I know him as “The Money Manager who happens to live in the Ghetto”, or sometimes simply “the idiot who lost $500K on a $800K speculative investment”…
That cobble hill house sold for 20% more than it did 5 years ago, which doesn;t exactly seem like the sky fell on the seller’s head.
How about?:
“Proud HomOwner since 1959!”
By the way, the house in Fort Greene is covered in clapboard but Gabby referred to it as “brick”.
I guess the parking space is nice and grandfathered in since it wouldn’t be allowed today. I think that house has very little back garden and some less than stellar views.
My fear of that whole area of our neighborhood is that if someone has his way and puts up some big towers, there will be a lot of shade and down stream wind issues…and dust and crud during construction.
I’m glad they got (more-or-less) their price! It’s a relief (for me) frankly!
BrooklynGreene…I especially like that last one.
*Always An Owner, Never A Renter Be*
Tagline:
“Hope…half off”
Dave,
Since I worked in this at one time, here are my tagline suggestions…ugh…I can’t believe I’m engaging in this!:
“DaveInBedStuy, A Little Bit ‘o Bed, A Lot of Stuy…”
“Brownstones15%Off”
“***Bid 10% off current ask***”
“If you have to ask, you *don’t* know DAVE!”
…and the obvious:
“Condos, Down; Coops, Down; Brownstones…Priceless”
Dave–if you want to argue with BHO you are going to need a spiffy little tagline like his. Can’t you think of something and then paste it onto the end of every post you make?
“Biggest sales by definition reflect the last frontiers to fall.”
At least they represent reality as opposed to some “I hope everything will come off 50%” dream world.
