Design Tips for First-Time Buyers in Queens at Brownstoner's Home Events Series

The most affordable way to do renovations in a new home?

Painting!

“A fresh coat of paint helps old walls look new again,” said Kristen Chuber, senior director of marketing at Paintzen. “It’ll help you really feel like you are moving into a space that is all fresh and clean, just for you!”

Chuber will be speaking at “What First-Time Home Buyers Need to Know,” with a focus on Long Island City and Astoria — and will share the most used and most requested paint colors in Queens.

Find out other things you need to know — whether you’re moving into new construction or a resale, an apartment or a house — from a panel of experts at the next evening in the Brownstoner Home Events series. The event takes place on Tuesday, March 26, from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Plaxall Gallery at 5-25 46th Avenue in Long Island City, Queens.

Gotham Insurance will be represented and will explain the intricacies of homeowner insurance — what is covered and what is not.

Also present will be Eric Benaim, CEO of real estate brokerage Modern Spaces, which will be marketing 2,100 new-construction condos coming to market in the next three years. And Ryan Walsh from Ryan Walsh Law will explain the legalese that new buyers need to be aware of.

There will be drinks and snacks, and the event is free to the next 25 people who RSVP here.

Tickets are $10 in advance and $15 at the door.

Sponsors for first event are Modern Spaces, Paintzen, Ryan Walsh Law and Gotham Insurance. To learn about hosting and sponsorship opportunities for Brownstoner Home Events, please get in touch here.
