When we represent you as the seller, we have a fiduciary responsibility to live up to your expectations. Since we have successfully marketed many properties on Fire Island over many years you will be able to trust our judgment. We will carefully review your property and work with you to set the terms of your sale and review all of the details prior to signing an agreement. You can be confident to have us represent you and your best interests. The process will go efficiently and end up to your total satisfaction.
If we represent you as a prospective purchaser, it is important to you that in selecting the appropriate property we carefully research and disclose any previous problems that may be associated with the prospective properties prior to your making an offer to purchase. Over the years, we have become very familiar with Fire Island properties and real estate issues in general and will be immensely informative. We will assist you in areas of finance, property taxes, zoning, closing information, property condition reports, obtaining certificates of occupancy or compliance, local laws and customs amongst a host of other items that may arise. As a buyer, you may not know what to ask. As your broker, it is our obligation to inform you as to what's in store for you in the near and distant future. An honest assessment before you buy is the best policy.
Whether you've decided to rent for an entire season, for a month or two weeks, we have many rentals for you to choose from. We can find a place that best suits your needs, and has the amenities you desire. Ask about rentals early for the best availability during the season.
After we've worked with you, we do not forget about you. We invite you to call us at any time when you need recommendations on where to purchase items on Fire Island or the mainland. If you need any renovations or improvements we can provide that also.
