  Dear Phone,  Why are you mad at me? What did I do wrong? Did I not give you enough attention? You know you never leave my side … I constantly hold you in my hand (sometimes even when I am driving). You’re the first thing I look for in the morning and you go everywhere with me, on appointments, out to dinner, to concerts, everywhere. Even then, you are a part of whatever I am doing. Remember that beautiful fireworks display we shared? I held you up above the crowd so you could see and capture the moment, so we could relive it and show our friends. Oh yeah, remember that listing appointment we were on? When you showed the homeowner those great slides about the real estate market, and how you helped them understand their situation. Without you, I am sure they would have made a bad decis...

Tomorrow the world tells us what they think of our position in the Long Island real estate market.  This lovely home on a quiet residential street in Massapequa sits in quiet anticipation of opening night day as local real estate agents assess our product, our presentation and our pricing. We're well dressed, trimmed and ready to meet the world.  I suspect, even with an abundant inventory, that this lovely entry into the Massapequa real estate market will garner significant interest.  Now all we have to do is find the perfect buyer for this 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath home, with oversized den, beautiful cherry/granite/stainless gourmet eat-in-kitchen. The first step in a multi-tiered marketing plan, we're anxious to start the dance.
