As a licensed Real Estate Broker I follow real estate market trends on a daily basis including the trends in the stock and financial markets. I gain insight into these markets from tuning into CNBC on a daily basis and reading many of the literature published on the aforementioned markets. Additionally, I am a member of the National Association of Realtors and the Connecticut Association of Realtors as well as a member of the Greater Fairfield County Multiple Listing Service and finally I was a licensed mortgage broker for a number of years, including those highly spoke about "bubble years" when easy lending was the norm.
