southold: How To Find Long Island REO/Foreclosures
- 03/04/12 03:44 AM
My brother called yesterday, and is moving back east, from Alabama to New Jersey. Because he’s aware that we list bank owned properties, he had a simple question: HOW DO I FIND THE FORECLOSURES in New Jersey without paying a fee to a website? While I’m not familiar with the MLS in New Jersey, the Multiple Listing System of Long Island (MLSLI) is the source for listed bank owned properties on Long Island- asset companies and banks require that all listings be entered into the local MLS by the Realtor assigned the asset. Unfortunately, there is not a tab that offers … (4 comments)
southold: General Wayne Inn in Southold on the North Fork
- 10/19/08 02:05 PM
Authored by: Laurie Mindnich October 19th, 2008 When we first moved to Southold, New York in 2002, there was a structure in our neighborhood called the General Wayne Inn. Situated oddly, Sean’s father explained that he had in fact dined at this opulent eatery located in the residential area of Bayview- it was a destination spot often navigated on foot, as those in the area were able to combine a nice walk with a fine meal. The building was abandoned when we viewed it, but still intact- clearly devastated by a fire of some sort, it was destined to deteriorate without immediate … (22 comments)
We were heading to the annual Clambake courtesy of the Flanders Men’s Club. While there were a few errands to run, the day was interrupted when that magnet sucked my car into a parked position. As happens so often on the North Fork of Long Island in the summer, locals and vendors pick a sunny day, and the race is on for those looking for that SOMETHING. Or ten. Below are a few photos of the ultimate tag sale experience on the North Fork of Long Island. Until next weekend.

southold: Why Retire on the North Fork of Long Island?
- 09/09/07 09:56 AM
September 9th, 2007 A question was posed to me recently about the benefits and/or motivation involved for individuals that choose to locate a retirement / second home on the North Fork of Long Island. For those individuals approaching their fifties, thoughts about where to “be” when the kids are gone is one that niggles- ideas about personal freedom and lower taxes notwithstanding, a very important factor is a “family friendly” location.
Being close, yet…a vacation away. For those of you that live mid-island, or in close proximity to the city, your transition from family home to ease of 55-plus living … (18 comments)
southold: Saturday morning in Southold, New York…
- 08/10/07 08:48 AM
Authored by: Laurie Mindnich August 10th, 2007 A sunny Saturday morning in Southold, New York is a day that I relish. While weekdays are often packed with things to do in the North Fork of Long Island, Saturday for me is special in the summer. This Saturday, the North Fork was full of tag sales. It’s in the Yard Salers Corner section of the Suffolk Times newspaper, right after the real estate section. In the summer, there are two full columns of enticement, and this Saturday was no different.
Some people in the North Fork take these tag … (3 comments)
southold: Alzheimers And Real Estate
- 07/04/07 03:48 PM
uly 4th, 2007 One of the most difficult diseases for families to accept is Alzheimer’s Disease. It is also common enough to wreak havoc on the best of financial situations if denial is present. Having experienced it first hand with my Grandmother, I’d like to share an exceptional book that will guide you through the maze. Additionally, some pointers learned the hard way. The book is titled, “The 36 Hour Day”, authored by Nancy L. Mace MA and Peter V. Rabins, MD. Some pointers (learned the hard way, in my own experience): If behavior becomes odd- repetitive communication, name confusion (in … (18 comments)
