How We Sometimes Operate like a Concierge Service

Concierge Services aren’t just for hotels. This is a white-glove level of service designed to prompt next-level customer loyalty. And that’s how Houlihan & O’Malley operates on many occasions. Primarily, clients view a concierge as a trusted advisor — even in Real Estate, someone who can make recommendations or suggestions about who to use for new windows, plumbing issues, getting a dumpster, or just something as simple as who to call for a small paint job.

A Real Estate Concierge assists clients by performing various tasks such as:

  • Picking up mail for the owners while out of town
  • Turning the lights on and off (before & after showings)
  • Turning the alarm off and on (before & after showings)
  • Commissioning handyman services
  • Coordinating repairs with the appropriate service people; Locating hard-to-find trades people — Locksmiths, Stain Glass Repair, etc.
  • House Cleaning Services
  • Landscapers/Lawn Services
  • Organization/De-cluttering
  • Decorating Help
  • Staging

These services are extremely invaluable to a homeowner.

Even something as simple as getting your house documents that are on file in your town building department. Before we meet our clients, we go to the building department to obtain all the paperwork on the house — checking for closed & open permits, Certificate of Occupancy (CO), etc.  We have great relationships with many of the local building departments, whereas most individuals do not even know where to go.

That is what concierge services are all about. If we can’t do it, we’ll find someone who can.

Houlihan & O’Malley Real Estate Services has been around for 30+ years-we are a small boutique agency, family owned and operated with local talent and commitment to all!

Talking Real Estate

2020 will go into the record books as a notable real estate year in the Bronxville PO section of Yonkers.

2019 Volume of Transactions for the 12 month period: 40 home sales

Year to date 2020 (Dec 5) Volume of Transactions: 60 home sales

What the above stats do not include are the other 20 homes that are in contract as of this writing! 2020 has been a delightful and distinctive break from the downturn that we witnessed in the two previous years. The volume of transactions is the most significant marker that has turned around, but median price has made a nice surge forward to $750,000 from the 2019 median of $698,750. We still have work to do to move that number back up to the $800,000 range where we sat from 2014 to 2017. However, recoveries always start with volume and then move to price so we are headed in the right direction.

In my last market update, I talked about the robust summer market and noted that September market activity seemed to have quieted. That was in fact the case with only four contracts signed that month. However, October activity picked up substantially with eight signed contracts, and November followed with a very nice seven additional contracts.

The $1 million plus market has had an excellent rebound from 2019. Year to date we have seven closed sales and, more remarkably, of the 20 homes currently in contract, seven of them are in the $1 million plus category.  Some of those contracts won’t be closed by year end, but the improvement is noteworthy nonetheless.

The overall feel of the market is a positive one. Of course, the pandemic is still with us, but positive news of coming vaccines provides a somewhat distant light at the end of the tunnel. My prediction for 2021 is for us to continue to have good volume of sales activity and gradually increasing prices.

HOULIHAN & O’MALLEY OCTOBER ‘20 ACTIVITY

October was a very busy month in the Westchester County real estate market and for the Houlihan & O’Malley team!  We helped several clients with selling, renting and buying real homes during the month and we are ready to help you!  Contact us to see how we can help and learn why so many people choose us to help with their real estate needs!

Joe’s Corner – Houlihan & O’Malley Real Estate, Owner/Broker

Sell Your Home with Houlihan & O'Malley

Joe HoulihanSELLERS: Anticipate the ‘Title Search’ before you put your house on the market.

The Title Search is one of the last steps that happens in the home buying process. You may ask what exactly is a Title Search?

The buyer’s attorney will ‘order title’ after the buyer has received the mortgage commitment from their lender. What this actually means is the buyer is buying an insurance policy – a ‘title’ insurance policy. The insurance company is insuring that there are no liens, encumbrances or other ‘clouds’ on the legal title of the property. The most common item that comes up are old mortgages whose payoff was not properly recorded.

Other typical items that come up are permits for work done on the home that were not closed in the town building department. Encroachments of a neighbors’ fence onto the property is another typical issue that can arise. More serious things are decks or sheds that the homeowner never got a permit to build. These problems can really delay a closing because the title report is not ordered until late in the purchase process.

I always visit the building department before I list a property to head off some of these exact issues. Just recently I found an issue with a plumbing permit and an electrical permit in my Sellers property file at town hall.  In the file, at the building department, both of these permits were closed. However, on the towns digital system, they both showed as open.  I sent the documentation I copied from the building department to the plumbing and electrical inspectors asking them to close the respective permit in the system — and they did. A potential crisis averted!
