Burns Town Park in Massapequa at 7:30 pm.  Residents are invited to nominate extraordinary individuals who have made a difference in our veteran communities.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Support Wasserman-Heath

To the Editor:

I am writing to you to support Dr. Pam Wasserman-Heath for re-election to the Jericho Board of Education.   I have known Pam since high school and can attest to the type of individual she is. Pam is very community minded and is a person of extremely high character. She is always there to support whoever needs her and has taught me so much about leadership over the years.

As someone who is very involved in the school, I can honestly say that Pam is always present at school events and community activities. Pam is genuine in her support and always makes every-

one feel welcome.   Her experience, integrity and professional approach is both commendable and exemplary.

Pam has done a great job on the Board of Education and her being a member is an asset to our school and community.

This is why I support her re-election to the Jericho Board of Education.

Maria Bombace

Best district in nation

To the Editor:

We are writing to publicly add our unequivocal support for the reelection of Pam Wasserman-Heath to the Board

of Education (BOE) for the Jericho school district.

Our family moved to Jericho from another community in Nassau County six years ago specifically because of the Jericho school district’s reputation for providing a comprehensive, rigorous education and learning opportunities that surpassed any other district. The disparity between the world-class education our children receive in this community relative to what we experienced prior to moving to Jericho is stark. Given our negative experiences in another school district, we pay very close attention to the composition of the Jericho BOE as it is imperative that we preserve and enhance what is so unique about this school district.

Pam was among the first people who warmly welcomed us when we moved to Jericho, and we were immediately struck by her deep commitment to the community, including her leadership in the Jackson Elementary School PTA as well as at our local synagogue. Despite Pam’s deep devotion to raising her two children and her work as a respected psychologist, Pam has always found time to wholeheartedly serve this community, not just for the benefit of her son and daughter, but for everyone’s children. Having grown up and spent most of her adult life in Jericho, Pam is a friendly face known and respected by many throughout town.

Since joining the BOE two years ago, Pam has made several contributions that help demonstrate why the Jericho school district remains rated #1 in the nation. Pam has led the effort to ensure that Jericho not only continues to offer the most challenging academic programs in the country, but also leads the way in reducing student stress and anxiety. From spearheading focus groups with high school students to identify the root causes of stress in our schools to pushing for a mandatory lunch period for our 9th graders, Pam is a pragmatic, smart and compassionate change agent for our schools. During Pam’s tenure

on the BOE, she lent her support to many other critical initiatives such as introducing school holidays for Diwali and Eid, improving the safety/security of our schools following the tragic events at Parkland, and shepherding in a wealth of new programming, including Jericho Academy.

We are truly fortunate to have Pam Wasserman-Heath on our BOE and we ask for your continued support of Pam in the upcoming election. We know that our school district will benefit significantly from her leadership, experience, and commitment to every student. Please join us in voting for Pam at the election on Tuesday, May 21st and making sure that she has the opportunity to continue the incredible work she has started.

David and Ellen Zimmerman

Highly endorse Pam

To the Editor:

We have had the honor of working with Pamela Heath on the Board of Trustees of North Shore Synagogue. Pam exudes caring, warmth and sensitivity. Pam is passionate about the synagogue and her community. She is always willing to lend a hand, to help another individual, and to give of herself. We highly endorse Pam Heath for the position of trustee on the Jericho School board.

Village PTA honors staff at special picnic luncheon

PHOTOS AND STORY BY RENA DAMON

Village Elementary School PTA hosted its annual Staff Recognition Luncheon to express their gratitude and appreciation to the school’s hardworking staff.  Spring arrival was the inspiration for this year's picnic-themed event. The lunchroom was transformed into a festive picnic setting, complete with blue and white gingham tablecloths, yellow sunflowers and the requisite

picnic baskets.  Everyone was treated to a spread of hot and cold hero sandwiches, salads, fresh fruit and an array of scrumptious desserts. The PTA was honored to have School Superintendent Dr. Rogers and colleagues as well as Syosset School Board President Tracy Frankel and many other board members attend.

