New Rochelle Humane Society Dog Wash Day Sunday 7/21/2013

There was a steady stream of cars, people with and without their pets at today’s New Rochelle Humane Society’s Dog Wash Day. It started at 10 am and ran until 3 p.m. and today was their 13th annual event. Thank you so much! SO many wonderful volunteers on hand to help man the booths,  wash the dogs (getting so wet in the process), and basically, being wonderful!

We took our pooch (who was adopted from the no kill shelter last June) , and we would like to believe he had a good time.. He socialized a little with the other dogs,  had his shampoo and wash (it was so hot – how could he object to that!), and we even shared a hamburger afterwards from New Rochelle’s greatest hamburger restaurant ( they had a booth today) – AJ’s Hamburgers. NO onion for us thank you very much.. dogs can’t eat them.. but cheese is and WAS all okay!  We even spoke with a dog trainer at a booth (just $1 for 2 minutes!)… great advice – thank you Bobbie Bhambree of Dog Centric.

New Rochelle is GREAT!

Journal News Article – “Four Chimneys” 7/14/2013 – Fantastic!

Four Chimneys 1 001There are times when you feel privileged to represent that special home. “Four Chimneys” in New Rochelle is such a home, and it was featured in a three page article ‘spread’ in the Journal News. I worked extremely hard to get it there, and I am expecting great results. I was able to send it overseas interested buyers, and to current people who have been asking the ‘right’ questions.. Having a property featured in a newspaper can only help, build the excitement, the importance of the property.. and if obtaining a bid is a result of same. does not hurt either! Being offered at $5,400,000

Below are the internet links…   the actual article in the paper featured 10 large photos! Thank you Karen Odom! a great writer!

Christie’s Great Estates and Gay Rosen

A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to attend the yearly Christie’s Great Estates Real Estate Affiliates Conference in Manhattan. It was a full day starting with coffee and tea at 8:30 am, and a full day’s program where I not only learned a great deal, but also had the chance to network with Realtors and other Christie’s affiliates across the country and beyond. We had lunch and  ended the day with cocktails. It was very civilized and wonderful!

I also had the opportunity to appear in a Christie’s video – and why not!

Larchmont and New Rochelle are GREAT!
