Do you have flood insurance? Today finally it stopped snowing so I ventured out to the store to replenish my cupboards. Driving along I saw evidence of melting snow, and standing water now in areas I have not noticed before.
Since I am a Realtor immediately I started thinking about flooded basements. Then I wondered how many have flood insurance, and how costly it will be for those without coverage.
The mistake many makes is in thinking that flood just don't happen in their area, the truth is floods can happen anywhere, lots of snow having … (12 comments)

dutchess county ny: Sellers stop shooting yourself in the foot. Have that Broker's Open House - 11/08/09 06:41 PM
Wednesday is a typical Broker's Open House Day in Dutchess County NY. Agents can find these open houses by looking on the Multiple Listing Service; although, not all agents make use of this tool. Most agents will send out email invitations and now and then you will get a direct phone call.
Last Wednesday I saw several homes and each was a different style and price range. I got to thinking about those sellers, although they are in the minority, who refuse to have any sort of open house; to me that is like shooting themselves in the foot.
So here … (9 comments)

Should I list my Dutchess County house now or wait until spring?

The normal tendency is for … (16 comments)

Back in November, I wrote a post informing everyone I had switched to another real estate company. Yes, I decided to join Keller Williams Realty. However, the nearest office was located in Yorktown.

dutchess county ny: It's the Time of the Season... - 10/28/07 06:56 PM
In some parts of the country the season plays a bigger role in our everyday life. In Dutchess County New York where I live, the seasons are very distinctive and they affect the way we dress as well as our recreational activities.
The changing seasons also affect the way we market properties. On many occasions prospective sellers will give me photographs of their house; ones they feel would show the house in the best light.
My feelings on the matter are to show the house in a setting that reflects the present season. We all know how we feel about a listing that has a … (16 comments)