A special award was also presented at the luncheon to Mrs. Jody Heitner, who

drop, I am relieved that Dr.  Pamela Wasserman-Heath is willing to continue her service on the Jericho School Board.  Throughout her tenure on the Board, Pam’s service has been characterized by her attention to doing the right thing.  Whether it’s reading and researching about the issues before the Board or taking the time to hear district members’ concerns before deciding her approach to an issue, Pam is willing to put the time in to understand the issues before her and act accordingly.  Her focus is on best serving the district, its members, and the students that she represents.  I am proud to have known her for 15 years, and to say with confidence that this reflects the integrity and commitment that she brings to every role she takes on - personally, professionally, and in service to her community.

In a time when it seems that everyone has a different opinion about what should be done, it is important that those with the power to implement change are willing to consider the many voices and the many requirements of our community.  I have seen the care and attention that Pam has given to making sure that our entire community is well represented.   There are unprecedented issues facing the Jericho school district now, and it is important to have members on the Board who understand how their decisions affect us as a group and as individuals.  Dr. Pamela Wasserman-Heath has served this community with integrity and dedication, and I wholeheartedly endorse her as a candidate to retain her seat on the Jericho School Board.

Setting Out on 8-Day Self-Guided BikeTour from Venice Bound for Croatia

BY KAREN RUBIN & ERIC LEIBERMAN TRAVEL FEATURES SYNDICATE

We hadn’t biked far from the Hotel Alexander on the mainland of Venice in Mestre on the first morning of a week-long self-guided bike tour that would take us some 300 miles following the seacoast to Porec, Croatia, before I imagined: had I done this by myself as I had originally planned, I would have been found weeks later wandering in a wilderness. I was so grateful that my son could come along – his tech prowess (and insistence on

getting an app of our route) made all the difference, not to mention his companionship.

Each morning, he would unfurl the day’s Stage map and have his smart phone tucked into the plastic case on the handlebars. Once underway (after a delightful breakfast in the pre-arranged inns), I would be trying in vain to follow the cue sheets and do mathematical gymnastics with the kilometers, and was so consumed with these and watching for Eric ahead, and being enrapt by the scenery and taking photos, that I

Continued from page D1

would miss the mark the tour operator left on sign posts for each turn.

“It’s simple,” Eric says. If you don’t see a mark, you go straight.” But what if you have missed the mark that told you to turn? You could find yourself kilometers ahead before you even have a clue you missed the turn and have no idea where to go back. At one point, Eric installs the hang-out app on my phone so he can find me on his map and I can see where he is, that comes in really handy when I miss a turn altogether in the middle of Trieste. Typically, though, even though he rides faster and is ahead, he waits for me at key turns.

But all of it becomes part of the adventure – the excitement of doing, not just seeing, of becoming immersed in a place or not knowing what will beyond the next turn. And having no window between you and what is around you. Biking lets you travel at a pace to really see things, and yet cover a reasonable distance, and most importantly, gives you the ability and freedom to simply stop and look around.

The day before we set out from Venice for the first stage ride, Anthony, the guide from FunActive, the local tour operator that Biketours.com selected to coordinate the tour, had come to the hotel in the afternoon to deliver and fit our rental bikes, the vouchers and maps and sit with us for an orientation reviewing each day’s trip. He arrived specially, as we requested, shortly after Eric arrived by plane, and we rushed him through so we could have the afternoon and evening in Venice. Anthony

sat patiently with us in the hotel’s lounge trying to review the route for each of the six days of riding (he would have to repeat the entire thing for the four other self-guided cyclists later that afternoon). He reviewed the particularities of the route – the recommended “options” for sightseeing and the route “variants”. He tried to give us a sense of the road, and the highlights. I took notes but we rushed him and I think we missed a few things.

Each day has alternatives of a shorter, easier ride (usually with some ferry or train) and the longer one. But one day stands out in Eric’s mind in particular when he is determined to take “the hinterland” route.

