Dr. Kessler, you are one brave soul putting your contact info out there. I hope the real estate agents aren't pestering you too much. I see you are in good hands as my very capable colleague, Randi Rapp, has already chimed in here. Best of luck with your search. - Tue Jul 31 2007, 03:43

Sofia, that's where Lucy and Ricky lived, no? You brought back memories. I left NYC 6 years ago but you may want to contact Mitchell Hall. He's a Manhattan realtor who may be able to provide you with guidance. His profile is listed here at Trulia. - Tue Jul 31 2007, 03:29

Russell, I'm not in Orlando but Miami. Is your pricing competitive? I like to keep tabs on what's happening in the industry, even if not nearby =) - Tue Jul 31 2007, 03:24

Tracey, I agree with the rest of the professionals here who opt for the 800# hotline instead. It is much more beneficial as it provides the info and a way to track who is getting it. I wrote about this very topic on my blog just yesterday coincidentally. Here is a link, if you'd care to take a look. http://www.theblogthatatemiami.com/2007/07/30/no-info-tube-f… Having said that however, if your agent is NOT providing the hotline, then the least they could do is to provide you with the flyers you want. They're not expensive so that should not be a problem. But in my opinion they really do not generate very many calls. - Tue Jul 31 2007, 03:20

You may also want to check out Jackson Heights, Queens. If you do, stay north of 37th Avenue and between 74th Street and 88th Street to get the best of Jackson Heights. I lived there for over 30 years and just a few months ago sold a condo there. The neighborhood has a beautification group that works hard to keep the reputation which earned parts of Jackson Heights historical district status about 15-20 years ago. The garden communities Jackson Heights is known for and received critical acclaim for were planned in the early 1900's. Most of them are still there today. You can get more information about Jackson Heights at http://www.jhbg.org/ A big plus to JH is how close it is to transportation, and thus, Manhattan. Take a walk down 80th street from 37th to 35th Avenue and see what makes the JH community so beautiful. Discover it for yourself. I'm sure you'll be glad you did. - Tue Jul 31 2007, 03:03
