Dobbs Ferry, NY

REASON NUMBER FIVE:

The beautiful Hudson River is a 5 minute drive, or 25 minute walk, from 113 Beacon Hill Drive. From the Waterfront Park, on a clear day, you can see north past the Tappan Zee bridge, or south to the George Washington bridge. You can put your kayak in the water. You can take a book and relax under a tree. You can set up a fishing pole. You can sunbathe. You can bring the family down for a barbeque, or use the playground.

REASON NUMBER FOUR:

Dobbs Ferry's sense of community provides many opportunities to meet your neighbors.

From the summer-time free jazz concerts that are held at Waterfront Park http://riverarts.org/SummerJazzSeries.html to the Halloween trick-or-treating where the town streets are closed off for safety and children can trick or treat in town businesses, to the fourth of July fireworks over the Hudson, the annual Dobbs Ferry Festa http://www.ferryfesta.com/, or any number of other community events, you have every reason to get out and about!

REASON NUMBER THREE:

113 Beacon Hill is part of the Beacon Hill Cooperative Estates.

Established in the 1950s, the property contains 158 two and three bedroom apartments in garden style two-story buildings. The property is beautifully landscaped, with outdoor benches placed strategically throughout the complex.

Co-op owners can use the property's swimming pool, leave their beach chairs and lunch in the pool house, utilize the barbeques for a nice summer meal, and enjoy the playgrounds and ball courts. There are also some garages available, although there is typically a waiting list for the garages. There is off-street parking for co-op owners in private lots, and plenty of on-street parking as well.

In addition, the Beacon Hill property is strategically located, and is within walking distance of the county bus system. It's also a 20 minute walk to the train to NYC (or 5 minute drive). Dobbs Ferry is convenient to all!

REASON NUMBER TWO:

Regardless of the food you like to eat, Dobbs Ferry is close to everything. A 15 minute ride gets you to Central Park Avenue, a shopping and eating mecca. In less time, you can get to Stew Leonards and Costcos and more.

Right in the town of Dobbs Ferry, you can enjoy delicious sushi at Sushi Mike's http://www.sushimikes.com/ or Sushi Niji http://www.sushiniji.com/. If sushi doesn't interest you, there are big juicy burgers at Doubleday's, http://doubledaysdf.com/, delicious chef-designed food at the Cookery (my personal favorite), http://www.thecookeryrestaurant.com/, or the Half Moon restaurant located on the river, http://harvest2000.com/hmn/, just to name a few local choices!

You won't go hungry living in Dobbs Ferry!

REASON NUMBER ONE:

This beautiful home could be yours by Spring Time!

It comes complete with seasonal views of the Hudson River, southern exposures producing lots of sunlight; newly refinished floors and painted walls. This home is just waiting for you!

Move in before the spring foliage blooms!

What are you waiting for?

I'm still a relatively new agent (I received my license a year ago, and started working about 11 months ago). To further complicate the start of a new business, five months ago I changed my name and moved to a new town and county. I've been struggling a bit with getting my business started, since I've had to learn all about my new area, had to become familiar with a totally different pricing environment, had to become familiar with new agents and offices, had to market/market/market and had to start networking and meeting potential new friends, customers and clients.

To further make this a crazy year, I broke my ankle (I'm still on crutches), which makes it difficult although not impossible, to show houses. I need a volunteer driver and it takes a bit longer getting up and down stairs, making a bit more difficult. AND, I've had a few family tragedies that have taken me off-line for a bit of time. So 2011 wasn't an incredibly successful year, work-wise.

So now I'm focused on making 2012 my really strong first full year as a real estate agent. I plan to continue many of the activities I WAS able to do (marketing, networking, learning my area, etc), but was trying to come up with a way to set myself apart from all the agents who have been in this area forever. How do I get people to remember me?

So I've been playing with various ideas, and I thought I'd put a couple of them "out there." (Or perhaps, the ideas are just "out there.").

Idea #1. I was cleaning my desk out this morning and found a sketchbook I had started several years ago. When I lived in Dobbs Ferry, NY, I spent a lot of time at the riverfront park, and I had the urge one year to sketch the scenery.

So I sketched a view from the park.

And I also sketched the view looking north towards the Tappan Zee Bridge..

And I sketched a view looking south towards New York City.

So I'm wondering if sketching some of the local landmarks in my new town of Monroe, NY might make people remember me. I could put a favorite sketch on my business card, and my marketing materials, and my website.

Or do you think the "sketching real estate agent" might be remembered as the "sketchy real estate agent," which wouldn't do at all.

Hmmmmm.
