My Life as a Realtor – Day 86

My Life as a Realtor~

Day 86:

It’s getting cold outside – so cold, it snowed today! We’ve been using our pellet stove and fireplace to keep the house warm and cozy.

I went into the office – ran some errands and couldn’t believe it was snowing in October! I am NOT ready for this – so hopefully, fall weather will be back and then we could gradually work our way into winter.

Day 85:

Wednesday – Realtor Open House Day! Lot’s to do before heading into the office, including working on a new offer.

Today’s Open Houses were great – Carolyn, Eva, Faith and I set out to view our first home in Carmel, NY – 32 Brookview Drive, Carmel, NY ~ CLICK ~ to view listing sheet. An absolutely lovely home, with a very talented owner – I felt as though I was walking through an art gallery, viewing beautiful paintings. What a pleasure to be able to preview it for potential clients!

We moved on to house #2 – in the town of Kent, NY - 4 Mamanasco Road in Kent, NY ~ CLICK ~ to view listing sheet. This home is an estate – a great buy with lots of potential. House #3 was in Patterson, NY – 48 Morningside Dr, Patterson, NY ~ CLICK ~ to view listing sheet. Another lovely home just waiting for a new homeowner! And last, but not least, house #4 in Brewster, NY – 9 Tea House Lane – Brewster, NY ~ CLICK ~ to view listing sheet - This gated home has stunning architectural details throughout!

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.
