The Love Affair Continues – The New York Times & Ulster County Real Estate
Tuesday, August 9th, 2011 at 9:53am. 43237 Views, 2 Comments.
There are few greater endorsements for a community than to be featured in the New York Times. A new article published this past weekend once again shined the spotlight on Hudson Valley real estate. Repeating a theme from a 2010 article, the piece highlights the Hudson Valley’s (in particular Rosendale) appeal to Brooklyn residents, which in turn instantly bolsters our area’s street cred (i.e. “cool factor”).
Brooklyn Stand Up
As usual Taft Street Realty has its finger on the pulse of current social trends. Citing the 2010 article, we mused in a blog if Rosendale was the “New Brooklyn”. This time around, we published our "Big Ups To Brooklyn" blog literally the day before the most recent NYTimes article. We strive to produce high…

Pro’s and Con’s of FISBO’s
Monday, March 14th, 2011 at 12:52pm. 513 Views, 0 Comments.
FISBO’s or For Sale By Owner properties have become a popular trend
over the past few years, especially to the property owner who is on the
verge of selling their property as a short sale. Due to the unfortunate
imbalance in the real estate industry over the past several years, many
homeowners are opting for FISBO’s as opposed to short sales. A short
sale basically is a sale in which the bank or the mortgagor is willing
to discount the loan balance due to the misfortunate economic hardship
of the borrower.
To many, the pros of going FISBO seem to be the perfect out when selling real estate. Sellers can literally put money in their pocket by listing the property themselves which weeds out having to pay a commission to a Realtor.…
