Be Thankful

By Robin Shapiro

My brother-in-law says: “There are no do-overs in life. This is not a rehearsal!”  I’ve written about this before but on THANKSGIVING, it’s a good idea to take inventory of things to be grateful for. If you are trying to sell your home, then there is comfort in that the supply of homes in Rockaway remains relatively low. Prices in Rockaway may be down from their all-time highs, but they are still high by historical standards.

If you are trying to buy a home in Rockaway, then you can be thankful that prices here are attractive when compared with other areas of NYC.  The NY Times had an article not too long ago about a lady who researched all of NYC for the best value and was thrilled to discover Rockaway where she bought a property that she loved. I sold it to her, although the article didn’t mention me.

We should all be thankful that we live in Rockaway, a truly wonderful place. Be thankful if you and your family members have your health. As the actor Lee Strasberg said in “The Godfather”: “Good health is the MOST important thing.” There are no rehearsals. Wishing you all a happy and healthy THANKSGIVING. Call me. Love, Robin.
