The REO Gardeners, The NY Foreclosure Report

Written by Gabriella for Island Advantage Report, LLC

Every client has different needs. Last winter I had a couple for clients who were anxious to find the perfect REO property for their individual needs. I knew what the criteria were and showed them several properties.  We went over the pros and cons, weighed and measured everything.  Nothing quite jelled; the wife was not excited about any of the properties even though there were several that fit their wish list. 

I am an avid gardener and on one of the outings I happened to take several seed catalogs and a gardening book with me. The wife caught sight of one of the catalogues in my briefcase and couldn't take her eyes off it. I offered it to her and she reacted as if she were reunited with an old friend.  This was amazing to me because nowhere on their list was a property that was suitable for gardening.  I asked the wife if she liked to garden.  It turns out that it had always been a dream of hers to have a large garden but she had never had the opportunity.  I realized that we had been looking at all the wrong properties and quickly took them to several properties that had ample space for gardens. They were thrilled and quickly made an offer on a home that had once sported an award winning garden.  The garden had since been neglected and was now a veritable jungle of unkempt vegetation.  My clients were overjoyed.

By the end of summer their garden was once again a showplace.  If you are interested in finding the REO property of your dreams in the Long Island or Metro NY area, please call Island Advantage Realty, LLC.  We are the industry leaders for REO properties in this area and we will be happy to show you all the wonderful homes available in this market.
