The Road to Recovery

In the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, a heated Presidential election and in the eye of a Nor’Easter headed for our area, I hesitate to offer anything other than my condolences and sympathies to my fellow New Jerseyians and New Yorkers who may be displaced, cold, or simply discontent.

Have You Pinned Lately?

Big Blue Gives New York and New Jersey More Than A Victory

After a lackluster season marked by well-timed comebacks, the New York Giants made history as they took their fourth Super Bowl title (and second in five seasons versus New England) as they became the first team to win the championship with just nine regular-season wins.  And as co-hosts for the 2014 Super Bowl, New York [...]

Game Changers

As a true die-hard Giants fan, I can not resist the opportunity to comment on Big Blue’s hard won victory this week.  As I celebrate New York’s win as the NFC Champions and look forward to a strong Super Bowl appearance, I compare the Giants’ late-game comeback to the New York-metro area’s real estate market.

Happy Holidays to All and a Prosperous New Year

In the spirit of the season, in addition to wishing for peace on Earth and goodwill toward men (and women) everywhere, I would also like to share with my family, friends, colleagues, followers and fellow Facebookers my hopes and wishes for 2012: I anticipate that the New York-metro real estate market will continue to have [...]
