Chaves a Portuguese ~ Mamaroneck NY
Chaves a Portugues in Mamaroneck NY reminds me a bit of Portugal. I had the pleasure of going there for the first time a few weeks ago after showing a home in Larchmont. The custard tarts ~ pasteis de nata ~ were awesome and their homemade sausage ~ chourico ~ was wonderful!
Today, my oldest daughter, Melissa, arrives from Portugal after 2-1/2 weeks of traveling from the southern tip ~ Algarve ~ to the northern tip to visit with her grandma (my mom) ~ Chaves ~ and vacationed most of her stay in ~ Coimbra ~ with her grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins who are also all visiting from the states ~ including her daddy – my honey 
who will be there for a total of 3 weeks.

My Life as a Realtor ~
Day 256:
Saturday…. my first appointment was over in Heritage Hills in Somers NY …
My 2nd appointment was showing a few homes in Katonah and North Salem NY.
Our 1st home had a striking red door and interesting door knocker…
My final, evening appointment was back with my client from yesterday to the new Rivington complex in Danbury CT…
My client brought her husband along and they were so sweet together.
Then, it was back to mommy mode – food shopping and dinner was on my mind. So, I stopped at Shaw’s at 7:30 at night to find almost nothing! I had lot’s to pick from at home, but was hoping to pick something up that was quick to make. Unfortunately, Shaw’s is closing 
and Stop & Shop in coming to New Fairfield! In the end, I made a very difficult decision and bought Chinese Food for dinner… he – he!

Lot’s of work to do again today and I’m happy to report that the rain and clouds are gone and it is an absolute gorgeous day!! Spring isn’t until Saturday, although it has arrived today – Yeah!
Here is a pic of a beautiful – and thawed – Ball Pond…
As I made my way to the office, I realized quickly that I was over dressed. This happens every Spring - I’m afraid of being cold, so I still wear turtle necks and coats and sweat my buns off!
After going to the office, I stopped at A&P in Brewster – yes, FOOD SHOPPING AGAIN!
When I arrived home, my mom and David had made a wonderful dinner – our very 1st barbecue of the season – and – we even ate outside…

Day 237:
It’s Monday – a day to catch up on work since I was out all weekend showing homes – how wonderful!
Even though I made a quick trip to the A&P in Brewster yesterday in-between appointments, I had to go grocery shopping again today – gosh, if I only had the past 10 years of what I’ve spent on food – I’d be rich!
So, a quick trip to Shaws – and to buy pellets – gas up David’s car – back home and back to work until it was time to deliver Amanda’s dinner at school while she continues with theatre practice for the big show this coming weekend at New Fairfield High School!

On Sunday, I showed many homes through-out Danbury, CT with 2 wonderful clients.
We started out late morning – meeting at the office in Brewster, NY - Century 21 VJF Realty. It was still chilly – then the day began to warm up with sunny, blue skies…
Here is a Public View list of the homes we visited today…

A total of 10 homes that we viewed – with the exception of one that was only viewed from the exterior due to a lose pup in the house! Price ranges were form $339,900 to $450,000

Day 199:
Yeah! Friday!! Although, my favorite day started out with having to drop off Amanda at school at 6am – way too early and dark for me!
By 7:45, Melissa and I headed into the Bronx so she could have her 4 wisdom teeth extracted – poor Melissa! I must say, the dentist and her staff took very good care of her and it only took us an hour and 5 minutes to get from New Fairfield, CT to the Bronx – and I was driving!
A quick stop at Rite Aid in Brewster to pick up her meds – antibiotics and pain killers. Then home to get her settled and to work a bit before heading back out. Jonathan had 10 friends sleep over so a trip to Shaws for snacks – or I should say, junk food!
My Life as a Realtor – Day 190
My Life as a Realtor ~
Day 190:
Wednesday! Stopped by the office, then a trip to the bank and A&P in Brewster, NY. I couldn’t believe how many seagulls there was in the parking lot…
Then Ma and I grabbed some lunch and it was back home to get some work done before my meeting with Network for Free. This evening, we had a Speed Networking event in Danbury, CT. We grouped into two’s – had a few minutes to exchange business cards and discuss what we did. I met a fellow Realtor, some Tech and Marketing people, an Antique Restorations person and many more! During this time, we were taken aside and given a few minutes to shoot a video with Mike Evans – Digital Video Productions – and discuss what we do and offer to the public. I can’t wait to see mine to see if what I asked for was done – take 10 pounds and 10 years off my appearance – LOL!
Leader of our group – Scott Blanchard – Loan Officer – Mortgage Force Newtown, CT
The event was held at PES – Plaza Executive Suites and what a wonderful evening it was!

