  Last year I wrote a post about the 4th of July events in Lower Westchester and it was a huge success.  I even had people calling me for directions.  Although going to the city is great – the Westchester to NYC commute can be painful on a busy holiday. And there really isn’t any need -there is p...

We are definitely in the “Dog Days” of summer – my Siberian Huskies have morphed  from outdoor dogs to indoor couch potatoes in search of the comfort of the AC.    Somehow temperatures close to 95 with high humidity don’t square well with the physiology of a dog that was bred to withstand tempera...

Many of my colleagues in the real estate  industry are very right-wing.   Someone wrote a post about giving BP a break – I wrote a blistering response – or something closer to a tirade about how the far-right preaches personal responsibility UNTIL it comes to  a large corporate entity. Then we s...

This is a great post clarifying the situation.  If you did not have a home under contract by April 30, this DOES NOT apply to you. There are no new tax credits coming down the pipeline.  For those who are under contract - IT IS NOT A DONE DEAL!!! Make sure you have your paperwork together and are...

It is my sincere hope that this is received in the manner with which it was intended.  It is not at all a slam at long-time agents.  Some of these long-time agents that are now approaching retirement are wonderful professionals.  They may no longer be in the game full- time, but when they do work...

This is  a great read about why having a buyer's agent on new construction is so important.  Buyer's NEED representation in these situations.  Shiny new is a big temptation, but some of these newer complexes hold higher financial risk to the consumer than resales.  This is particularly true in co...

Although I don't deal with many short sales and REOs - this blog needs to be reposted. My feeling is that the more bad publicity BOA gets - the better.I have clients that have been negotiating a loan modification with this bank for 1.5 years now. They have sent in all that has been required and r...

The Condo Inventory Overhang: A few years ago a post like this would have been an afterthought.  Perhaps it would have even been laughed at as overkill.  The condo and cooperative markets were on fire as the prime entry points into a market in which a single family home was a out of reach for th...
