NYC Property Sellers Keeping NY Real Estate Market Stable
(post by BT) I think that our real estate market has remained relatively stable due to the fact that our local NYC sellers are the most ignorant and stubborn sellers in the world!

(post by Dee) One part of the Lehman Brothers collapse, bankruptcy and sale that has been controversial is a stat published on the average income of Lehman Brothers’ employee salary: $332,000. How does a company going under pay so much to people that basically let it fail? Beats me!
So I decided to poke around [...]
Vulture Real Estate Brokers That Steal Your Property?
(post by BT) There is a real estate broker in my area that has been in the business for over 35 years.

Overpriced Property = Antidotum to Selling Real Estate

His previous agent listed it at a whopping $925K!!! Two weeks later reduced it to $875. Naturally, the listing expired, never sold. That’s why I called him… I asked [...]
