Meet Bill! Bill was looking for something VERY specific. Lakefront property in Connecticut or Massachusetts with a reasonable commute to his work. There is not exactly an abundance of these types of properties readily available in a normal market and with the current market being so crazy, the pickings were even more slim. We looked at quite a few lake houses on quite a few lakes. Some were even called "ponds". We even looked at a few with "water views" or in lake association neighborhoods that weren't exactly waterfront. Bill was patient and I love looking at lake houses so we made a good team. We finally found the one in Griswold. It was definitely worth the wait. The location is fantastic, the lake is crystal clear and the views are AMAZING. We were able to do his closing right at the picnic table in the photo below. The weather was glorious, we got to see a mama and a baby deer swimming and I even got to stick my feet in the water! All in a day's work! I'm so, SO happy that Bill found exactly what he was looking for and now he's living that lake life! Congratulations, Bill!

It's an old trolley bridge that connects the towns of Shelburne and Buckland that has been turned into a lush garden footbridge. It's open from April until October and something is always in bloom. We crossed on a gorgeous day in June and we highly recommend visiting if you find yourself in the area. You can visit the bridge's website to learn more and even to see what's in bloom when to help plan a proper visit. You can cross the bridge for free but the entire thing is run by volunteers for our enjoyment so don't be shy about dropping a little something in donation box. Sean and I both enjoyed the bridge and took lots of photos. He was in tattoo-reference heaven with so many different flowers in so many stages of bloom. We also both enjoyed the village of Shelburne Falls, With the Deerfield River running through downtown, the bridges, the little independent shops, galleries and restaurants, we agreed that it reminded us of life in Cork City, Ireland (the Ireland experiment of 2014). While you're there you can also see the glacial pot holes which were super cool to see too! What is your favorite day-trip adventure? Inspire us!

Together, the three of us rode the real estate emotional rollercoaster for months! Now that the ride has come to a complete stop and our lap bar has been lifted I think it's safe to say we all had fun and that the ups and downs were worth it. We traveled to LOTS of towns. We looked at LOTS of houses. We wrote LOTS of offers. We received LOTS of rejections. But they were strong buyers and they were determined. Even when this tough market got them down they did not give up. They ended up with a glorious and spacious new home on a lovely corner lot in a fantastic neighborhood. Congratulations, Dan and Megan! Thanks for having me along on your wild homebuying ride! And PS- Please don't tell anyone about that time at that one house where we had to climb through a window, keep that between us! Maverick Realty, 256 Main St Suite D East Windsor, CT 06088, CT #REB.0793283, 860-978-5388, info@maverickrealtyct.com Meet Aaron and Moriah! This is one of those extra-special, heart warming ones for me. In this story, I'm not only the realtor, I'm also "Auntie Jessica". And little Moriah is all grown up and buying her first house. "I get so emotional, baby!" (Sing it like Whitney if you can!) I'll put my mushy feelings aside and share the important real estate details that I know you're all dying for. It is no big secret that the market is incredibly tough for buyers right now. Even buyers in the strongest position are having a hard time competing in these wild and crazy multiple offer situations. So when Aaron and Moriah wanted to start looking I was super nervous that we wouldn't be able to find something great for them and I really didn't want them to overpay for something crappy. They had some flexibility in their search area which was great. And after ruling out a few towns and refusing to overpay in certain areas we found a rough gem ready for them to polish in Thomaston. Good bones, great space, fantastic yard and location. And maybe they still overpaid just a bit (it's almost impossible not to!) but we did get the seller to pay for some of their closing costs which is UNHEARD-OF in this market. So I'm feeling pretty good about that! What really matters is they have a great new home where they can settle in and grow their family. I cannot wait for all the future family gatherings and fun I get to have at their new place! Congratulations Aaron and Moriah!
