HOT TIPS

I. Creating a guaranteed Long Island Leisure Community exclusive condo listing can be as easy as 1-2-3!

 

  1. Act like the experts: Stand back and really look at your rooms. Remove anything from the room that may be viewed as clutter.
  2. Remove anything personal; you want to make sure the new prospective owner can really see themselves in your condo.
  3. Clean regularly, and clean those windows! Dingy windows and screens tend to make your place look dirty, and picture glass should be cleaned as well.

 

If you know someone who has a Star Property at one of our Premier Leisure Communities, located in Ridge, NY, let us know!


II. Get pre-approved for a mortgage before you make an offer. 


When you are trying to buy a home or condo, your offer to purchase should contain as few conditions as possible. An offer that is conditional on obtaining financing is often a deal killer. The seller may accept a competing offer for less money rather than take the risk that you won’t be able to raise mortgage money. A pre-approval letter from your lender tells the seller you are ready and able to commit.
