Admiral’s Walk 805
Sunday, July 11th, 2010The time to buy is now! This huge 1 bedroom, 1 1/2 bath apartment is on a high floor. It is an end unit. The large eat-in-kitchen has a window looking towards the GW Bridge. All windows are floor-to-ceiling and the terrace can be accessed in the master bedroom and dining room. The apartment is in move-in condition. Admiral’s Walk is like a resort hotel-especially in the summer. Check out the beautiful, 8 acres of park-like, landscaped grounds; the outdoor pool by the Hudson, the gym, tennis courts or private walking paths with picnic benches and barbeques. Roll out of bed and onto the NYC Ferry for the 12 minute ride to midtown. Walk to schools, parks, restaurants and shopping. Access all major highways in minutes. Great complex! Great price! Great idea!

Dear Lois and John,
Thank you
so
very much for the help of selling our house.
We couldn’t have done this without your help. Please share our testimonial with your
prospective clients so that they may see what remarkable advisors you have been
to us.
In this tough
housing market, it is a daunting task to be able to move a product
quickly. In our case, we needed to do it
with lightning speed. This meant that we
needed to choose the right agents for the marketing of our house and also strategically
come to the right price to be able to generate maximum interest. If either of these factors were off, it could
mean the death knell and we would’ve been stuck in the selling mode for months
and months. With the counsel of Lois and
John, we were able to price it correctly and achieve results immediately. Even though the marketing tools were
beautiful, we didn’t even get a chance to use them. We received offers before our open house that
following weekend and we accepted an offer that we were happy with, within less
than a week. “How is that possible in
this economy?” everyone asked. The
answer: We were advised well by Lois Fein
and John Schwartz.
Apart
from
the all-important pricing of the house, the next important would be the staging
of the product. John was able to help
stage our home maximizing the beauty and livability of it. It presented the right “stage” for a
potential new home buyer to see their things in the house. The agents viewing the home before the open
house were eager to call clients immediately and set up viewing appointments
before the public got there. It was very
exciting. Comments like: “What a gorgeous home” and “This will get
snatched up very quickly” boosted our confidence that we went with the right agents.
On a personal
note, we have worked with many agents before who were very professional and did
a good job to cross their T’s and dot their I’s. Lois is more than that, however. She offers warmth and strong comfort that you
will be taken care of and you know it’ll be taken care of. When she says she’ll call you, she does. When you need to get a hold of her, even for
trivial things, she’s there for you. She
reminds you to de-clutter a countertop before a showing and to get forms and
certificates to your lawyer to make for a smoother closing. She can be a tough executive agent with warm
motherly tones and yet stay professional throughout. She has made this usually anxious process
unusually smooth and relaxing. Thank you
Lois for all you’ve done. I hope others
will get to experience how extraordinary you truly are.
With great gratitude,
Hazel and Matthew Early
