THIS HOME ANCHORED IN A LOVELY SETTING IN SOUND BEACH WAS PURCHASED BY A YOUNG, FIRST TIME HOME BUYER. THE HOME WAS RENOVATED VERY NICELY AND QUALIFIED AS THE IDEAL FIRST HOME TO BUILD EQUITY. THIS PARTICULAR CLIENT, INVESTOR WAS VERY INTELLIGENT AND INCREDIBLY LIKABLE. THIS IS DEFINITELY ONE OF THE FONDEST MEMORIES, EXPERIENCES SCOTT HAS HAD SINCE 2007. ASSISTING A NICE YOUNG GENTLEMAN SECURE HIS FIRST INVESTMENT LEFT SCOTT FEELING OVERJOYED AND DOES TO THIS DAY. QUITE FRANKLY, SCOTT DIDN'T BELIEVE THAT HE WOULD BE ABLE TO LOCATE A HOME FOR HIS CLIENT AS THE INVESTMENT COST BUDGET WAS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT. {BUT THROUGH HARD WORK SCOTT GOT IT DONE.}
DID YOU KNOW THAT THE FOUNDER OF KENTUCKY FRIED CHICKEN HAD HIS RECIPE TURNED DOWN OVER A THOUSAND TIMES BEFORE GETTING A YES? ''FAILURE IS ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL TO SUCCESS. YOU CAN'T HAVE ONE WITHOUT THE OTHER.'' {THIS HOME CLOSED ON 4/1/2021 FOR $237,000.} #21 DEER DRIVE. SOUND BEACH, 11789.
THIS NOW RENOVATED HOME IN BELLPORT VILLAGE SOUTH WAS IN NEED OF TREMENDOUS HELP WITH REGARD TO FREEING THE LARGER SIZED HOME OF COUNTLESS BOXES, CLOTHES, TOOLS, FURNITURE ETC. SCOTT AND HIS PARTNERS DID THE IMPOSSIBLE AND ELIMINATED ENORMOUS STRESS ON THE SELLER BY IMPLEMENTING A SCOPE OF WORK THAT RESULTED IN THE HOME BEING NEAR SQUEAKY CLEAN AFTER TREMENDOUS HOURS AND COUNTLESS DUMPSTERS.
IN ADDITION, THEY HANDLED THE STAGING PROCESS AS WELL.
{PLEASE SEE LETTER FROM SCOTT'S CLIENT ABOVE} AS SHE WAS OVERJOYED WITH SCOTT'S EFFORTS AND RESULTS. MANY NIGHTS THERE AT 2:00 IN THE MORNING.
SCOTT HAS EXTREMELY FOND MEMORIES OF THIS PARTICULAR DEAL AS HE HELPED A CLIENT DURING AN INCREDIBLY TOUGH TIME. HE WAS THERE FOR HER AROUND THE CLOCK BOTH FROM A WORK STANDPOINT AND FOR EMOTIONAL SUPPORT DURING HER INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT TIME.
WHEN A PIPE BURST DURING THE COLD WINTER, THE WATER MADE ITS WAY UNDER THE GARAGE DOOR TO THE ENTIRE LARGE DRIVEWAY RESULTING IN ICE THAT VARIED FROM 2'' TO 5'' THICK. SCOTT AND HIS PARTNERS MANAGED TO FREE THE ENTIRE DRIVEWAY OF THE ICE WHICH WAS SO INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS AND NOT USABLE. SCOTT'S CLIENT KNEW SHE COULD COUNT ON HIM.
THEN, SCOTT NEGOTIATED THE SALE OF THE HOME FOR A VERY SOLID NUMBER AND TERMS IN QUICK FASHION, ELIMINATING HIS CLIENT OF SUCH AN ENORMOUS AND TRYING TIME.
ON ANOTHER POSITIVE NOTE, ONE OF THE INVESTORS, BUYER'S WAS A FOUNDING PARTNER FOR ONE OF THE MOST FAMOUS CLOTHING LINES IN THE WORLD.
