Memorial Day: A Waterbury History   Memorial Day, originally known as Decoration Day, was a day established by former Civil War Union veterans to commemorate those who died in the struggle to save the Union. Started on May 30, 1868, Decoration Day was commemorated in the northern states until the turn of the century, and throughout the country thereafter. After World War I, the day was set to include those who participated in all wars in which Americans served and died. The term “Memorial Day” was first used in 1882, but did not become the common name for Decoration Day until after World War II. Memorial Day was officially designated a national holiday in 1971. In Waterbury, there are several monuments and memorials commemorating those who died in the service of our country from the Wat...

It's inherent in human nature to try and get a deal on a purchase. This will always be the case in real estate as buyers will call the name on the yard sign believing they can get a better deal than if they use a buyer's agent to assist them. The belief is that if there is only one agent in the transaction then the seller will lower the price, as there is only one commission to pay. Although this does happen if the seller and agent have agreed to a lesser commission if the property gets sold by the listing agent, more often than not if it can cost the buyer much more.     The primary loyalty of the listing agent is to the seller. Even though we know what their bottom line might be, we still need to get as much for the listing as we possibly can. When a prospective buyer asks ‘What is t...

We're trying to get a young first time buyer couple to the closing table without adding to their down the road burdens. The problem is that what we would like to do isn't permissible. The inspection brought up some items that do not directly effect the ability to close on time or the quality of life the young couple will enjoy. What it does do, however, is cause them to postpone doing some repairs to the home, detached garage, etc until they can come up with the money. The conventional alternatives would be to request seller concessions, which raises the mortgage and has a cap of 6% with an FHA mortgage. The other alternative would be to get a 203K rehab loan, which is not much different to the overall mortgage than seller concessions. What we really need is a seller gift, or cash back...

It's Mother's Day, May 9, 2010 and so many of us will give her a kiss, maybe take her out to dinner, say a prayer for her if she's not here to be appreciated. Mother's are a special group of people, Their heart's are exceptionally large as they seldon remember the bad we've done They seldom forget to tell their friends about the good we've done They're constantly there to support and love us and when they're not around we feel the void. I remember years ago I got a special Mother's Day card for Mom. She opened it with love, and read it carefully, and then let me know ''I never did that!"  Happy Mother's Day Mom, I found that card again!
