New MLS System for Fairfield County in CT? Wow!    We in Fairfield County, CT are about to revolutionize our MLS System!     It has been years and years!   But, didn't they just upgrade the new Paragon?    Why did they do that to then just trash it?   They are introducing the new Matrix MLS System - anyone out there using it?   In the summer of 2012, we in Fairfield County (GFC) will catch up and have a fabulous new system to learn and use.   We have to date been using PC Access and Explorer, and more recently, Paragon. Apparently, Matrix is easy to use, very fast, and includes robust and flexible functionality.  It also fully supports sales teams and all internet browsers, including Firefox, Safari, Internet Explorer, and Google Chrome.  It is fully functional on PCs, MACs, tablets, an...

The Town of Wilton CT 06897 will start cleaning up the town after the incredibly destructive storm last week.   They are asking residents to please pile their debris and branches by the side of the road, not in the road, and the town DPW crews will be by to chip and take away the piles.  They will begin next week, and over the next 4-6 weeks, will make one pass at each street in town.  The Town of Wilton's Department Of Public Works will start this coming Monday and chip as much as possible, and will take away the larger limbs, etc.   They are asking that folks not pile anything in the streets, but rather at the side of the street, so they can easily chip the limbs.   In my thirty-eight years of living in Wilton, I have never been aware of an announcement of this type before.

Amazing Unnamed Storm Did More Damage in Wilton CT than Hurricane Irene! Wilton CT was hit yesterday with a storm that put five times more homes out of electricity than did the fury of Hurricane Irene.    Amazing!   They are saying that the state of CT has almost 800,000 homes out of power.    There are more trees down from this storm, and in most cases, it was not the wind, - it was the weight of the snow.   There are parts of Wilton and New Canaan that may be out of power for a week, so they say on the radio.    If you are lucky enough to live near town, or on a main through road, you may be the first streets back with power.    We are lucky that we have all of our power lines underground on our street, and our street is off of a main street in Wilton.   We were out of power very quic...

Statistics for Brokerages   It was just announced in Real Trends (a group that does lots of research in the real estate markets' statistics) that over 44 % of the real estate brokerage offices in the nation were now running a deficit from year to year.  Some were in debt so much that it will take them several years of fantastic profits to regain the "black."      I find this an interesting statistic, and a little scary, since I just opened my own brokerage, Dagny's Real Estate LLC, this year.   The dynamite web site is getting better and better every day, as I load new content in each day.    I blog each day, which brings business to me, I market my listings weekly, I am very pro active in the community, have a local column and market my real estate brokerage, Dagny's Real Estate LLC,  ...

This morning, I'm going to one of favorite Active Rainer's homes - Dagny Eason - So we can film our 60 second elevator speech.  I'm used to doing these for BNI, but really not crazy about videotaping it. I don't really know how to do that video thing nor do I have a video camera, but I figured if I went to Dagny's, she would help me.  And, maybe I can help her - maybe I can film her or maybe I can help her w/ SEO or something.  This is what good Active Rain buddies are for. Unfortunately, my hair doesn't look great...it's too bad I couldn't do this 2 weeks ago after I had my hair styled for my cousin's wedding, but I was way too busy that week.  We have to get this done by the end of the month, so c'est la vie on the hair.  I told Dagny that this one is fine to do for the contest, but w...

Village Walk Condos Are In High Demand in Wilton, CT 06897  and are  a great spot for home buyers needing a fabulous spot in town.   They have great square footage, most units are updated, and the majority have garages and extra parking.   The pool is centrally located, and easy to get to.   The home owners' association has made sure the place has been very well maintained.

Glen Ridge Condominiums in Wilton CT 06897The center of Wilton has several condo complexes on River Road, very walkable to stores, the train, restaurants, movies, etc.     One of these nice condo complexes is named Glen River.    However, as one drives through the center of Wilton, and wanders down River Road, it comes to mind that there are a lot of condominium complexes with the same name.    On the left one sees Glen Side East, on the right one sees Glen River , and as you drive in, you are greeted with another sign of  Glen View, and then Glen Ridge.   What is it and where is it?   Very confusing, but one of the nicer reasonable complexes in town.    Apparently, each section has its own name. The Glen Side East is across the road, on the southeast side of River Road, sharing the ent...
