Property taxes have become a hot topic this year. People in the area are upset about their taxes and how they are effecting their pocketbook and their home values. Don Clavin, Town of Hempstead's receiver of taxes, is holding a series of property taxpayer rights forums at libraries across the town. These forums explain our property taxes, exemptions, assessments and how to challenge your assessment. I attended the one at Hewlett-Woodmere Public Library the other day and want to share some valuable information for those who were not able to attend. The biggest topic was challenging your assessment, how to do it, and what does it mean. If you feel your home is over-assessed compared to other homes with similar characteristics in your neighborhood, you should challenge your assessment. In ...

Boy doesn't HGTV make it all look so easy! Within a half an hour to an hour you find a home, make an offer, get it accepted, skip the inspection, get a mortgage, close and get the keys. WHEW! Sorry to tell you that is NOT reality - at least not in the Five Towns area of Long Island. Since the process is different all over, I thought I would take this chance to explain how the process works on Long Island from making an offer to closing. Before you even start your home search you should speak to a mortgage broker or bank and get a good solid preapproval/prequalification.  This is the only true way to know how much a bank will loan you. Once you know this you can start your home search, using this as your basis. It also sets you apart as a serious buyer - offers cannot be presented withou...

This is one of my favorite local organizations. The volunteer work that they do in and around the Five Towns Community enriches so many lives for senior citizens, children and families. They run numberous volunteer programs, sponsor speakers, host community events and advocate as well. In their own words: The National Council of Jewish Women is a volunteer organization that has been at the forefront of social change for over a century. Inspired by Jewish values, NCJW courageously takes a progressive stance on issues such as child welfare, women's rights, and reproductive freedom.  There are 90,000 members and supporters who are active at the grass roots level in more than 135 Sections in some 500 communities.  NCJW is the oldest, major Jewish women's organization in the United States, f...

There was a great Featured Blog today Why aren't we looking at that house? and many thoughtful comments as well. I do see what everyone is saying, but I have to disagree. I think that a buyer can have all the lists and must haves that they feel they need in a house, but so much of buying a home is emotional - and if they "Feel" a house, the lists go down the drain. I am only saying the because it has happened to me for both of my homes, so I know this first hand. About 20 years ago we were looking for a home. I told the Realtor everything I wanted and said but I DO NOT under any circumstances want to live in Town X. Anytime she would mention a house in that town I would dismiss her out of hand, We were looking and found nothing. One day I opened a local paper, saw a house that I had to ...
