This doesn't just apply to Realtors but also to other professionals dealing with Milford CT real estate and properties in other areas as well. My son has helped me a lot with the creation of my website, and while things are still in the beginning stages, we've already managed to acquire a few le...

Maybe I should write a blog the night before every upcoming "snowfall". I'm so happy that the snow melted instantly. Thankfully the heavy snowfall didn't occur as my husband, who usually operates the big snowblower, just had surgery on his hand, although I'm sure my son would've been able to pull...

This has to be ridiculous. We're already in spring, and it'll be snowing tomorrow here in Connecticut? Mother nature, why are you messing with our heads? Lately, it's been hard to see any consistency in weather here in our area. Some days it's t-shirt weather and then you have days like tomorrow....

So with an upcoming Milford CT real estate listing, my son has put together his Nikon DSLR to use, and the pictures are looking pretty good so far. However, this is the first time he's taken pictures for a listing with his new photography setup, compared to the barebones point and shoot we used b...

Yesterday, I went to a Milford CT real estate inspection with my son, who was shadowing me for the day. When I was using my Supra Key to open the lockbox, there was a really long delay.

Do you hold your open houses on days of the week...

Have you heard about this song/video? Did you see it on Good Morning America this morning? Sure, it's not a good song, but I'll admit it's insanely catchy. For some reason it just puts me in a good mood despite the "substance" (or lack of it?) of the song. Sometimes you just need to let your guar...

I have a client who I met last night to sign some documents. She asked me if she is the worst of all my clients. She is on the picky side regarding the style of houses in mind, but she knows what she wants. Knowing how much of a commitment it is to buy a new house, I want my clients to be all for...

Yes, I'm pretty much halfway through my month long blogging challenge. At first, I thought it'd be hard to come up with blog ideas every day, but there's always something that will come up at some point in the day, whether bright and early in the morning or just before I go to bed. I look forward...

As I've been getting deeper and deeper into marketing on the internet and Search Engine Optimization, I've been wondering how you all feel about internet marketing and the tried-and-true direct mailing. I'm beginning to lower my efforts and budget in direct mailing in order to focus more on my in...
