Another Fisherman's Wharf at Babylon Coop Sold!
This one bedroom coop at Fisherman's Wharf in West Babylon was listed for $160,000 and sold for $155,000. That is 3.2% below list price. The average list price to sold price ratio for West Babylon coops during 2013 is 5% below list price.
Nice when the seller and buyer are both happy. The closing took less than an hour which is a record breaker.
Putting more money in your pocket is what I do for a living.

jackie connelly fornuff: Why Do I Need an Elevation Certificate When Selling my Lindenhurst NY House?
- 01/20/14 08:08 PM
Why Do I Need an Elevation Certificate When Selling my Lindenhurst NY House?
When selling your Lindenhurst NY house and you are in a flood zone, you have to get an Elevation Certificate. You hire a land surveyor or architect (they have to be licensed to survey land) and they certify the elevation of your home against the bay, ocean or any other body of water you live near including natural lakes and streams.
The reason you have to get an Elevation Certificate before you sell is because mortgage banks are not closing loans without one as of October 1st, … (2 comments)

jackie connelly fornuff: How Incorrect Information in a Listing Can Cost You a Buyer
- 01/07/14 11:07 PM
How Incorrect Information in a Listing Can Cost You a Buyer
One of the most important pieces of information in a listing besides the listing price are the property taxes.
I showed a fabulous Lindenhurst NY short sale house to a buyer recently. It had everything: spacious rooms, beautiful kitchen and baths, gorgeous hardwood floors and high end carpeting, master suite, crown molding, full basement, and a garage that would make any man drool.
So, what's the problem you ask? When I verified the property taxes with the Town of Babylon they were almost $3,000 higher than stated in the listing. … (8 comments)

jackie connelly fornuff: How To Grieve Taxes in the Town of Babylon?

How To Grieve Taxes in the Town of Babylon?
From Mid-April through the 3rd Tuesday in May, which is May 20th, 2014, you can apply for a property tax grievance in the Town of Babylon. The form can be obtained from the Assessor's Office at 200 Sunrise Highway in Lindenhurst NY. Tax grievance forms can be dropped off or mailed but make sure you mail them on time.
I also think it is better that you hire someone to do the tax grievance for you. They have many years of experience and in most cases can tell you if the town will … (4 comments)

jackie connelly fornuff: Will Updating Half of My Long Island NY Home Hurt the Other Half?
- 11/06/13 12:01 AM
Will Updating Half of My Long Island NY Home Hurt the Other Half?
It really depends upon which half you update and which half you leave alone. If you update the kitchen, freshly paint the other rooms, rip up carpeting and finish the hardwood floors underneath but leave the basement alone, then no.
The style of home matters as well. A home that flows nicely from room to room and all on one level can make a difference compared to a home that has multiple levels.
When I show homes and see the downstairs is nicely updated but the upstairs … (3 comments)

jackie connelly fornuff: How Flexible is My Seller?
- 10/15/13 02:45 AM
How Flexible is My Seller?
One thing I do appreciate is when a real estate agent calls to find out how "flexible" my seller is with the list price. They do this because their buyers are only prequalified up to a certain amount and do not want to waste my time, their time and my client's time.
Buyers think they will get a steal by sellers accepting their offer based on their highest mortgage prequalification amount. In my client's case, she is not going to accept $55,000 below the list price since we are already priced perfectly.
Buyers do this … (5 comments)

jackie connelly fornuff: Sex X 4 = Mo' Money
- 08/14/13 07:26 AM
Sex X 4 = Mo' Money
According to the Institute of the Study of Labor, people that have sex 4 or more times per week earn higher wages. Really? I have got to talk to my husband! :)
They said people that have a healthy sex life are healthy in general and are not depressed. More sex does not mean a hefty raise but they have found these people to be happier, have higher self-esteem and better reasoning ability. Workers with health issues make less money since their productivity is limited.

10 Things From The Past I Know You Do Not Know About Me
When I was 14 I snuck out of the house through my bedroom window to hang out with my friends. When I climbed back in my bedroom my Mom was waiting for me. My dog "told" on me because he was pacing the floors and crying which woke up my Mom. The fear on her face was enough for me to never do that again!
I was a "tomboy" growing up. We used to take our skateboards and make ramps to skateboard over cars. To this day, I … (15 comments)
