real estate: What color is your house? - 08/15/11 09:49 AM
After a potential buyer left the house, the buyers agent and myself were commenting on the felling a foreclosure has. We both agreed that they are just sad. You can feel the doom and gloom and most seem to have a cloud over them. They have had several agents. Their owners know more than anybody in the real estate business. The problems are just going to get better and soon their troubles will be over. Most seem to be painted GRAY.
SO WHAT COLOR IS THE HOUSE YOU ARE TRYING TO SELL???
GREEN?  Is the house green with envy because the … (1 comments)

real estate: Bar=B=Que any one? - 06/18/10 10:36 PM
This past Monday night I had to grap something to eat in Hudaon after spending the day at Columbia Memorial Hospital. I was with two of my daughters, future son-in-law, and wife. Some one sugguested the new American Bar-B-Que Restaurant on Warren Street in the Third Street block, so we went. The former firehouse has been completley done over and is beautiful. Two floors with a lot of brick. Someone knows more about the future of Hudson than I do. The drinks were very cool. At the bar the beer on tap were enclosed with cubes of frost and ice, very … (3 comments)

real estate: Agent gives advise and seller follows it!!! WOW - 04/23/10 03:06 PM
At the beginning of the month a potential seller called me from a post card I had sent out to an expired listing. Said he would like me to come and visit the house ( I had taken a potential buyer there a year before) and tell him want he should do to get the house ready. The house is a sweet little salt box on 8 acres the owners enjoyed on weekends and holidays. Typical of our market. The owners both had jobs in different directions and needed to get ready for listing. I suggested the lawn, yard, gardens, branches, and … (0 comments)

real estate: foreclosure could be cracked up to be cracks in the wall. - 01/18/10 01:36 PM
Now I know this does not pertain to most agents and brokers below the Mason-Dixon line but up North it gets pretty cold mid January. So I have a foreclosure, since late Fall, the bank drained the pipes, used anti-freeze and turned off the water. Good deal for everyone. Now I have a buyer with an accepted offer from the Bank. He know it is "as is" but wants to know what the "as is" is. Lets see ifthe furnace works, hot water radiators for heat, and the hot water heater and the septic and throw in the outside water spickets. … (1 comments)

real estate: Kinderhook, New York Real Estate Broker - Bill Laraway - 08/02/08 09:36 PM
I retired for a month after 32 years in retail and knew I needed to be with people and have an office to go to on a daily schedule. Last month I completed my 45 hours of classes and received my Broker license and I just receive an award from Century 21 for sales acknowledgement. We have a small office with just five agents and a full time secretary. We normally have customers who are looking for first or second homes. In March I sold the biggest property our office ever negotiated, 2.3million. It took 16 months to complete the sale. At the closing everyone stood … (4 comments)
