gay rosen: 2011 Hounds on the Sound
- 09/30/11 11:58 AM
I am sure you are all tugging at the leash for this event or rather your pooches are, but Sunday, October 2nd from 10-3 p.m. marks the third annual Hounds on the Sound Dog Walk and Festival at Glen Island Park in New Rochelle.
The Humane Society of New Rochelle and Pet Rescue have teamed up yet again, and it promises to be an exciting day of K-9 demonstrations, music, food, competition, vendors, a leisurely 1.5 walk with your pooches - and raising necessary funds for these two wonderful organizations while doing so.

gay rosen: Hi - Thank you for Showing - I know you did....
- 06/18/11 03:28 PM
Westchester County has embraced the Sentrilock system... It is GREAT.. they seemingly worked out the kinks of a few years past, and now it works wonderfully... we can assign our names, codes to each lockbox so we can enter into the system and see who showed the house and when... Ooops... We can also see those slightly forgetful agents who didn't feel it necessary to MAKE the appointment, and show the home....
I was checking on a vacant house this evening in New Rochelle in my Sentrilock system, and sure enough an agent had shown my listing in New Rochelle twice, … (36 comments)

gay rosen: The Seller's Pre-Inspection.....
- 05/16/11 01:42 PM
I had a wonderful listing the other year.... I say wonderful, as I really loved the home, and the home-owners.... The house had so many great attributes, and the home-owners made it very easy to show... However, Some of the feedback led to sloping floors on the second floor, and those 'know-it-all- buyers said it was structural damage and would walk away... I suggested to the sellers that we have a pre-seller's inspection from an engineer. What is that? Well, for a fraction of the cost of a 'real inspection' (in this case $250 compared to $750 in my area) you can have a licensed inspector/engineer visit the … (22 comments)

gay rosen: 6 Carol Lane, New Rochelle Open House today 1-4 p.m. March 27th
- 03/27/11 02:38 AM
This mid century modern home ( okay, yes, a split level home) located at 6 Carol Lane, New Rochelle has so much to offer... 2763 square feet, 4 bedrooms, 2 baths, additional square footage in the lower level not included (it was the way they built these homes in the 50's..) BUT several additions to die for.. The owners built an addition onto the kitchen with a vaulted ceiling, and another addition to the master bedroom that is simply huge. It could easily be the gym, nursery, office or both as the owners built a divider to separate the space (so much … (2 comments)

gay rosen: Your home will be seen across the world - even in Australia thanks to ActiveRain!
- 03/04/11 12:17 AM
I wrote a post about honoring all referrals, and I was really happy to receive a comment from down-under ! My company, Houlihan Lawrence, has an affiliation with Mayfair International Realty which represents over 350 real estate offices, and has 3 major web sites thus ensuring great coverage for my listings in Europe, and the Middle East.... but who would have thought that those subjects we write about on real estate or on our listings here in Active Rain are also reaching Australia! What a great a great sales pitch at our next listing appointment - "Oh and by the way, your property will be viewed in … (8 comments)

gay rosen: Obtain that Certificate of Occupancy BEFORE you list your house!
- 03/03/11 08:24 AM
It seems that every other listing appointment I go to, one of the bathrooms or an additional bedroom, etc. is lurking in the background.... and I see that time and time again, the homeowner can be very indignant about either listing it illegally, or not wanting to obtain the Certificate of Occupancy.. some people perhaps bought their home with an extra bathroom or two, an extra room, and were not told of those minor details. Some homeowners perhaps finished that largebasement, installed a bathroom and bedroom for the maid or guests. Oh, and yes, forgot to get the certificate of occupancy! What is that? When … (11 comments)

gay rosen: Library Station - "Coming Back" by Marcia Muller
- 03/01/11 01:24 AM
I would call this a 'woman's book... ' Not that it is a love story, but just that the characters are centered around a women's feelings, etc... and to be honest with you - I found this book a little implausible and so far fetched... The heroine, an investigator with 'locked-in syndrome' after a life threatening bullet wound to the head... She miraculously comes back - fully functioning in next to no time, and encounters a friendship along the way who mysteriously disappears.... Sharon McCone and her associates search for the missing friend.... and I can't say anything else otherwise - as … (2 comments)

