This beautiful brick building was once the home to the Newark Catholic Archdocese and Seton Hall Seminary features 92 condominium units set in the heart of the private enclave of Rio Vista Mahwah.
The building is divided into 5 sections also known as towers and is aptly named Walsh Hall after the late Archbishop Thomas J. Walsh (1928-52), who spearheaded the expansion of Seton Hall's seminary campus to the former Darlington Estate between 1933-37. The Seminary remained active until 1982 when the Mahwah over 440 acre campus was sold to Darlington Associates.
After a total renovation, Walsh Hall is one of the premier luxury buildings in Bergen County. The building features: 5 elevators, 276 parking spaces plus 64 covered deeded spaces, Clubhouse&Recreation center, fabulous party room, lounge and game rooms, tennis, bocce and basketball courts are all available for residents. The residents also have use of the Rio Vista outdoor pool, weight room, aerobics center and weight room.

I know...you want to save money in this market so you want to market your home for sale as a For Sale by Owner (FSBO). Your thinking is that you will save the commission normally charged by an agent and the real estate broker. It does seem tempting to try to save money particularly in this crazy real estate climate BUT consider the following questions:
1. Do you really know what your property is worth in TODAY's market?
The reality of today's market is... that if you price your home too high, you will not sell your home. In addition, you may not consider what the banks will LEND to the buyer for your home. Pricing is the single most important factor when listing the home and pricing should be based on market FACTS drawn from actual sales data from the last 30 to 120 days. Yes, that his how the banks do it AND they need recent data --- not what homes sold for 12, 18, 24 months ago. Those markets no longer exist. So, to sell your home ( AND YOU CAN SELL YOUR HOME IN THIS MARKET ) you need to price it right and aggressively.
2. Do you have access to the most recent sales data/figures for homes in your town, neighborhood, street?
This is critical. You need to draw on factual data that draws as far down as possible to your neighborhood and street. Unfortunately, some internet sites give TAX data instead of sales or market value which can be off as much as 80% of the fair market value of your home. Are you ready to use that information to price your home?
3. Are you ready to pay to advertise?
To effectively market your home you need to be in multiple media sources including: news print, in magazines, on the interent on primarly net sources like., realtor.com , trulia, craigslist, etc. And, I don't mean the FREE listing sections --- I mean the paid for AD sections that increase your exposure and lift your listing UP in the search engine optimization ( SEO ). This is also cumulative --- base on multiple exposures --- for multiple ads? Can you make a 6 month commitment to an ad budget?
4. Can you create your own WEB SITE?
And, more importantly, can you get your web site seen by buyers? You will need professional photos and you will need to provide buyers --- the access to those photos, brochures, TAX maps, zoning details and town amenities --- all when BUYERS want them.
5. Can you remain objective about criticisms about your home and remain calm during the negotiation process?
You need to be able to step away from the emotional attachment for your home and property. This is not an easy task and it is even difficult when you hire a realtor on your behalf. After all , your home is the single, largest financial asset you may have --- and it moving ranks above divorce and below death of a family member as far as stress is concerned. You should have an educated sounding board that is able to field your questions and concerns and is an advocate for your behalf.
6. Will you be able to screen callers before they come to your home and about their financial ability to purchase your home?
Once your home is advertised and your phone number is published --- all kinds of people, businesses and just plain nosey folks have access to your home and your personal space. How do you know they are quailified? And, if they go to an answering machine to screen the calls --- will you lose that qualified buyer? Will you create the impression that your home is empty and waiting for visitors? Will you create the impression that you are not interested in selling? You need someone who is experienced to take the calls.
7. Are you able to draw a legally correct contract including all the conditions and terms that are in your area?
The legal-eeze is critical with the sale of your home. Are you familiar with the current legal aspect of selling your homefrom a contract stand point? Are you familiar with the current Codes in your town as they relate to fire, CO2, radon? What about the home inspection issues?
8. Are you familiar with the terms and liabilities associated with your properties history and the seller disclosure laws in your state?
Depending on the state in which you live --- you are legally responsible for disclosing issues surround your properties history, maintanence and any permits that are necessary for those improvements and/or upkeep of you home.
9. Are you willing to lose out on the large RELOCATION network that brokers are associated with?
There are literally hundreds of people that relocate every day. People move every 5 to 7 years some of which relocate to another state. You need to have access to those buyers and those resources. AND, you need to have your home advertised to other brokers in your county, state and nationwide --- 24/7 --- in order to most effectively market your home for sale. Why limit your advertising exposure to your local newspaper?
10. Do you have the TIME to market your home?
Let's face it. Most of us work, go to school, manage a home and a family. Do you really have the time to dedicate to the marketing of your home --- as your full time job? You do have other things to do -- to make sure that your life stays on track. Call a local realtor to help you --- and they will do what they do best --- market and sell homes.
The reality is that the statsistics show --- homes that are listed and marketed by a realtor actually sell for almost 15 percent higher --- than homes sold by owners. And, that includes the commission price. Are you willing to sell yourself short?
Remember, real estate is highly regionalized. For FREE information about the value of your home based on the current market contact me at CupaT@aol.com , or see www.PamelaStetson.com . I would love to help you.

TOWNSHIP COUNCIL TO CUT DARE, JUNIOR POLICE ACADEMY AND LEADERSHIP ACADEMY PROGRAMS
Budget cuts being considered by the Mayor and Township Council will cut 3 police officers, eliminating the staffing available for DARE, Junior Police Academy and Youth Leadership Academy. Police support for the Kid Care Identification Program and Red Ribbon Safety Week will also be lost.
Over 6,000 police hours annually will be cut, forcing the police department to eliminate its instructional support for these three community programs which combined in 2008 to reach roughly 1,000 students. This is Mahwah's largest community outreach program, and the only effort focused on developing decision-making skills in the face of peer pressure related to drugs, alcohol, bullying as well as gang recruitment and cyber safety. More information about these programs can be found at www.mmasite.org.
Urgent Requested Action
The next town council meeting is January 22, 2009 at 8pm at the Municipal Building. The MMA is urging concerned parents, community leaders and others to contact Mayor Richard Martel at rmartel@mahwahtwp.org to demand continued use of police resources for these programs.
The MMA also encourages its supporters to contact council members directly by telephone and by fax. Contact information is provided at the end of this email.
Critical Communications Points
· Only DARE, Junior Police Academy and Youth Leadership Academy create personal bonds between children and police. These bonds help kids see the police as a resource and help the police learn about threats to our children. Without these connections, an important community link will be lost.
· Prior cuts sacrificed the Student Resource Officer.
· DARE is a critical educational program; without DARE there is no police-led curriculum for drug and alcohol education in our schools. Currently, DARE is taught at the 5th, 7th and 10th grade levels. For 5th graders, DARE is a crucial learning experience before entering middle school. A highlight of the 5th grade experience is the DARE culmination ceremony which draws several hundred attendees.
· Junior Police Academy is a highly popular summer program that engages 6th grade children in an intensive 2 week program simulating officer training. A high impact part of the program simulates the dangerous experience of driving under the influence of alcohol.
· Youth Leadership Academy is a growing program inspired by the success of DARE and the Junior Police Academy. Offered to grade 7 students it continues the leadership and decision-making instruction.
· Police staffing will be reduced to 1997 levels, when the town population was significantly smaller than our present size of roughly 25,000. A smaller force means fewer opportunities to combat crime and slower emergency response times.
The Mahwah Municipal Alliance will keep you posted with new developments. We urge you to use this email to register your concern with both Mayor Martel as well as the town council.
Thank you for your support.
