lindenhurst ny real estate agent: 11 Reasons Why Real Estate Is Not Easy
- 04/16/14 05:26 AM
11 Reasons Why Real Estate Is Not Easy Buyer's bank gave us a clear to close on a coop and the bank said, "oopsie" we didn't get the insurance certificate for the coop development although we requested it 16 days ago. Bank never followed up but I spent almost 7 hours getting the insurance certificate for the bank. How in the world do you give a clear to close with paperwork missing? I guess there is a first time for everything. Buyer's agent went incognito and I had to deal with her buyer from beginning to end along with my sellers … (31 comments)

- 08/12/13 11:14 PM
10 Things From The Past I Know You Do Not Know About Me When I was 14 I snuck out of the house through my bedroom window to hang out with my friends. When I climbed back in my bedroom my Mom was waiting for me. My dog "told" on me because he was pacing the floors and crying which woke up my Mom. The fear on her face was enough for me to never do that again! I was a "tomboy" growing up. We used to take our skateboards and make ramps to skateboard over cars. To this day, I … (15 comments)

lindenhurst ny real estate agent: How Buying My First Home in Lindenhurst NY Taught Me to Be A Better Real Estate Agent
- 08/15/12 12:34 AM
How Buying My First Home in Lindenhurst NY Taught Me to Be A Better Real Estate Agent Bought my first home with my ex in November 1993. It was a seller's market. We were looking for months and didn't find "the one". It wasn't because we were picky and we weren't. There wasn't a lot of homes to choose from in our price range. Needless to say, we did find the perfect house, so we thought. In 1992, buyer agency was born. At the time were were buying, most real estate agents weren't representing buyers. The mentality was all about seller … (1 comments)
lindenhurst ny real estate agent: Why I Can't Tell You if the Long Island NY Home Is Overpriced
- 05/27/12 10:30 PM
Why I Can't Tell You if the Long Island NY Home Is Overpriced or Not When I am working with a buyer and showing them homes listed with brokerages other than my own brokerage, I am a Broker's Agent. Therefore, I am representing the seller. (Read about agency relationships here.) With that said, when you ask me if the home you are interested in is overpriced, I won't and can't tell you. By giving you that information while representing the seller, I am breaking agency disclosure law. Don't ask me to do that because it won't happen. I will never risk my license … (12 comments)

lindenhurst ny real estate agent: Real Estate Agents Aren't Walking Bags Of Money
- 01/18/11 08:39 AM
Real Estate Agents Aren't Walking Bags Of Money.Did someone open the communication floodgates recently? I am hearing more and more stories about folks that want us to cut our commissions to make deals "happen". I was even asked this recently during a listing presentation. I flat out said no. Then I was told a small profit is better than nothing. Yep, that's right, it is. However, what we agree to in the beginning is what we agree to, period. Just because you "need" to walk away with a certain number, doesn't mean I'm cutting my salary in order for you … (17 comments)

We walk into this really nice home. It had large rooms, beautiful wood floors, spacious bedrooms, a double fireplace and on each side of the fireplace, it has these custom … (7 comments)
