The Hamlet of Hewlett by Chana Bienstock

As I point my compass eastward, I find myself in Hewlett, Long Island. Hewlett, in reality is not a town, but a hamlet in Nassau County. The population exceeds 7,000. There are, however, villages within Hewlett itself. They are Hewlett Bay Park, Hewlett Harbor and Hewlett Neck. Hewlett was named after George Hewlett, who came to America from Buckinghamshire, England in the late 1600’s. It was renamed Fenhurst in 1892, only to be name Hewlett once again by a descendant of George Hewlett who donated land to the LIRR on the condition that the name be reinstated.

What attracts someone to move to Hewlett? It’s no secret the Hewlett/Woodmere school district boasts its excellent scores as one of the top school district in the state of New York. Students who graduate from Hewlett/Woodmere high schools are usually accepted to the most prestigious colleges and universities in the nation. The area also has a beautiful new library. Now, in its 60th year, the library contains over 200, 000 books. It caters to both Hewlett and Woodmere residents with its many programs geared for toddlers, children, teens, adults and seniors.

Another attraction I truly enjoy in Hewlett is Grant Park. Located on Sheriden Blvd. off of Broadway, it is a very easy commute from Brooklyn, Queens and West Hempstead. We enjoy the park all year round, be it ice skating in the winter or running through the sprinklers on a hot summer day. There is a playground geared for different age groups and a beautiful bike path for the older ones to enjoy the scenic route around the entire park.

Hewlett Bay is also a great place to visit during the summer. There is a pool, a playground and of course the bay which leads into the Atlantic. The cost is quite low for Nassau County residents. The bay has something for everyone.

Hewlett is also known for its beautiful homes. Most homes in the area are older built on magnificent properties. Prices of the homes for sales are quite vast. It can range anywhere from 400,000 to $4 million. I would recommend touring the villages of Hewlett Bay Park, Hewlett Harbor and Hewlett Neck and view the spectacular architecture of the homes. Whether by bike, auto or foot, it is surely worth the tour.

Hewlett is a beautiful neighborhood where its residents feel a strong sense of community and are very proud of their town. They take pride of their residences, streets and parks and I must say, it really does show!

Cedarhurst, Then & Now- By Ann Bienstock

Since the List publication is primarily distributed in the Five Towns area, I have decided to write about the history of the Five Towns, focusing each week on one particular town. Despite its name, though, none of the communities are actually towns. The Five Towns is actually a conglomerate of the “towns” of Cedarhurst, Lawrence, Inwood, Hewlett & Woodmere. It was because of their similarities that they were combined into this group. However, by the year 1910, the population of Cedarhurst had expanded to such great proportion that on September 16th, it became an incorporated village. It had its own court system, board of trustees, tax department and building department. The Village of Lawrence also eventually became an incorporated village. The remaining three towns have remained hamlets. This week, I will concentrate on Cedarhurst.

The village of Cedarhurst was originally settled before the War of Independence. According to local lore, Cedarhurst took its name from the grove (‘hurst’) of cedar trees near the post office. It was first inhabited by Native Americans and then by farmers, slaves and wealthy landowners from Great Britain. The entire Five Towns are surrounding Cedarhurst was occupied by British troops.

Cedarhurst today has over 6000 residents and resides over one square mile. It is a vital commercial area and a cultural hub of the South Shore of Long Island. It is knows for its historic museums, public & private golf and tennis clubs, and four season recreational facilities. It offers quick access to beaches, and is within close proximity to an international airport. Finally, it attracts Long Islanders from its surrounding towns; be it for the famous fashion and dining center found on Central Avenue or its Tuesday night concerts series situated in the Cedarhurst Park.

I was privileged to recently interview Mayor Andrew J. Parise, the mayor, (otherwise knows as Town President). Hearing his personal biography as well as hearing the village’s history was quite fascinating.

