Staten Island, New York - Concetta Pepenella has joined RE/MAX Metro as the newest member of this dynamic sales team. Concetta brings to the office 18 years of experience in real estate and was formerly with Appleseed Homes and Centry 21 Calabrese Realty. The Calabrese brothers Mike and Sal are owners of RE/MAX Metro, the same brokers Concetta started her real estate career and worked with for 10 years, until opening her own agency Pepenella Real Estate a small boutique office. I know that the real estate market has changed, and consumers want to sell their homes with a large company, RE/MAX Metro is the way to go. Specializing in high end and new construction homes, vacant land and resale.

Forgive the tardiness of this "Thank You," but I can not commend you enough on your handling of the sales of both my and my fiance's homes, and the successful purchase of our new home. At a time when the real estate market couldn't have been worse, and the mortgage market even more dismal, you persevered through the two sales and one purchase through every possible high and low that these transactions could have possibly encountered.
To be honest, I thought the transaction was "dead in the water" on more than one occasion; however your knowledge, experience, and unflappable optimism brought about the successful purchase of our "dream home."
I would be pleased to recommend your services to any friend who wanted to buy or sell a house at a fair price on Staten Island. Please feel free to use me as a reference.
Sincerely,
Robert

I recently commented to my husband that a front door says a lot about the person and family living there. Before, stepping foot inside, the front door will tell. It knows! This gave me the idea to take some close up pictures of front doors, as is, at the moment visited.
"Creepy door" Is this front door still decorated for Halloween? Maybe Elvira lives here! Notice the color skull and cross-bone, with the steel door sun-burst overlay!

This "red door" is entry to a lovely old colonial, and as you can see the owners are very patriotic, with their red white and blue motif. A strong welcome in red - softened by the flower wreath.
"Antique" is the first impression given from this front door, a welcome into a Victorian home, with all the Victorian trim. "Come in for some apple pie," is the second impression. I wonder whats the story behind the wrought iron gates? Not the first time this front door has been noticed by the 'New York Times.'

"Private" quiet & beautiful solid cherry wood doors on a center hall colonial. High class people of means - almost like doors on a castle.
This front door is covered in plywood just begging to be brought back into grandeur. A French Mansard built some time in the 1700's, a house long abandoned, and abused and finally sold in foreclosure. Some locals might recognize the humiliation this front door was put through, by the previous owner, who wanted to tear down the house, and couldn't then painting it into a rainbow of colors in retaliation.
"No one is home." The front door newbie on a new construction house, not yet a home, but obviously carefully chosen. A note paper taped to the door, most likly from a construction worker eager to talk to the builder.
Staten Island, New York is certainly the melting pot, of front doors. Front doors come in all shapes and sizes and colors and condition. Just like the people who live behind them.
Any comments about the doors posted here are welcome!

I just received a news update from the New York State Association of Realtors stating FHA Will allow $8000. tax credit funds to be available at the closing table to be used as a down payment. Read the article below.
Homeowners can use $8,000 tax credit as down payment
|
U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Secretary Shaun Donovan says the Federal Housing Administration will permit its lenders to allow homeowners to use the $8,000 tax credit as a down payment. These remarks came in an address to thousands of REALTORS who gathered at The Real Estate Summit: Advancing the U.S. Economy, a special daylong session at the REALTORS Midyear Legislative Meetings & Trade Expo.
"We all want to enable FHA consumers to access the homebuyer tax credit funds when they close on their home loans so that the cash can be used as a down payment," Donovan said. According to Donovan, FHA's approved lenders will be permitted to "monetize" the tax credit through short-term bridge loans, allowing eligible homebuyers to access the funds immediately at the closing table.
Donovan also said he thinks the housing market is seeing early signs of stabilization and that the Obama administration plans to further stabilize the housing market.
"As the leading advocate for housing issues and homeownership, NAR continues to take a leadership role in promoting ideas for improving our economy by stabilizing the housing and real estate markets," said NAR President Charles McMillan. "Today we have the best of the best to begin a dialogue, develop solutions and initiate action toward real estate and economic recovery."
