It is not uncommon to receive a counter offer when the initial purchase offer has been submitted. Don't let this discourage you (and don't be insulted). We will discuss the counter offer and decide whether or not to accept the counter offer or reject the counter offer and move on. Market conditions will play a role in how aggressively we negotiate the sale. We will also work within your buyers limits. Emotions can lead to buyer's remorse. It is better to set limits prior to negotiating an offer and stick to these limits. NewYorkMarketValue can help you right from the beginning!!

This is one of the questions I get asked more often than any other.  "They sold the house at 123 XYZ street. Do you know how much it sold for".  Often the person asking the question will be a bit surprised as to my findings. "But the neighbor said they got X amount more then what you're telling me Vincent". Guess what... sometimes they're a bit embarrased to have to admit the best offer wasn't what they said it was. I can find out how much any home sold for in Queens, Brooklyn and Long Island if the home was listed on the MLS.  After the sale closes the information is published. . . but not until after it closes. So if you're wondering what your neighbor's home sold for email me ProRealtor@verizon.net to get the facts of record. After all, what they sold it for will affect your property... 07/13/2008

Both the best and worst thing about Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay is that you get precisely what you expect. This is generally a good thing, because I enjoyed the first flick quite a bit, and loved how one of its goals involved skewering racial stereotypes. Most movies dealing with discrimination and bigotry are forthright and humorless, and they've been that way since the start. It simply integrated the actuality of narrow-mindedness which comes naturally while living as a minority in America. The movie recognized this situation, and dealt with it comically. For Harold & Kumar 2, the goals are still the same, with, not surprisingly, the intention of being even more extreme-- more vulgar, more nudity, and, yes, more confrontations of stereotypes. For example, in one scene, H... 06/05/2008

If you do find yourself dealing with infestation, virtually all experts advise calling a pest management professional to help identify the termites, determine the extent of infestation, and recommend a prompt, effective control program. Currently, there are three types of treatments available for use by the professional: soil treatments, wood treatments and baits.Soil treatments are liquid termiticides diluted with water to ensure adequate coverage in the soil. Injection of this system in the soil creates a treated area that repels or reduces the population of termites and covers the structure with a long-term protection. This is the most commonly used system and may be used in combination with baits and/or wood treatment.Wood treatments involve treating infested wood or potentially inf... 03/26/2008
