fran rokicki sells ct homes: Why I Attend Our Local Meetups
- 10/01/13 03:51 AM
Initially, I attended my first meetup, last year, to support a fellow Rainer, George Souto. He has consistently, supported me. I have held Broker Opens and he has traveled a good distance to attend. I held an AR Meetup in Manchester, Ct at Frank Pepe's Pizza and he attended, as did Ed. I have held client events, that he has attended. Once, in a snowstorm, he was the only attendee who made it through the weather. I couldn't imagine being invited to an event he is hosting and not attending. So, George, thank you for inviting me to join in for your … (8 comments)

fran rokicki sells ct homes: Listings Needed!
- 08/20/13 05:34 AM
With all of the real estate signs that are up, you wouldn't think this would be a title that is necessary. However, my buyer clients are not finding the homes that they need with the present inventory. Many of the homes are short sales or foreclosures, with much needed work. Buyers would rather find a home, that has been cared for, updated and maintained.
My current listings are selling and I will need to refill the stock on the buyer's shelves. The homes that seem to be the most requested are either ranches, colonials or capes. Garage, one or two, is … (7 comments)

fran rokicki sells ct homes: Finally, A Warm
- 04/28/13 03:38 AM
Winter has carried us into a very cold and dreary spring this year. Finally, this weekend, has changed that status!
Showings will increase, sales will increase and yes, more listings will be coming on the market. People are ready to move. It's amazing, what affect, that the good, sunny weather has on our outlook, our business and our life. Spring is refreshing and a chance for all of us to renew. Renew our path in life and renew our business.
Flowers are for sale, everywhere. I've purchased several hanging baskets of pansies and my favorite, white petunias. Agway, Stop & Shop, Nurseries … (9 comments)

fran rokicki sells ct homes: What's Your "Busy Day" Like?
- 04/25/13 10:28 AM
Business has increased as the spring market approaches. While you are chasing your vendors, clients, listings and friends, are you staying on track with your daily "must do's?" Having systems in place will allow you to use your time, more wisely. Getting up an hour earlier or maybe, you are a night person, so, staying awake an hour later, to make your daily routine tasks completed.
My most precious step is in the morning. I journal. I love to write my daily feelings, experiences and even look back at what I was doing at this same time period, last year. It's amazing how … (8 comments)

fran rokicki sells ct homes: Digging Out, in Connecticut! No Showings, Today!
- 02/09/13 01:09 AM
The snow is still falling at 11:45am, but, it is falling slowly now. As i was looking out the front window, I noticed this yellow vision coming down the road. It was my Son, bringing the backhoe! He owns Birch Mountain Earthworks and has all the right equipment needed in this weather. Actually, they have rental, bobcats, etc., but today no one can get out. People will be reserving equipment for tomorrow. That will be our major dig out day. I have a few listings that will need help in that regard. For today, thanks to him, my driveway is clear, my 4Runner has been … (11 comments)

fran rokicki sells ct homes: Connecticut, Ready for the Blizzard!
- 02/08/13 02:35 AM
People started prepping, yesterday. The grocery stores have never ending lines of people who are purchasing food and drink items. They are, also, purchasing snow blowers, generators, shovels, etc. Showings on my listings, today and tomorrow, have cancelled. Likewise, I have cancelled my buyer client's showings. We will meet and find a home, on another day! I was able to deliver a popby today, on my way back from an errand. So, that's a good day!
The snow has started and our Governor has not yet shut down the state highways and/or roads. Apparently, in the Blizzard of 1978, people were … (8 comments)

- 02/06/13 07:12 AM
Contact a Mortgage Expert
I would highly recommend George Souto of McCue Mortgage, to contact when you are ready to purchase or refinance your home. His knowledge of the industry is amazing and he will work with you to reach your goal of homeownership. George continues to educate himself with the many new regulations and rules of financing in today’s market.
Purchasing a home, will be one of the largest investments that you will make in your lifetime. I cannot think of a better person for you to trust with this endeavor. Meet with George and obtain your preapproval letter, before … (3 comments)

