My Life as a Realtor – Day 230
My Life as a Realtor ~
Day 230:
It’s Monday – and Real Estate is getting busier – more inquires – more hours working – and I NOT complaining!
After doing some work – it was time to head to New Fairfield Middle School for a Parent-Teacher conference for my youngest – Jonathan…

Day 229:
Sunday! Jonathan went to the Danbury Fair Mall yesterday with friends and finally got a much needed hair cut. He slept over one of his friend’s house and came home this morning. I snapped the pic of him while gushing over his new hair doo…
Then, back to work – an Open House on one of my listings ~ 2A Hudson Drive – New Fairfield CT ~ **CLICK to VIEW** . My sellers have renovated the 2nd floor and it looks fantastic!
2nd Bedroom….
Office area….
It was such a beautiful warm day and I could start to see that some of the frozen water views of Ball Pond had started to thaw…

Day 228:
A busy and great work day today. Received 2 referrals within an hour of each other! Both are lovely couples and I look forward to meeting and working with them!
The weather was beautiful and the pups loved it – here is Remi on the deck…
I can’t wait until summer so I can lay out here and attempt getting a tan – Ha! I’m laughing since every year I pick a day when everyone is out – so I don’t have to torture them by seeing me in a bathing suit – then tear myself away from chores and work – drag the lounge chair to a perfect sun position – make sure I have my cell, water and I-Pod – and after minutes of getting a some-what comfortable position, I begin to feel the warm sun doing it’s thing…. and then, the BUGS start arriving – buzzing and landing on me – phone calls and e-mails also start coming through on my cell – I have to keep sitting up and stopping my I-Pod because I think I keep hearing someone ringing the doorbell. After about half an hour of this – of which by now I’m sweating like a piglet and have said a few not-so-nice words! I decide I’ll just live with my pale complexion and not complain!

Another day come and gone – and another new client!
Also, a cutie-petootie came by again today while I was working. For the longest time he ate and watched me while I worked…

Day 225:
Another day of work… and shopping with my mom…
I don’t know where mom gets all her energy – and keeps track of all the shopping for gifts to bring back home to friends and family in Portugal.
In the afternoon, an appointment in New Fairfield CT …. CLICK to View

Day 224:
Yes – working from home again today. My mother and I enjoyed a movie in the afternoon – a nice break from being on the computer since 7:30 am – although, I took my lap top into the living room to work while watching. So, not sure if this qualifies as a full break! Although, Remi took advantage and took his own break…
and yes, that is Dennis Quaid on screen in the movie – “Day After Tomorrow” – where global warming causes another ice age.

Day 223:
Monday… a snowy weekend is past us – I’m working from home and snappings pics of the pets enjoying some time outdoors…
My Life as a Realtor – Day 222

Day 222:
Sunday – new client today!
We viewed many homes in Ridgefield CT and a few in Danbury CT and enjoyed having to truck through the snow of the homes that had not yet been plowed!
We ended the day with me dropping them off at Starbuck’s in New Fairfield CT.
My Life as a Realtor – Day 221

Day 221:
Saturday! We’re still cleaning up snow and longing for Spring….
Here is Remi running down the driveway…
and running back…
Remi loves the snow – and I don’t! I prefer to stay indoors, toasty warm and working all day!
My Life as a Realtor – Day 220

Day 220:
Friday and the storm came and it is a doozy!
Remi loved playing in this cold – white stuff!
Amanda made her famous German Apple Pancake. I couldn’t resist and had to take a bite before snapping a pic...
It was a nice day to work from home since I couldn’t go out because of the storm! Hopefully it will be fine to go out tomorrow since I may have an appointment with new clients!
My Life as a Realtor – Day 219
My Life as a Realtor ~
Day 219:
Anticipated storm never really came! Of course the kids were disappointed – but… I had the day to myself – trying to do as much work as possible…
For dinner, I made a dish that I had seen on Rachael Ray – Grilled chicken, eggplant, tomato and mozzarella cheese. Everything but the cheese gets grilled separately - drizzling olive oil and adding a dash of salt & pepper – stacking all and popping back in the over to just melt the cheese! Mmmmm!
My Life as a Realtor – 218
My Life as a Realtor ~
Day 218:
Wednesday… kids had a 2 hour delay – which I think I love more than they do!
Remi (aka Buba) and Tisha (aka Tishona) enjoyed being naughty and sitting on the couch…
While Moe (aka Moe-Joe-Joe-Joe) hid in his favorite spot – above the kitchen cabinets…
Although, Remi found him within seconds – as always. I swear, he can smell him a room away!
My Life as a Realtor – Day 217
My Life as a Realtor ~
Day 217:
Tuesday… and it snowed… again!
I enjoyed having the kids home – working – and watching the birds…
My Life as a Realtor – Day 216
My Life as a Realtor ~
Day 216:
More phone calls – e-mails – and a few text messages – a nice, busy Monday.
Then, after my first of six loads of laundry was washed – I threw it into the dryer, and… nothing. My dryer was not working and I’m having a mini-fit!
So, after spending some time attempting to fix the dryer myself – Ha! that was a pretty site! I called Sears and scheduled an appointment for their repair service to come out and basically save my laundry life. Please keep in mind that the 6 loads of laundry are almost EVERY DAY!
So, I washed 5 loads of laundry, ran to the laundromat to dry them….
Squeezed all 5 loads into 4 dryers since they are substantially larger than my Elite Dryer at home – then took off to pick up pellets. Once I came back, my clothes just needed a few more minutes and Voila! All was dry! Boy, I wish I had this many dryers at home!!!
My Life as a Realtor – Day 215
My Life as a Realtor ~
Day 215:
Sunday – finally, a day to relax….. NOT! Have a wonderful new client who is looking into purchasing in Connecticut – possibly Ridgefield.
After making loads of phone calls, e-mails and working here – on my blog – I took a quick ride to Shaw’s since the kiddies are back to school tomorrow and I need a few things – going to the market 4 to 5 times a week is never enough!
Here are a few pics as I made my way to Shaws in New Fairfield CT…
Heading down Brush Hill Road/Route 39
Passing the Town Hall
Waiting at the light – Intersection of Rte 39 and Rte 37 - I can see Shaw’s up ahead
Hello Shaw’s!

Here is his Dinosaur Birthday Cake…

Day 213:
Friday! Worked from home – love having my laptop in the kitchen. It’s the heart of our home – and has great views of the bird feeders. Here is one little guy looking at me snaping a pic of him…
My Life as a Realtor – Day 211
My Life as a Realtor ~
Day 211:
It’s Wednesday and it’s back out to shop for groceries, pellets, gas up the car,… bla-bla-bla…
First stop in Danbury was Walmart…
The entire store has been recently renovated, adding a larger food section.
Then, we stopped at Marshalls… ooo – la – la!
then Burlington…
Our last stop was in New Fairfield for gas at Mobil and groceries at Shaw’s and it was back home – and back to work.

Day 210:
More SNOW in New Fairfield, CT!
The kids started their week back to school with a 2 hour delay. Remi just loves the snow – here he followed Jonathan to the end of our driveway to wait for the school bus…
It snowed the entire day…
It became a White Winter Wonderland – Here is a view of our back yard from the dinning room window…
I was happy to be working from home – until it was time to go out – a trip to Shaw’s for some groceries and into Danbury for some pellets!
Driving on Route 37 in New Fairfield, CT
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 my COOKING, MOVIES, MUSIC and more!
I have been married for 23 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 over 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 REALTOR I am today. Thank You Ma and Papa.
