Best Part of a Good Listing Presentation A very important part of your listing presentation is being able to show the seller client how your marketing will be better than the next agent.    It is very important to show the seller that you are up to speed with your use of the internet.  There are many new sites for advertising and showcasing your seller's homes.    Sellers like to see their homes everywhere - in print, on the internet, on social media, etc. How is your marketing?   Do you do the same as every other agent in town and the area?   The smart new agent will be on the internet, marketing their seller's homes. Through the use of blogging, social media, online media, and additional sites available, I have found my marketing to be ahead of the rest of the crowd.  This is an examp...

Trumbull, CT, High School Sports Calendar - Go Girls' Soccer! When I was in high school, everyone went to the football games.  A few people went to the boys' soccer games.  The girls' sports?  Perhaps a few mothers would attend.  In Trumbull, CT, girls' soccer has been a powerful force for years.  It's a wonderful thing. Aunt Julia and Uncle Mike with Jackie and Christy on Easter, a long time ago! My two nieces, Jackie and Christy, are talented young ladies who played varsity soccer for Trumbull High School.  We enjoyed going to many of their games, and frequently traveled for the championship matches.  They, and the team, enjoyed huge successes.  The important lessons of teamwork, good sportsmanship, and how to be gracious when winning as well as losing, have stood them well over time....

Backpack Give Back Campaign for Area Children/Trumbull, CT:  School Supply Lists Sometimes, I think it's all about the backpack.  Sporty, pretty, or trendy, it's one more item the child can select that reflects their personality.  My heart breaks, however, when I see these kids staggering home, under overstuffed packs bursting with homework.  Someday, I'm sure, everything will be done online, with ebooks and tablets. However, we live in the present, which requires backpacks.  But DON'T get one that's too large!  Check your school's supply list.  Most will tell you how large the lockers are, so you can be sure the pack will fit! Not every family can afford the necessary school supplies.  Here's how you can help: Local radio station, WICC 600, and the St. Vincent's Medical Center, are spo...

Get Your Trumbull, CT, School Calendar Here:  It's Back To School Time! (My sister, Annette, is carefully placing her lunch box next to our brother's, Andy, just so.  That's my friend, Libby, and me.  Those were the days of plaid, calico, and smocking.) The Trumbull, CT, school system has long enjoyed an excellent reputation.  We have nine nieces and nephews who have benefited from the education and opportunities afforded them in this wonderful, family-oriented town in Fairfield County.  It's hard to believe that the Back-to-School sales have already begun.  School buses are patrolling the streets, as drivers practice their routes.  Our good friends and neighbors, Jackie and David, are both teachers.  They're spending time getting lesson plans and classrooms ready for the new year.  All...

There are so many reasons why folks (especially those with schoolage children) flock to Trumbull CT (located in northern Fairfield County) only 60 minutes to New York City - the home values are great compared to other towns in lower fairfield county - our schools have a great reputation, our Parks are second to none, and we are ideally located within minutes to major highways for commuters.  Today in the Connecticut Post, there was a very in-depth article comparing the CAPT test results (taken by all highschool sophmores) for area highschools.  Aside from Regional 9 which includes Easton and Redding--Trumbull students overall do very well. If you are thinking of moving and want to see what Trumbull has to offer, I am an expert in the local real estate market.  My days are spent previewi...

Trumbull CT Single Family Real Estate Market Report for June 2011 Trumbull CT single family home sales for June 2011 EXPLODED compared to May 2011.   Total number of houses sold went UP 110%.    Compared to the same period last year, average list and selling prices showed decreases of 6% and 5% respectively.  The median showed a 13% decrease.   In this analysis (next chart), sales went down 16% as compared to June 2010.  However, we have to keep in mind that June 2010 was the deadline for closings for the homebuyer tax credit, so sales were artificially high. A real stunner is the market absorption coming in at 5 months, again using comparison data from June 2010 to June 2011.  Five months is solidly in a SELLER's MARKET, somewhere we have not been quite some time.   Trumbull CT June 20...
