WHY ME?

Summer Effects

The summer season has mixed effects on the Rockaway real estate market. On the one hand, we are a beachfront community and the draw of the summer activities does bring people here for: beaches, swimming, cycling, running, surfing, organized teams for kids and adults (although the pandemic may crimp some of these this year; thankfully the “end” is in sight). On the other hand, some sellers are reluctant to sell during the summer because they enjoy the aforementioned activities and don’t want to give them up so fast!

did “they” move? Why did THAT house sell at THAT price?

It can be harder to sell real estate during the summer due to vacations by buyers and sellers alike. Summer activities can also occupy people instead of allowing them to focus on the home sale process.

This is a MAJOR difference between the service I offer and that of my competitors. My clients get ME! My agents are primarily utilized as back-up. My total involvement in EVERY deal gives my clients the benefit of my knowledge and experience. As a 35 year Rockaway resident, and an 18 year broker here, I know the history of many listings. Historical facts can often make a big difference. Why

The spring season has been generally good for our real estate market. There has been action across the board in all price categories with an emphasis on the range below $1 million (approx). Prices have firmed up within the framework of recent comparable sales and in some cases are creeping higher. Inventory levels remain very low. Call me, Love, Robin. 718-490-9463

I’ve sold over 400 properties primarily in Rockaway. I’ve sold properties in Atlantic Beach, Mill Basin, Bergen Beach, Sheepshead Bay, Bay Ridge, Park Slope, Manhattan Beach. My son David is doing great with sales and rentals in Williamsburg, Bushwick, and North Brooklyn. He occasionally refers contacts to me. Thus, I have some access and overview of the broader market which brings value to my Rockaway clients.
