My Life as a Realtor – Day 45

My Life as a Realtor ~

Day 45:

Interesting day today. Things are thankfully moving along with my clients offer on a Foreclosure. Met with my other client to get his signature for a price reduction. A beautiful home – with water views of Ball Pond in New Fairfield – the listing price is now…. CLICK here to find out!

Then off to Brewster to the office – and a trip to A & P , the HSBC Bank and Rite Aid and to gas up.

While I was in A & P – a client – who I assisted in purchasing her home in Patterson – called to have me send her a listing for a friend. It was very nice to hear from her again. I always like when clients call or e-mail from time to time with an update on how things are going in their new home – always a pleasure.

When I arrived home, that’s when all the fun began…. Asthma kicked in full force and since it’s been acting up alot lately, I called my Doctor – too late, her office was closed – so off to Danbury Hospital – Melissa drove and I thought it would be to get a simple injection of steroids. Well, the joke was on me – when hearing that my chest felt as though someone was sitting on it – they whisked me off into a room in the ER – gave me a gown – a gown I thought! I just want an injection – but that wasn’t happening – an EKG, Blood Work and a Chest X-Ray later – I was finally given my shot and discharged – Whew! Although, I must admit that it was better to be safe, and now I have peace of mind knowing my heart and lungs are fine – no issues. Also, Melissa and I had a few laughs when one of the nurses came in with a tray a food. I really thought I wasn’t going home any time soon!

After being well taken care by ALL of the Danbury Hospital Staff – Melissa drove me home. Poor thing still had to go into work at around 9:30 til after midnight to help straighten up and get the store ready for tomorrow – Hollister at the Danbury Fair Mall. I ate some dinner, then went to my clients home to change the listing price on the sheets that are placed in a brochure box near the For Sale sign outside for any interested pass-byers. I couldn’t wait until tomorrow – so off Amanda and I went at 10:15 in the evening – it would have bothered me that I did’nt go.

GETTING TO KNOW ME

As a full time REALTOR in Westchester, Putnam and Dutchess counties in NEW YORK – and Fairfield and parts of Litchfield counties in CONNECTICUT , I am very pleased to have the opportunity to share my passions on REAL ESTATE, FAMILY, PETS, anything and everything in and around a HOME – including COOKING, MOVIES, MUSIC and more!

I have been married for 25+ years to my wonderful husband Joe. We have 5 children – Melissa, David, Amanda, Sara and Jonathan. After waiting anxiously – for almost 17 years, being home with my kids for 10 and a Nursery school teacher for 7 years – I FINALLY became a Licensed Realtor – first in Connecticut – where my family and I live – and then in New York – where my office, Century 21 V.J.F. Realty is located.

I was born and raised in Mt. Vernon, New York. My parents, who came to the US from Portugal, were extremely hard working – with even stronger ethics on being good to everyone – everywhere – period! “Faz bem, nao olhes a quem.” This has been instilled in me all my life, which has made me the mother, wife, daughter, sister, friend and the REALTOR I am today. Thank You Ma and Papa.
