Yes, Really!  Consumer confidence is back and this confidence extends to the commercial market.  Like the residential segment, there is a backlog of buyers who held off making their move over the last two years.  This handsome office building had been previously listed with another firm.  I listed it last month and pushed the marketing like we would for a residential property.  The buyers came running and we had two prospective buyers in 17 days and a signed contract in 23. If you've been holding back - as a buyer or seller - the time is right to get back into the market.  My cross-marketing program will get the job done.  Call me directly at 732-768-1068 and let's get your property sold.   04/28/2010

Holmdel Homes For Sale Don't Smash It! Over the last few years, we Realtors, homeowners, virtually everyone has noticed in ever increasing amounts, the dreaded Pentatomidae Pente. Ok, you give up? How about the   Banksia shield bug?,...Nope, you still don't get it,....ah, the stink bug! In our locale, we will find them most common, offered in two flavors or shapes. If you have not seen them yet, you will, as they are most prevalent during the Spring and Summer months. These creatures do not die, you'll see them moving a little slower come Fall, with the cooler temps. They will bed down for the Winter, chances are, in your home, only to return the following Spring. So, who are these monsters? Simply put, they are insects, capable of producing large populations. They primarily feed on pla... 03/24/2010

Perhaps I'm more observant with the advent of a new year. (If you read to the end you'll discover the true hypocrite here.)  I was shopping in Delicious Orchards in Colts Neck, New Jersey the other day. I was in the citrus section, seemingly alone.  I reached out for the California seedless oranges when I heard a voice."No, I don't want those."Huh?  I thought Liz was communicating with me telepathically.  Like the way Obe Wan reaches out to Luke in Star Wars even though they're light years away from each other, even though Obe Wan is dead. Awesome trick that!  No, not the oranges, Andy, use the force to find the tangerines.  May the mangos be with you. Then the voice spoke again, only louder."Yes, I'm sure.  I've changed my mind about the blue comforter set.  Just return them, Jimmy.  G... 02/04/2008

I'm back to update loyal Monmouth County real estate blog readers about Holmdel.  Cols Neck borders Holmdel. Here's my monthly Holmdel real estate market report, a few days shy of the end of the month. Holmdel Townhip, New Jersey that is. In Holmdel there were only five single family home MLS listings updated from "Active" to "Under Contract." The definition of Under Contract (also referred to as U/C) is that both buyer and seller have agreed on all major terms (contract price, financing, contingencies and closing date) and now they're working towards the closing table. What's to be done to ensure the Under Contract sale is officially closed?Schedule the home inspections, which may include submerged oil tanks, mold, radon, UREA, well, septic and water. Arrange and lock down financing fo... 01/29/2008

I thought today that I'd talk more in general terms about wht life was like in NJ during the early years.   I wish that my scanner was working so that I could have pictures accompany this blog.  For those of you that are familar with the big ampitheater on the Garden State Parkway, it's original name was Holmdel Park.  After they built the center they named it the Garden State Arts Center and now it has a different name.  Well, before there was and arts center there was just plain old Holmdel Park and it was in the sticks.  The only other thing in Holmdel was Bell Labs of Telstar fame.  It was extremely rural dotted with corn farms and horse farms.  This is where we went to sleigh ride and boy was it grand.  It was a whole ay outing.  There was a great hill there named Telegraph Hill an... 01/19/2008

Do you remember the movie Midnight Express, the story of a young American caught smuggling heroin out of Turkey? Thrown into a centuries-old prison (more like an asylum), young Bill Hayes struggles for his freedom and his sanity. Down in the bowels of the prison, Bill is invited to participate in the strange ritual of walking around in a circle."Brother, come walk the wheel with us."The inmates attempt to hold onto their sanity by engaging in pointless, repetitive tasks. (Hmmm, sounds familiar?)In revolt, Bill starts walking in the opposite direction and wreaks havoc among the other inmates.Bad analogy, maybe. But in regards to selling real estate in a trying environment, you may not want to walk the wheel with your office mates or competing agents. The technical defintion of insanity i... 06/27/2007
