The Baumann Mazzeo Team 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.

About Syosset
Syosset is a hamlet (and a census-designated place) in Nassau County, New York, in the northeastern section of Town of Oyster Bay near the North Shore of Long Island. The population was 18,544 at the 2000 census. It is served by the Syosset railroad station, the Syosset Post Office, the Syosset Central School District, the Syosset Public Library, the Syosset Fire Department, and the Jericho Water District.
Commerce in Downtown Syosset essentially began in 1854, with the arrival of the Long Island Rail Road. Prior to the extension of the line to Cold Spring Harbor, Huntington, and Oyster Bay many years later, Syosset served as a transportation hub for farmers and businessmen throughout the surrounding area.
As a result, hotels, stage coach services, and businesses of all types sprang up around the railroad station, laying the groundwork for what eventually became the downtown shopping district.
Over the years, Syosset's retail district has expanded significantly, its "hot spots" constantly shifting as new restaurants open their doors and new retailers enter the mix. Still, the downtown area just north and south of the Long Island Rail Road crossing forms the heart of the community.
While today's business tenants are of a much different nature, the strip itself - and the area surrounding it - have always retained a certain charm for old-time residents and new ones, as well.
The sprawling hamlet of Syosset offers a highly regarded school district, as well as an array of shops, services, restaurants, professional businesses and houses of worship. There is also easy access to highways and the Long Island Rail Road. Groups including the Chamber of Commerce and Residents for a More Beautiful Syosset have been active in projects such as transforming an ill- kept area on Jackson Avenue into a garden. (For more information, visit the Web site www.syosset.org.) Other plans to enhance the downtown area include alleviating traffic and parking problems and making Jackson Avenue more pedestrian friendly. Neighborhoods feature diverse architectural styles - split-levels, capes, Colonials, ranch styles and some contemporaries that sit on neat properties varying from 60-by-100-foot lots to more than an acre. Prices generally range from $390,000 to more than $1 million. The name Syosset is believed to be derived from the Indian word suwasset, meaning "place in the pines." Arrowheads have been discovered in the area, where the Matinecock Indians probably hunted, according to historians. Although Syosset was part of Robert Williams' 1648 land purchase, it wasn't until the mid-1700s that a few Dutch families established a farming community. By 1824, a few businesses, including a small hotel, made up the community's core. The area began to percolate about 30 years later, when rail service arrived, attracting farmers who could access New York City's markets. A commercial district formed around the train station, and a post office was established in 1855. After World War II, farmers began to sell their land to developers. Today, residents can participate in annual community events such as the holiday lighting ceremony. Syosset- Woodbury Park provides swimming pools, a skating rink, playgrounds, tennis courts, sporting and picnic areas. And the Town of Oyster Bay public golf course is in nearby Woodbury. Syosset and Woodbury students attend the Syosset school district. There are two parochial schools in Syosset: St. Edward the Confessor, an elementary school, and Our Lady of Mercy Academy, a private Catholic secondary school for girls. From midtown Manhattan, it is about 30 miles to Syosset. |