gay rosen: Selling the Perfect House - YOURS!
- 01/12/11 01:44 AM
As a Certified Residential Specialist (CRS), and Certified Distressed Property Expert (CDPE), it is always my pleasure to answer any questions from friends, referrals or neighbors with regard to the value of their respective homes. While many accept the information I give to them with regard to current price per square foot, how similar/dissimilar their home is in comparison, and proposed selling range, there are times when a seller will consider his/her house to be perfect, and when it comes to pricing or listing that home, the process can be a tad overwhelming for them. There are also many questions that … (6 comments)

gay rosen: New Rochelle - Something for Everyone!
- 01/12/11 01:39 AM
New Rochelle is rich in history, and as a compliment to that history (I feel) encompasses a vast array of different architectural styles, and I can definitely say that there is something for everyone in this great city!For instance, New Rochelle’s Historic district offers wonderful, older Victorian homes that can boast 6 bedrooms or more, and if you travel down to the Sutton Manor area or Rochelle Park, you will also find some larger Victorian homes or Colonials…. some beautifully renovated, or some just waiting for your personal touches. Years ago (in what seems like a far distant market), property … (2 comments)

gay rosen: Precipitation - before the RAIN!
- 01/05/11 03:32 AM
An affirmation in case you need one (We all do!) !I think that while many of us plodded on at the end of the year,perhaps cementing transactions, having closings, planning on upcoming new listings (hopefully!) , and simply preparing for the New Year.... one fact is clear - the New Year is upon us. Now what? Are we implementing what we planned....... or do we have our head in the clouds?
I think the key thing is NOT to become overwhelmed, and feel that we must now produce after the Holidays. Surround yourself with positive people, and when you awake - … (11 comments)

gay rosen: Setting yourself apart..... Market Plan for the SELLER.....
- 01/02/11 08:03 AM
There are so many agents out there, and if your local stats define the actual working (successful) agents as being even a small portion or so of those licensed (as in the Westchester area), you are STILL competing against those other agents when you go to a listing appointment. Are you resting on your laurels?, on your company's laurels? or you treating each listing appointment as if it were your first, and are you delivering a written marketing plan to the sellers defining what you will be doing on their behalf?
I sincerely feel that we cannot call ourselves listing agents … (10 comments)

gay rosen: You checked the heat BUT did you check TODAY?
- 12/26/10 04:38 AM
Hi - with snowstorms all around us, and expecting over a good foot by tomorrow in New Rochelle, I thought it a good idea to check on a vacant property I have that is also listed over $2 Million Dollars. I am so glad I did. The house was cold, and the heat seemed not to be on. I called the owner, who gave me the number for the property manager, and then the manager said he would call the caretaker (yikes!), but am glad I went there. You never know, and when you are representing owners, no matter who is … (15 comments)

Hi - I am sure you have probably have seen this ... BUT if you haven't, here is a really funny Saturday Night Live sketch on the TSA. Everytime I see it, it makes me laugh. We haven't heard too much in the past week, so hopefully all of you who traveled this Holiday didn't encounter anything untoward! Once again, wishing you all a very Happy Holiday - and now it is time to cook the turkey and ham! New Rochelle is great! Best, Gay … (17 comments)

I just obtained an accepted offer on my listing in Pawling yesterday so not only is my owner very happy, I - and my co-listing agent are also!

OPEN HOUSE $439,999 - Alpine Ski Chalet - 1-3 p.m. Sunday 11/21/2010

gay rosen: It's not too late to send a Holiday Card!
- 12/23/10 12:23 AM
I procrastinated this year, but finally sent out my cards the other day... The reason I procrastinated was that I also sent out adjoining envelopes to many of those recipients with a quick market update... I received an email from one person last night- thanking me for the news... It's terrible that we have to keep thinking of marketing throughout this lovely season too, but it is just the way it is. If they start talking about moving over the turkey, who will they be thinking of? ... I wanted to share with you http://Jacquielawson.com/ For just $12 a year ($18 … (8 comments)
