sullivan county ny real estate: But the Listing is STILL ACTIVE!
- 01/06/17 10:17 AM
The listing still says active but you are telling me it has an accepted offer. Why? When a buyer is looking at listings that say they are active they are often surprised to find out from me that the listing has an accepted offer. Why is it still showing as active and can I still see it are the common questions I get after telling them of the offer. The listings in our MLS show as active until both the buyer and seller have signed an attorney approved contract which can take a month or more after acceptance. A buyer will … (3 comments)

- 02/19/15 04:59 AM
Do you have a house on the market during this cold and snowy winter? If you do and it is vacant you should be prepared to pay for snow removal. It is absolutely essential you keep your driveway and sidewalks cleared of snow. As a Real Estate Buyer’s Agent I have been surprised at many listings over the years that have not been cleared. In some cases my buyer clients and I have lumbered over the snow piles to view the home and in others there was literally no place safe to park near to the house and we have … (19 comments)

sullivan county ny real estate: Looking for a Home with a Buyer's Agent - It's All About You!!!
- 07/29/08 11:25 PM
In my Multiple Listing Service any agent can set up an automatic feed of new listings and price reductions to be sent to their prospective buyer customers and clients. Some real estate agents take advantage of this service and "set it and forget it" as it were. They wonder why they get so few calls back from the buyers. They ask why I am able to retain more buyer leads then they are. The secret is I don't use the automatic feature. I look at each listing that comes up in my buyer's search criteria and determine if it is right for them. … (20 comments)

- 07/02/08 12:57 AM
Pine Bush is a quaint village within the Town of Crawford NY. Settled in the mid to late 1700's, the Town of Crawford was incorporated in 1832. The village of Pine Bush is the heart of the town. The picture below is a historical postcard view of a portion of Main Street. If you come to Pine Bush you will see many of the same buildings today, as a matter of fact my office is the building on the right. The village has done much to bring back that historic feeling by installing antique styled lighting along Main Street.

- 06/12/08 11:04 AM
One of the most attractive sights of our rural locations are open fields and beautiful farms. Nothing is prettier than coming over a rise to see a herd of cattle grazing or an orchard of fruit trees reaching as far as the eye can see. It is a draw that encourages many people to move nearby for a chance at the simple life but if you are planning to move to a location with working agricultural properties you need to be aware of the "facts of life" in a farming location. As a potential home buyer you need to be prepared for the common … (7 comments)
How Dark Is Dark? Thoughts About Nights In the Country.
It is beautiful at night in more rural areas. You will see more stars than you have ever seen before. It is truly an amazing sight when I go outside and look up on a clear night. There are more shooting stars to wish upon and a clearer view of the constellations. The reason for this is that the further away from the lights of the city and more heavily populated suburbs the less artificial light is put out into the night. When … (6 comments)

sullivan county ny real estate: How To Look For Real Estate.
- 05/29/08 01:09 AM
If you are thinking of buying a house or a piece of property you should be looking for an agent to work for you. If you look for someone who promises you that they will find you exactly what you are looking for at the lowest price possible then you are asking to work with someone who is not being truthful with you. None of the properties available at any given time will meet all of your wants and if, by some miracle, you could find the perfect property I can assure you of one thing, it won't be the "deal of … (6 comments)
