long island realtors: Meet The New Millionaires On ActiveRain - 12/29/12 06:30 PM
 
We didn't have any expectations when we joined ActiveRain. Never thought about where this was going to take us, who we would meet, or what it may do for our business.   We joined just to see if there was anything anyone was saying about Real Estate that we could learn about.   And learn we did!   As we climbed the ranks in our area, we didn't understand the point system, didn't know why so many members were "point crazy" or why there were points at all.   We truly do not check our points often. We just blog … (49 comments)

long island realtors: Do We Buy A Long Island Home Without A Basement? - 02/21/12 04:32 AM
 
Do We Buy A Long Island Home Without A Basement? We're working with out of state clients from Mississippi who asked, "should we buy a Long Island Home without a basement"?   Here on Long Island it is not uncommon to have a basement, however there are homes that do not have them. Some communities do not have basements due to a mulitiplicity of factors like where it's located, when it was built, the extra cost that was involved, type of home, if it is too close to water levels, etc. A key important question is how does it compare to other houses in the neighborhood? … (24 comments)

 Buyer's Ask...Is This Staying When We Buy Our Long Island House?   Our question to you Larry and Sheila is when we do buy our Long Island house, will the chandeliers, refrigerator and washer and dryer stay?   Didn't think much about this question before until we starting working with several relocation buyers. You see, in different parts of the country, standard items that stay with the house are not the same. Real estate varies widely based on what is acceptable in a particular market and local custom.

If Your Long Island Home Has Been Sitting On The Market Too Long... 
It's not unusual for homes to remain on the market these days. Since there's a large inventory of homes, it's considered a buyer's market. Even with the holidays in full bloom, buyers are out looking, but they are looking for the best deal they can get or they will choose another property.
If your home has been sitting on the market and you have received NO offers, or if you've received only low offers, there may be a few things you can do to get an edge on the competition and get yours SOLD.
