It is that time of year again! The Playwright in New Haven will be hosting their 3rd annual Halloween 5k road race to benefit the Yale-New Haven Children's Hospital. October is a great time to run in Connecticut with crisp morning temperatures. The forecast for Sunday is calling for a warm up into the 50's but we may have some rain. 
What: Playwright Halloween 5k & Kids' Fun Run
When: Sunday - October 26, 2007 - 10:15 am
Where: 144 Temple St, New Haven, CT
My first run this year was on January 1st in Guilford at the Frosty 5k were we also had rain prior to the race but it stopped just before race time and turned out to be my quickest 5k ever.
The New Haven course for this Sunday's event is flat & fast but some folks will be slow and silly in their festive costumes. I neglected to prepare a Halloween outfit for the race so maybe I will pull out my ActiveRain shirt and go as "The Running Realtor".
I'm always running around New Haven County so if you need assistance Buying or Selling a home in my territory just remember to google CT's Running Realtor.

Today I ran into a series written by an up & coming runner and a downhill racer by the name of Beth Forbes but the Re-Blog feature didn’t allow me to alter the title so I will do it my way and add the occupation of Realtor.
The Real Estate Agent plays many roles in a transaction involving the sale and or purchase of property and the duties vary during different stages. Here I will use the example of a prospective Homebuyer that contacts the Realtor and would like to see one of the agent’s listings.
It is very rare that the prospective Homebuyer will love that first house and write up an offer but it is often the start of a three to six month relationship between the parties. Initially the Realtor will ask some probing questions to determine how best to serve the prospect. The Real Estate Agent needs to know the type, location and price range of the property that will meet the buyer’s need.
If the Homebuyer has not discussed financing with a Loan Officer the Realtor will often provide a few recommendations of Loan Officers they know with a proven record of providing high quality service. For more information about the financing aspects of the transaction read Beth's series linked below.
With a Pre-Qualification or preferably a Pre-Approval Letter in hand the Homebuyer is ready to move ahead on the journey to become a Homeowner. At this stage the Real Estate Agent will be sifting through hundreds of homes for sale in order to find the one that meet the Homebuyer's criteria. The duration of the process can be a few days or a few months depending on market conditions and the Homebuyer's list of requirements.
Once a house is found the Realtor will write up the Purchase Offer and present it to the seller or their agent. Assuming negotiations go well it ends with the Homebuyer and Homeseller agreeing on the terms of the sale. The Real Estate Agent will then get in touch with the Homebuyer's Loan Officer for a continuation of the process outlined in Beth's Series while concurrently coordinating other pieces of the deal.
Beyond financing most homebuyers will use a Home Inspector to provide a detailed physical report of the home's condition. The Real Estate Agent can also provide recommendations if a buyer needs the names of qualified inspectors.
At this stage the Realtor has assisted the Homebuyer in finding a property, negotiated the deal, provided copies of the contract to the Buyer & Loan Officer, attended the inspection and ironed out any problems. The Real Estate Agent will also monitor dates to make sure everything remains on track for the closing which is usually 30-60 days after the Sales Agreement.

The month of September was filled with gloom and doom from government officials who foolishly decided pumping 700 billion into Wall Street was the solution. The stock market continues to slide downward and big banks are bickering about who gets to take over the fallen financial institutions. With all that bull about it being nearly impossible to get credit I will pull a quote from the front page of today's New Haven Register, "But even against that backdrop, Connecticut-based banks are faring well and have money to lend".
Single family homes sales continue to be sluggish. September volume was down 20% from last year with 59 homes closing in my 5 primary towns. The lower priced communities on North Haven & North Branford actually saw in increase in the number of homes sold compared to last year while Branford, Guilford & Madison had less.

This is a great site I discovered a few years ago after a several months of fitness walking evolved into my interest in running. Since I have always been somewhat of a numbers nut tracking my time and mileage was important to me so while searching for a better way to figure out my distance I stumbled in
to America's Running Routes.
Last week while on vacation in Fort Myers Beach was the first time I used the site to select a route. On the west coast of Florida the sun doesn't rise as early as I'm accustom to in New England so I was up early waiting for dawn so I could begin my first run on the sand. Since I was staying towards the northern end of the island I estimated the journey to the starting point of the mapped route and back would be about 7 miles which was what my training plan called for that day.
As the sun attempted to break out a dark cloud seemed to be following me as I approached the 3-1/2 mile mark. The "awesome beach run" listed on America's Running Routes turned out to be a decent change of pace for me since I never run on sand. There is not traffic to worry about but you do need to pay attention to each step. Along the way I passed a few sand castles and seveal deep holes that could easily result in a broken leg.
On the return run the distant rainbow was pointing the way to my pot of gold. Unfortunately to reach that point I did have to endure the wind and rain. My expectation of a flat easy run was not exactly as anticipated but this was only the first of five outings I planned to for each morning of my summer vacation.
Where ever you travel in the United States it's easy to find a good running route or a good Realtor. If you need assistance relocating to the Connecticut Shoreline contact me, Dan@CummingsTeam.com or call my Access Line at 203-672-2455

Welcome to my personal profile page. This site offers an interactive opportunity to learn more about the Connecticut Shoreline Real Estate market and me. My blog postings offer a variety of subjects from personal interests to real estate tips.
As you can see by the photo's my latest endeavor includes running. This started in the fall of 2005 as casual dinner conversation with friends and evolved into a year round hobby. In 2007 my goal was to finish a Half Marathon so in June I ran the Fairfield Half. As 2008 started my goal was undefined but one of the first pieces of mail I received was from the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society inviting me to learn more about their Team in Training. At the information session I joined their team as a fundraiser and runner completing the 26.2 mile Rock-n-Roll Marathon in June. 2009 started with my third marathon in Miami and I am continuing my work with TNT as a mentor and will push myself to the next level in January 2010 at Disney's Goofy Challenge. That event involves running a Half Marathon on Saturday morning then getting up Sunday morning to complete a Full for total of 39.3 miles.
Professionally my career included 25 years in an Engineering & Manufacturing environment before joining my wife in Real Estate. We now work as the CummingsTeam of William Raveis Real Estate. With us you receive a blended perspective of life in New Haven County.
My Half Marathon training coupled with being a lifelong resident of the Greater New Haven area gives me the stamina to cover a wide range of towns. Primarily I concentrate on the shoreline towns of Branford, Guilford and Madison plus North Branford and North Haven.
The five towns noted about provide a demographic that will meet the need of most clients. If someone prefers a less suburban setting I am very familiar with the cities of New Haven, East Haven & West Haven to help find the right home.
You can search homes for sale by clicking the town below. For more comprehensive information just drop me an email of phone call with your criteria and I will provide custom results.

" Recently my wife and I sold our home of sixteen years using your company as our realtor. The agent was Daniel Cummings out of your Guilford office. Dan was the agent for both the sale side and purchase side of our new home.
I wanted to let you know how pleased we were with the professional manner that Mr. Cummings exhibited throughout the entire process. His work ethic is to be commended, and his gentle, yet assertive nature should be used as a role model for all realtors.
My wife and I did meet a few other realtors at showings, and we were both amazed at the difference between them and Dan Cummings. Dan was always prompt, neatly dressed, honest, and put our best interest first. He is a credit to your profession.
I hope you will recongnize this man's dedication and commitment to your firm. He is someone whose excellent work should not go unnoticed. "
