When I visit open houses, one of the things that I often notice, is how outdated they are. Traditional is beautiful, however, tired is not. “Fresh” gives the impression for future home buyers, that you have been caring for your home all along. Granted, if you are selling your home, you do not want to spend lots of money, but when a window is a standard size, you can take the shade with you when you move, or better yet – they may become a point of negotiation.
When I sold my apartment in NYC, I had very inexpensive but dramatic window shades. When I wouldn’t lower my price, the perspective buyer negotiated to have the window treatments included in the sale – bingo! Win/Win 🙂
The Shade Store – Simple – But sometimes simple is great. This site works so well – it is easy, fast, organized, yet you are able to order samples in the tradition of buying window treatments anywhere….check it out!
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!
