Today we remember not only the 2,977 lives lost on September 11, 2001, but also the more than 9,400 lives lost since due to Ground Zero-related illnesses, many of them our neighbors and friends right here in Rockland County.

We honor the first responders, service members, and everyday heroes whose courage that day continues to inspire, and we keep in our hearts those still battling 9/11-related illnesses and the families who have lost loved ones in the years since.

Never forget. 🇺🇸

This is one of my favorite parts of a closing. 💚

With the sale of 7 Windsor Brook Lane in Tappan, my clients Kathleen and Angela selected United Hospice, Inc. to receive a donation through the R2M Gives Back Program.

R2M Realty will donate 3% of our commission in honor of Anthony and Mary Ann Viglietta.

Every home has a story, and every closing gives us an opportunity to make a difference. I am honored to get to sell this special home full of memories while supporting an organization that provides such meaningful care to local families.

Congratulations, Kathleen and Angela. Thank you for choosing me, R2M and United Hospice. 💚

🏢 Buying or Selling a Condo? There’s some IMPORTANT changes you need to know about!

Condo financing has gotten more complicated, and it’s becoming increasingly important to look at the financial health of the entire condominium association, not just the individual unit.

As a Realtor, this is something I want my condo buyers and sellers to be aware of before we’re already in the middle of a transaction.

Before listing or making an offer on a condo, here are four things worth asking about:

1. Litigation
Is the condo association involved in any current or pending lawsuits?

2. Reserves
Does the association have adequate reserves set aside for future repairs and improvements?

3. Insurance
Does the master insurance policy meet current lending requirements?

4. Special Assessments & Major Repairs
Are there current or upcoming assessments, significant repairs, deferred maintenance or major projects planned?

Whenever possible, I recommend gathering the condo documents early, including the current budget, reserve information, insurance details, assessment information and any documentation regarding major repairs or litigation.

Why does this matter?

A condo can be beautifully updated, priced correctly and otherwise a great property, but buyers may still run into financing issues if the condo development itself doesn’t meet lender guidelines.

For sellers, discovering that after accepting an offer can mean delays, a smaller pool of qualified buyers or even a transaction falling apart.

For buyers, it’s another reason why doing the right due diligence before getting too far into the process is so important.

I’m working with local lending professionals to better understand which condo developments may have financing concerns so we can identify potential issues as early as possible.

If you’re thinking about buying or selling a condo in Rockland County, feel free to reach out. I’m happy to help you understand what questions to ask which lenders can help!

This property won't be listed until January
when buyers won't get to see just how fabulous the pool and yard is. That's why I had professional photos taken now! It's never too soon to meet with a Realtor and create a listing strategy! Just think how this house will look to buyers when there is snow on the ground 🙌😍🏡 Getting Ready to Move? Give me a call and let’s make a plan!
