My Life as a Realtor – Day 12

My Life as a Realtor ~

Day 12:

It’s Sunday… pancake Sunday. No appointmentstoday, things seem to be slowing down. Notoriously, Real Estate does get a bit slower during the month of August. I keep busy though - searching both MLS’s in NY & CT, sending any potential listings to clients that are interested in purchasing a home. I also search for ideas for my blogs on WordPress, Active Rain, Trulia andZillow. Then there’s networking on Twitter and Facebook, adding photos to Flickr and keeping on top of my leads in my Lead Router and Listing Book - 2 new clients joined for their free accounts on Listing Book and they seem to like it. So, really there is never a slow day – there is always much to do.

Today, it rained for most of the day. I don’t recall ever having such a wet summer. The benefit is not having to water my flowers and our reservoirs are full and flowing. Negatives is the water that seeped into the basementtoday and that I have steak and hot dogs to barbecue for dinner. I guess we’ll use our beach umbrella while grilling and Joe will have to find where the water in the basement is getting in from. Thank goodness he is a “jack of all trades” and enjoys working on the house. Just last week, he finished refacing around our front doors. There had been clapboard siding and water had been getting into the basement from the corners of our front steps… not anymore. Now it came in from the back steps!

Was in contact with a few clients today making 3 appointments for next week. Sent an e-news letter to all my customers/clients in my Lead Router. After dinner, Melissa made some yummy mini margarita pizza’s. It was a great lazy Sunday.

GETTING TO KNOW ME

As a full time REALTOR in Westchester, Putnam and Dutchess counties in NEW YORK – and Fairfield and parts of Litchfield counties in CONNECTICUT , I am very pleased to have the opportunity to share my passions on REAL ESTATE, FAMILY, PETS, anything and everything in and around a HOME – including COOKING, MOVIES, MUSIC and more!

I have been married for 25+ years to my wonderful husband Joe. We have 5 children – Melissa, David, Amanda, Sara and Jonathan. After waiting anxiously – for almost 17 years, being home with my kids for 10 and a Nursery school teacher for 7 years – I FINALLY became a Licensed Realtor – first in Connecticut - where my family and I live – and then in New York – where my office, Century 21 V.J.F. Realty is located.

I was born and raised in Mt. Vernon, New York. My parents, who came to the US from Portugal, were extremely hard working – with even stronger ethics on being good to everyone – everywhere – period! “Faz bem, nao olhes a quem.” This has been instilled in me all my life, which has made me the mother, wife, daughter, sister, friend and the REALTOR I am today. Thank You Ma and Papa.
