Take Your Shoes Off In Bad Weather?
  We've all been to listings where the homeowner requests "shoes off". Okay, we can somewhat understand this in bad weather although if we were selling our home, we wouldn't want anyone's dirty feet walking on our clean floors (even those booties tend to sweat).  We must say that we've seen buyers take off their shoes and get hurt by small toys lying around, cold basements that buyers didn't go down to, someone who slipped while walking with those plastic booties, and what dogs have left around...well we won't go there! I remember last winter when had some snow and the homeowner asked that we take … (34 comments)

long island real estate: What Does It Mean That We Are A Back-Up Offer? - 05/16/13 09:28 PM
​Suffolk County Long Island Home Buyer Asks: What Does It Mean That We Are A Back-Up Offer? 
 
That was a question we were asked by our Buyer last week after presenting an offer on a Home in Suffolk County Long Island.
It means that another offer was made on this Suffolk County property before ours, and the owner and Realtor have decided they will accept back-up offers just in case the first offer is cancelled. In Real Estate, we never know what may happen during negotiations and so it's a good idea to continue to show a house until all contracts are signed. After contracts are signed, … (35 comments)

long island real estate: What Is A Cul-De-Sac On The North Shore Of Long Island? - 02/14/13 08:30 PM
 The American meaning of a Cul-De-Sac is one way in and one way out. Cul-de-Sac are created to limit through-traffic in residential areas. It is a street that is not connected to other roads and sometimes called a Court.
 
Real estate values of houses built in a Cul-De-Sac can generally be higher than those built on regular streets. Many homeowners believe that living on a Cul-De-Sac is a natural way to slow down drivers since there is little through-traffic, and because of this home buyers may be willing to pay a premium for this convenience.
