There's More to Selling Your Home than a "For Sale" Sign In Your Front Yard: Beware.
 

Even if a simple sign in your yard did produce a buyer knocking on your door, how will you handle the following questions: 

"How does your home compare to others like it in Stamford, Greenwich and New Canaan?" 

"How did you determine the fair market value of this property?" 

"What about financing? Can you help?" 

"If I make an offer, who will draw up the paperwork?" 

"Why aren't you using a Realtor? Is there something wrong with the property?" 

"Since you aren't using a Realtor, we can take their fee right off the top, right?" 

Selling your home is one of the most important financial transactions you will make in your life. Don't take risks. Selling your home is nothing like selling a car. Every home is different, and every homebuyer wants to offer you as little as possible. How do you determine the real market value? 

Almost all homes are sold using a Realtor. As a top real estate professional, it is my job to help you negotiate with all those buyers who want something for nothing. Not to mention preparing your home for sale, marketing it locally in Stamford, Greenwich and New Canaan and even nationally, and guiding you through the complex paperwork and pitfalls of escrow and closing. Make sure you are really ready to handle all of that before pounding that sign into your front yard. Errors can be extremely costly. 

Remember: Buyers want to offer you as close to nothing as possible! While that "For Sale By Owner" sign might sound like a good idea, it usually means a different thing to buyers: "Try to steal this one." 

If you must sell your own home, at least let me give you a sense of its true market value. Tell me a bit about your home, and I'll do a quick Comparative Market Analysis and let you know what I feel it is worth. I'll also describe, as an experienced, top Stamford, Greenwich and New Canaan Realtor, how I would market your property. This is free, with no strings attached. Simply fill out the form and I will quickly get back to you...

Real Estate Tips
Financing Your Home >Bridge Loans

What if you hear one day that the house you have coveted for years is on the market. Out of curiosity, you might call your real estate agent and arrange to see if the inside of your dream house is as terrific as the outside. It is, and you fall in love with the place. The sellers need a relatively fast settlement, and are not in a position to accept an offer that is contingent on selling your home before closing on the new one. While you are confident your house will sell fairly quickly, you cannot be sure in a fluctuating market.

A bridge loan might be your solution. Many lenders specialize in providing short term loans for just this type of situation. The principal and interest is paid back when you close the sale of your present house. If the market in your area is strong and there is a good possibility of selling your home quickly, or if you are willing to offer your home at a price that will make it attractive in a sluggish market, then a bridge loan is a tool that could make the home you love a real possibility. A good real estate agent and a knowledgeable loan officer are the team you need to work it out.

Born and raised in Co. Leitrim, Ireland I grew up on a dairy farm and was the youngest of six children. I went to elementary school in a two-room schoolhouse and later cycled six miles to and from high school each day! Life was simple, and my after school activities consisted of helping on the farm with feeding the calves, milking the cows and picking vegetables and turf for the fire. I was very connected to nature at the time! I can remember back to when the first electric light was installed in our house and when my father got his first car- it was a Ford! Both of these events were major milestones in my life and all of my childhood experiences have made me who I am today.

I immigrated to Stamford, CT in May 1968 and have never looked back (other than my yearly visits once or twice a year). When I arrived here, Stamford was not at all like it is today, and communication was completely different. To stay in touch with life back in Ireland I wrote 2-3 letters per week because the phones were a rarity. Stamford was a small industrial city and the average home value was about $25,000, and a direct waterfront could be found for $75,000- $100,000! Too bad I didn’t have money then!

In 1970 I met my husband, Kevin, and we dated for about 3 years, got engaged and on March 10, 1973 we got married. When I got married that was when I got my first taste of real estate by managing 40 garden apartments which consisted of qualifying, leasing and maintaining the entire complex. I got my real estate license in 1976, but decided to stay home with my daughter and be a stay-at-home Mom.

For the last 20 years I have dedicated myself to making the emotions of real estate and the moving process as painless as possible. I pride myself in listing, selling, marketing, negotiating and closing the best deals for my clients. I am established leader in Fairfield County Real Estate. I have been a consistent top producer ranking #1 in both units sold and closed dollar volume for the past 20 years. I believe that real estate is all about family and having built my business by being known as “The Matchmaker” – Matching Homes with Families and Families with Homes, I have proven success. I cover everything from the first-time buyer and renter to luxury homes and waterfronts along with condo and commercial developing. I feel as though my diversity allows me to understand and best suit my clients growing needs. I also believe in a strong work ethic and commitment to clear and effective communication.

Today I live in North Stamford and have 3 children. Denise works full time with me and got married to Henri 3 years ago and they recently had my “pride and joy” Bridget Kate, who is 15 months. Denise graduated from Westhill High School and Fairfield University with a Bachelors of Arts in Economics and minors in Biology and Psychology in 1997. Today she is my office administrator and licensed buyer specialist. We are very fortunate to have an extremely strong friendship that we are able to carry over into the business and a common business ideal based upon top commitment and service to our clients.

My older son, Kevin, is currently a senior at Dickinson College. Kevin is focused on school, ice hockey, water polo, lacrosse and is working on becoming an Emergency Medical Technician. Kevin graduated in 2003 from the Canterbury School in New Milford, CT. My younger son, Eamon, is a senior at the Canterbury School.