fran rokicki sells ct homes: Endorsing An Active Rain Member! Joe Petrowsky of Right Trac Financial
- 02/06/13 05:27 AM
Looking for a local banker, in Hartford County, who will take the time to explain the mortgage or refinance process to you?
I highly recommend Joe Petrwosky as a mortgage banker. He understands the details and the importance of timing while working on a transaction team.
Client’s trust and confidence are important factors to have and I believe that Joe Petrowsky has these qualities and works to get the transaction closed, successfully.
I advise my clients to go through the preapproval process, prior to looking at homes. You need to know your numbers and also, what programs that may be … (3 comments)

fran rokicki sells ct homes: Seller Disclosures, Do They Help Your Buyer Make a Choice?
- 08/21/12 05:09 AM
I advise my seller clients to write everything they can, that they know about their home, on that Seller Disclosure Form. Even attach pages, if they needed to. In the state of Connecticut, where I live and sell homes, it is the law. The penalty for not providing a buyer the disclosure, when they make their offer, is now $400.00. The state of Connecticut just raised that penalty from $300.00. We will be issued new forms.
This is a good advantage for the seller's to take. Most people have maintained their homes. Some have updated them. Many people improve the home, prior … (8 comments)

fran rokicki sells ct homes: Terrific Ct Realtor, Wants to Sell Your Home!
- 07/21/12 01:06 AM
Thinking of moving, this year? Not sure of the timing?
The first question I ask of someone who has called me about selling their home is, when would you like to move? Oddly enough, that can be answered with, now, in the summer, during the fall, before winter sets in or some people even suggest in the next year or so. Then, there is the "not sure" answer. People may want to just "try out" the market.
Is this a good time to sell?
I find that sellers have more questions than my buyer clients. After all, they do become buyers … (7 comments)

fran rokicki sells ct homes: My Brilliant New Year's Idea!
- 01/02/12 04:47 AM
Not a New Year's Resolution, but, similar in nature. I am realistic and know that I will not hold true to this for the entire new year. I have set a shorter goal, with a purpose in mind. Business has picked up, just with the turn of a calendar. Elections ahead of us and with that, comes a renewed enthusiasm for our economy. The signs are beginning to show a better market for retail sales and real estate. Whoo Hoo!
My brilliant new year's idea is to really keep after it. Whether it be exercising, diet conscience, spiritual awareness, family, business or … (9 comments)

- 06/24/11 11:35 PM
Whether you are young or old, learn to live and celebrate, every day. We all plan for the future and look forward to those days of rest and relaxation. Life can keep you busy, but, you must learn to relax and take time for yourselves. Time is flying by, so do try to pace yourself.
Here are a few goals for examples;
Plan that trip to the tropics. Feel that sand in your toes. Swim in that blue caribbean water. The Bahamas offer good discounts, all year.
Look into purchasing a "winter home." We New Englander's look forward to … (12 comments)

fran rokicki sells ct homes: Spring Renewal, Snow Forecasted for Tomorrow?
- 03/20/11 10:57 AM
Yes, in our state of Connecticut, they are forecasting snow for tomorrow, Monday and Wednesday. They are suggesting, only one to two inches. It will warm up and probably melt away, quickly. We are just relieved that it's not twelve inches of snow, like we were experiencing through most of the winter, everytime that it snowed.
Finally, spring has arrived. Time to freshen up the landscape in the yard and time to do that spring cleaning! I love to dine on our outdoor living space. My office will receive a good spring cleaning, too! It makes it so much easier, to work in a less cluttered … (12 comments)

fran rokicki sells ct homes: Please, Give me the Feedback!
- 03/20/11 09:26 AM
I realize that we all become busy. In today's technology, how hard is it to simply answer an email or a phone message. Just let us know what you and your client's thought of the property. I even offer an email system that will notify the agent of a survey, very short, to take about the property. A few clicks!
I know that now some agents are not offering feedback, because they feel they represent the buyer and don't want to share their client's thoughts. That's okay, just let me know that you got the message. I understand that you will not … (2 comments)

fran rokicki sells ct homes: Planning a Broker Open, Any Thoughts?
- 03/16/11 08:31 AM
Yesterday, I visited a few homes that were Broker Tours. It was good to see the homes. They were beautiful and very well maintained. It was good to see all of the agents who took the time to visit, a fellow Realtor's listing. Hurrah for the Realtors that held the opens! Thank you for your tips and advice.
You never know who or how many agents will attend. You invite everyone that you can. Having feedback from agents coming through the home, is very helpful. Getting agents to view the listing, in person, is invaluable!
I am planning a Broker Open for … (8 comments)
