Happy Mother's Day to all the loving mothers and mother figures in the world! We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for being in our lives and lifting us up. Here is a photo of Mom (Carole Provenzale), with my brother (on the right) and myself (on the left). I call this photo, the lioness with her two cubs. In regard to what year this image was taken, I'm not sure, but I can say it was sometime around the late 90s.Since Mom's passing in 2010, naturally, there has been a lot of transformation within the family and in ways I would have never imagined. I'll give you a very short version. A few years after Mom's passing, my brother got married and became a father in 2021, which makes me an auntie! During the height of the pandemic in 2020, my half-sister, Stephanie (both of us were ado... 05/14/2023

    The video above is of the Music for People's "Improvisation for All" Weekend Event in May 2023   I'll be honest, when I first heard about Music for People I had no idea what that meant. However, I was really inspired to attend their Molloy University workshop last year in May 2022 because the world was 'reopening' and the thirst for social reconnection was so great. Let me provide a bit of a backstory to help catch you up.   The "Improvisation for All" weekend workshop was hosted at Molloy University by a not-for-profit organization called, Music for People, which was originally founded by cellist David Darling and flutist Bonnie Insull around the 1980s. The philosophy behind Music for People is to create a social music improvisation platform that is accessible to ALL, no matter yo... 05/10/2023

Today was a wonderful visit down Feng Shui memory lane. A women's group inquired about experiencing a guided walking tour of the first Feng Shui-designed and LEED Certified hotel on Long Island, called The Viana Hotel and Spa. The Viana Hotel and Spa was a Feng Shui project my mother, Carole Provenzale and I worked on together back in 2007.During the tour, the women's group learned about all the Feng Shui details that went into the overall architectural planning and interior design decisions for every aspect of the building's creation.This particular Feng Shui tour was truly special. May is the month of honoring Mother's, while at the same time, May is also the anniversary of Mom's passing (May 18th, 2010) and the anniversary of the Viana Hotel and Spa's grand opening (May 19th, 2013). ... 05/02/2023

 I have been reading all the comments by the political pundits and the public about accepting and not accepting or agreeing with Gov. KathyHochul’s proposal for 800,000 new units of housing that needs to be constructed over the next 10 years.  I believe in my professional opinion that the concept is exactly what is absolutely needed to keep our consumers, especially Millennials, GenZs, and all others from exiting New York State.However, the proposal was way too authoritarian to exact an executive order to usurp all local zoning rules, regulations, and laws, which I believe is absolutely the wrong method and solution to pursue in solving our lack of housing.We have been losing population for the last 10 years (180,000-plus just in 2022) even though former Gov. Cuomo’s idea of trying to a... 04/27/2023

We have been extremely lucky this past winter, with the least amount of snow falling locally as well as the longest wait (Feb 1st) for snowfall in 150 years, which barely measured 0.4 inches according to The Weather Channel.  On the other hand, California and other areas out west had the 2nd highest record snowfalls in the Sierra Nevada Mountains of 56.4 feet, the 6th snowiest on record dating back to 1869.  It has completely eliminated the severe drought that has plagued California and other surrounding states and locations.  The surprising thing was that I saw crocuses and other small flowers blooming in February which I had never experienced in the past.  This led me to think about the exterior of my own home and plan what I would be planting this spring.  Out on Long Island, the gro... 04/22/2023

  0      It sure does appear that our market is still moving expeditiously along, although in some areas it’s a bit slower depending on the listing price, type of property, location and school district as well as the negotiability of the sellers today.   There are still some buyers who qualify for a mortgage and are putting down 20% to 30% with 700 credit scores or better and low debt/income ratios, making it easier to qualify for their financing. Then again, there are others purchasing for cash and buying outright without any financing.  This appears to be relevant in the states and locations where a majority of purchasers have moved from higher-priced states.   The top 10 states that have had losses in population in 2022 and 2023 (and some over the last 10 years) are New York, Illinoi... 04/13/2023

     I am not sure which is more neglected these days, the upkeep of your home or one’s yearly physical.  I am fairly sure that it would be a tie as many homes’ interior and exterior need anywhere from some basic fixes to major repairs and upgrades.  I also know from conversing with many people, that there are those that also neglect their yearly checkups, colonoscopies (after age 50), or even going to the dentist on a regularly scheduled basis. It doesn’t always matter what the income may be, people procrastinate and put off personal things and agendas because they may not have the budget, don’t care or just plain don’t worry about anything, until an issue or emergency arises. If and when you are ready to sell, it is important to have your home prepared before your buyer’s inspection.... 03/07/2023

All Things Real Estate:       With all the buzz lately about AI, I have been pondering this weekend as to what the future will look like with the technology that has been and will be created going forward.  Take ChatGPT, a product of OpenAI, which Microsoft recently funded with $10 billion. Microsoft had previously provided startup capital for the company back in 2019 and 2020. How will this application potentially affect property, investors, and our real estate industry locally, nationally and globally?  I truly believe we are already in Web 3.0, a new era for the worldwide web, and evolving along at hyper-speed with artificial intelligence as well as the blockchain technology that will provide the power for decentralization, free digital identities with crypto wallets, and open digita... 02/24/2023

In the last few weeks, I have had several inquiries concerning capital gains on the sale of one’s primary residence.  There is a multitude of variables that come into play.  It would be smart to strategize and determine in advance of selling if there will be any capital gains to be paid.The first step is to check out those homes that have sold recently (in the last three months) in your area that are similar to yours in terms of bedrooms, baths, EIK, interior square footage, lot size, and condition. Then take that price and do a hypothetical calculation. You can use the following as an example:∙Comparable sale:                        $975,000∙Your original purchase price:       -$∙All capital improvements:           -$∙Married:                                   -$500,000∙Or single:     ... 02/24/2023

Homeowners sometimes forget one of the most important life-saving preventative maintenance and a simple chore to do in their home or apartment is to replace the batteries in the fire and smoke alarm.  This must be done on a yearly basis or as needed; when a red light flashes or you hear a slight beeping sound.  If you are hardwired via your electrical current for your detectors then you are in the most advantageous position for safety. According to an article in February 2021, by the National Fire Association with its 50,000 members, the following was found in a report that they published about home fires:1.) Smoke alarms were present in three-quarters (74 percent) of reported home fires in 2014–2018.2.) Almost three out of five home fire deaths were caused by fires in properties with n... 02/06/2023