Stage 1: Venice mainland/Mestre – Jesolo/Caorle (22 or 50 miles/35 or 80 km)

I thought the thunder storm that hit during the night would mean fair weather for our first day’s ride, Venice to Jesolo, a distance of 51 km (30 miles, though there is an option to take a shorter ride, 22 miles). No luck. It is raining when we leave and surprisingly cold - about 20 degrees cooler from the day before. We set out anyway because the rain is part of our adventure, after all.

I had thought we would mainly be riding on roads with traffic but am surprised and relieved that most of our ride for the next few days are along bikeways – often paved but sometimes gravel or pebbles, but nonetheless a bikeway – or else some country roads with very little traffic. And for the next few days, our ride is flat, taking us through farm-

land and along the coast.

This first day of cycling is designed by FunActive to be easy (and would be but for the rain and head wind). Our destination is Jesolo, a seaside beach town. Many of the days offer options to cut off some of the biking (or the climbing or the traffic) by taking a ferry from the lagoon in Venice to Punta Sabbioni, which would have cut the day’s ride to 22 miles). We opt to take the “hinterland” route, cycling along the river Sile, 30 miles to Jesolo, passing the ruins of Torre Caligo, a tower from the Middle Ages which is situated near the canal “Caligo.”

FunActive has given us excellent background material – a guidebook in fact (I wish I had paid more attention to it before we set out) that includes background on the landscape, history and culture of the regions we travel through, plus recommendations for attractions and restaurants in each place, along with local maps. The route map, broken up into each day’s Stage, is well marked with places to stop for food, photos, attractions.

We ride through countryside – farms and villages – we can even see the snowcapped mountain peaks of the Dolomites in the distance.

This first day is really an orientation to learn “the rules of the road” – for me, figuring out how to correlate the cue sheets and look for the trail markings. At first, I am very disoriented, but Eric manages to get us to our destination.

Jesolo is utterly charming seaside beach resort that attracts local families and despite its proximity to Venice,

doesn’t seem to have attracted any foreign tourists at all (another delight of a bike tour, that brings you into local places well off the beaten tourist track).

I am amazed how fine the sand is. The weather has cleared but it is rather cold and there is a red flag on the lifeguard stand, so no one is in the water this late in the afternoon. We enjoy walking along the beach, sticking our feet in the water, and taking in all the color.

The town has a ferris wheel, amusement park, water park, go karts, arcade, lovely shops and restaurants, is loaded with surreys and bikes, and in the evening, closes the street to cars altogether. What we notice is there are few (if any) bars. This is really a family place. We love our hotel, the Marco Polo which is right on the main street, a block off the beach. The scenes evoke flashbacks to my own childhood, when our family would take trips in February to Atlantic City, normally a beach resort, and enjoy the boardwalk.

There are a plethora of restaurants – many are full and one in particular, Atmosphera, has people (including many families), lining up in the street. Lucky for us, they have a table for two. This place is a revelation – and we can soon see why it is probably the most popular restaurant in Jesolo –it has a sensational menu (pages and pages of pizza offerings, meat and fish

GOING PLACES, NEAR & FAR....

selections), wonderfully prepared with fresh, flavorful ingredients in open kitchens, large portions beautifully presented and modest prices.

Our hotel, the Marco Polo, is most charming, and right on the main street which at night is closed to cars.

Stage 2: Jesolo/Caorle to Concordia Sagittaria/Portogruaro (19 or 31 miles).

Today’s ride, 31 miles from Jesolo to Concordia Sagittaria/Portogruaro, is easy, cycling along the coast and it’s sunny! which dramatically adds to my sunny mood and puts metal to my pedal. We ride through scenic farmland and countryside. We take a slight detour into Caorle, which the FunActive guide, Anthony, has heartily recommended we do, and this proves one of the pure gems of the tour.

As we enter the town, the colorful buildings around a plaza makes me think of Sausalito over the Golden Gate Bridge from San Francisco, or, then again, of Seaside, Florida, that idyllic village in the “Truman Show,” and as soon as we make the turn into the Old District, with the warm sun streaming down, I think what a fantastic movie set this would make. It seems that all the property owners by choice or decree paint their buildings before each season, according to a certain gorgeous palette of colors.

