GREEN ROOF IN CHICAGO

There has been a lot of talk around the neigborhood about green roof space and roof top gardens.  I will be working with Len Maniaci and others to put together a green roof program in JH.  The blog will be focusing on green and sustainablity in Jackson Heights for this season.  JHBG/FRIENDS OF TRAVERS PARK received a grant for making JH more green.

EXCULSIVE in any market is discriminatory but one of the JH firms:   “Protesting as # 1 Jackson Heights’ EXCLUSIVE Brokers/Realtors” This egocentric firm thinks this is OK to advertise EXCLUSIVE!   Just to set the record straight on law…one of the largest RE Brokers in NYC, Corcoran Group has sent out a memo.  The Memo is about the use of discriminatory words.. over 200 “Dirty Words”, these are discriminating words for real estate professionals according to NY Department State, Licensing Division & Attorney General’s office. (click on the FYI to see video)   FYI Exclusive, Walking Distance, Family Friendly, etc.  article in the newspaper today. 

My firm Beaudoin Realty Group (BRG) practices as ”TRUSTED EXPERTS.”  We Treasure Jackson Height and hope one day others will Discover its’ cOmmunity & housing stock’s value.  Our repeat clients and customers understand we are here to benefit Jackson Heights Historic District and vicinity’s.  Our loyal patrons are owners and buyers, who keep being sent to us.  We are here as professional realtors; to protect, educate and assist our neighbors in acquiring afforadable housing with rich architecture.  We are  Multiple Listing Agents (MLS)  who share our real estate listings with more than 500 offices from LIC to Montauk & Orient Point. We are a cooperating office of professional Realtors.  We as MLS personelle have more chances to make a transaction happen for our clients and customers.  During these hard times we are riding the wave to keep Jackson Heights an active historic community. 

Recently, on NY 1 there was an interview with agents from Long Island City . (Click on Long Island City)  LIC has overbuilt new construction type of housing stock.  As a result there are many empty spaces with lots of incentives given by the builders.   

 Queens Small Businesses met yesterday to discuss the challenges for the next year.  Bill Thompson, City of NY Comptroller was the key notespeaker who addressed the challenges for small businesses.

If you have a job feel lucky, if you have not lost all your money feel lucky and good luck in this hard economic downturn.  As my Mom always told me: “This will shall pass too!” 

FORTUNE MAGAZINE & CNN   talk about the tax credit if you are a first time home buyer!  $8000 credit before December 2009.

Everyday the world of finance is changing.

Obama’s Plan

Vanity Fair Article

WOW were are we going with the Real Estate Market?  Does nationalizing help or hurt?

NOW  This is one of the most amazing realizations of what is going on with Wall Street!

 This week, David Brancaccio sits down with financial reporter Bethany McLean —who broke the Enron story —to look at options on the table for stabilizing the country’s financial system. Is nationalizing our banks a viable solution?

Well it has been a little more than a week and our new president seems to be working at lightning speed. President Obama seems to have a real person approach to politics. He much more articulate and transparent than our last president!

Stimulus plan seems to be on the right track… Hopefully it will free up the credit market and put us back on track for all business.

NY One has put out a short film about our neighborhood.  Jackson Heights has more attributes than just another Historic District in NYC.  According to this film, it is considered a great place to raise a family.  Our homes include spacious apartments and houses large enough to accommodate a family comfortably.  Our neighborhood is more ethnically mixed than they express in this short. 

I think everyone in NYC is being affected by real estate prices and the economic downturn.    In my professional opinion the Real Estate prices in JH have dropped by about 10% since its high in 2006.  Compared to other parts of NYC and the country JH is in a better position.  There are several reasons why we are holding our values:  Jackson Heights has  little or no new construction, and the housing stock is architecturally rich.   Other locations in NYC with similar housing stock to JH are double, if not triple the price.

During this economic struggle, BeaudoinRealtyGroup realizes that everyone is nervous about purchasing anything especially Real Estate.  2009 is the time to buy in JH because the location is excellent and convenient.  In Real Estate you purchase location, location, location.  Speaking for myself as a member of the JH community, who owns a business and condo in JH…Yes, we are holding our own!

The JH community welcomes newcomers to join our lovely Garden Community.  Take a look at the film click photo below. It is nice to see Jackson Heights is in the limelight!
