The Hair Machine Salon in Rockville Centre is a full service salon and is located at 40 South Park Avenue in the heart of the Village. One of the best stylists is Suzanne and besides being exceptionally talented she also works on Sunday. How great to be able to find a talented hairdresser who is available on Sunday.

Another extra added attraction of the salon is they offer valet parking and in the village of Rockville Centre this is a wonderful perk.

As a Realtor for many, many years I often hear sellers say they want to take their home off the market for the holidays. Don't do it. The holidays are a wonderful time to showcase your home.

What other time of the year does your home look prettier? How inviting are the smells of holiday baking and cooking? Most buyers can visualize entertaining. Nothing nicer than coming into a well light, warm and inviting living room on a cold winter day.

The really big draw for keeping your home available this season is that only really motivated buyers are out looking. Nosey neighbors and casual shoppers are home getting ready for their own holiday.

And last but not least, you only need ONE BUYER, JUST ONE. If your home is not available, that ONE BUYER will buy someone else's house.