The mayor of Cedarhurst was born & raised in one of the five towns; Inwood. He attended Inwood grammar school, Lawrence Middle School and graduated from Lawrence High School. Immediately after graduation, he enlisted into the army where he so valiantly fought in World War II for three harsh years. He fought in many countries such as France, Germany and Czechoslovakia. The numerous medals of honor hanging in his office in the Village Hall are a testimony of his bravery, courage and devotion to his country. Mr. Parise moved to Cedarhust in 1946 where he currently resides. During those years, the area was mostly wooded lands where wealthy landowners from Great Britain resided. Mr. Parise lived in a stable house owned by Lord Estate. Each estate consisted of a few acres of land.

Mayor Parise was always involved in politics; on the local level and well as the state. He was active in the VFW and community affaris and chief of staff in the Town of Hempstead of seven different administrations. He was asked to join on the village board in 1971 and was involved ever since.

The mayor has been very instrumental in revolutionizing the Village of Cedarhurst. Projects such as the Cedarhurst Memorial Plaza, the Cedarhurst Park Revitalization Program, the revitalization of the business district and the Tuesday night concerts under the gazebo are example of activities spearheaded by the mayor. The mayor constantly tours the village keeping a watchful eye on the business district and does his best to fill vacant shops, while keeping its roads well lit and clean.

Cedarhurst is a “great place to live, work and play.” It is an upscale village with many amenities available for everyone. Yet, it is still small enough that people know one another. Cedarhurst is certainly a unique village where it has kept its old world charm of yesteryear combined with its modern characteristics and technology of today.

Ten Characteristics of a Great Realtor

Ten Characteristics of a Great Realtor

1) A great Realtor has time for you. They manage your home sale or purchase personally and are the single point of contact for you. They answer your calls within a few hours (or minutes) and make you feel as though yours is the only home sale or purchase on which they are working. Your sale is never delegated to an assistant for important tasks.

2) A great Realtor shows you how they are going to market your house using a completely integrated marketing plan that includes, print, a strong internet presence, and word of mouth. Over 90% of first time home buyers go to the internet first. What kind of internet marketing do they do? How updated and easy to navigate is their website? How many hits does their site get on a daily basis?

3) The best Realtors are honest about the price they expect your home to command. The Realtor who tells you your house has the highest value is not necessarily the Realtor who will get you the most money. It is well known among Realtors that there are Realtors who ‘buy the listing’ by telling you an artificially indefensible number you want to hear, not one that the market may bear.

4) Hire a Realtor who walks the walk, not just one who talks the talk. It is amazing the number of Realtors who rent the house in which they live. A December 2008 study by Realtor magazine said only 41% of all Realtors own investment property. Would you hire a stock broker who owned no stock? Until a Realtor has been in your shoes, they cannot fully advise you.

5) A great Realtor belongs to a reputable brokerage. The brokerage represents the Realtor’s support structure for you. Do they have a market presence that can attract buyers? Do they offer their Realtors legal support, training and advertising assistance that can insure your house is sold in a legally sound manner and for the highest price? Most importantly, what do past clients have to say about them? Do they have a Testimonials page on their site or the ability to give multiple recent referrals?

6) A great Realtor earns every cent of their commission and strives to keep it as vehemently as they strives to get you the highest possible price for your home. If Discount Realtors are so quick to discount their own fees, how do you think they will be in standing up for you during a hard negotiation to get you a great price for your home?

7) A great Realtor knows your neighborhood. They can quote the statistics of what is selling, why and where. They know the schools, the stores, the places of worship, the traffic patterns and what the hot issues for the town are. They know how far the parks are from your home. In short, they know everything about your neighborhood so they can do the best job of selling your home.

8) A great Realtor has a track record of successful negotiations. When you interview a Realtor, ask them to recount a story or two about a really tough negotiation they have had and how they succeeded in getting what their client wanted. If you get a deer in the headlight type response to this question pick another Realtor.

9) A great Realtor probably has some statistics to prove they're the #1 Realtor in their area. Ask them to provide 3rd party documentation of how many sales they've done in the last year or so, and have them compare it to other Realtors in your area. If they cannot provide this information to you, or don't want to, then they have something to hide.

10) A great Realtor gives you a defensible, comprehensive market analysis to support their price and marketing recommendation.



If you are selling your home and you're looking for an honest broker who cares about you and your home, and will tell you the truth about your homes value before you sign up, who goes the extra mile showing your home even when it's an off-hour or on short notice and performs above and beyond the norm, please call us.


