Savvy Buyers Beware ! Yes, it's a buyer's market, and there is no doubt about that, BUT highly desirable properties can still sell virtually overnight or in as little as 30-90 days. Due to its close proximity to Manhattan and other points South, Rockland County remains a sought after investment by many savvy purchasers. I've been hearing recently of buyers who take months and months to decide on their purchase. They'll see 50-60 houses. This is all takes a lot of time. During that time, one of the properties they've seen and liked may not be there when they finally feel they've "seen enough" and come back to it. The chart below bears this out. I did a search for properties listed in Pearl River since January 1st of 2008. I did not search by List Price. My ONLY CRITERIA was to search by... 06/27/2008

BIO: As a child growing up in New York City, I was very active in sports. One of my early and most exciting memories is of playing in a little league baseball game one afternoon. My parents were watching and cheering me on from the sidelines, as I came up to bat and belted one, deep i... 03/26/2008

I have been a member of the Rockland County Board of Realtors for some time now.  It is a great way to become involved in your local real estate network.  Each month they mail out a newsletter that lists the board of directors and the affiliate members and articles relating to local issues.  When I joined the RCBOR was nice enough to create a affiliate designation for Home Stagers.  So far I am the only proud member, but as the industry grows I'm sure more stagers will join.  Recently I was invited to contribute an article to the RCBOR newsletter.  Each month they do a member spotlight highlighting one of the affiliate members.  I was thrilled to be included.  Below is the article that will be appearing in the September Newsletter.  Everyone in the real estate industry should join their... 08/09/2007
