During the course of the year, I received calls on the Touch a Truck Fundraidser that was held in town last year. I have some GREAT news.....
The Touch a Truck Fundraiser was such a success last year, that the town of Cromwell, CT is having this event again this year. The money being raised build and maintain playscapes at the elementary schools in town. Right now the children have a playscape at Woodside Intermediate School thanks to the help of this program. Money is still needed for a new playscape at Edna C. Stevens.
On Saturday, September 19th, (raindate September 20th) from 10:00am to 3:00pm, the Children's Committee "Project Recess Rescue" is going to hold the fundraiser again" in efforts to raise money for playground equipment at Edna C. Stevens. Admission to the event this year is $8.00.
So come on over to Pierson Park on West Street in Cromwell, CT. The young children will be able to touch, and sit in one of many vehicles, such as a firetruck, police vehicles, landscaping truck, oil trucks, and construction trucks.. or for the older children how about a Mercdes? You never know what vehicle might show up.
Free food and bottled water will be provided by the 99 Restaurant. There will also be face painting, temp tattoos, crafts, and Dance and Grove with Mr. Gym.

For all the prospective buyers out there looking to buy their first home this year due to the $8,000 tax incentive, let me give you a heads up.
With being a first time home buyer, usually you are looking to purchase a condo...for good reason. You might not be quiet ready to take on all the responsiblity of a single family home, or your work/life schedule is just too busy to do so.
I am working with two buyers at the moment that are both looking to purchase a condo and have qualified going CHFA/FHA. This also makes sense since you will only need to put down around 3.5% for a down payment. Who being a first-time home buyer has 15 to 20%?
Just to let you know, both buyers have found condo units they have fallen in love with... but neither is FHA approved. Yes, I checked this first and thought there could be a spot approved for one. Come to find out, once I've spoken with the listing agent, these condo complexes have "Right of First Refusal". Which does NOT meet the guidelines of FHA. So, in these cases the only ones that can buy these condo units are people who are qualified for conventional loans.
Now I am checking with all listing agents or the property management if any condos my clients would like to see, that if they are NOT FHA approved, do NOT have the Right of First Approval. To see them knowing they have this in place, would be a waste of everyones time.. and no need to get clients excited about a home they just can't have.
What really is sad, is that for the most part realtors have either no idea if the complex they have listed a unit in has "Right of First Refusal".. or what this even is. So sad. With the constant changes in the rules and regs for mortgages, I would like we should all take note of this.

Thursday, June 11th from 11:30am to 4:00pm
The Third Congregational Church on 94 Miner Street in Middletown, CT is holding its annual Strawberry Shortcake Festival, tomorrow, Thursday, June 11th from 11:30am to 4:00pm.
This festival has been going on for over 120 years.. yes, you heard me correctly 120 years. People in the area look forward to this event every year. The strawberries are native to the area and picked fresh. Now picture this on top of a homemade biscuit, and REAL HOMEMADE WHIPPED CREAM. My mouth is salvating already.
If you haven't been by, tomorrow is your opportunity to partake.. and I bet you'll be hooked for next year. I'm thinking of going twice once around noon and again when my sons get out of school.
The cost is $6.50 for a large, and $4.50 for a small. These are a meal unto themselves... so come for lunch.
If you have no time to sit down and enjoy here at the church.. THERE IS ALWAYS TAKE OUT. Need I say more?

WORKING ABOVE REAL ESTATE EXPECTATIONS! I am a long time resident of Cromwell, and a FULL time realtor. Putting clients needs & desires first is a goal of mine. Quality of service is in the details!
I'M HERE TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE BY WORKING ABOVE REAL ESTATE EXPECTATIONS! We are now licensed in both Massachusetts and Connecticut. Visit me at http://www.CTrealtorMLS.com/ I am a long time resident of Cromwell, and am FULL time realtor. I put my clients goals and desires first, and try to go the extra mile for them. I feel the "Quality of Service is in the Details", and this is something that is lacking, generally speaking. I knew there had to be an improvement made. Whether you are buying or selling real estate, this can be a big/stressfful transaction, and someone needs to listen.. therefore, I changed my career. After 25 years of being in the financial field, I left to make a difference in real estate. I'm looking to be an Erin Brockovich in the world of real estate.. with this, I expanded my knowledge with extra classes and have been certified with an ABR (Accredited Buyers Representative). What puts me apart from other realtors is knowing that one should alway be ahead of the market when it comes to listing/marketing properties, and to always listen to your clients as if they were your first and only client... because you might be their first realtor.... and with a job well done could be their only one.
Clients may forget what you said, but they will never forget how you made them feel.

Buying a house can be stressful. It might be the largest financial investment you ever make. Valerie took the stress out of this equation from the start. Thank you. I would recommend you highly for anyone that is looking to buy for the first time.. or their 10th time. Linda Wolfe
I would recommend Valerie to anyone looking for buying real estate in the Cromwell, CT area. She was understanding and listened to EVERYTHING I had to say. She took her time to explain the entire process, and made sure I felt comfortable and relax. This was a wonder experience. She is NOT your typical realtor. Christine Foss
Valerie stands out when it comes to competition. We recently listed our condo with her and were one of 16 in the complex. With her knowledge and expertise, she had it under deposit in 8 days. Thank you Valerie....JOB WELL DONE. Mark and Cyndi Rose
My wife and I were looking for a home.. we contacted 2 other agencies and they never responded. She responded to my email in less than 20 minutes. She answered all are questions, and put our concerns at the top of her list. She is very professional. We both our first home and close in 6 weeks. Kerri and John Clark
With all the realtors out there, we didn't know where to start. We were recommended to Valerie, and we were happy we listened. She knew exactly what to do, and make sure every detail was taken care of... she also helped us pack up our place. She goes over and above what other realtors do... from what we hear. Tom and Marilyn Beck
We tried to sell our condo on our own, but after 3 months, waiting for people who never showed up, peoples loans falling through, we asked Valerie if she could help us. In 2 days we had 2 offers, the one we accepted was $5k over asking. In 6 weeks we closed with no problems.. my advice to anyone trying to sell on their own and can't, call Valerie she knows her job and can help. Bill and Marilyn McVie
