ny: Lindenhurst NY Real Estate Sold Prices For 2010
- 01/02/11 11:52 PM
Lindenhurst NY Real Estate Sold Prices For 2010247 homes sold in Lindenhurst NY in 2010. Sold prices range from $120,000 to $610,000.

The average property tax is $8,241. The average listing price to sold price ratio is 4.46%. This means that the average home in Lindenhurst NY sold for a little less than 95% of asking price. This is why I say a good home deserves a good sold … (2 comments)

ny: The Benefits Of Hiring A Buyer's Agent
- 10/25/10 12:50 AM
The Benefits Of Hiring A Buyer's Agent I'm sure you have had friends and family say you do not have to use a real estate agent to buy a home. True, you do not have to. But it's never a good idea to be without representation. The listing agent represents the seller. They have a Exclusive Listing Agreement. That agent owes Fiduciary duties to that homeowner, not the buyers. If you, the buyer, purchase a home through the listing agent, you will not have representation. You will get fair and honest treatment. When it comes to negotiating the price of … (10 comments)

Mourning Doves Nesting At Our Front Door!
We have a large tree by our front door and I noticed last week that 2 mourning doves were building a nest in this tree. The nest was left from last year so I guess they were "rebuilding". Now we have renters? lol.
It will take about 2 weeks for the eggs to hatch so I'm keeping a close eye on it. I'm hoping to video tape the babies when they arrive. I am also trying to see if I can get my ladder to be able to peek into the nest without disturbing … (12 comments)

You Don't Have A Budget And You Wonder Why You Can't Buy A House? So many people these days do not scrutinize what they spend. You need to sit down and evaluate what you spend each week and on what. I know plenty of people that can't buy a house. Why?......
They spend an upwards of $300.00 a month on Starbucks. That is crazy! You are only adding to their profits. What is more important, equity or caffeine? Gotta get my nails done. $100.00 a month to get nails done? Why? A manicure is all you need. That costs … (9 comments)

Don't Give Up...You Will Get Results! I have had the T-Mobile family plan cell phone service for almost 2 years. I've never had a dropped call or any other problems and was always happy with their customer service....until yesterday. Back in October of 2009, my son's cell phone stopped working for no reason. He got the dreaded white, flashing screen. No problem. I went to our local T-Mobile store in Lindenhurst, NY and they exchanged it for me. In January of 2010, the same thing happened again. Yesterday, the same thing. This time I wanted a different Nokia model as … (28 comments)

Sears Scratch & Dent Appliance Center West Babylon NY
Located in the K-Mart shopping center on Montauk Highway and across the street from the Great South Bay Shopping Center.
The appliance center is also known as the "scratch & dent" place. Most of the appliances do not have a single dent or even have scratches on them. I can attest to this since I bought a washing machine from them last year and it doesn't have one single scratch or dent. It must have been a floor model. It did come with a 90 day warranty and I haven't had any … (6 comments)

New York Real Estate Agency Disclosure
I Ain't Signing No Stinkin' Form!!
As a Realtor, I do open houses for clients and also other agents as a favor when they are stuck.
New York State requires us Realtors to give buyers the Agency Disclosure form to let them know that Realtors work for the seller, what a Buyer's Agent is and it also explains Dual Agency.
I am amazed at how many consumers do not understand what this all means. They automatically think they are signing a contract. It is NOT a contract.
Lately, I'm coming across many buyer's who … (17 comments)

Finding A Realtor To Help Sell Your Home In Babylon, West Babylon & Lindenhurst Long Island, Isn't Rocket Science... A Realtor works for you, the seller, plain and simple. Here are some things that are crucial in getting your home sold:
My job is to make sure you get 12 pictures of your home into our local MLS system. Not 1, 3 or 6, but 12. They are to be clear and they have to showcase each room. If a picture is too close-up, like just showing a bed and not the rest of the room, it won't give a … (11 comments)

Short Sale Federal Program To Start April 5th, 2010
For those of you that do not know, the Obama administration is trying to encourage home owners to take the short sale route to avoid foreclosure.
In short, (no pun intended :)) a short sale is when you have to sell your home for less than what you owe on your mortgage. It's also better on your credit than a foreclosure. As of now, it will take 3 to 5 years before you can get a mortgage. With a foreclosure, you are looking at, at least 10 years or more before … (8 comments)
