The Baumann Group brings you the best Buyer Agents to represent you when buying a home. To find out what a Buyers Agent is, and why you will want to use one, visit The New York State Buyers Broker Association website at; www.NYSBBA.com. According to The Realty Times, "In the majority of real estate transactions, buyers are better served working with an agent who represents JUST them, as is the case with a Buyer's Agent. That way, buyers have the peace of mind of knowing that a true agent-client relationship exists; they have the guarantee that any time they confide in their Buyer's Agent, their remarks remain confidential; and they can rest assured that someone is looking out for their interests (which has to be more comforting than knowing someone is just "being fair" to them)."
Services That Buyers’ Agents Offer to Their Clients: *Reliable advice and information is perhaps the key factor in making a "good decision". As a buyers agent, they will provide you info such as, but not necessarily limited to the following:
* The original purchase price of the house. * Evaluating improvements that the sellers may have made to the house. * Comparative market analysis for similar houses in the neighborhood. * The average closing help paid by sellers of other similar houses in the neighborhood. * The average drop from list price to sold price. * How many days the property has been on the market for sale. * The co-relation between tax assessed value and market value. * Introduction to reliable mortgage lenders, home inspectors, settlement attorneys etc. * You worry about finding the perfect house – they will help you take care of all the big and small details.

Plainview Info
Plainview and its neighboring hamlet, Old Bethpage, share a school system, library, fire department, and water district.
Plainview's history dates to 1648, when Robert Williams, a settler from Wales, bought land in the area. The land was considered desirable for farming because of a small pond named the Moscopas by local native Americans, meaning "hole of dirt and water". The remainder of the land in the area was purchased by Thomas Powell in 1695 as part of the Bethpage Purchase. The name "Mannatto Hill" had already appeared on the 1695 deed of the Bethpage Purchase, and the settlement came to be called "Manetto Hill". "Manitou" was the Native American word either for "god" or for "spirit".
The Plainview-Old Bethpage Central School District operates one high school, Plainview-Old Bethpage John F. Kennedy High School, two middle schools, Howard B. Mattlin [9] (named after a former president of the school board) [10] and Plainview-Old Bethpage Middle School, and four elementary schools Parkway (due to its proximity to the Northern State Parkway), Pasadena, Old Bethpage, and Stratford Road. There is also one Kindergarten Center, a school just for kindergarteners connected to Stratford Road Elementary School.
The Plainview Library was first established in 1956, in rented space in the Morton Village Shopping Center. Significant increases in population caused the library to outgrow this space. In March 1962, voters approved a $711,000 bond issue to pay for the purchase of a nearly three acre parcel of land and development of a new library building. Two years later, the library moved into its new facilities. Since its construction, the building has had two major expansions to better serve the community's needs, including increased audio/visual and internet demands. In 2008, the library was made eligible to receive financing from the New York State Dormitory Authority, furthering its ability to develop and modernize its facilities in the future. |
