Prospect Ct is literally an intersection of roadways between New Haven and Waterbury Ct. Even today, it's a cozy town of app 15,000 people. The town enjoys the closeness of a small community yet still maintains a connection to the large towns that surround it, as people come home after work. One of the first sections to be developed in town is the Upper Scott Road area. Within a pie shaped area between Scott, road which comes up from the East End of Waterbury and Rt 69, the primary Rt to New Haven is a development of predominately small ranch style homes with an occasional colonial built on an extra lot. The majority of homes in this area would be first time buyer properties, consisting of 3 bedrooms, and 1100 sq ft of area on less than one half acre lots.               The Rt 69 corrid...

Today, at the intersection of Rts 68 & 69 in Prospect Ct, blooms a field of American Flags. The Field of Flags was started almost five years ago at a local church, with each representing an American service man or woman killed in Iraq or Afghanistan. This flag display was put up on Friday, March 26 and will stay here until it's taken down on April 18. The flags will be in Prospect at the request of a Waterbury father who lost his son in Iraq. Organizers of this event got the necessary permission from the Town and the church to put up the flags at the intersection. Originally, on October 23, 2005, members of the memorial Garden Committee of the Somers Congregational Church placed 2,231 flags, one for each American casualty in Iraq and Afghanistan. The emotional impact of the memorial gre...

Today I received an email from a client with whom I have had an experience that probably tested my capabilities as an agent more than any I can recall. The epilogue to the transaction was the letter of appreciation they sent for the work I had done to get their house sold. Over the course of the past 8 months, I have blogged about this house at least 10 times, and not all were for promotional purposes. The text of the email follows: Here we come to the end of the process that was at some points a complicated one. . It's thanks to your deep experience and profound knowledge that we were able to clean the mess that we were in. It would have been impossible to face the challenges or overcome the obstacles had we listed the house with any other agent. Our experience with you is the proof th...

  Yesterday, 12/16/09 was the grand re-lo-Christmas Extravaganzaput out by the people at the Prospect Pages here in Prospect, Ct  Our local paper does publish all the news anybody here in Prospect would want to read and of course it's all 'FIT TO PRINT'.   For the 13 years that I've been a resident of this town, I've seen them through at least 4 moves. Each one has seen the paper grow even more. And I for one know that even when someone finds it necessary to move out of town, they are always looking for a copy of this little paper just to stay current with news of the 'Best Little Town' in the country, right Mom?.  The staff of Nannette Commendatore, Deidre Moutinho and owner Gwenn Fischer always have a smile, even though for this Open House Luncheon it might have been aided by some ex...
