About Me
I am an Associate Broker with Houlihan Lawrence and have had my license since 1991. I recently moved my license to the Houlihan Lawrence office in Rye due to an expansion of my territory which includes White Plains, Harrison, Rye, Rye Brook and Purchase New York.

I pride myself on the personal service I give to all my clients' real estate needs. I considerate it a privilege to assist in finding that perfect home or selling one's current home. I'm one of those fortunate people who has a career and business that I love. As part of my responsibilities I educate both my sellers and buyers to the latest marketing trends and I keep them updated with changes and how those changes affect the selling or purchase of properties. I work to get my clients the results they expect and use my negotiating skills to see that those results are realized.

I make sure I am working with the latest technology and I continue to take courses to keep current.

Prior to becoming a Real Estate Broker I was a Human Resource Manager with The Americas Far East Division of Richardson Vicks, Inc. There, as part of my responsibilities, I transferred and relocated our top executives around the world. I understand the trauma that can accompany picking up one's roots and having to reestablish oneself. I walk my clients step by step through the process of buying or selling property and hope to make the process as least stressful as possible.

Chad, Home Seller in Connecticut

What is the average number of showings before an offer is made?

Deborah Altieri answered:
I wouldn't say that there is an average. It depends on market conditions in your area. If buyers are buying homes in your area and you are seeing similar properties are getting offers and going to contract then I would say an adjustment to price may be necessary.

In a stable market if I have 20 showings on a listing of mine and there are no offers or very low offers it usually tells me that I need to do some statistical work, carefully check the feedback from the agents who showed the property, analyze if something about the house itself needs to be corrected or last resort, see if a price reduction is in order. - Tue May 13 2008, 16:41
Tonya, Home Buyer in Connecticut

My house is competitively priced at $250K. I'm getting low offers of $230K. How can I get my asking price?

Deborah Altieri answered:
You say your house is competitively priced but what is that based on and who gave you the comps? Are you comparing your home solely to others that are on the market in your neighborhood now that also are not selling or are you comparing it to homes that have sold recently in your neighborhood? Both numbers are important to use. You also need to know what is going on in your market today in terms of number of days on the market and whether homeowners are even getting their asking price. Every market is different. Real Estate is a local issue and an experienced agents should be able to talk to you about trends and current conditions .

As I'm sure you know the market has changed and continues to do so. What may have sold for $250,000 just 4-6 months ago may not sell for the same price today if your market has slowed down or experienced a decrease in prices. The advise given below is fine if in fact $250,000 is the appropriate number to expect.

Your home is only worth what a buyer is willing to pay for it at any given time. It doesn't matter what you think you should get for your home or need to get for your home. If you have had more than one offer and you have not been able to entice one of those buyers to go higher in price knowning there is competition then I would guess that you are expecting too high a price and should revisit your expected sell price.

In my market it is now rare that the homeowner would get asking price. Buyers expect to be able to negotiate. - Tue May 13 2008, 16:30
