Lovely couple with two little ones, is joining the community of Glastonbury, Ct.  Due to a job relocation, they moved from Connecticut to another state, a few years ago.  Now, the job market has brought them back to us, here in Glastonbury, Ct. The location is perfect for their commutes to work, shopping and local entertainment.  I found this home for them, quite by accident.  The husband was working while they were here for a week.  I showed his family homes in several towns and the three homes that made the A list were revisited with the husband.  One home that they loved, once the both viewed it, went under deposit within minutes of our showing.  That was a disappointment, but, the Seller of that home chose not to wait for our offer.  It happens. I advised my clients that it was a ho...

Just Closed ~ Classic Colonial in Glastonbury CT   This beautiful house at 309 Farmcliff Drive, Glastonbury CT just closed! The house is set up on a hill with fantastic rock structures in the front yard and a broad expanse of lush grass in the back yard. The neighborhood is just stunning with many beautiful stone walls and a quiet serenity.     The house itself is a four-bedroom, 2.1-bath home with 2176 sq. ft.  Not included in the square footage, however, is a large sun room (11x23) overlooking the backyard, which can be used throughout the year. Among the most stunning features of this house is the massive center chimney for the home's three fireplaces. The exposed brick walls, wide plank flooring, and dark wood mouldings and woodwork give the home its reproduction look.   The list pr...

  A few weeks ago I achieved the #1 spot in my town on the AR leader board.  Seemed like a milestone I would never reach.   Recently, I had the idea of looking at ActiveRain as if I was a prospective buyer or seller.  What would they see?  How would my profile look? What did my ranking look like to them? What was I saying to them? I was shocked at what I saw when I typed in my town. After months of dedication to get to that top spot, another local Realtor’s face and blog was everywhere on the same page. In fact, if I were a buyer or seller, I probably would be more impressed with seeing that Realtor’s apparent “status” than my own. This puzzled me. How did that happen? Why aren’t my posts in these spots? How can I be sure I am getting noticed? I sent AR tech support a quick email – most...

This beautiful condo in Surrey Hill Condo Complex in Glastonbury sold in less than 2 weeks on the market at $206,000.  The condo was priced right at $214,900 and had all the bells and whistles. The Surrey Hill Condo owner took my staging advice and even completed a remodel of a family bathroom to meet the remodeled other 2 bathrooms.   Proving that a well prepared condo with the right offering price will sell in Surrey Hill Condos . When you are at the finish line, you must go that last little stretch...buyers know values and they want condos in move in condition or they will pass on making an offer.  This buyer saw the value and made an offer that worked for everyone!