If you are a buyer, and you're tired of being shown houses above your price range, being misled about details, or being harrassed to make an offer--please call us. We do not believe the formula to success is to be a pushy as possible. We are transaction facilitators helping make the home-buying process easier on both sides.

The Time is NOW!

The Time is NOW- By Ann Bienstock


I am getting many phone calls each day from consumers looking for a “good deal”. If you are one of those investors who believe in the “buy low & sell high” philosophy, then I think now is a good time to consider buying that property you’ve been eyeing. Surf the web and check out the abundance of foreclosures and short sales (homes which lenders have not yet seized). Housing prices have pretty much bottomed out and interest rates are historically low. This combination set a buyer in the driver’s seat.

If you plan to buy an investment property and hold on to it for many years, you can be pretty confident you will see positive results. According to the National Council of Real Estate Investment, the average annual return for apartment investments is about 12%, compared to 9.5% for stocks, 5.1% for bonds and currently, you can yield a whopping 1.75% from bank CD’s!

Before you take the plunge, try to remember a few pointers:

• Educate yourself – if you buy the property for a “quick flip”, make sure the area isn’t flooded with similar homes. Be sure you can get a buyer. For a long term investment, make sure the rent will cover the mortgage payment, and other expenses.
• Don’t buy the property for more than its worth in the current market.
• Know your finances – banks are tough these days. Tighten your credit and have all your finances are in place so as not to delay your purchase. Good deals go quickly.
• Buyer Beware – most investment properties are sold “as is”. Do your due diligence and thoroughly inspect the property so you can calculate for improvements.


Now, go start searching for those hot deals and watch your money grow!!

Spring Into Action

SPRING INTO ACTION- By Ann Bienstock


We still have snow on the ground, yet the calendar shows that spring is approaching real soon. Sellers commonly start marketing their homes in the beginning of spring. The weather is pleasant, the buyers are bountiful. The only drawback of the busy spring selling season is the competition from so many homes available. The goal here is to make your home stick out from the others and sell it fast while getting the best price without burying yourself with unnecessary expenses.

• First impressions count – keep exterior freshly painted. Power-wash if necessary. The walkway to front door should be clear and welcoming. Grass and shrubs should be trimmed. Front door should not be warped or have paint peeling or chipped. All outside lights should be functioning correctly.
• Clean up! – This takes a trip to Target or Costco, but it is vital in selling a home. Nothing turns away a buyer more than a house which looks neglected. Throw out or donate worn out sofas, armchairs, toys, old books and newspapers. Make sure there’s easy walkway around furniture. Shampoo carpet and polish wood floors.
• Paint – putting a fresh coat of paint on walls and moldings definitely make your home more appealing and shows a buyer you care. Remember, keep colors neutral.
• Fix code violations – make sure you don’t have any open permits from any construction you may have done over the years. Call your building department if you are unsure. This might be a bit costly, but it would be quite difficult to sell your home without proper permits.
• Inspect your home – this means exactly that! It’s worthwhile to hire a professional home inspector so he can examine your home and advise you on which repairs he feels are priority or which are just cosmetic.
• Put appliances under home warranty – this gives buyers more confidence, especially when dealing with an older home. Don’t forget, most first time home buyers don’t have extra cash to replace old appliances when they make their purchase, so this is a good incentive.
• Freshen up kitchen & bath – get rid of mildew stains and re-caulk old tiles. If you have a bit extra money, replace toilets in bathrooms (if they are very old), update light fixtures and sinks in both kitchen and baths. This shouldn’t cost too much, but surely makes quite a difference.


These are just a few ideas to start getting your home ready for sale this coming spring season. Feel free to contact me anytime for more tips and great ideas. With these helpful hints, you are definitely on your way to having the “sold” sign on your yard.

Buying or Selling a Home? Here’s why you should consider working with a realty agency

In these days, it seems you can do anything online. Getting answers and information is easier than ever and buying real-estate also seems like an easy job. Just hop on to craigslist, look for anything that seems like a dream house, get the price and call up the agents to schedule a visit.

