1 friend who has never visited the couple in their home until this week
Perspective tenant
Loud mouth husband of daughter
Combine together in one house, the owner and her husband with their idea of renting their cottage. Mix this with an agent who proceeds to market, suggest improvements and clean/spruce/prune to improve the potential.
Deflated sooufle, after deflated soufle, finally a tenant is ready to be annointed “the one” FINISHING
Quickly whisk in illness, a stupid comment by a family member to the perspective tenant, together with inappropriate. lazy and short-sighted, distant family members and not so close “friend”.
….and what to you get?
A big raspberry
Result – Poor taste, the wrong consistency, horrible presentation, it may even make you ill – and you certainly don’t want seconds.
Next time – one chef, a sous chef, a hostess that brings a deserving and rewarded customer – and everyone walks away a winner.
P.S. Did you know that they say that bedbugs smell like rotten raspberries?
The art of the deal transcends all businesses, and more so in real estate than in many other professions. For the client, it's often an emotional purchase or sale, rather than a simple commodity or luxury item. I make it my mission to have each side come to terms with a transaction that works for everyone. It's not always easy, but good things in life usually take effort - something from which I've never shied.
Licensed since 2009 as a real estate sales agent in CT & NY, I often work with clients on the border of both areas.
With sales and distribution experience for luxury designer products, and watching/reacting to the markets, my acumen for sales was established. Achieving success and contributing to the growth of many global apparel designer brands, such as Giorgio Armani and Paul Smith for over 20 years, it was time for a change. I wanted to explore another passion that would keep me in one location rather than traveling the globe.
Now I have the best of both worlds, a successful business as a fulfilling personal life. My husband and I have lived in back country Greenwich since 2003, where we enjoy easy access to great biking, hiking and golf. We love to ski and that's usually where our travel takes us.
Life is good in Greenwich!
