My Life as a Realtor – Day 122

My Life as a Realtor ~

Day 122:

Sunday – and Jonathan had his last soccer game – which ended in a tie – and I was so thankful it was a HOME GAME - at the New Fairfield High School Rebel Turf Field. And yes, once again – I sat in my car… actually it’s our rental from Enterprise…

… and watched the game – keeping myself warm and multi-tasking at the same time. I worked a bit, making calls, sending e-mails and I looked over my “To-Do” list for Thanksgiving Day.

My Life as a Realtor – Day 121

My Life as a Realtor ~

Day 121:

It’s Saturday – after making a few phone calls – following up with Feedback from agents that have shown some of my listings – comunicated with clients – accomplished some work on-line and finished a few chores – I set out to Stop n Shop for some grocery shopping – keeping my eye out for any specials for my Thanksgiving dinner.

Then a quick stop at Staples to purchase some ink for my printer and back home to drop off the groceries. As I started dinner, I realized I forgot a few things! So, I left David tending to my half started dinner while I went to Shaws – which is just a few minutes away. I decided while I was there to also rent a few movies from Redbox and purchase a few more pellets. I must have said this a hundred times – I LOVE MY PELLET STOVE! Do you wanna know why? Because it’s close to the end of Novemeber and I haven’t turned on my furnace!!

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.
