About Coney Island

October 18, 2009
On our way back from visiting my son Eric, during last weekend’s Family Weekend, up at Arcadia University (http://www.arcadia.edu/), my daughter and I visited Coney Island on Sunday afternoon. I was driving home on the belt parkway and my daughter and I decided to stop and check out Coney Island. My daughter heard of it but was never there, which is a shame since we had a great time and plan on going back in the spring time, when the Cyclone is open. You can check out their website for hours of operation and what’s happening there at http://www.coneyisland.com/.

Their last day of operation for most of their rides was on Columbus Day, the day after we stopped by. Although the Cyclone was closed since September 20th, as so was the Thunderbolt and Super Shot, we rode the Wonder Wheel, the Spook-A-Rama and Liz had a blast on the Bumper Cars. After the rides we took a walk along their famous Boardwalk and the beach. Although it was late in the season, there we still a lot of people enjoying Coney Island, but it still seemed that we had the whole place to ourselves.
After the beach, we stopped by Nathans Famous for some Hotdogs and Cheese Fries. (Who could resist) We found some tables to have our meal and had to share some with the flock of seagulls that was watching us, especially Lefty, who only had one right leg and was hopping on the boardwalk looking for food.
From the top of the Wonder Wheel, we got a great view of the new Cyclone Ball field, and it looks like a really nice stadium. Come springtime, I’m taking the kids back to Coney Island for some rides and a ballgame. (Cyclone^2 LOL)

About Listing Agreements

October 8, 2009 by acerealty

The common top three listing agreement choices are explained below. The best choice for you will depend on your willingness and ability to tackle some of the home selling duties and the local real estate market climate.

Open Listing
An open listing lets an owner sell her home by herself. It is a non-exclusive agreement, meaning the owner may execute open listings with more than one real estate broker and pay only the broker who brings an able buyer whose offer the owner accepts.
Exclusive Agency Listing
An exclusive agency listing is similar to an open listing except the major difference is the agent will represent the owner. The owner still reserves the right to sell the property herself and not pay a commission. The broker is free to cooperate with another brokerage, meaning the second brokerage could bring an able buyer whose offer the owner accepts. Typically, the broker is paid a listing commission that is shared selling broker, so the owner pays both fees.
Exclusive Right-to-Sell Listing
An exclusive right-to-sell listing is the most commonly utilized instrument. It gives the broker the exclusive right to earn a commission by representing the owner and bringing a buyer, either through another brokerage or directly. The owner pays both the listing and selling broker fees. The owner cannot sell the property herself without paying a commission, unless an exception is noted in the contract.
