My Life as a Realtor – Day 172

My Life as a Realtor ~

Day 172:

It’s a sunny – but cold – Saturday morning and I have an appointment in Brewster, NY.

My clients, which are first time home buyers, have a closing scheduled for next week and came over to the home to go over a few things with the current owners. One item on their list was to go through the plantings around the property. We walked through the snow and I could only imagine how beautiful the landscaping will be in the Spring. For today, we froze while tracking through the snow…

Day 171:

It’s Friday! Busy day…

Morning appointment in Brookfield, CT – one condo with a new client – a very sweet newlywed. Then, off to my second appointment. Also in Brookfield with a gentleman who viewed a listing sheet from my brochure box in front of my listing…

A 4/5 Bedroom – 3 Bath Colonial for $378,000!!!!

Then my mother and I went to lunch at Panera Bread…

Then we did some grocery shopping at Shop Rite…

We’re having a seafood dinner tonight, but I’ll let you in on a little secret – I don’t care for seafood!

Then back into New Fairfield for a quick stop at Shaws for pellets and then back home to do some work before an evening appointment in Danbury to view a few townhouses again in the Rivington complex with first time home buyers. We were there until 8:45pm – and had a grand old-time!

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.
