I've been in real estate for almost 30 years and I've seen a lot, but I've never seen anything like this before. I recently sold a lovely young couple their "forever" family home. He's a local fireman and she's a teacher. The house dates back to the 1920's, and my buyers knew that it needed quite a bit of updating.

The home inspector had pointed out a number of issues common … (1 comments)

westchester real estate market: Dancing Room Only at the Capitol Theatre in Westchester
- 01/22/14 09:39 AM

Like bookends, these dark-haired guitarists took the stage dressed all in black, backed by a full band – and the audience went crazy for them. Everyone enjoyed their powerful adult, romantic, emotional rock. The sisters are getting very popular now. Recently, Taylor Swift had them come on one of her shows … (0 comments)
