"I am once again pleased with the long hard work you did in helping me close on my home in NY. I am glad I have chosen you as my broker. You are worth it!"
Andrew L. 
"Thank you so much for helping me to avoid the pending foreclosure and auction of my home. You are an expert in short sales and were professional in your dealings with me, the lending institution and the various attorneys involved in this transaction. Because of your abilities, the scheduled auction was adjourned, all paperwork was submitted to the lending institution in a timely manner and there was constant communication between all parties ultimately ensuring that my home sold. I know that the home received more money for having been marketed it through you than it would have otherwise and this enticed the lending institution to accept the short sale. Additionally, I had total confidence in your abilities and I was able to leave both my home and the transaction in your capable hands while I resettled my family in time for my daughter to begin her new school at the beginning of the semester. Again, my sincerest thanks for a job well done!"

Hi Elliott,
Your questions was cut off in the middle, however, the Port Washington School District is an excellent one! We have many fine school districts here in Nassau County and Port Washington, along with some others, are rated amongst the top in the country. Please visit my website at http://www.arlynnpalmer.com and click on the side button "School Info". Insert "Port Washington" in the space for the city and you will be able to view all the statistics regarding the shools in that district. Furthermore, you will be able to compare school districts and even schools within a particular district!

im looking to sell my home in plainview

Arlynn B. Palmer answered:
Hi Sal,
Having been a REALTOR for almost 11 years, I have sold many homes with painted paneling. When the job is done right, most buyers will not immediately notice the fact that the walls are really paneling. The best look I've seen is one where the walls were painted flat and then textured as a second coat with a complimentary color through the use of saran wrap, natural sponge or a textured roller that can be purchased at Home Depot.
Please give me a call at (516)410-3594 with any of your real estate questions - I work in the Plainview area and would enjoy speaking with you and helping you regarding any aspect involved in the upcoming sale of your home.

Hi Joseph,

As you state - most homeowners are Clients of their REALTOR . In such an instance, the REALTOR works for the homeowner and the REALTOR is under an obligation to sell the home to a ready, willing and able buyer for as much money as possible.

Have you thought about hiring a REALTOR to represent you? Commonly called a "Buyer's Agent" this REALTOR would have you as her/his client, would work for you and all fiduciary and confidentiality responsibilities would be to you. Thus your REALTOR would then be in a position to try to negotiate the best possible price on any given home for you - ie: the lowest price possible - irregardless of what the asking price is.

If you would like some additional information about Buyer's Agents, please contact me at (516)410-3594 or arlynn@arlynnpalmer.com. I am a Certified Buyer's Representative and work on the North Shore of Long Island.

Is it legal for a homeowner to demand 10 percent down?

Arlynn B. Palmer answered:
In the sale and purchase of a home, the terms and conditions are very often as important as the price that is being offered. Those terms and conditions include the amount of money that the prospective buyer is able and willing to put down at contract plus the additional amount of money that the buyer is able and willing to put down as cash at the closing, the time by which the buyer will close on the home, whether the buyer has another property that must be sold prior to the proposed purchase, etc.

Since the seller will be taking the home off the market between signing the contract and closing on the home, it is important to know that the buyer intends to apply for a mortgage in good faith and is confident that they can get that mortgage. Especially in this mortgage climate, many lending institutions are refusing to offer more than 80% financing for a residential property.

Thus, it is not only legal, but also prudent, for the homeowner to ask for a minimum of 20% cash in the transaction, with 10% down at contract and a minimum of an additional 10% down at closing. - Mon May 5 2008, 14:55