But when buying a house, working with many agents can get you into a loop, it might put you in a new home, but you lack the trusting relationship of a long term client. Teaming with a professional agent and asking him to work on your behalf makes you a preferred client, which means you will receive loyalty, full disclosure, and probably the best price available, which is not so obvious when you work on your own.

Same goes for selling a house. While FSBO (For Sale by Owner) is not necessarily a bad way to go, homeowners typically do not get the same prices as professional agents. Even after factoring in agent's fees, the amount of work it takes to sell a home tends to make an agent a worthwhile investment. An experienced realtor deals only with qualified buyers with serious intentions of making a purchase. You won’t spend your time dealing with buyers who are not pre-screened or pre-qualified and it’s easy for an agent to direct the potential buyer to places in the house that can attract him most and increase the chances of a sale.

So, if you are looking to buy or sell a home in the Five Towns area and you need a reliable real estate agency, you should probably know that since 2007, Five Towns Miller Realty has been involved in more real estate transactions in the area than any other realtor.

Buying or Selling a Home? Don’t forget the Virtual Tour!

Remember when we used to call front desk and make a hotel reservation? Today, when I book a room, I never talk to anybody. I just go online and start searching hotels and prices. A cheap fee is important, but not less important are photos and virtual tours. When I book a hotel, I want to see the place, feel the lobby, and have a virtual swim in the pool. If a hotel has lots of photos and a good price – I’d probably book it right away. And I’m not alone… Turns out that 99% of consumers prefer virtual tours and lots and lots of photos, but not only while booking a hotel.

Did you know that 87% of home buyers search for real estate online? Do you think that one photo of a living room will persuade a buyer to come over? Not likely… Just like in the hotel business, giving a customer a virtual showcase is probably the most obvious requirement in real estate. Virtual tour saves buyers and sellers time, while providing a convenient and secure transaction.


Now you can enjoy the benefits of a virtual tour if you log on to www.fivetownsrealtor.com and have a private, 360 tour, anywhere in the Greater Five Towns of Long Island, including Cedarhurst, Woodmere, North Woodmere, Woodsburgh, Lawrence, Hewlett, Inwood and the eastern end of Far Rockaway.

Life's beach in Far Rockaway

I’m not a summer person. Not at all. I like the cold, rainy days of New York, and I tend to melt during July-August. So I was pretty happy when everybody around me were complaining about June and the heavy rains and chilly weather. Still, enough is enough. I think it’s about time for some summer, don’t you? I need the beach. I got the color of a frozen chicken and I need to get some tan.


I like to take the A train up to Far-Rockaway to the Rockaway beach and boardwalk. It’s one of the prettiest beaches around the city and one of my favorite summer spots. It’s got more than 170 acres of sun and sand, so there’s pretty much room for everybody. The cool thing about this beach is the fact that it’s the only surf spot in the city and I can feel a little California in the air. You can spot the surfers on the train, follow them to the beach and see them catching the waves.


When the surf’s down and the waves are gone, I love to bring in a fishing pole and catch me a nice striped bass for dinner.

Selling a house? Avoid stinky surprises and start cleaning like there's no tomorrow!

Selling your house? Getting your home ready for the big show is an important step. When buyers come to see a house, they don’t look at walls and staircases. They look at your home, the way you organized it, how the furniture look in the living room and how does a king-bed fit in the bedroom. You wouldn’t like sell the house to a messy buyer that seems to be disorganized and keep loosing the papers. Buyers wouldn’t jump on a house that’s owned by messy residents as well. They might think that the looks suggests some hidden problems. So what can you do?

"Lawn? What Lawn?!"

For example, repainting the interior and exterior of your home is relatively inexpensive and offers huge results in terms of curb appeal. Inside, it's best to make your home as free of clutter as possible. Cut the loan and clean the gutters. Remove the clutter and clean the rooms. You may even want to rent a storage space for extra furniture and items - even your closets should look spacious. Look for dripping pipes and faucets, cracks and mold. Take out the trash a couple of times a day and avoid stinky surprises. Making your house available to be shown on short notice (within reason) is critical. Buyers often give little lead-time that they're available to see houses and if they can't get into yours, they won't buy it.

