local expert: Luxury and Security in Rio Vista's WALSH HALL - Mahwah, NJ - 02/04/09 12:36 AM
This beautiful brick building was once the home to the Newark Catholic Archdocese and Seton Hall Seminary features 92 condominium units set in the heart of the private enclave of Rio Vista Mahwah. The building is divided into 5 sections also known as towers and is aptly named Walsh Hall after the late Archbishop Thomas J.

The Seminary remained active until 1982 when the Mahwah over 440 acre campus was sold to Darlington Associates.

local expert: FOR SALE BY OWNER? Is your home available 24/7 ... - 01/28/09 04:19 AM
I know...you want to save money in this market so you want to market your home for sale as a For Sale by Owner (FSBO). Your thinking is that you will save the commission normally charged by an agent and the real estate broker. It does seem tempting to try to save money particularly in this crazy real estate climate BUT consider the following questions:
1. Do you really know what your property is worth in TODAY's market?
The reality of today's market is... that if you price your home too high, you will not sell your home. In addition, you may not … (1 comments)

 For those of you new to the area OR if you are just trying to find something new to try... I have compiled a list of area restaurants. Now I know that this list is by no means a complete and unabridged list of area eateries. Each location is a family or office favorite ( not just some name on a list ) and I have to be honest, we frequent each and every one of them!

 I have an outstanding listing in RINGWOOD, New Jersey. ( See www.15CrescentDrive.com ) This outstanding lake and mountain community is just under an hour away form NEW YORK CITY and it borders Bergen County at the town of Oakland.

local expert: Saddle River Residential Home Sales Data - July '08 - 07/21/08 04:52 AM
 REAL ESTATE is LOCAL! And, you can certainly see that from the data. In addition to sales prices --- which have come down in this bucolic and exclusive town ---  always keep an eye on the days on market and the FLP. What is FLP you might ask? Real estate jargon for final list price. The numbers below reflect a sold price of 88.41 % of the homes final listing price. This may be because homes in this town are higher than most other towns in Bergen County.
The data below is from the NJMLS from the past 2 months ending … (0 comments)

local expert: Real Estate Market Snapshot - The Numbers - Ringwood, New Jersey - 06/12/08 03:45 AM
 One of my favorite areas in New Jersey is the town of Ringwood. I spent my early childhood there and have very fond memories of learning to swim in Cupsaw Lake ( my mom held the record for swimming the length of the lake for many, many years ).
My grandparents owned a real estate brokerage there on Carltondale Road and I grew up sitting at the typewriter banging on the keys....and literally, messing up my Be-bops ( my pet name for my grandfather ) key board. Not the keyboard on the typewriter....he had a key board with all the listing … (0 comments)