THIS BOLSTERED EAST PATCHOGUE SOUTH GEM SOLD IN NOVEMBER OF 2022. NOT SURPRISINGLY THIS SHINING GEM EARNED MULTIPLE OFFERS. ONE OF WHICH WAS FAR ABOVE THE ASK PRICE, QUITE ACCELERATED TO SAY THE LEAST. {THE HOME IS LOCATED AT 245 UNION AVE. EAST PATCHOGUE, 11772.}
SCOTT AND HIS PARTNERS APPRAISED THE POTENTIAL SCOPE OF WORK OR GRAND PLAN AND DECIDED THAT WITH THE SURROUNDING BORROWED SCENERY COUPLED WITH THE FARM-LIKE FEEL AND BEAMS THAT ''THE FARMHOUSE'' WOULD BE THE ANNOUNCED END RESULT.
AN EXTENSIVE SCOPE OF WORK WAS UNDERWAY AND TOOK MANY MONTHS TO REVAMP THE PROPERTY AND HOME. THE CLIENT'S WERE OVERJOYED WITH THE END RESULT. IN FACT, THEY ACTUALLY CONSIDERED KEEPING THE HOME AFTER SCOTT'S ATTAINED VISION WAS WITNESSED.
IN SHORT ORDER THE HOME WAS SOLD TO A COUPLE FROM NEW YORK CITY AND ALL PARTIES INVOLVED TRIUMPHED. IT WAS TRULY A SECURED MEMORY AND JOYOUS TIME FOR ALL THAT WERE INVOLVED.
THE SELLER'S WERE QUITE FIRM, {WHILE NOT ENTIRELY} TO LOCATE AN INVESTOR[S] WHO WANTED TO PURCHASE THE PROPERTY AND CALL IT THEIR HOME. THIS PROPERTY WAS VERY NEAR AND DEAR TO THEM AND THEY HAD A STRONG ATTRACTION TO A FAMILY MOVING IN AND CALLING IT HOME. OF COURSE IF WE SECURED A QUALIFIED CONTRACTOR THAT PLANNED ON MAKING IT AN INVESTMENT THAT WOULD BE FINE AS WELL.
SCOTT WAS IN THE OFFICE ON A SUNDAY WHEN UNBEKNOWNST TO HIM THAT DESIRED FAMILY CALLED THE OFFICE ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR LISTED PROPERTY. SCOTT KNEW THE SECOND HE MET THEM THAT THEY WOULD BE THE FAMILY THAT WOULD MAKE THE PROPERTY THEIR HOME.
OF COURSE EVERYONE WAS ENRICHED BY THE RESULTS. AND THE FAMILY THAT DID MAKE THIS LISTED PROPERTY THEIR HOME ARE WITHOUT QUESTION ONE OF THE FINEST GROUPS OF PEOPLE SCOTT HAS EVER MET.
SINCE THE PURCHASE OF THEIR VERY INTELLIGENT INVESTMENT, THEY HAVE ENHANCED THE HOME, PROPERTY TO BOTH MAGNIFICENT STANDARDS AND THEIR RETURN ON INVESTMENT NUMBER HAS ACCELERATED TO A VERY ENRICHED NUMBER.
IN ADDITION, THE AGENT THAT ORIGINALLY HAD THIS LISTED PROPERTY AND SCOTT WORKED WITH FOR MANY YEARS, VERY SADLY PASSED AWAY IN THE SAME TIME FRAME FURTHER ADDING A LOT OF EMOTION. THE NEW LISTING BROKER VIEWED SCOTT'S {NOT REQUESTED HELP} IN SELLING THE PROPERTY FOR HIM WHILE HE WAS AWAY WITH OBVIOUS APPRECIATION AND ANNOUNCED TO SCOTT THAT HE WOULD BE GIVING HIM FULL MONEY FOR HIS ROLE. SOMETHING THAT BASICALLY 100% OF REAL ESTATE PROFESSIONALS WOULD NEVER GRANT.
THIS STORY TRULY ANNOUNCED TO SCOTT THAT GOOD THINGS HAPPEN TO GOOD PEOPLE AS ALL THAT WERE INVOLVED WERE JUST THAT. BUYER'S, SELLER'S ETC!
