Buying undervalued properties, fixing them up and renting them out for now is a good way to position yourself for the next upturn in real estate prices... smart investors are now aquiring single family homes at large discounts in neighborhoods with good mass transit connections to urban employment centers and decent job growth potentials... then they invest as little as possible to make the homes move in ready and rent them out just below the going market rate... they will rent these properties out for a few years, maintain and manage them, so that they carry themselves while even making a little bit of profit... eventually the next upturn in the real estate market will make it highly profitable to further rehab them and then to unload these properties for a substantial gain... sounds like a good plan as long as they watch the fundamentals and do their math...

Here are some comments from past and present clients of mine I like to share with you:
"My wife and I cannot express how thankful we are to Phyllis for finding us the HOME OF OUR DREAMS in Tarrytown, NY. We have moved ourselves and relocated with corporations over ten times across the country and we can attest that Phyllis is undeniably the best agent we have partnered with in so many ways. She is very patient and attentive. Phyllis worked for us for over one year to help us find our home and she consistently sent us listings that matched our needs. She is amazingly responsive and more often than not would pick-up phone calls right away or call back within 15 minutes... she made us feel as if we were her only customers! Phyllis went out out of her way to accommodate our busy corporate schedules. She met with us in the evening, weekends and even during the holidays. The most important quality Phyllis possesses that is so important in an agent is her high level of integrity and trust. We never felt pressured to place a bid on a home. She always balanced the pros versus the cons and provided us with an objective and unbiased assessment of each home we viewed with her. Even after we closed on our dream home, we continued to do business with her as she was successful and timely in renting our condo. Phyllis you are absolutely the BEST real estate agent and we thank you for all that you have done for us over the past few years." John & KumRae Lee
"Phyllis was diligent and flexible. She didn't use any pressure sales tactics, and didn't limit the houses we saw to the ones she, or her company, were trying to sell. She always went out of her way to do what needed to be done (which ended up being a lot on our case!). We felt completely comfortable working with her and would recommend her to anyone looking in the Hudson Valley area." Chris & Megan Whitten
"Dear Phyllis, words cannot express how grateful we are to have worked with you - you are kind, patient and very generous. We thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts - we could not have done this without you! We are so happy with our new home! Michele, Louis & Rosee
"Phyllis is warm, helpful, honest and committed. Everything you want and need in a real estate broker. Without her help and perseverance we would never have found the home we now love" Lisa & Paul Zedlovich
"I like to share our experience working with Phyllis Lerner. The search for our new home began three months ago prior to meeting Phyllis. During these three months, we had the trials and tribulations that come with house hunting. The agents we worked with would either show us homes that were desirable but clearly out of our communicated price range and vice versa. It was as if no one was listening. Shopping for your first home is filled with its own anxious moments to begin with and the attitudes of the agents were only exacerbating those nervous moments. That changed the day we met Phyllis Lerner. From the first conversation we had, it was obvious that what we wanted was important to her. She showed us three properties that instantly met our criteria. In addition to that, she was intimately familiar with the surrounding area; it felt as if we were getting the inside scoop with every turn we made! It just so happens, we purchased the first property she showed us. Each step of the way, Phyllis was honest and upfront about the next steps and the process. If she didn't know the answer to a specific question, she wouldn't pretend to answer; she would get back to us once she found out, in a timely fashion. Phyllis also has a very professional demeanor. That was never more obvious than during our closing. She was prepared and in control the entire time. The message here would be: buying a home, as we learned, can seem like an insurmountable burden at times. Instead of being one of these obstacles, Phyllis was a valued teammate who helped us to victory." Keith & Adrienne Johnson
"Phyllis Lerner provides the type of service that everyone wishes they could find in a real estate agent - she's diligent, patient, kind, observant of your likes and needs, and a strong advocate for her clients. Whether you're buying or selling, she delivers. She goes above and beyond for you. Once you've worked with her, you'll never want to deal with another agent again." Elizabeth & Brian Weinstein
"My wife and I recently had the good fortune to work with Phyllis Lerner in our attempt to sell our apartment and find a new home. She was professional, delightful, patient and fun to work with. We were able to sell our place (near ask) very quickly and found a new home that my wife and I both love. Throughout the process, Phyllis was truly a pleasure to work with. She was accessible and actually made the process enjoyable. We will absolutely call upon her again should we ever need a realtor's services." David and Heidi Lackowitz
"You are the first realtor I've worked with who actually listened and did not try to upsell or push us into something we would not be interested in" DP
"Phyllis listened carefully to our wants and needs for a new house. She only showed us places that fit our search profile. In the end Phyllis found us a home that she knew we would love." Robert & Brenda Misuraca
"Very knowledgeable, very responsible, and has high level of customer service. She listens and gives you what you want. Great pleasure to deal with. I have recommended her to family and some of my closest friends. She is different from other real estate agents and her commitment to the job, integrity and honesty are refreshing." H.J.S.
"We needed to relocate our growing family from Rockland to Westchester County without breaking the bank. Phyllis found us our dream home at a price we could afford. She also facilitated the sale of our old house through another realtor at our terms. We are extremely happy with our new home purchase and the way our old home was sold." Bob & Cindy Tolomeo
"Simply outstanding, effective and reliable service." Dave Burger & Joan Coffman
The best compliment I can receive is when you refer your friends and family to buy or sell their home with me. If someone you know is thinking of buying, selling or both please contact me at your earliest convenience, as I would be more than happy to take care of them with this very important transaction.
Please do not hesitate to contact me with your real estate objectives.