A reliable real estate agent might not be able to clean your house for you, but he should be able to handle most of the negotiations, home inspection, contractor appointments, mortgage pre-qualifications, and getting the attorney's on the same page. At Five Towns Miller Realty we’ll make sure to give you all that but leave the final decisions on price and sale to you. That’s why the experienced staff at Five Towns Miller Realty, Inc. has completed more transaction than any brokerage in the Five Towns area. Because we’re fair and we care. Visit us at www.fivetownsrealtor.com today!

Buying a house? Get pre-approved in advance!

The purchase of real estate is one of the most important transactions you will ever make. Of course that Financing is a crucial step in the buying process. One important thing to work on before you even start looking is your mortgage pre-approval. To be pre-approved means doing all the loan paperwork in advance. If you are pre-approved, than you have been fully screened by the lender and approved for a loan.

When you are pre-approved you’ll have more negotiating power. Most sellers will go with candidates that are pre-approved, since there's less risk that the deal will fall through. If a seller has two proposals and yours is pre-approved - you will have better chances to get the deal.

When you are pre-approved, it also means that you know your price range. You won’t get distracted with offers that are beyond your price range, and you won’t waste time on offers that are too low.

Remember that there is a big difference between being pre-approved and being pre-qualified. Many buyers don’t realize that pre-qualification is only a rough estimate of how money you will be able to borrow, when that happy day comes.If you have anymore questions about buying a house, go online to www.fivetownsrealtor.com. The experienced staff at Five Towns Miller Realty, Inc. has completed more transaction than any brokerage in the Five Towns area. So if you’re planning on buying or selling a property, give us a call and we’ll help you find that dream house of yours.

How much is my property worth?

There are a few ways to find out the approximate value of your home. The first way, and you can do this by yourself, is by looking around and comparing your property to other properties that were recently sold in your neighborhood. Just by reading the papers or by following the news, you can get a pretty good understanding of how much your property is worth. By doing this little research, you actually become a real estate agent! Comparative market analysis is an essential part of every agent's job.



A market evaluation will determine the value of homes in the neighborhood based on recent sales, but remember that a value of a home is also partly subjective. Presentation plays a great deal in property evaluation. Even mowing the lawn can eventually lead to a higher value. Any good agent will be able to glean the pertinent information from a market analysis and apply it to a particular property. If you are ready to play the agent part, a useful and accurate CMA tool awaits for you online through Five Towns Miller Realty.

And just so you know, thousands of families have bought or sold their home thanks to the hard work of the realtors at Five Towns Miller Realty.

The Truth About Foreclosures in Five Towns

One myth about foreclosures in Fives Town (Cedarhurst, Woodmere, North Woodmere, Woodsburgh, Lawrence, Hewlett) is that all foreclosures go for well below market value. With the popularity of foreclosed properties reaching ordinary home buying, many believe that foreclosed homes present a bargain, and that's just not always the case.

People believe that they can buy a foreclosed home for cheap, fix it up and then sell it for prices well above market and gain a profit. Some believe they can rent it and get instant equity.

Because foreclosed homes are saturated in today's market, the bidding process has marketed up these homes and banks are not dumb. They realize the real values of these properties and are beginning to not give them away for low prices. Especially in Cedarhurst, Woodmere, North Woodmere and Woodsburgh.

Most of these "bargain" foreclosed homes are in very bad condition and require some major work. After you purchase one of these homes and fix them up, you have basically paid way more than what the house was worth at market. So what about the homes that don't require fixing? Well, you'll be paying full price for those because the banks know how much they are worth and they will not sell them for cheap.

If you do your homework and work with a great Realtor, like Five Towns Miller Realty, you can get homes in those areas at reasonable prices. But don't expect an amazing deal to fall in your lap, there is always a catch. Especially in areas that are doing well. Unlike Las Vegas and other places whose housing bubble has popped and deflated beyond repair, areas where families and communities are still vibrant just don't have these "foreclosed prices" that people believe they do.

Don't be fooled again. If you are looking to do business in the communities of Cedarhurst,
Woodmere, North Woodmere, Woodsburgh, Lawrence, Hewlett and the eastern
end of Far Rockaway then visit Five Towns Miller Realty at http://www.fivetownsrealtor.com/.
