If you want just any Realtor, put the 2,000 names listed in the Staten Island MLS into a hat.  List with the one you pick out.  On the other hand, if you want someone really different, someone who generally cares what he does, cares about doing his personal best for you, knows the local market, works for you like the house was his, has a great track record, can show you his past successes AND a few failures, is totally up front with you, not looking to be your friend, but will tell you things that you should know about selling your most valuable asset, at the risk of getting you mad at him, but not with him, because he is looking out for YOUR best interest, then give me a call.  See first hand the difference.  Some one who is ALWAYS present when another Realtor comes into your home, even when it's from the same agency, Why pay your hard earned money for anyone other than the very best? You deserve no less.  Kenneth Cole, Appleseed homes Realty, 4651 Hylan Blvd, Staten Island, N.Y. 10312.  Office 718-966-4000 ext 234, cell 917-696-0275, web site www.kennethcolerealestate.com
