“BRANFORD, Conn. (AP) — A new reality show is being filmed on one of Connecticut’s tiny Thimble Islands. WNPR radio reports that A&E is filming a show called “Love Prison” on Beldon Island, one of 300 small islands off the coast of Branford. Beldon Island has just one house on just over an acre of land in Long Island Sound. Producers of the show say that house will be home to a social experiment involving couples who have an online relationship, but have never before met in person. They will spend a week together on the island. The network says 10 episodes of the show are set to air beginning in August. The island is listed for sale, with an asking price of just under $4 million.”
And our British Friends have the real estate story and they boldly claim that it may be where Captain Kid has hidden treasures….
“Buy a Connecticut private island for $4m… find your own treasure! Tiny property in chain where Captain Kidd’s fortune is rumored to be buried goes on sale”
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!
