Sands Point, NY

Even though Sands Point is a relatively small town and we, as residents, tend to know one another more-so than in other communities, I notice something new and beautiful about our town every day. However, as a New York State Licensed Real Estate Broker working in Sands Point selling one-family houses and helping buyers find one-family houses, I think scenes like the photograph below make my job very easy. First, I love working here. Second, I get to show off beautiful views every day.

Take a look and realize that, as a real estate owner in Sands Point, you'd be one of the owners of it. This is Castle Gould on the Sands Point Preserve.

This is why I love working and living in Sands Point and I cannot think of a better place to raise my children.

OK – so you are reading my blog. I haven't thought much about what I planned to write, but I knew it would be about where I live. I have been a resident Sands Point of this town too long to give worry about where my Blogs would be posted, but I would like to introduce myself. As you can probably see, my name is Tara Downing and I am a Licensed Sales Associate. I have an office in central Nassau County, but I reside in Sands Point. I also have a number of friends who are also clients/customers interested in both upgrading or downsizing within Sands Point, New York or Port Washington, New York. I also have friends from out of town looking to take advantage of the current market to make a great purchase.

In case you don’t know me, I am including a photo.

Take a second look because we've probably met. I help buyers and sellers in our hometown with real estate transactions, but I am also at a baseball field, lacrosse field, or one of dozens of other venues. Basically, with my husband and three kids, I am zooming around town for one reason or another, and it feels like I am doing it 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

The difference between getting a house and not getting a house, or finding that seller willing to pay the extra dollar, makes all the difference. As a long-term resident and long-term real estate agent, I keep my work and pleasure separate.

However, if you ever get even the slightest feeling that your agent is representing someone’s interests other than yours, I know how you feel.

My husband and I bought a house here a decade ago, and have worked with countless buyers and sellers since that date in acquiring or selling their properties; many of whom thought they they were lost causes.

My husband & I may just be breaking 40, but we’ve lived in the area for more than half of our lives, and out kids have spent their entire lives here. If I can give you a hand or even just answer a question, give me a call anytime. My cell is 516-317-5303 and my office line is 516-741-5960.

What does your Front Yard say about you? by New York Feng Shui Consultant

Front Yard on Long Island New York

The importance of maintaining your front yard is for binging in good Chi, according to Feng Shui. It is also important because it is an extension of you and your personality. Take a look at the design of your yard. The type of plants, layout, how it is organized, colors, textures. Do you have grass or is it sold grounding? Does it feel welcoming, or does it have such a presence it may even seem intimidating?

The picture above is of a house on Long Island by the south shore. Walking passed, Laura Cerrano Feng Shui NY consultant could not disregard the sold structure and appearance of the home. More then likely, if you were to enter inside, things would be very organized. The family lifestyle may even be more on the conservative side and successful with what the goals they set to accomplish. It almost give off an energy of dominance.

Looking to the Feng Shui principles there are very nice qualities to the lay out.

• Water fountain in the front yard
• Lions that symbolize power and protection, as with Fue Dogs from China
• Beautifully kept bushes, shrubs and small trees
• curved driveway entrance and is raised up from the street level, power move
  
• curved flower bed

Here is another home on the same block only 6 houses away. Completely different feel. A much softer appeal, lush, and gracing of guest into the home. This family can be organized as well and more relaxed with the lifestyle. It would be interesting to meet them and get a true feel for who they are :)

It's important with how you present your home, for that is how you are present yourself and your energy to the world.

Feng Shui Tip of the day:

It is best not to block the front entrance of your doorway, for you literally and energetically block energy from entering into your space. Being practical, if you must, a Red Car will have to do ;)
