Nobody Knows Homes Better

goodlivingct Even though I can be quiet and low key. I need to take a moment to give a shout out and big up to my sister @thisis_alinag @alinagtherealtor she found a way to impact the community in a big way with her daycare center. She hustled to obtain a grant from the State of Connecticut to expand the daycare footprint and doubled the amount of children she and her team could serve. What an example of a Strong Latina. Did I mention she is also doing this alongside my niece @arianaspinelli_ So happy Governor Ned Lamont, Mayor Joe Ganim and State Rep. Chris Rosario and others saw the beautiful daycare center that you have built. May God keep blessing you and allowing you to impact and change lives and the community. #proudbrother

goodlivingct New CT State Law. If you wanna sell your home privately, your agents need to make certain that you sign a disclosure explaining that you could be leaving significant amount of money on the table. The video has an example that was cited in the CT Insider where a homeowner in the Silvermine section of Norwalk first intended to sell their home privately leaving it off systems like Zillow Realtor.com and the MLS. After their agent encouraged them to not sell their home that way they had over 100 visitors and resulted in getting 35 offers and eventually sold the home for over $1 million over the asking price. Would you sell your home privately and potentially leave money on the table or would you go with the bidding war? #connecticutrealestate #goodlivingct #nobodyknowshomesbetter #connecticutrealtor

goodlivingct 5 signs it may be time to make a move 🏡➡️ Sometimes the signs are obvious. Sometimes they build slowly over time. Maybe your home no longer fits your lifestyle, maybe life has changed, or maybe you have been saying “maybe next year” for a little too long. A lot of homeowners sit on the idea of moving before they finally act on it. But recognizing the signs early can help you make a smarter plan, understand your options, and move on your terms — not when you feel stuck. 💡 If even one or two of these signs sound familiar, it may be time to start the conversation. 🔑 #HomeSellingTips #RealEstateAdvice #ConnecticutRealEstate #MoveUpSeller

goodlivingct 666 Ogden Street was a 2 family home and we lived on the 2nd floor. One day I was sitting on the fire escape (red staircase on right side) I would sit on the top and dangle my legs off the end. When day I got startled 😮 and ended up falling 2 flights. By the Grace of God I did not get seriously injured. I was in the neighborhood because of a rental listing. #blessed.
