Partner with a Good Mortgage Broker - A crucial aspect of buying a home is securing the right mortgage. A competent mortgage broker can be invaluable in this process.

• Financial Assessment: Brokers can evaluate your financial situation, helping you understand how much you can realistically afford, ensuring you only consider homes within your budget.

• Access to Deals: Brokers can find loans that suit your specific needs, often securing better rates and terms.

• Streamlining the Process: The mortgage process can be daunting, especially with new regulations in 2024. A broker can guide you through the complexities, simplifying steps and paperwork.

The 2024 home market on Long Island will be busier than last year. By staying informed, leveraging professional help, and understanding financial options, buyers and sellers can navigate these waters with greater confidence and success.

By JoAnn Cilla 2023 was a tough year for the residential real estate market on Long Island.

Higher interest rates and the lowest level of available homes in decades brought the crazy pace of 2020-2022 to a grinding halt.

A month into 2024, the residential home market is showing a few signs of growth. I read several reports and articles that the housing market on Long Island will see a small increase in inventory. This increase, along with lower mortgage rates, will mean a better environment for both buyers and sellers.

Tips for Prospective Buyers and Sellers If you are looking to buy or sell a home in 2024, here are four key areas to consider: 1.

Understand the Market Trends: Keep an eye on what’s happening in your town. For sellers, this means timing the market to get the best value for your property.

Buyers should be aware of the changing inventory levels and pricing trends to make informed decisions.

2.

Put Your Home in the Best Light: Sellers, simple improvements and professional staging can make a big difference.

For buyers, it’s important to visualize the potential of each property.

3. Negotiation Skills: Both buyers and sellers should hone their negotiation skills or work with skilled agents who can help negotiate on their behalf.

L

ooking to add some kick to kick-off? Take flavor and heat off the bench and put them into the game with these recipes from Frank’s RedHot, America’s number one hot sauce. Whether you’re tailgating or hosting from home,

Frank’s RedHot Original Cayenne Pepper Hot Sauce, made with a premium blend of aged cayenne peppers, is a must-have ingredient. (StatePoint)

Classic Buffalo Chicken Wings If you’re someone who agrees that no tailgate or watch party is complete without wings, you’re in good company. According to Chef Jordan Carfagno of Frank’s RedHot, chicken wings are the brand’s most searched recipe during football season. And it’s no wonder, Frank’s is the original Buffalo wings sauce flavor. Anyone looking to kick their wings up a notch can try this mouthwatering recipe for a classic take on wings, and it can be made in the oven at home, or in an air fryer if you’re tailgating.

Ingredients:

ISLIP - SOUTH BAY’S NEIGHBOR NEWSPAPERS - WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 2024 • WWW.LONGISLANDMEDIAGROUP.COM

2. Arrange wings on large foil-lined pan. Bake on lowest oven rack for 30 minutes or until crispy, turning once.

3. Toss wings in sauce mixture until well coated. Serve with blue cheese and celery, if desired.

Buffalo Chicken Dip Chef Carfagno says dip recipes are gaining popularity this year, and this spicy creamy Buffalo chicken dip is the MVP of them all. Make it in the oven at home or plug in an instant pot or slow cooker for on-the-go prep.

Ingredients: • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken • 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened • 1/2 cups Frank’s RedHot Original Cayenne Pepper Hot Sauce • 1/2 cup ranch dressing • 1/2 cup blue cheese crumbles Directions: 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Mix all ingredients in a large bowl. Spoon into a shallow 1-quart baking dish.

2.

Bake 20 minutes or until mixture is heated through; stir.

This football season, bring your A-game to your tailgate spread by adding the perfect blend of flavor and heat to classic fan favorites.

About Family Pet Shows Family Pet Shows, formerly known as The

Horse and Pet Expo, is a family-owned and operated company run by Karen and Dennis Garetano, and their son Joe Garetano. In 1994, after years of publishing Horseworld USA magazine, they launched a horse expo in 1994 in Fort Washington, PA. After two years of successfully producing this show, they expanded the event to include other animals and pets and changed the name to the Horse and Pet Expo, and began adding new locations. The company now hosts seven different pet shows annually in New York, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania, and each event draws thousands of dedicated pet lovers. The Garetanos have always been dedicated to making the shows educational and fun, with the ultimate goal of teaching importance of responsible pet ownership. They provide complimentary display space to many 501(c)3 rescue and adoption groups to help save many animal lives, and a majority of the floor space is devoted to entertainment and educational program presented by a wide variety of organizations and performers. They strive to make every show a family and pet friendly pet event like no other they can find in the northeast. www. familypetshows.com

ISLIP - SOUTH BAY’S NEIGHBOR NEWSPAPERS - WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 2024 • WWW.LONGISLANDMEDIAGROUP.COM

The Long Island Pet Expo returns on March 2-3, 2024, with fur flying entertainment, dog sporting competitions and educational programs designed for the whole family. The event returns to the Suffolk Federal Credit Union Arena and features many special attractions, pet adoptions and outstanding shopping for pet lovers and their pets.

