About John Taylor                                              

My Client-First Philosophy

There are many qualities and skills that go into being an excellent real estate professional - integrity, in-depth community and market knowledge, marketing savvy, effective negotiation skills and a high-quality professional network, all of which are hallmarks of how I work.

That said, in my experience as a Miller Place real estate professional, I've also found that providing the very best service is essentially about putting my clients first. This means keeping myself accessible, being a good listener as well as a good communicator, and responding quickly to your needs.

This "client first" philosophy has always been my approach and it requires me to continually improve my skills and ways of doing business. In addition, I've found that the latest technologies are enabling me to do everything I've always done, only much more quickly and efficiently. They've also helped me to extend the range of services I provide to my clients.

So when you decide that you'd like to buy or sell a home in the Miller Place, Mt SinaiSmithtown areas, please contact me.

HOME DELIVERY

Residential Real Estate Trends, Issues and News for Consumers

The National Association of REALTORS distributes Home Delivery every month to real

estate, personal finance and consumer journalists as a resource for background or story ideas.

Single and Looking – For a Home

Studies show that women are more

financially and socially independent

than ever before, and that more than

half of all adult women live without

a partner. And for more and more

of these single women, it’s house

before spouse.

According to NAR’s 2007 Profile

of Home Buyers and Sellers,

released in November at the annual

REALTORS® Conference & Expo,

one-fourth of all recent first-time

home buyers were single women.

Single women also represented 20

percent of all home buyers, up 2

percent from 10 years ago.

In contrast, the percentage of single

men buying homes is decreasing.

Nine percent of all recent home

buyers were single men, compared

to 11 percent 10 years ago.

With more choices for investing

and saving, many women are

choosing homeownership as a way

of building wealth over the long

term.

Going Green Saves Green

According to NAR research, 65

percent of new home buyers see

their home’s energy efficiency as

an important consideration.

However, the initial cost of

“going green” is still a significant

factor in many people’s decisions

to purchase energy-efficient

home features.

Today’s green-savvy home

buyers and sellers have many

options. Sellers whose homes

meet the EPA energy efficiency

standard have a valuable

marketing point – EPA studies

show that these homes deliver

$200-$400 in savings on utility

bills per year.

Buyers can use green mortgages

that will help them make

environmentally friendly

improvements to their home. One

example is an FHA-insured

Energy Efficiency Mortgage

(EEM) offered by HUD – for

A Steady Pulse for Housing

Americans remain convinced that

buying a home is a good long-term

investment. Nearly nine out of 10

consumers believe that buying a

home is a good financial decision,

according to the 2007 National

Housing Pulse Survey, released

earlier this month.

The survey, which measures how

affordable housing issues affect

consumers, also shows that 59

percent of respondents think that now

is a good time to buy. That number is

even higher at 64 percent in areas

where home prices have recently

declined. For more information, visit:
