One of the things I love about being a realtor is helping families meet their needs: be it selling their house or finding a home that is just right for them. Mostly, that’s what being a realtor is all about: matching people with homes.
But sometimes, as realtors, we get – or create – the opportunity to do something more. To give back. To make Real Estate really REAL.
September 1, 2008 was my day to make real estate REAL. That was the day Nicole Williams moved into the new home I helped her find in Norwalk. A home big enough for her family. A

One of the compliments I received last year – and one that means a lot to me – was from Nicole. She told the Norwalk Hour, “Looking at homes was quite an experience. I think I must have looked at 50 to 60 homes before I finally found one that was big enough for my family. My realtor was very, very patient with me.”
That’s me, with Nicole and her family; if you’d like, you can read the full article published in The Hour on September 13, 2008.
And now with Nicole happy in her home, I’ve expanded my efforts. In addition to my wonderful Wilton real estate clients, I’m helping 5 new families like Nicole’s find homes in Norwalk.
It just feels so great to put the REAL in Real Estate.
