My love affair began in 1965, when I moved here at 18 years of age.
Soon after, I was drafted with many others in the Community into the United States Army.
Plenty of us teenagers were shipped to Viet Nam in 1968.
Coming Home was a Blessing, and it didn't take long to settle down in this great area of
Middle Village.
In 1979, I luckily got involved in the Real Estate Business, which had to be my calling in life.
Meeting people, showing homes, and seeing how happy buyers were when they got the homes they wanted. And be able to work within an area, with so many style Homes, so many shopping stores, with quaint old fashioned Butcher shops, and one of the crown jewels of the entire Community, being JUNIPER VALLEY PARK.

One of Queens’s most beloved parks, Juniper Valley Park is an integral part of its Middle Village neighborhood. Locals come to spend time with old friends and neighbors while groups gather to take full advantage of the tennis, handball, and basketball courts. A shuffleboard court is much beloved by the area's older members, and the bocce courts are always busy, a legacy of the neighborhood's active Italian community.

IT HAS BEEN MY GREAT PLEASURE FOR THE PAST 35 YEARS, TO BE INVOLVED IN THE REAL ESTATE BUSINESS, AND TO HAVE WORKED WITH SO MANY RESIDENTS IN OUR COMMUNITY. THERE IS GREAT COMPETITION IN OUR BUSINESS, HOWEVER WITH MY EXPERIENCES, WITH OVER 3,000 WRITTEN APPRAISALS TO DATE, I FIND THAT SELLING HOME, IS QUITE EASY, ESPECIALLY IN OUR COMMUNITY.
THERE IS NO NEED FOR A LARGE FRANCHISE, AND 40-50 SALES AGENTS TO SELL YOUR HOME. AND I HAVE LEARNED IN THE PAST 35 YEARS, THAT YOU DO NOT NEED 'MULTIPLE LISTING' TO SELL YOUR HOME AS WELL. THIS IS A TRUISM. A COMMUNITY WITH CONVENIENCE, AND HIGH DEMAND FOR DECADES. IF YOU PRICE A HOME CORRECTLY AND FOCUS ON WHAT CURRENT MARKET VALUE IS, A WELL TRAINED PROFESSIONAL CAN SELL YOUR HOME IN THE SHORTEST PERIOD OF TIME.

IN 2014, I EXPECT ANOTHER BOOM YEAR FOR SELLERS AND BUYERS.
COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES HAVE ALSO TAKEN OFF ALONG WITH RESIDENTIAL THIS YEAR, IN 2013.
WITH MORTGAGE RATES SO LOW ON RESIDENTIAL AND ON COMMERCIAL MORTGAGES AS WELL, THE NEXT TWLEVE MONTHS SHOULD BE ADVANTAGEOUS TO BOTH SELLERS, AND BUYERS IN ALL AREAS OF REAL ESTATE.
