Kyra Is Deep In Thought
For those of you who don't know Kyra, we adopted her from Last Hope Animal Rescue a few years ago. She was 10 weeks old when we got her on 12/31/08. Talk about a wonderful New Years!We wanted to adopt an older dog since most puppies get adopted quickly but she stole our hearts.....

Don't you ever want to know what our beloved dogs are thinking?
"ugh! there she is with that boxy thing that flashes!"
Kyra is a great dog. It's amazing how our pets give us unconditional love day in and day out.

Q&A Corner With Jackie Connelly-Fornuff - Should I Get A Home Inspection For A Co-Op? - 04/19/11 08:42 PM
Q&A Corner With Jackie Connelly-Fornuff - Should I Get A Home Inspection For A Co-Op?Yes and possibly no. Let me 'splain........
A co-op is where you own shares, not the unit itself. The management company is responsible for inside the walls and the exterior of the buildings like the roof, siding, landscaping and so forth. You are responsible for what you can see in the co-op apartment. If there is a hole in the wall, you are responsible to fix that.When purchasing a co-op, I find that most buyers do not get a home inspection. But, if you are purchasing a … (4 comments)

I Was Starting To Wonder If Winter Is The New Spring!
Winter was just too long this year. Cold temps lasting for months is not my cup of tea. Even though this past week was warmer, it has been raining which of course makes things damp and chilly. I'm hardly seeing blooms on trees and not really seeing flowers popping up yet.
I went on my deck this morning at 5:30 a.m. to just sit and enjoy my cup of tea. Then I'm listening to a chorus of birds that seem to know Spring is here. Maybe Winter isn't the new … (17 comments)

Lindenhurst NY Home Selling - Pricing Into The Future - "Homeowners, Stop This Crazy Pricing!"
I hear it all the time when working with buyers. "This home is overpriced". "They must be out of their minds!" The reason my buyers say this is because I educate them. I show them comparable homes. They know what type of home they can buy because they do their homework.
But, when I start seeing homes that are priced well above market value and I mean at least $80,000 above, I wonder why.
So many homeowners wish the market was still back in 2005 and … (9 comments)
