Many things-- I am currently marketing a home in Ridgewood 1.65 on N. Pleasant - As you know the level of transactions that take place in RIdgewood- I'm sure you would agree most homeowners in Ridgewood are quite savvy and understand the significance of being represented by a professional. Check this weeks Ridgewood News:Friday's real estate section. For starters, your home would not be in there with a flat fee. Also check http:// www.bparkes.com for a list of some services. I would be glad to work with you- As I have worked in two of the more successful Ridgewood Brokerages- I know what is offered, needed and how the local market works. I'm sure you know it is a unique market. What school? Remember it is what YOU NET!! Too often people are worried about what the brokers fees are- One should not be penalzed for geing good at what one does-it is a very expensive line of work to be in -the cost is very high-- the sellers concern should be about what they are going to net-period. Hope this helps.

Depending on your area there are thousands of agents that will be working with their buyers to sell your home -instead of 1 person. THe prefessional exposure and syndication sites that Realtors have Access to can not be beat. A full services listing agent handles everything. I can go over that Give me a call when you have a chance.... I know the Ridgewood market-I've seen the homes and know the different sections that make all the difference in price... - Sat Mar 22 2008, 06:08

Where in NYC will you be working?
What type of atmosphere are you looking for in your home town?
How large of home do you need? VS want?
Are schools a concern?
NJ has it all --it is just a matter of what you can afford or willing to invest?
I still say Ridgewood-it has it all! If you had one day to look and a budget 500K+, spend it in Ridgewood.
Good Luck- if you need anything you know where to find me.