The colors are stirring, surreal almost, especially because of the narrow alleys and the angles. A riot of color. Think Nanny McPhee. I can’t get enough of it- the scenes make my heart race, especially the narrow, angled alleys. As we walk, each new vista is like a new painting.

We discover Carole in layers – first wandering through the streets. Eric has zoned in on a restaurant for lunch. We eat outside but this clever place, inside, actually has a model train set that delivers your food to the table.

Caorle has been settled for about 2000 years. Wandering around, we come upon the Cathedral San Stefano Protomartire Caorle, built in 1038.

Then we walk back and hone in on the Madonna dell’Angelo Church, perched on a cliff overlooking the water and the beach at the end of the stone promenade, wrapping around on two sides. Across the way, there are a gazillion beach umbrellas set up, but where we are, there are like random, ad hoc DIY blankets and umbrellas. Eric swims in the Adriatic while I take photos.

We are so delighted with Caorle, we buy refrigerator magnets with the scene of the colorful buildings.

We leave this enchanting town and find ourselves in absolutely gorgeous countryside – with what I presume are

WRITER’S CORNER

the Dolomite Mountains as a backdrop. At one point, we ride along a berm that elevates us over the farmland on either side.

Anthony had strongly recommended that once we arrive at Concordia Sagittaria where our inn is, we ride the few extra kilometers into Portogruaro, and when I see the photo of the Town Hall on our hotel’s card, we race out to take advantage of the warm, late afternoon light.

It is a delightful ride on a bike path along a river into Portogruaro, aglow in golden light. The town, founded in the 12th century as a port on the river Lemene, is surprisingly big and bustling, and we dash to try to capture that scene from the photo before the sun sets. We find our way to the Old City and the Plaza della Republica with its grand Gothic Town Hall, A concert is going on and we are drawn in but pull away in order not to miss the fading sunlight.

The setting is absolutely magnificent – this 12th century Town Hall with ancient watermills (one still spinning), is very Venetian in its look. I realize that the shot I want is across the river, and cross the bridge beside working water wheels to a small park adjacent to a monastery. I get there just in time before the light fades.

Text Slang for Mother’s Day

BY MARJORIE GOTTLIEB WOLFE

It’s Mother’s Day! A study in The Journal of Pediatrics found that a mother’s recorded voice will wake a child and get him out of the bedroom much faster than a standard smoke alarm. The tone alarm woke the children in about half the time; it took them an average of nearly 5 minutes to get out of the room. With the mother’s voice, almost 90 percent of the children awoke and are out of the room in an average of 30 seconds.

So, what’s next? Off to a playdate? School? Baseball practice? Or, texting.

Gloom, But No Doom, for Social Security

BY TOM MARGENAU

In the spring each year, flowers and trees bloom. And so do gloom and doom stories about the future of Social Security. And that’s because in April of each year, the Social Security board of trustees is required to issue a report on the status of the Social Security trust funds. (They also issue a status report on Medicare. But this is a column about Social Security, so that is the only report I will cover today.) And although there is some gloom associated with the trustee’s report, there is no reason for doom.

This year, the report says Social Security will go belly up in 2035. Well, that’s what the headlines say. An in-depth reading of the trustees’ findings show that if no changes are made to Social Security by 2035, the trust funds will be depleted, and the incoming payroll taxes will only be enough to cover about 75 percent of promised benefits. So Social Security would not be bankrupt in 2035, but the system would certainly be in some serious doo-doo! (That’s the gloomy part of the story.)

So why am I not concerned? Because we’ve been down this road before. If you are a typical baby boomer, you were into “sex, drugs and rock ‘n roll” in the ‘60s and ‘70s. But in those same years, I was a nerd, recently hired by the Social Security Administration. And I very quickly became interested in the history of Social Security legislation. I learned then what I still know today: Social Security has been reformed many times in its long history. And more often than not, major reforms don’t happen until politicians’ backs are up against the wall.

