cathy cataletto: STATEN ISLAND REAL ESTATE FALLS FORWARD - 10/03/11 11:28 AM
Wow, where has the time gone?  Fall again, and the buzz is how bad the real estate market is.  I have found that though I am not shaking rattling and rolling, I am holding my own with sales. 
With all the years experience I have under my belt, and even though I have never experienced a market where the interest rates were at the lowest as well as home prices, the market is still DOABLE!
The more I continue to educate my clients, the more we're able to work together to reach their goals. 
At this point in time, pricing and condition … (2 comments)

cathy cataletto: STATEN ISLAND, NEW YORK HOMES FOR SALE IN THE WINTER - 01/26/11 10:40 AM
A client asked me 6 weeks ago, what is the best time to list your home.  Should we wait until the summer, or is spring a better time.
With the years of me selling real estate, history does repeat itself and this holds true to this question.
My answer to her was "There is a no time better time to sell a home then when that one buyer sees it on the market"
Taking my experience into consideration and seeing it with the proof I was able to show her with my other listings, she decided to list her home.

cathy cataletto: Staten Island, New York Real Estate Agent With Update on Home Buyer's Tax Credit Extention - 06/30/10 01:04 AM
 
HOME BUYERS TAX CREDIT  
(Reuters) - The House of Representatives on Tuesday approved giving extra time to thousands of homebuyers trying to get a popular federal tax credit by the end of the month.

The House backed by a vote of 409-5 a measure to extend the closing deadline to September 30 for buyers who already met the April 30 deadline to have a signed contract. The current deadline requires those buyers to close the transaction by June 30 to receive the $8,000 tax credit for first-time homebuyers.The Senate must still approve the measure before President Barack Obama can … (2 comments)

cathy cataletto: Selling or Buying homes on Staten Island...INTERNET, NEWSPAPERS, MAGAZINES OH MY!. - 04/24/10 07:28 AM

INTERNET, NEWSPAPERS, MAGAZINES OH MY!...Everyone knows that the internet is the way to go to market a home.I'm using it right now to voice my opinion and you're using it to read what I'm writing...So obviously it is something that we all agree on and use frequently...

Some don't understand English well, some can't read or write well, some are afraid of technology, … (0 comments)

cathy cataletto: HOUSE FOR SALE, STATEN ISLAND, SEE WHY A REAL ESTATE SALESPERSON WOULD LIST HER OWN HOME - 04/14/10 06:43 AM

Why would some one hiring a real estate salesperson to sell their home?  Why would someone pay a commission in order for a real estate salesperson to find a buyer?  Why would an owner, who's bought and sold a house or two before need some help?  Why would an owner remove a for sale by owner to have a real estate sign there instead?

There is so much here that I can get into, but I will try to stay very basic and get to the point by personalizing with you.
First let me say that I have been a real … (2 comments)

It's important that Nicolas Cage's foreclosed home "should go to someone who wants to live there." Shapiro said. The person who will buy the house will be a resident. It's not going to be a speculator, because there's not enough money in it to flip it, he said.

cathy cataletto: Staten Island, Real Estate Agent would like to share the history of the Easter Parade - 04/02/10 11:36 PM

(picture above thanks to MY chocolate lab puppy Mocha Latte')
 
    The Easter parade is an American cultural event consisting of a festive strolling procession on Easter Sunday. Typically, it is a somewhat informal and unorganized event, with or without religious significance. Persons participating in an Easter parade traditionally dress in new and fashionable clothing, particularly ladies' hats, and strive to impress others with their finery. The Easter parade is most closely associated with Fifth Avenue in New York City, but Easter parades are held in many other cities. Starting as a spontaneous event in the 1870s, the New York parade became … (2 comments)

cathy cataletto: House Hunting in Tottenville, Staten Island, New York took an unexpected turn... - 03/17/10 12:45 PM

As my Clients and I were House Hunting, the Buyer noticed a low helicopter coming in our direction.  We could see it was a NYPD helicopter and there was another helicopter behind him.

We got into my car and I went toward the helicopters direction.  We went to the end of Sprague Avenue and witnessed the NYPD helicopter landing on the beach to the left toward Jolene Street.  I parked the car and we all decided to check out the unusual event. 
As we walked in the sand it became apparent that they were there for a specific reason.  The other … (2 comments)
