What Everybody Ought to Know About Their Credit and FICO Score

Rob Gutman — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 12:06:53 +0000

We’ve all been reading the headlines shouting about the mortgage crisis, sub-prime loans and that home buyers can’t get loans to buy their dream home. I can’t say for Nevada or Florida, but in Fairfield County, those headlines are a load of bunk! I’m still selling real estate in Ridgefield and other towns where buyers are financing 95% of their purchase!

How?… you wonder… it’s their credit score. A good credit score is the key that unlocks the door to low down payments. opening that door becomes much easier when you understand exactly what determines your FICO score.

The company that created FICO, Fair Isaac, has a FREE eBook you must read so you can really understand what a 785 means or how opening a Macy’s charge will affect your score. Download and read Understanding Your FICO Score to learn all you need to know about your credit score.

Then, check out AnnualCreditReport.com to get you free credit report from the big 3 reporting agencies.

Brad and I keep relationships with the best mortgage providers in Connecticut. We’ll help get you the financing you need to buy your perfect home. We are always available to help in any way we can. Contact us anytime.

How You Can Profit From Getting Rid of Your Junk

Rob Gutman — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 18:35:33 +0000

You’ve decided to sell, you’re moving or you just need to clear some junk out of your house. Living in Ridgefield, I can tell you how to do it quickly, easily and profitably. I help all of my real estate clients clean-out their homes and ready them for sale. Here’s 4 ways to make it easy and profitable. I love this stuff so CALL ME to help you with any of this! 203-313-0414

Craigslist - I use craigslist to sell mostly oversized or bulky items that are tough to ship. Price items to sell quickly, not to make a huge profit and they’ll be gone in a day or 2. Remember, your primary goal is to rid your house of all the stuff you no longer need or use. When moving last year, I sold a sleeper sofa, several old dressers, bikes and more on Craigslist. And the best part is, people show up, pay you and take your stuff away…. easy money!

Freecycle - Free/Recycle… “Freecycle”. It’s a national network of freecyclers with a growing local presence. I’ve been hearing more about Freecycle lately but haven’t yet tried it myself. The idea is if you’ve got something that’s still within it’s useful life but you need to get rid of it, say an old Laz-y-Boy, a washer/dryer or garden tools, there’s someone out there that will take it for their own use. This gets it out of your house and keeps it out of the landfill; very environmentally friendly. Although you get no cash for your stuff, you get it removed for free.

eBay - I use eBay mostly for things of relatively high value that are easy to ship. I’ve sold used mp3 players, cell phones, cameras and more on eBay with little effort and much success. You can set your own price or run an auction. Either way it helps you clear out your attic or basement of old video cameras, telescopes, toys, shoes, clothes and more.

Goodwill - Donate items at Goodwill. Goodwill Industries has convenient drop-off locations throughout the area and can even be called on to pick up furniture and other large items. Here’s a reliable way to donate items and they’ll also give you a receipt for your taxes.

The Dump - When all else fails, take it to the local transfer station. For a fee, you can drop most anything. The trouble is you do all the work and then pay for the privilege of filling a landfill with your old couch. This is usually my last option but they are always ready to take whatever I’m getting rid of.

Remember, I am always available to help you use any of these websites. Together we can get your house de-cluttered and put some cash in your pocket!

Ridgefield’s Eco-B&B Green Rocks Inn: It Rocks!

Rob Gutman — Mon, 16 Jun 2008 12:40:23 +0000

An ever growing number of people have transformed parts of their lifestyle to be more conscious of sustainability and our environment. So when you travel to the region, there’s no need to leave these good habits at home. In fact, now when you visit family and friends in Fairfield (CT) and Westchester (NY) Counties, you can bring all these important habits with you and even pick up some new ones while staying at Ridgefield’s own Green Rocks Inn.

Green Rocks Inn in Ridgefield, CT

As explained in yesterday’s New York Times article, House Won’t Sell? Turn It Into a B&B, homeowners Kim and Barbara became proprietors of their B&B after Brad (my partner on Real Estate Chocolate) floated the idea. What an ingenious way to benefit from a somewhat shifted Ridgefield real estate market and take a home that was slow in selling and turn it into a lifestyle dream come true.

The region’s best B&B is known as much for its hospitality as it is for it’s eco-friendly approach. On her blog, Kim maintains a list of more that 35 ways she keeps her inn green including composting, buying wind-generated electricity, and paperless billing. They also hosted last month’s Green Drinks and have sponsored the Ridgefield Farmers Market.

When traveling to Ridgefield or if you live here and need a place for family and friends to stay, count on the Green Rocks Inn for hospitality, service and an environmentally friendly approach to doing business.

How Talking Sidewalks Can Teach You the History of Ridgefield, CT

Rob Gutman — Thu, 12 Jun 2008 13:53:04 +0000

Imagine strolling down Main Street and learning all the local history along the way. With Ridgefield’s Museum in the Streets, it’s as if the sidewalks are telling you the storied past of each historical building, landmark and monument in town. As part of Ridgefield’s 300th Anniversary celebration, the Museum in the Streets program has been installed all along the downtown sidewalks for all to enjoy.

Residents, visitors, day-trippers and school kids have been enjoying the displays that arrived last month. Numbering over 30 in all, these markers offer a glimpse into Ridgefield’s first 300 years. They are full of old pictures, stories and facts that have led to the present-day New England town as we know it.

You’ll find “Museum Markers” at Ballard Park, Town Hall, The Library and more that provide pedestrians with colorful descriptions of “what happened here”. It’s also a great way to spend time together with your kids.

Walk through town and look for the markers. Take a little extra time to enjoy Ridgefield’s Museum in the Streets.

The Museum in the Streets heritage discovery trails can also be found in these US and French towns.
