White kitchen cabinets have remained the popular kitchen cabinet favorite color, especially if you're selling your home. But designers are looking at those who will be living in the home for many years. They suggest your kitchen can and should be unique. You are going to be spending endless time in your kitchen and recommend it should be a space reflecting your style and the color that makes you most happy.The one above and below would never be my choice. How about you?We saw these at a large kitchen showroom and the salesperson said they sold both in bathrooms. Bottom Line: Make it Yours!  Sheila

We all use this term "Pre-Approved" But some Mortgage people use it with out actually doing the work that should go into a "Pre-Approval" Read Below to get a good insite into this!!! Original content by Lenn Harley 303829;0225082372 What's the most over-used term in the land of real estate sales?? PRE-APPROVED!!!What's the term most used by home buyers in real estate transactions?I UNDERSTAND!!! Shucks.  If a home buyer can be Pre-Approved, why not issue a LOAN COMMITTMENT letter??? That would at least identify the price of the house, interest rate and length of the commitment. What most home buyer/borrowers don't usually understand is the conditions identified in that Pre-Approval, if they are, in fact listed. A Pre-Approval letter is quite worthless unless it lists those items requir...

Many Realtors went up to Albany on March 27-28.  This was our yearly pilgrimage and ritual to discuss and have a dialogue concerning proposals for new laws and regulations and their effect on real estate.  It was also the chance to explore current laws and ways to enhance and upgradethem for the current business environment in New York State.Their effect can be dramatic and costly for consumers and purchasers.  Laws that are enacted sometimes harm Realtors involved in the real estate industry in New York State.One of the major topics was the power that co-op boards have over purchasers, especially having to fill out an immense amount of paperwork providing a large amount of personal information. This is not a requirement when buying a condominium, townhouse, or HOA.As many as 1,500 page...

(Turn Key Real Estate)
Philip A Raices -April 8, 2024   In the current real estate market, purchasing a co-op has been challenged by the rules and regulations that go hand in hand with completing the required board application and successfully passing the interview. Acceptable income, credit, and debt-to-income ratios will go a long way in reaching that happy ending. However, all boards in Nassau County have no outside oversight and accountability, as Suffolk County does. When a board turns down an applicant there, the board must respond within 45 days to explain to the respective applicant the reason or reasons why. In Nassau, there aren’t regulations that provide feedback to the purchaser when they are turned down. This allows those few who may indiscriminately decide not to allow a buyer to purchase. Disc...
