Staging in Upper Nyack

Yesterday I held a brokers open house at Riverton in Upper Nyack. I had a very talented staging team work on several rooms. See what they did with an empty room. The response was positive from all my fellow brokers. I must admit I found it difficult to leave. I just wanted to curl up and read a book by the fireplace.

Kitchen Renovations in Nyack

You can see the top four homeimprovements below that give you the best return for your dollar. Even though kitchen remodeling came in fourth place, my experience has been that what truly sells a home these days, is a warm and inviting and –most importantly an open kitchen. I have experienced the draw of the kitchen, both with my friends, when we all stand around our kitchen island, and I recently saw it when my teenage daughter had a party. I came downstairs to find 15-20 kids all crowded into our kitchen area happily chatting away. Besides, how much more fun is a great kitchen than a new front door. As my younger daughter says – really mom?

Baumgarts of Nyack Revisited

It has been some time since Baumgarts opened here in Nyack . I think when they first opened, like all new restaurants they were trying to work out all the kinks. There was some talk that the quality of the Nyack Baumgarts wasn't up to the other locations. We ordered takeout last night, and I am thrilled to report that the food was excellent. The vege dumplings were perfect, as was the sauteed Bok Choy, Snow Peas and Crispy Tofu. We called the manager of Baumgarts to tell him so.... So please support all our local Nyack business establishments, but make it your business to try Nyack's very own Baumgarts.