EXTREMELY RARE PROPERTY. {FEATURES BOTH WATERFRONT AND WATERVIEW.} INTOXICATING, SWEEPING VIEWS OF THE BAY AND FAMOUS FIRE ISLAND. ON A CLEAR DAY ONE CAN SEE THE WAVES BREAKING ON THE OCEAN FROM THE BALCONY. THE SHEER RARE NATURE OF THIS STUNNINGLY BEAUTIFUL LANDSCAPE NEVER GETS OLD.
SCOTT P. HOFMO WAS THE LISTING AGENT FOR THIS TRANSACTION. PURCHASE PRICE WAS $940,000 AND CLOSED 12/8/2021. #3 LINDNER COURT. BROOKHAVEN, 11719.
AFTER CHOREOGRAPHING A MARKETING PLAN, SCOTT COMMENCED WITH THE LARGE BASEMENT AND GARAGE CLEANOUT {AS ILLUMINATED IN THE IMAGES.} AFTER MANY MORE DETAILS, THE HOME WAS LISTED ON THE OPEN MARKET. IN SHORT ORDER THE HOME WAS IN CONTRACT ELIMINATING A TREMENDOUS STRESS ON THE SELLER.
REAL ESTATE IS MUCH MORE THAN HAVING THE RESPONSIVE INSTINCT TO SELL A FORMULATED PRODUCT. IT'S HAVING EMPATHY, THE ABILITY TO BE SELFLESS, OFFERING A WIDE RANGE OF HOME AND PROPERTY SERVICES, LISTENING, PATIENCE AND HAVING QUALIFIED PERSONNEL TO ADDRESS VERY RELEVANT ELEMENTS WITHIN THE REAL PROPERTY PROCUREMENT PROCESS.
THE HISTORY OF THIS KNOWN REAL PROPERTY IS VALIDATED IN SEVERAL BOOKS AND PUBLICATIONS. THE INVESTORS, BUYER'S, HAVE PURCHASED OTHER REAL ESTATE FROM SCOTT AND YOU HAVE HEARD THE NAME.
SCOTT IS ENRICHED GREATLY ON AN EMOTIONAL LEVEL AS THIS WAS QUITE A BOOSTED EXPERIENCE IN SO MANY POSITIVE WAYS AS ONE WOULD IMAGINE.
NOT ONLY WAS THE RENOVATION ABSOLUTELY EXQUISITE, BUT NOT A PENNY WAS SPARED AND IT SHOWED, WAS SHINING!
HOW BOLSTERED WAS THIS RENOVATED HOME? ONLY TWICE HAS SCOTT SHOWN A POTENTIAL BUYER A HOME AND THEY WANTED TO SEE NO OTHER. ''SOLD.'' THIS GEM WAS ONE OF THOSE TWO!
WITH SCOTT'S EFFORTS, DEVELOPED APPROACH, HE MADE THE SELLER'S A $50,000 RETURN ON INVESTMENT WITH THE SELLER'S ONLY ABSORBING A $1,000 INVESTMENT IN PAINT, ETC. AND THIS HUGE PROFIT WAS OBTAINED IN JUST A FEW SHORT MONTHS.
THE STUNNING LISTING THAT SCOTT EARNED ON NORTH WILLIAM STREET. EAST PATCHOGUE, 11772.
IT'S A VERY FOND MEMORY FOR SCOTT AS THE PRIDE IN OWNERSHIP WAS PROJECTED, ACTUALLY ACCELERATED TO SUCH HIGH STANDARDS THAT IT WAS HARD TO BELIEVE. SO MUCH SO THAT WHEN THE INSPECTION WAS DONE BY TWO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING NEGATIVE TO WRITE IN THEIR REPORT. ANYONE EVEN REMOTELY CONNECTED TO REAL ESTATE KNOWS THAT MAY HAPPEN ONCE IN A FIFTY PLUS CAREER.
DURING THE PROCUREMENT PROCESS OF THIS SALE, SCOTT FOUND A SOLID INVESTMENT FOR HIS CLIENTS IN BELLPORT VILLAGE. THE VERY PLACE THAT THEY WANTED TO BE FOR QUITE SOME TIME.