“The Long Island area is passionate about animals and pets of all kinds,” said show co-producer Karen Garetano of Family Pet Shows, which runs several similar events in the northeast.

The 100+ special exhibits always feature some of the hottest new products coming out often before they hit the retail shelves. Pets on leashes are always welcome, and several area rescue groups with adoptable pets will be on hand. Popular performers and presenters include Gail Mirabella and the Dynamo Dogs, Diana Frohman and her Beautiful Dancing Dogs, Schutzhund Demonstration

by Maximum K9 Service, the Dog Lovers Days Lure Course, Rainforest Reptiles Shows, TICA Championship Cat Shows, Rabbit Hopping, the Long Island Dog Derby and more “We always have fun at these events, but we also are strong supporters of

Islip High School Promotes CPR/AED Awareness

ISLIP - SOUTH BAY’S NEIGHBOR NEWSPAPERS - WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 2024 • WWW.LONGISLANDMEDIAGROUP.COM

Just prior to the winter break, Islip High School facilitated Hands Only CPR instruction during physical education classes at the high school. This state-mandated lesson promotes awareness of the benefits of learning how to perform CPR and using an Automated External Defibrillator (AED), and serves as a first step for students interested in pursuing more formal CPR/AED certification. The CPR course, based on the

American Red Cross Two Step Save a Life program, is taught by Islip’s physical education teachers, who then take the instruction one step further and introduce how to identify, locate and use an AED located in the high school.

“We teach this prior to the holiday recess because it’s a time when families tend to be in large gatherings and the likelihood of an emergency occurring may increase,”

said John Sparacio, Islip’s director of health, physical education and athletics.

“Our students are engaged and very receptive to the training, and take it very seriously. My hope is to bring awareness and give direction on the benefits of being and becoming a certificated first responder, as well as providing resources for students to explore a potential career path in the health science field.”

Robotics Team Competes At VEX Over Under game

East Islip High School’s robotics team competed in the VEX Robotics Over Under game on Jan. 27, held at John F. Kennedy High School in Bellmore. The all-day event featured over 45 teams from around the Tri-State area. This year’s tournament was played on a 12x12 square field. Two alliances – composed of one “red” and one “blue” team each – competed in twominute matches to attain a higher score.

East Islip team captains Kaitlyn McCall and Jishnu Roy Chowhuri led the squad to a sixth-place finish at

the end of the qualification matches. Robot driver Matt Collins performed extremely well under the pressure and was 5-1 in competition play.

The remaining robotics team members helped in the pit area all day, fine tuning and making last-minute adjustments to the robots.

The team will next compete on Feb. 17 at Adelphi University.

“I enjoyed coming to the event,” sophomore Jackson Carucci said. “It really opened me up to friendly competition and I gained valuable experience about teamwork and robotic

design.”

“We did really well with our new robots,” junior William Blaschuk said. “We faced a lot of challenges that will help us learn and improve upon for our next competition.”

“I was extremely proud of the team during this event,” technology teacher and robotics adviser James Connell said. “It’s a great opportunity for students in the robotics classes and club to get a real practical experience, and it helps them further expand their knowledge of competition robotics.”

Suffolk Legislator Tom Donnelly (D-Deer Park) is pleased to inform Islip residents about the local Suffolk County Office for the Aging Winter 2024 Senior Advocate Schedule.

Senior advocates are County representatives who come out into the community and assist seniors with information gathering, completion of eligibility or recertification applications and referrals to appropriate community agencies.

“This is an excellent

chance for senior citizens to get the assistance and information they need by connecting with the County’s senior advocates right in their own communities,” said Legislator Donnelly. “I hope all those interested in the services that the Suffolk County Office for the Aging provides will take advantage of this opportunity.”

In the coming months, Senior Advocates will be visiting the following locations in the Town of

“For more than three decades, the Suffolk County Office for the Aging has been providing full and trouble-free access to critical services,” Donnelly said. “I am glad to see their great professional community outreach program continue and hope that every senior resident will make full use of it.”

The Value Of Repeat Customers bottom lines. A study from researchers at Harvard Business School found that a customer’s eighth purchase was an average of 80 percent higher than

his or her first purchase.

In addition, a survey from the strategic planning, marketing and sales consultants Altfeld, Inc. found that the probability

of selling to an existing customer is between 60 and 70 percent, while that probability shrinks to as low as 5 percent for new customers.
