Market Watch
Queens & Brooklyn: More homes are coming to market, giving buyers fresh opportunities. Sellers still benefit from strong demand.
Nassau County: Families are looking to settle before the holidays—perfect timing to list!
Tip of the Month: With kids back in school, now’s the time to declutter and prep your home for fall buyers.
Title & Closing Corner – Nest Abstract
Don’t forget title insurance! It protects your investment by ensuring your property is free of liens or ownership disputes. Contact Nest Abstract Services for smooth closings every time.
Community Spotlight – Cleaning & Decluttering
Team Garcia NYC recommends Ana Vasquez & Josefina Soto for decluttering and cleaning services before listing. A clean, staged home sells faster and for more.
