If A Rental seems Too Good to be True, it Probably Isn’t. I received a phone call from a person asking to meet up with me so they could get the keys to one of my listings. They explained that they had rented the house from the owners and were going to be there until the house was sold. They knew the names of the owners and explained that the owners could not meet with them as they were out of the country. They did not believe me when I explained to them that the owners were not out of the country and were in fact living less than a mile away from the house in a rental unit. These people had put up first month and security deposit and sent it by Western Union to the sellers. They explained that they had sent $1,100 dollars and were told they could move in right away.

A Bit of Relief, Once upon a Time Earlier this week, I was getting a flat tire on a brand new tire repaired, although not as quickly as I would have liked. I walked outside of the facility located on Lakewood Rd in Waterbury just to enjoy a bit of the spring sunshine. I had been on this road many a time but this bit of reprieve allowed me to see something I had passed for years. This stretch of road is a level piece atop a road with 2 steep grades each way. There would have been a time when many a traveler with a team of horses would have stopped to rest and maybe look for a way to refresh. This home had a way of helping travelers on the route. I'm sure there may have been a bucket to prime that pump, as well as a trough and pan to refresh. As there were less horses and more horseless c... 04/06/2014

Hidden Gems That Add Value to a Home And Help Close a Sale few years back I had gotten an opportunity to meet with a frustrated Waterbury CT home owner because he was not able to sell his home. Built in 1948, it was a stately 3 bedroom colonial that would make a wonderful home for someone. The issues was that the kitchen had been updated, but that was all. He and his wife had moved in shortly after they had gotten married, raised 2 children and had hoped to grow old together in the home. His wife took sick and after a long illness passed. The house was dated, with the wallpaper, old baths, etc. We had to discuss the wallpaper, the baths and the true market value of the home. While discussing what buyers find attractive in homes currently the mention of hardwood came up. The the seller m... 02/10/2014
