"What the Hell is This?"
Those were the words I spewed when I saw that electric panel while showing a really nice house that an investor flipped. I am not a home inspector but I know that is a bad electric panel.
It was really disheartening to see because the rest of the house was beautifully redone inside including the front porch. The yard needed help but that is minimal.

Seriously? This was the worse house flip I have ever seen. Most I see have new … (14 comments)

My Real Estate Agent Friend Said......
You hire a real estate agent to sell your Long Island home instead of a friend (smart move). But, your friend places bugs in your ear about why hasn't your home sold since it has been a few weeks? Maybe that friend is hurt that you didn't hire them and is now offering "advice".
You are calling, texting and emailing your agent because now you are frustrated after only a few weeks of being on the market. Now your agent is frustrated because you are telling them, "my real estate agent friend said the … (42 comments)

Why Too Much Love Can Cost Thousands
It is that time when Mom and Dad have to sell their home you grew up in because it is too much for them to take care of. You help them find a local real estate agent you trust and you get the home on the market......overpriced at $329,000 which is against your real estate agent's advice because $299,000 was giving the house away to you. The comparable home sale report given to you doesn't lie but you are the expert right?
Three offers the first week. Two at $300,000 and one at $305,000. … (3 comments)

7 Misconceptions About Realtors®
There are so many misconceptions the public has about Realtors®. Whether it is from their own experience or hearing "stories" from other people. I'm hoping this will help more folks realize Realtors® are hard working and always have their clients best interests at heart.
"You make so much money" - Of course you would think that. You see that big fat check that is handed over to pay the commission at the closing table made payable to the Broker. After an agent's commission split and other fees, your Realtor® receives much less. It is simple math: $10,000 … (6 comments)