Why does Congress wait so long to do anything? Because though Social Security reform choices are rather obvious, they are politically difficult to implement. To be more precise, Social Security reform almost always means two things are going to happen: Somebody’s tax is going to go up, and somebody’s benefit is going to get cut. Congress just doesn’t like to do either. Still, they inevitably act responsibly and do the right thing.

For example, back in the late 1970s, Social Security was in much more dire straits than it is in today. At that time, the trustee’s report was predicting that the system was just five years away from meltdown. One of the first major things Ronald Reagan did after he was elected president was to appoint a bipartisan National Commission on Social Security Reform. The commission had 15 members: eight Republicans and seven Democrats. Some were members of Congress. Some were private citizens. A couple of the more recognizable politicians on the commission were Senators Bob Dole and Daniel Patrick Moynihan. The private citizens included bankers, insurance company executives and management consultants. Alan Greenspan, the noted economist and chairman of the Federal Reserve, served as the commission’s chairman.

The commission members met nine times, on approximately a monthly basis. In January 1983, they issued their report with a number of recommendations for reform. The report and their reform proposals filled a 150-page book, which I have on my desk. Though I can’t summarize all of it in this short column, I can share some of the major legislative changes that grew out of the report. Surprise, surprise: Those changes resulted in some people’s taxes going up, and some people’s benefits being cut.

The tax increase was a slight and graduated rise in the Social Security payroll tax. It went up from 5.7 percent, where it was in 1984, to 6.2 percent by 1989. (As always, those rates are doubled for self-employed people.) And that’s where we still are today.

The major benefit reduction involved making people wait longer to collect full retirement benefits. The full retirement age was increased in gradual steps -- from 65 to 67. In fact, we still haven’t reached the full extent of that legislative change. The FRA won’t hit 67 until people born in 1960 and later start retiring.

There were some relatively minor benefit cuts, too. As just one example, survivor benefits to college students were eliminated.

Those changes, implemented just a few years before the system was scheduled to go into the red, have kept Social Security in the black for almost four decades. Now we are approaching another crunch point. And some president will appoint another bipartisan commission, and they will come up with another set of reform proposals that will keep Social Security chugging along for another 50 years or so.

What will those reforms be? Personally, I think the Social Security tax rate ought to be bumped up a few percentage points. Again, it’s been locked in at 6.2 percent since 1989. Gradually increasing it to 6.5 percent over a number of years could be justified. However, the commission may take the slightly easier and more popular approach of suggesting an increase in the wage base: the amount of earnings subject to the payroll tax. That base is currently $132,900. I know from the emails I get from readers that many people think the base should simply be eliminated. In the current conservative political climate, that will never happen. But we might see the base raised to something like $250,000, with graduated increases after that.

On the other side of the ledger (the cut benefits side), the commission could recommend bumping up the retirement age another year or two over the next several decades. In other words, my current preteen and teen grandkids might have to wait until age 68 or 69 before they could collect full Social Security benefits.

The commission also might suggest increasing the number of years used to figure a Social Security retirement benefit. Currently, benefits are computed us-

ing a 35-year base of earnings. That same formula has been used for about 40 years. They could bump up those base years to 38. This would have the effect of lowering future benefits because the more years used to figure a retirement rate, the lower the benefit would be. If that doesn’t make sense to you, think of it this way. Basing a person’s Social Security retirement benefits on his or her highest 3 years of earnings would result in a much higher monthly benefit than using 35 years. So

using 38 or more years would slightly lower future benefits.

These are just a few examples of changes that could come out of the next commission on Social Security reform -whenever a president and Congress get gutsy enough to form one. Let’s just hope it’s sooner rather than later.

Setting Out on 8-Day Self-Guided BikeTour from Venice Bound for Croatia

C ontinued from page D3

We bike back to Concordia Sagittaria, a delightful village well off the tourist “beaten track,” which is why I love bike tours so much. The village sits in what was a Roman colony on the River Lemene.