SCOTT BECAME VERY CLOSE WITH S AND K AS TIME WENT ON. DINERS, WATCHING THEIR HOME WHILE ON VACATION. THEY'RE FRIENDS TO THIS DAY! {BELOW IS THEIR SOLID BELLPORT VILLAGE INVESTMENT.}
IN THIS BALANCED INVESTMENT, THE LISTED PURCHASE CONSISTED OF EIGHT, TEN, TWELVE AND FOURTEEN BELLPORT LANE.
MORE SPECIFICALLY, NUMBER EIGHT BEING A BELLPORT VILLAGE FAVORITE, CARLA MARLA'S ICE CREAM PARLOR. IN ADDITION THE PURCHASE OBTAINED TWO GOOD SIZED STOREFRONTS AND A GENEROUS APARTMENT UPSTAIRS. A GOOD SIZED BASEMENT AND BACK DECK WITH AMPLE YARD SPACE ONLY BOOSTED THE PACKAGE INVESTMENT. {SCOTT SOLD THIS SOLID INVESTMENT TO ONE HIS VERY RELEVANT REAL ESTATE INVESTORS.}
THE HOME MAKES SCOTT'S MOST MEMORABLE HISTORY LIST- AS THE MAN THAT TAUGHT SCOTT SO VERY MUCH BEFORE HE EVEN OBTAINED HIS NYS REAL ESTATE LICENSE, HIS NEPHEW INVESTED IN THIS HOME WHERE SCOTT WAS THE LISTING AGENT SOME YEARS LATER.
IN ADDITION, HE SOLD TWO HOME'S FOR THE SAME CLIENT. {PLEASE SEE IMAGE BELOW AND LETTER.}
LOCATED ON LOCUST ROAD {IN STUNNING BROOKHAVEN HAMLET} THE PROJECT WAS PURCHASED BY TWO ARCHITECTS THAT BROUGHT THIS GEM BACK TO ITS ORIGINAL SPLENDOR.
WITHOUT QUESTION, THIS PARTICULAR LISTED PROPERTY IS ONE OF SCOTT'S FONDEST MEMORIES AS THE HOME SOLD FOR $50,000 OVER THE LISTED ASK OR INVESTMENT COST. THIS IS A MAJOR, BOOSTED, NUMBER WHEN ONE REALIZES THAT THE ASK WAS UNDER $399,000.
SCOTT IS VERY PROUD OF THE PRICE HE OBTAINED FOR THIS LISTED OPPORTUNITY AS HE WAS THE LISTING AGENT. HE ALSO ASSISTED THE INVESTORS AS THEIR AGENT WAS OUT OF TOWN. IN ADDITION, IT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO SCOTT IN PRESERVING BOTH HISTORIC AND OLD, KNOWN, HOME'S.
IT WAS A WONDERFUL FEELING FOR SCOTT TO OBTAIN A QUALIFIED INVESTOR AND SELL THE HOME FOR THE CHURCH WHICH ASSIGNED MUCH COMFORT AND SECURITY FOR THEM AS THIS WAS SOLD BY SCOTT FOR VERY CLOSE TO A MILLION DOLLARS. THE PASTOR THEN RELOCATED IN THE VILLAGE TO A MUCH LOWER PRICED, SMALLER HOME.
IN ADDITION, THE GENTLEMAN THAT INVESTED IN THIS HOME IS A KNOWN FIGURE IN THE ARCHITECTURE AND HOME DECOR ARENA. THE HOME AND PROPERTY WAS TRANSFORMED INTO A STUNNINGLY BEAUTIFUL RESIDENCE.
THE HARVARD EDUCATED ARCHITECT IS BEYOND TALENTED AND USED HIS GIFT TO TRANSFORM THIS HOME AND PROPERTY INTO A MASTERPIECE THAT ONE WOULD HAVE TO WITNESS THE SCOPE OF WORK IN PERSON TO TRULY ABSORB THE NEARLY UNPRECEDENTED TRANSFORMATION. THE HOME IS LOCATED IN THE VILLAGE OF BELLPORT.
