About Susan Arsenault ~Realtor 24/7~
I would like to share a little of my
background with you-
I am a native of Manchester, N.H.
where I graduated from a small women's college, "Notre Dame" with a degree in
elementary education and sociology.
I taught 2nd grade and then after
moving to Ct. in 1970, I opened a nursery school in Ellington, Ct. and
continued teaching for another 5 years.
As my children were growing, I
decided to go into real estate having had first hand experience while growing
up. My father was a broker, and we lived and breathed real estate in my home. I
guess the apple doesn't fall far from the tree!

I moved to Simsbury in 1977 with my
husband and 2 children. Today my children are young married adults. Thus, I
have the time and energy to work 24/7. I have been in the real estate business
for over 20 years. I enjoy meeting new people and assisting them in finding a
home, or selling their existing home.
Whether buying or selling a home, I
will listen to your needs and together as a team, we will get the job
done!
I love my work, but I also channel some
of my energy behind and in front of the camera for SCTV (Simsbury Community
Television). I am the host and director of "Real Estate Today", a monthly show
that deals with the nuts and bolts of the real estate process.
I am also a volunteer cameraperson for
events in our town. I am on the board of directors for "Main Street
Partnership", an organization dedicated to the economic health and preservation
of the Historic Town Center.
I belong to St. Mary's church and
have taught religious education when my children were younger.
In my free time I enjoy roller blading,
bike riding and snow skiing.

Selling Your Home >A Disappointed Seller
Many home sellers are disappointed by the first offer they receive. For example, when your agent calls to say that she has an offer on your home, your adrenaline might start flowing profusely. You get really excited, but your happy bubble bursts when you are presented with the contract. It's just not enough! The buyers asked for your new washing machine, and they also want to postpone the closing for three months. You don't see how it can work!
Before rejecting any offer on your property, you should consider making a counter offer. Rarely does an offer look the way it would if you had written it yourself. Consider the good and bad points of the offer, and work with the agents to find a middle ground that you and buyers can live with. You may have to go back and forth several times, and there will probably be compromises on both sides. Unless you are lucky enough to be selling in a strong sellers' market, the buyers will expect to do some bargaining. With a little patience, you and your agent can create a "win-win" situation for you and the buyers.