By now we’re famished. It’s a Monday night and some restaurants are closed. But Eric finds a marvelous one (which turns out to be listed in the FunActiv guide): Pizzeria Al Solito Posto. All the tables have been reserved (notably, by locals), but we notice two people just finishing their meal at a table outside. There are something like four pages of pizza to choose from and I have the best pizza I’ve had in my life: cheese, olives, capers and anchovies with the freshest tomato and thinnest of crust done to perfection.

Our inn, The Julia, is right on the river and in the middle of the square, towered over by the 10th century Byzantine Cathedrale di Santo Stefano Protomartire, dedicated to the first Christian martyr. (Inside, our notes say, is a holy water stoup in Greek marble from the 1st century and 13th century paintings). Just across the square, we discover an archeological dig with sarcophagus,. The excavations of what was the first basilica have also uncovered ruins of a Roman street. Next to the church is a Roman-style bell tower from 1150. There is also a Bishop’s Palace (1450) and town hall from the year 1523.

This day has been the most magnificent. And the most interesting thing of all is we would never have seen or experienced any of it except for riding our bikes.

Setting out on an 8-day, 300-mile self-guided bike tour from Venice to Trieste to Istria in Croatia: Jesolo, Caorle, Concordia Sagittaria, Portogruaro.

There are four other riders following the same self-guided FunActive itinerary as we who have started on the same day, and we meet up with them periodically in the inns and even on the trail and delight in sharing stories and comparing notes of our travels.

Next: Discovering Ancient Christian Cite of Aquilea, Roman City of Grado

Why is there a lack of homes on the market?

BY PHILIP A. RAICES

Our inventory is still at historic lows (<4 months) and normal inventory is 6-7 months. The demand is still there, but the S.A.L.T. tax has truly cooled off the higher end market, especially in those states with high real estate taxes e.g. the blue states: New York, Connecticut, New Jersey and California.

We can thank our current President for this situation, causing many to leave the states they were brought up in to lower cost and taxed locations throughout the U.S. Although demand for homes less than one million dollars is still doing fairly well, that inventory is extremely tight. There is one specific reason why: seventy six million baby boomers, aged 55-75 years of age and the twenty million silent generation born between 1925-1942 and with aged 70-80 years of age and staying and living in place and not moving. Four out of ten baby boomers or forty percent own a vacation or second home and fifty seven percent have ownership of all the vacation homes as well as 58 percent of all rental properties as per the National Association of Realtors statistics. Because of this, a majority of baby boomers are staying place for this reason, they have choices six months here and six months in their second domicile in warmer weather.

As of 2019, the breakdown by age looks like this: (statistics from the National Association of Realtors)

Here are some additional brackets, hopefully to initially and further clarify the various groups:

Baby Boomers: Born 1946-1964 (54-72 years old) Generation X: Born 1965-1980 (38-53 years old) Millennials: Born 1981-1996 (22-37 years old) PostMillennials:Born 1997-Present (0-21 years old)

• Baby Boomers: Baby boomers were born between 1944 and 1964. They’re current between 55-75 years old (76 million in U.S.)

• Gen X: Gen X was born between 1964 -1979 and are currently between 40-54 years old (82 million people in U.S.)

• Gen Y: Gen Y, or Millennials, were born between 1980 and 1994. They are currently between 25-39 years old.

o Gen Y.1 = 25-29 years old (31 million people in U.S.)

o Gen Y.2 = 29-39 (42 million people in U.S.)

• Gen Z: Gen Z is the newest generation to be named and were born between 1995 and 2015. They are currently between 4-24 years old (nearly 74 million in U.S.)

The term “Millennial” has become the popular way to reference both segments of Gen Y (more on Y.1 and Y.2 below).

Realistically, the name Generation Z is a place-holder for the youngest people on the planet. It is likely to morph as they leave childhood and mature into their adolescent and adult identities.

