real estate: Is It Attitude, Name Recognition, Or Both? - 05/25/10 08:08 AM
Is It Attitude, Name Recognition, Or Both? Things have finally calmed down after switching brokerages. At least the moving in part has. A few months before switching, I do remember not being myself. After knocking on hundreds of doors, a few thousand phone calls, holding open houses for other agents, getting out there and meeting people, going through 4000 business cards in 5 months, all with little results. That can make anyone not happy. I never brought those feelings to the table when I was with anyone. No one ever knew I wasn't happy except for my husband. So here … (28 comments)

Long Island Storm Aftermath of 2010
As I drove around the day after the storm, I was amazed to see how 1 home was untouched, and another home had trees on top of the roof.
Some blocks were closed due to power lines being down. LIPA stated they ran out of transformers. Imagine that? This past Tuesday there were still 20,000 LIPA customers without power.
Here are some photos of what the storm left behind....
Corner of Grand Avenue & Muncy in Lindenhurst, NY - Most stops signs were untouched but this one.

real estate: New York Real Estate Agency Disclosure - I Ain't Signing No Stinkin' Form!! - 03/13/10 08:29 AM
New York Real Estate Agency Disclosure
I Ain't Signing No Stinkin' Form!!
As a Realtor, I do open houses for clients and also other agents as a favor when they are stuck.
New York State requires us Realtors to give buyers the Agency Disclosure form to let them know that Realtors work for the seller, what a Buyer's Agent is and it also explains Dual Agency.
I am amazed at how many consumers do not understand what this all means. They automatically think they are signing a contract. It is NOT a contract.
Lately, I'm coming across many buyer's who … (14 comments)

real estate: Short Sale Federal Program To Start April 5th, 2010 - 03/08/10 03:45 PM
Short Sale Federal Program To Start April 5th, 2010
For those of you that do not know, the Obama administration is trying to encourage home owners to take the short sale route to avoid foreclosure.
In short, (no pun intended :)) a short sale is when you have to sell your home for less than what you owe on your mortgage. It's also better on your credit than a foreclosure. As of now, it will take 3 to 5 years before you can get a mortgage. With a foreclosure, you are looking at, at least 10 years or more before … (8 comments)

Tax Credit Due To Expire June 30th - Home Buyers and Sellers, What Are You Waiting For?
The tax credit will be expiring on June 30, 2010. Everyone has to be in contract by April 30, 2010. What are you waiting for?
If buyers cannot afford to buy, then of course you can't buy. But the buyers that can afford it now, now is not the time to hold off. Mortgage rates will be going up to 6% by or before the end of 2010. The government seems reluctant to extend the tax credit again. I wouldn't count on it … (0 comments)

Avi Korine Home Inspector Dix Hills Long Island
This past Saturday, my buyers had an inspection scheduled for their co-op purchase. They decided to use Avi Korine because I told them he's very thorough to say the least. He's fair and doesn't overprice repairs that are needed.
Avi was there for just over an hour and this is a co-op! He checked everything. In the end, he gave a detailed verbal inspection report which found nothing major and my buyers are happy. They were also impressed with Avi and were glad they took my advice.
I also had a personal experience … (0 comments)

Selling Your Home On Long Island and Market Value
Market value is market value plain and simple. I've had listing appointments knowing a home cannot be put on the market due to the mortgages being higher than market value. Do I cancel that appointment? No. I made a commitment to meet with you and I stand by that commitment. I do know going in that I may disappoint you. I also know you may want to list way above market value but I just will not do that. Why? Because even though you know what market value is and want … (0 comments)
