Riddle:When is Buying a Computer Like Buying a Home?….Darien Real Estate

Last week I bought a new laptop.My old one was slow, riddled with viruses, and the keyboard ws missing the letters "N and"D". It was time. Against the advice of my "Machildren" I decided  on a PC . It has a large,shiny,black screen, lots of memory and a keyboard that looks like it came straight off the Space Shuttle.  Anyway,once out of the box,I had to figure out how to transfer data from the old machine to the new one.

Darien Real Estate,Can You Trust Your Agent?

Today I met with a young couple who is quickly outgrowing their present living space.and were thinking of relocating to Darien,CT. They knew very little about Darien real estate market and I was called in to do a price opinion on their Fairfield home as well.

They were wary and tense like I was about the try to sell them a set of encyclopedias or something. (anyone...Continue Reading!
