Robin Lynch's Q&A

Benito,I am not here to argue with you.  When a customer asks a question on Zillow they are here to get the most accurate information.  She asked if the property was still available and I told her it was pending as you saw in my answer.  It is public information and obviously she knew it was on the market, so she wanted to know the current status and that is what I provided to her.We as realtors are here to give that information in a cordial manner and not to be "short" with customers.  Robin LynchKeller Williams Realty Group

Hi jozefina,Benito, you are incorrect.  The most accurate information in regards to this property is as follows.According to the Westchester Putnam MLS, this property is currently pending as of 10/05/09 for a sale price of $344,900.  Are you looking for single family homes in Tarrytown?Robin LynchKeller Williams Realty Group

Hi Sublimus,Zillow takes the comparables from the surrounding area.  By looking at your profile, this included comparable sales in Yonkers.When a Realtor determines the value of your property, they look within your specific neighborhood.  Comparables include active, pending, conditional contract and sold listings within the last few months.  In this case, a Realtor's determination of the value of your property will be different and in some cases, lower than that of Zillow's.Robin LynchKeller Williams Realty Group

Hi amazin50,Where are you looking to buy this kind of property?Robin LynchKeller Williams Realty Group

Hi Anthony,I don't believe that this particular property is for sale.  We as realtors are not allowed to comment on schools.  It is against the Federal Fair Housing Law.  You can check out the following link to make your own determination regarding schools in this area:http://schools.nyc.gov/default.htmThe zip code is 10461.Robin LynchKeller Williams Realty Group

Hi amcscc,Actually the last known price for this property was $599,000 when it came off the market in December 2008.Robin LynchKeller Williams Realty Group

Hi budigins,Homes that are selling in the Castle Hill area at the moment are being sold as is.  In my opinion, I would not remodel it.  Buyers are looking for houses that they can remodel themselves to suit their tastes and also the Bronx is a "hot" market right now for investors.  Given that information, you can contact an agent to review comps and find the right price for your property.Robin LynchKeller Williams Realty Group
