When selling your home, you want the experience to be short and sweet. That is, you donâ€™t want to suffer through months and months of fruitless showings; and once you find a buyer, you want the transaction to go smoothly from start to finish. A big part of ensuring that your house sells quickly, for a fair price and without any hitches is to hire the right realtor. You want someone who is experienced, who works regularly with houses in your price range and who is well respected by colleagues and clients. You want someone like Chaz Walters. He and his company, Hot Property, are well-known for success, action and willingness to go the extra mile for clients and service. Waltersâ€™ boutique-style residential real estate office is a step ahead of the industry. The company provides the latest in technology to each agent and marketing from cutting edge billboards to public relations to advertising campaigns. Walters is one of Chicago's leading residential real estate sales agents with average annual sales of $50 million. He has established a reputation in the real estate market for action and excellence nationally as well as locally. Following a close to 15-year career at another major real estate franchise, Chaz decided to open an office that fosters a people-driven philosophy and facilitates a culture of working closely with clients to buy and sell real estate and surpass client's expectations. â€œBecause your home is the single most valuable -- and valued -- possession, entrust the sale of your home or find your future home with a real estate agent who is working hard for you,â€ says Walters. Hot Property is bringing together the best of both worlds -- the knowledge of established real estate leaders and brands with the edginess, drive and passion of entrepreneurship. All the marketing and word of mouth has made Hot Property a recognized brand in the Chicago real estate market. The company fields calls from as far away as London. The branding has paid off in another, unexpected way, as well. In October, ABC launched a show called â€œHot Properties,â€ a sitcom about four women who run a Manhattan real estate office. Walters is currently in licensing negotiations with Warner Brothers Television (WBTV). â€œWe have spent 10 years successfully building the Hot Property brand,â€ says Walters. â€œWe believe that Hot Property will continue to grow and stand for excellence in real estate and this sitcom is another opportunity for gaining widespread brand awareness.

Staff Reports 07:57PM / Tuesday, December 30, 2025

PITTSFIELD, Mass. — A city man is facing charges in Vermont related to a hit-and-run crash that seriously injured a pedestrian.

The Bennington (Vt.) Banner reports that Nelsin Martin, 21, is facing a felony charge in the May 8 incident. He could face up to 15 years behind bars if found guilty.

The crash occurred on Route 7 near the intersection with Route 346 at about 6:38 a.m. A witness and video from a Pownal school bus indicated that two vehicles were driving south down the highway nearly side by side at an excessive speed. The witness said they appeared to be racing, according to the Banner. A third vehicle was mentioned by it was not clear if it was involved.

The pedestrian, 37-year-old Adrienne Formel of Pownal, was struck by the vehicle in the far right lane, which was either trying to pass in the breakdown lane or was "bumped" by another vehicle, according to witnesses.

The victim was taken to Albany (N.Y.) Medical Center with life-threatening injuries, including a broken arm, and had to have her right leg amputated.

Vermont State Police identified two vehicles, a white Chevrolet Silverado and a white Volkswagen sedan, which both fled the scene south into Massachusetts and were last seen on North Hoosac Road in Williamstown. By the end of the day, they had identified both the vehicles and the drivers.

Martin is expected to be arraigned next week.
