coming downstairs, grab something to carry for someone else, just to make sure they wouldn't have to go upstairs for just one thing?
Those of you who are or have been coached by or attended Brian Buffini's Events have heard his version of this, from his Mother, in his Irish accent. Seems to sound so much better when he says it!
The truth is, we can all do this. Daily we are running about, here and … (6 comments)

We all, do need to help and work together to make our profession successful. When I have an agent call to make an appointment to show my listings, I am grateful and I let them know, right then.

fran rokicki realty: Taxes Paid for the Year! - 08/02/08 04:54 AM

Our small town of Bolton, in Connecticut has a payment of our motor vehicle taxes once a year. Property taxes, too. Our property taxes are paid by our escrow account with our mortgage company. The town offers a new option this year. You can now pay these fees to the town online, serviced by an outside vendor. Checking this out was very interesting. They advised residents that they charged twenty-five cents for each vehicle tax that you paid, to the town. That sounded okay. I chose a username and password. Here we go! Sounded too easy, it was not. After three or … (5 comments)
