Blogroll
I thought it was tough enough trying to keep up with the housing market in Monmouth County but after a client recently asked about the validity of a web site called Lunar Registry , well, I had to wonder if she was a little spacey herself, literally.
The above web site is the Earth’s Leading Lunar Real Estate Agency and for the bargain price of $18.95, you can own an acre of land on the Moon.
Just like with the real estate on Earth, location, location, location will always come into play. A premium lot on the moon can go for as high as $32.00 an acre if you choose to be in the high end section known as “Bay of Rainbows.”
I guess with the recent discovery of a possible 10th planet right behind Pluto, it is not unusual that people are starting to look ahead.
Either way, I thought it was a cute idea and makes an interesting gift.
As for me, I’m light years away from getting my realtors license on the moon but can answer any questions you may have regarding Monmouth County real estate right here and now.

I would like to take a moment to wish all the men a very Happy Father’s Day.
Let’s honor not only dads but all men that have acted like a father figure in some capacity, whether it be a Stepdad, Uncle, Grandad or “Big Brothers”.
Thank You to all for making a difference.
We truly hope you enjoy your day!

As I was leaving New York City via the Lincoln Tunnel, I saw this huge quote painted on the side of a building.
Even though it was an advertisement for Charles Schwab, I felt it was thought provoking enough.
I have shown this picture to many and each person seems to have a different reaction.
What do you think? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Enjoy!

Vince Lombardi was quoted as saying “Winning Isn’t Everything but…Wanting to Win is”.
As a realtor, I work hard to ensure a smooth transaction for all my clients. I Want to score a home run and close every deal, however, some things are out of my control.
Take for example the case of my first time home buyers who were extremely excited to purchase their new home but unfortunately could not get a mortgage commitment from their first mortgage company as promised.
With 48 hours left on their deadline, what were we to do?????
In mythical times we would call upon Sir Lancelot, the greatest and most trusted knight of King Arthur’s round table to arrive upon his white horse and save the day.
In today’s modern age we call upon Nick Napoletano of Financial Resources to come riding in his black Mercedes and save the deal.
Nick was able to secure a mortgage commitment for our client within 24 hours , thus saving the deal and our sanity.
A June 20th closing date is now confirmed.
The Bandy Group is elated to have been introduced to the Financial Resources Family. We are inspired and energized by Nicks vision and determination and look forward to seeing those same attributes work on future clients behalf to bring them to the top.

An engagement ring is worn on the fourth finger of the left hand,
why you may ask????
Because it’s a tradition believed to be the finger that houses the vein that leads directly to the heart, better known as the (“Vein of Love”).
So when Michael Brenner of Marlboro wanted to propose to Laura Napoliello of Freehold, Michael came directly to Colts Neck New Jersey.
On Saturday May 3rd, Michael took Laura for a ride in her late father’s 1955 T-Bird.
Laura had no idea what was in store for her when they pulled into Illmensee Square, the development that was built by Laura’s grandfather.
Across the way, the Colts Neck Cafe housed 25 of Laura’s and Michael’s family members.
Thanks to blue-tooth technology everyone was able to hear Michael’s proposal.
A Fall 2009 wedding is planned.
Congratulations to the beautiful couple!!!

Colts Neck bids farewell to the Eder family.
After 10 years of enjoying the country life, Lois and Todd are now saying goodbye.
When I first placed their home for sale, I was extremely excited to show off the beauty that is 5 Meadows Run Drive, but last Saturday proved to be more difficult for me than for the homeowners.
As I walked through the empty rooms, my eyes welled up with tears. I recalled all the stories of how much they loved raising their family in this home.
I looked at their children’s rooms and thought of how quickly time passes by. They were now adults. A son in his third year of college and a daughter about to begin her college years over at the University of Rhode Island.
As the sun beamed against the spot where the sofa once rested, I could still picture Sebastian and Oliver, the family watch dogs, laying and basking in the warmth of the rays as they often did when I was showing the home.
An over abundance of love permeated each room and the only thing better than knowing that my clients were about to embark on a new chapter in their life was that the new homeowners had four young children who no doubt would come to fill this home with their own wonderful memories.
The boys from A Better Choice Moving were fantastic.
Not only did they do an amazing job but they had the tissue boxes on hand and a shoulder to cry on just in case.

Even if you are not a mother, sometimes you are a “Mother Figure” in someone’s life and I’m sure they feel blessed to have you around.
Wishing you All a FANTASTIC day!

By itself this picture might raise some eyebrows.
Now combine it with the fact that it was taken in Monmouth County New Jersey.
Propped on a farm on Route 537
Located in horse country known to many as Colts Neck.
Aha…..not so brow raising now, is it?
Enjoy!

Rotten Neighbors In Colts Neck???
April 30th, 2008 Categories: Buying Advice, My Favorites, Seller Secrets
In today’s age, there are web-sites dedicated to everything from finding love to confessing your biggest regrets. So it should come as little surprise that there is a web-site especially designed to warn potential home buyers of less than stellar neighbors in a particular neighborhood .
Perri K. Feldman, author of the NJRealEstateWire blog and fellow Keller Williams agent for the Summit New Jersey office wrote a post highlighting this particular site.
Rotten Neighbor.com reveals the quality of neighbors in towns across America.
Does the quality of neighbors affect todays home prices? Absolutely, suggest June Fletcher.
I have to admit that at first I found it quite comical but soon found myself addicted to the site.
The site contained comments on homes with just a few of the following Neighbors:
- Crazy Woman
- Junk Yard
- Hillbilly’s
- Puff puff…pills berry dough boy
In all fairness, there was a headline entitled AWESOME HOUSE, so it wasn’t all bad.
Check it out! See who is being a bad boy/girl in your backyard. Oh and by the way, I did check out my neighbors in Colts Neck. The coast is clear.

Hi! I'm Tyler.
I'm always sitting under my Mom's desk as she does her Real Estate work.
No one knows who I am so I thought I'd create this blog and introduce myself.
I am a 3 year old Pomeranian. I share my home with my sister Tinkerbell, who happens to be a 2 year old T.Cup Pomeranian.
T.Cup is just a fancy term for “midget”. Tinkerbell is 3lbs; full grown; I know, I know, how cute, right?
I live in Colts Neck New Jersey and my mom is Sarah Bandy, a Real Estate agent who works for Better Homes Realty, the Colts Neck office.
Please check in often as I will be blogging all about the upcoming news and life underneath my Mom's desk! Plus Sarah herself and some contributing writers will also be hanging around to talk Real Estate. Hope to hear from you soon.
BARK BARK!
