To Whom It May Concern:
When I set out to find my first new home I quickly found what an overwhelming, stressful and frustrating hunt this could be. I didn’t know what questions to ask, what details to look for or where to find what I wanted in a home. After attending well over 30 open houses I was referred to a local real estate agent, Charles Cinquemani.
Charlie is a personable, knowledgeable, and experienced professional. He immediately put me at ease. He listened intently to what I was looking for in a first home. He promptly returned phone calls and emails and was flexible in scheduling appointments. Most importantly, Charlie went above and beyond to guide me through the process. He told me what questions to ask, he showed me what details to look for and brought me to where I could find what I wanted in a home.
Charlie was an active participant in the entire process. I was referred to Charlie in April of 2008 and the entire process was complete in approximately 10 weeks. I have now been living in my co-op for approximately one month and I couldn’t be happier. I highly recommend Charlie to family and friends. I would especially recommend Charlie to any young professionals who need some extra “hand holding” through the process.
Sincerely,
Elizabeth Cleary"

""It was purely a stroke of good luck that made us run into you during our search for a new home. Before we met you, we had already spoken to quite a few people. None of them made us feel as comfortable or unpressured as you did. We greatly appreciated your style, your knowledge of Westchester county, and your expertise in the real estate market. We would definitely use your services again and recommend you to anyone we know that is looking for a property. Thank you so much for the gift card, for helping us find our home, and for everything else you did. Please stay in touch."
Best regards,
Leah and Garrett Barker"

Dear Ed, this is really RealEstateCharlie. My observation of Larchmont market, as well as Mike Luchen's was posted in August. The statistics did not lie at the time. (Math is the only truth). Yes there were financial issues going on but it was before the sub -prime mess and its aftermath exploded on the scene. If I made a post now, it would likely be different. Go easy on us. I was only providing a true snapshot of the market from my MLS data, which is more accurate than you get with Zestimates and other providers. Cheers and good luck Ed. I hope you do enter the market in the summer.
Dear Stephen, looking at your question strictly analytical, the market is killer in Larchmont. Right now, in 10538 Zip, single family homes, there are 61 Active. In last 6 months, 94 have SOLD. That's about 15.6 homes per month selling. The absorption rate shows an average of 3.9 months from market to close. That's intense. Great for a seller... Tough on an unprepared buyer. ..

Dear Rick, usually a brand new development does not wholesale prices. First it would likely cause a situation with persons who already have purchased. If you look at the 2 latest sales in the studio and 1 bdrm model, the sold prices were at 99% plus of list price.
More importantly of interest at Riverton is they are selling a greener lifestyle choice. They have designed and built an eco-friendly and energy efficient complex. These units have utility carry costs that should be about 40% less then a comparable size elsewhere. In addition, they have utilizied reneweable products, special insulation as well as construction reclamation during their initial tear down of what was originally in that location. The complex allows walking to everyday daily chores, like train and shopping. They are targeting a widely growing market of buyers who understand the benefits of their design and are making a conscious decision with their lifestyle. Should you decide to take an attempt at a purchase, pick an agent who will definitely provide you a pricing scenario BUT also understands the eco-aspect of the place.
I am one of Westchester's first EcoBroker's and have the ability to guide you through. Visit http://www.EcoBroker.com to understand why I can make this statement. Thanks for the few minutes reading this post and good luck regardless of how you move forward.

Dear Moverandshaking, you have likely executed a Buyer's Agency Agreement. Realize now that if you make an offer on a property that is listed with that Brokerage firm, you are put into a Dual Agency circumstance which requires you to sign agreement. Essentially your "fiduciary care" is lost and turns in "advocacy"

Dear Natasha, here's a US Dept of Ed site http://nces.ed.gov/globallocator/ ALSO, on my website, under Community Profiles, you can get a comprehensive School Report as well. BUT, ultimately, you must setup a visit with the principal to see and feel first hand how any school is..Feel free to contact me under no obligations. Enjoy!
Real Estate Charlie answered:
Dear Kathy, 45 Main St is known as the Riverton Lofts. Brand New Eco-Friendly Condos. I am an EcoBroker certified agent so I followed this building. One of the best features is the geo-thermal heating they have supplied in all the units. They were using a friendlier blown in insulation, high efficient appliances, and high efficient windows. The flooring was to be a bamboo style. Not sure how that was completed. So, as you consider this purchase, you will not have any real comps to make a judgement. The Lofts should be considerably less to heat and cool everyday. If I have peaked your interest, please feel free to call me and I can discuss costs and savings with you. Check the URL for info on my EcoBroker expertise. Enjoy!