Day 187:
A great Busy – Busy day! In the morning, I headed into the office to wait for my first appointment to show my listing in Brewster, NY…
My 2nd/3rd and 4th clients were viewing all in New Fairfield, CT. Of which one was my other listing in New Fairfield…
A misty rain the entire day, but not cold – which made for easy showings and better commutes for all my clients!
My Life as a Realtor – Day 185
My Life as a Realtor ~
Day 185:
Yahoo! It’s Friday!!
Started the day with a morning appointment in Danbury CT – a townhouse in the Lakewood complex – a great unit with lots of room right on the Danbury/New Fairfield border. There are no interior photos of this unit, so I will so my best to give you a tour… picture a walk-up unit – eliminating anyone above you possibly making noise – walk into a spacious Living Room with Fireplace, Balcony and Vaulted Ceilings – Lead into the Kitchen with Breakfast Bar, pantry and Dinning Room with views of the woods - also, one of the 3 bedrooms in on this level – which has been converted into a study with shelving on all four walls – lastly, 1/2 a bath. Moving on up to the 2nd floor to 2 Bedrooms and a Full Bath. This unit also includes a garage!

From the Lakewood complex, my client and I headed to view 4 more townhouses in the Shepherd Hill complex – which is a hop and a skip from I-84. I always enjoy viewing identical models – but all so different with each owners choices in flooring, paint, furniture,…
Afterwards, I had a quick lunch at home and went to the office until my afternoon appointment – a home in Patterson, NY. After my client left, I went to pre-view a neighborhood in Quail Ridge – also in Patterson…
On my way home, I added more listing sheets to the brochure box outside, in front of one of my listings…
~~~~ CLICK Here to View Listing Sheet ~~~~
Before dinner, I decided to try something out. I had read that to take a great exterior photo of a home, wait 1/2 an hour after sunset, turn on all the lights of the windows that will be photographed – and snap a picture…
Well, I’m going to try this again. This time I have to turn on the lights in 4 other areas of the house.
After dinner, it was Bunco in New Fairfield!

Day 182:
CLOSING DAY! My clients have a big day today – they are closing on their first home in Brewster, NY!
But first, I have a lovely Doctors appointment that I must attend also in Brewster.
Here is my view of the ceiling while I was waiting for the Doc to come in…
Then – my fear and worry of being at the doctors office changed to full excitment for my wonderful – and I really mean wonderful – clients. Here I am at the closing in Mr. Hogan’s office in Brewster…
My Life as a Realtor – Day 178
My Life as a Realtor ~
Day 178:
Looks as though the market is beginning to pick up now after the holidays. I have a few scheduled appointments with my listings and have noticed more activity in viewings on Listing Book in New York and especially with my listings in Connecticut. This makes me smile – along with today being Friday!!
Did a few errands – then worked from home. My poor laptop never gets a break. While at home, I took a few pics of our pets playing around at home…
Moe hiding at the top of the stairs leading to Melissa’s room. As I walked by, he tried swiping at my head. For some reason Remi is afraid to climb up…
So he hangs out and waits for Moe to come down so he can chase him around the entire house…
Tisha preferred to hang out with me while I made my bed. She wants nothing to do with Remi and Moe’s cat and dog game.

Today I was able to get some work accomplished before heading out. Our first stop was A&P in Brewster, NY…
My mom pushing the cart
Then a quick stop at Brewster Liquors for some Portuguese wine…
Terra dos Lobo – Red Wine (Translation – Land of the Wolves)
We enjoyed some Chinese Food for lunch – then went to one of our favorite stores – HomeGoods – and a quick stop at Walmart in Danbury, CT.

A nice day, spent with my mom – then it was back home and back to work.
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.