Generation Y - Born Between 1980-1995

The largest U.S. age group since the baby boom will make an unbelievable impact on the housing market. Here’s what you need to know to tap into this powerful market segment. Life without Google, communication without text messaging and Real Estate without virtual tours are hard to imagine for the millions of people who fall into Generation Y. As children of the baby boomers, this group is predicted to make up the bulk of U.S. population within 20 years.

That’s why it’s essential for Realtors to understand what makes Gen Y tick. After all, it won’t be long before Gen Yers are a dominant segment of home buyers. If you want to have a future in the real estate business, you must think about the customer of tomorrow. To get a better feel for Gen Y, here are some quick facts:

Becoming a majority. Experts say Gen Y ranges in size from 72 million to 78 million people nationwide and 2 billion worldwide.

The Web is their playground. They track down their friends on MySpace and Facebook, they download their songs from iTunes, and they send e-mails from their phones while waiting in line at Starbucks. And you had

better pay attention to their e-mails, because they expect a fast response They buy young. On average, Gen Yers buy homes at age 26, three years earlier than most Generation Xers, according to a Real Estate study. Gen Y is not just some kid out of college. They are kids with parents who want to see them get off to the right start and are willing to put 10 percent down on a house and have the kid pay the mortgage every month.

They have hectic schedules. Their lives are a lot busier than their parents were at their age, they’re always moving. They do their research. Don’t try to pull one over on this age group. You’d better know what you’re talking about, because they will have done the research.

The Importance of Technology

It’s critical to embrace technology when working with young buyers. Â Nine out of ten Gen Yers have a home, lap-top computer or iPad. Almost all 97 percent have a cell phone or iphone that is more advanced than your laptop, and 68 percent send text messages from their phone. Fifty percent listed instant messaging as their preferred form of communication.

It’s important to have a well-designed and informative web site in order to appeal to this age group. It’s a given that young buyers will search for homes online, so make sure your site can be accessed through major search engines like Google, Yahoo, Bing even accessible through facebook.

If they don’t get what they want right away from the person who promised it, it’s just a phone call, e-mail, or text message away to recruit another Realtor to do the work.

Is Younger Better?

While Gen Yers want a Realtor who’s comfortable with technology, they also value the expertise of a veteran. They feel safer dealing with someone around their parents’ age. If you identify your experience and show that you’re tech savvy, that’s a nice combination for young buyers and sellers. Older agents

have the advantage already, as long as they don’t get out-communicated by not having the right tools like a Blackberry, or iPhone. Even the most experienced and tech-savvy Realtors will fail to win over Gen Yers if they don’t treat their clients like adults.

Ideas for Reaching Out to Gen Y

With Gen Y becoming a more powerful segment of the real estate market, there’s huge potential in catering your business directly to this demographic.

• Advertise listings on Craigslist... This online classifieds Web site is hugely popular with all buyers and sellers, but especially with the Web-savvy Gen Y set.

• Do not try to up-sell... find the home they want within their price range. They will love you.

• Know what they like... Younger buyers tend to want a home that’s close to work; near a park (to walk the dog); and within walking distance to shopping, the gym, and local bars and restaurants. Easy home maintenance is also high on their list.

So the future challenges will be available inventory, keeping up with the possible greatest demand to ever be realized in the U.S. as well as a more moderate price point and satisfying the specific changing “needs, wants and tastes of each group compared with the groups before them.

INVITED ESTATE SALES BY TRACY

JORDAN

Looking to sell items from your home?

Consider doing an Online Auction!

Online Auctions reach more interested buyers than tag sales and can often sell for more than what you would make at an estate or tag sale.

Invited Estate Sales by Tracy Jordan can do both! You can sell your items online reaching potential buyers locally or globally as well as hosting a private sale from your home! Let us guide you on what items to put in auction including furniture, housewares, decorative items, jewelry, collectibles, coins, artwork and anything else you may no longer want or need. Our services can help you to maximize your selling experience whether you are selling 1 item or 500 items. We are a one stop service for all your needs when you are moving or selling a property! Selling, donating, discarding and cleaning out services can be done to meet your time frame with minimal stress.
