Probably a good law. They should make dual agency illegal while they're at it, as it rarely helps the seller. https://nypost.com/2026/06/05/real-estate/ny-may-join-washington-connecticut-and-ban-private-home-listings/?sr_share=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=nypost&utm_source=facebook&sr_share=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=nypost&utm_source=facebook&fbclid=IwY2xjawSRMIpleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETFLblV3SHl4SmVPaFZPeE9Bc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHqOltHmXJChai79dU9hjOxWuIIDe2pCJQmbS4hgwPV8mgszIEw8L6nzfjcxB_aem_iMDjwK60-QwIuC2vJCcdkg

I wonder how many years of tax abatement they'll receive for the apartment building addition? And what the PILOT payment was and what it was used for?

And as my 1000+ satisfied clients will tell you, I'm a resource for life should anything come up in the future.

I wonder how they're gonna decide who gets these, behind closed doors. While I have huge respect for veterans, I do not know how they can get preference in this situation.
