This week I received such a kind note from a couple I had been working with to find their perfect home.  They finally closed on it and are so happy which makes ME happy.  This is what this job is all about.  Deb, WE MADE IT!!!! I have to say thank you for all of your hard work and dedication that you put into finding a home for  me and Di. This has been a long time coming. You put 110 percent in which not too many people do, the funny memories of looking at houses and dealing with weather and waiting for inspections will be memories we will have forever and we will cherish. We got a very dear and close friend as we went through this process, words can't describe how appreciative we are for what you have done, god bless, happy holidays!               Love Ya,               Dan and Di

If you are an NBA fan than you know the season has already begun.  If you have been looking to get to a game and didn't know the schedule you can print this out and make plans to get your tickets for the New York Knicks.  Don't wait too long - these tickets go quick!  For an action packed evening this is a fun activity for the whole family.  (Well maybe not the little ones - LOL)

I received this note from a client who really hung in there through a tough sale recently.  This is one of the reasons I love my job.  Thank YOU Frank!!   Debra was extremely useful in securing the sale of my home, she worked very hard the whole time. Even with all the ups and downs with the buyer that we went through, she stuck right with it and got me the best price I could get to make me happy. I would definitely use her again and recommend her any time to someone who is selling or buying. Thank you again Debra! Frank

Texting-while-driving death statistics are frightening – more than 3,000 deaths last year were attributed to distracted driving.  Governor Cuomo signed a new law to make texting while driving a primary traffic offense.  Law enforcement now has the power to stop motorists solely for using a hand held electronic device. The Governor announced this week that during the first months of 2012, more than 65,000 motorists were ticketed for using an electronic device while driving. This week, Governor Cuomo launched a second Operation Hang Up campaign to further the efforts to reduce distracted driving. Join the fight to keep New York’s roads safe:  DON'T TEXT AND DRIVE.    Click here to learn more about the Operation Hang Up enhanced enforcement campaign. With the enactment of new texting laws,...

Just in time for Spring, New Yorkers are getting a much-needed tax break. As of April 1st, we’ll no longer have to pay the four percent state portion of the sales tax on clothing and footwear purchases up to $110 per item. This will save consumers an estimated $210 million over the year. Governor Cuomo’s plan, which took effect January 1st, included a new personal income tax rate that will save middle class New Yorkers over $690 million annually. Under the new rate structure, middle class New Yorkers are now paying the lowest tax rates in 58 years. This means that the average New Yorker will save between $300 and $400 in income taxes for 2012. The Governor and the Legislature's plan also eliminated the MTA payroll tax for over 700,000 taxpayers who own small businesses or make less than...

I was headed past the animal farm this week and this goose was in the road (as it often is) and this time it came right up to the car as if he/she wanted to hop in.  I snapped this with my cell phone before he/she waddled away chattering on and on.

Tell Enterprise Rent-a-Car to stop fighting against a law that would ban renting recalled cars. This is a sad story that started with two young sisters who were killed in an Enterprise rental car that had recall issues.  It should have been taken off the lot to be repaired but never was.  Rosemary Shahan, president of Consumers for Auto Reliability and Safety (carconsumers.org), says lobbyists for rental car companies told her last year at a meeting in the State Capitol Building in Sacramento that their companies sometimes needed to rent cars under recall, particularly during busy holiday weekends. In just a matter of days, Congress is set to consider a new law that would force rental car companies to fix recalled cars, but Enterprise Rent-a-Car is lobbying against it -- and hard. Enter...

    February 2012  Market Update   2012 is off to a promising start. Mortgage rates continue to drop and have remained under 4% for nearly two months. Home sales are strengthening and pending home sales, a measure to gauge future sales, are at their highest levels since March 2010. Job growth has been increasing for most of 2011, with unemployment dropping to 8.4%. As more people are getting jobs, consumer confidence has also been increasing.  However, underemployment continues to be a problem for a stronger recovery. The underemployment rate is 18.1%, and there are still a significant number of people working part time, who would like to have full-time work. Even with substantial national improvements, this continues to be a “one neighborhood at a time” recovery. Payroll jobs were up i...

Klout - Measures your online influence using data from your social networks I think like most people I am still trying to figure out Klout.  As you climb the ladder of Klout by interacting with people on Klout and other social media sites your Klout "score" will increase pretty steadily as long as you do this on a daily basis.  But watch out!  If you go away on vacation or take a weekend off you will see a dip in your score almost immediately.  (At least I have)  When you start using Klout and develop a number you will be able to give and receive Klout, that is another of the ways to get to know Klout members and enhance your score.  Once you get above a certain level (usually around 35 or so) you are eligible for "Perks" or FREE stuff.  I got my first FREE Perk in the mail this week.  ...
