I had an Attorney ask when the buyer could do a RADON TEST on a piece of vacant! WOW!!That's surprising! It's not very common to do radon testing on vacant land since radon tests are typically done on homes or buildings to measure indoor air quality. The buyer's attorney might be extra cautious or possibly unaware of the normal process. You might want to clarify that radon testing is more applicable after a structure is built, although in some cases, soil testing for radon can be done before construction to assess potential risks. 10/01/2024

"Phyllis, thank you for all your help and walking us through both the sale of our old home and the purchase of our newly built home.  For us, it was an overwhelming process and your expertise and patience helped us every step of the way.  You explained everything completely and your constant communication kept us updated.  You gave us all the information we needed and we could see you were serious about craft. Your knowledge of the Westchester area and real estate, in general, was a Godsend.  We were ready to give up and accept quite a bit less than we asked for our old home, but you advised us to hold firm and we benefited.  You were also there every step of the way for the purchase of our new home, which was no easy feat.  We were purchasing a new build which took much longer than exp... 10/03/2022

BUYING FORECLOSURES-Can you get them to close?I am getting ready to close on my 89th Foreclosure since I got into Real Estate. One of the reasons for this success is I have put together a great team. I use an Attorney who is not scared of the one way contract that the banks Attorneys through at the buyer. He understands that you can make it happen if you understand the rules. The other side of this team is the Mortgage Broker/Bank. My guy can get a 203K Mortgage if needed or if the home is in fair condition we can do a Normal FHA Loan. Sometimes               we can get away with a conventional one.              If the client is putting down a big enough deposit and his credit is goodwe do a Conventional Loan. And best of all we close very quickly. We can close on average within 8 weeks... 03/24/2018
