This past Thursday, thanks to my good friend  Ed Silva, I had the pleasure to MeetUp with the one and only Carol Williams .  I doubt there is any ActiveRain member, who is regularly on ActiveRaian, that does not know Carol.  Carol is also one of the regular Weekly ActiveRain ZOOM Meeting attendees, and contributor.When Carol made it know she was going to be within a short distance of CT while on her cross country road trip, Ed reached out to her about meeting up with her.  Carol not only agreed, but she even changed her plans, and drove to CT.  Ed than reached out to a few of us who regularly attended the past MeetUps in CT, many of which were hosted by Dagny Eason. Ed than arranged for us to MeetUp at a small Middle Eastern Restaurant called Kibberia.  This was the first time those in ...

Not A Normal Summer Haze Our sky has been hazy for a few days now and it will continue as such for a while longer.When the wind blows that haze carries more than just a tint. It also carries a fragrance of burning wood.The effects of the west Coast wildfires have crossed the country and people are being warmed to protect themselves from the hyper haze.  At risk are people with allergies as well as anyone with respiratory ailments.  WOne would think that with a heavy rain the haze would clear out, but it is replaced with the winds coming from the west.These photos are of the sky over Waterbury valley taken on a late afternoon.We can only hope that the western fires get controlled and even then we will feel the results long after that. That's Not a Normal Hazy Summer Sky

A Five Star Review for a Short Sale in Connecticut We should all do our best at all times to help our clients with their real estate needs. In the current market, selling a home is not as difficult with low inventory. However, there are always issues with homes that make them a touch more needy when it comes to getting the deal through closing.Such was the case with the family I represented in a recent short sale. After the final letters were exchanged and the family knew they were out of trouble with their lender, I received the review posted below in an email from their daughter. My family had the privilege of working with Realtor® Mr. Ed Silva of MapleRidge Realty in Waterbury CT.  After all of the experiences we had trying to save our home, when we met Ed he placed our minds at ease...
