five towns long island: I want to trade up my house....like I traded up my car - 04/21/11 03:11 AM
I got a call the other day from a woman whose home I had listed a couple of years ago. Unfortunately what she owed on the home was a lot more than the home was worth, To make matters worse it was a 2 bedroom home in a less desirable neighborhood. Her listing expired with minimal showings. (She did not want to discuss alternatives such as short sale)
So, she calls yesterday and wants to sell her house again. I explained again that she will not get what she owes on the house based on the house size aand the current market … (14 comments)

five towns long island: My Journey as a Seller - The Beginning - 03/24/11 08:47 AM
For many reasons my husband and I have decided it is time to downsize. We just don't need all the space anymore.
With the shoe now being on the other foot, I thought I would keep this online blog/diary of my Journey as a seller. The emotions, the sweat, the trials, the tribulations and hopefully the victory and then my follow up Journey as a Buyer!
When we decided it was time to sell I began to look at my house differently. From the eye of an outsider, of a potential buyer.  And WOW is it a trip.
