The problem is that the young, hip crowd in question is made up mostly of young, hip drug dealers. That’s not going to help anyone.
The ditmas house is very pretty,. I wish we could see interior details for the other ditmas house. I think all these houses have interesting aspects. For the money I think Putnam and Ocean are probably the best buys. Both areas are getting better and better. The Ocean Ave house is right near the ice skating rink. That street is really starting to attract a young, hip crowd. Prices will probably soon reflect this.
whooah … blogging on overdrive. i’m exhausted.
The difference between Corcoran and other smaller agency is that Corcoran makes you sign an exclusive at a much Higher % then other agency, and most times they end up-co-broking with the smaller agency like Mary Kay, because she has the customers looking to buy in the area and Corcoran does not!!!
I happen to know that Mary Kay does co-broke. I was bidding on the Stratford Road house that Mary Kay has in PPS, that is currently “in Contract”, and I lost out on it and I was told by Mary Kay that this deal is a co-broke..
So I guess 1:46 was wrong.
Just a little side note on most deals whether it’s Corcoran, or any other agency when the deal is “in contract†or once it closes, we generally have no idea if it was a co-broke or not!!!
Webster,
RE: your question about “K-Dog”, it’s K-Dog & Dunebuggy, a cafe on Lincoln Road, near the Prospect Park subway station.The name refers to the nicknames of the owners’ two small children. K-Dog HAS become a sort of epicenter of PLG events. It has different art shows every month, “AN Inconvenient Truth” was screened there several weeks ago, PLG Arts had it’s first Poetry Night there last Wed.,and so on.
I can’t believe I wasted so much time reading this stupidity! I really need to get a life.
Hi all. I have an on-topic question or two for PLG folks here.
I have noticed various PLG events mentioned here and there, and they all seem to be at a place called “K-Dog.”
So, what is K-Dog, and is there any special significance in the name?
To an outsider, it seems to be the epicenter of all events happening in PLG, the one place that’s ever mentioned all the time, so I figured I’d ask now that we have a PLG-related thread.
Just curious.
Thanks
Apparently the people who originally built the house had a fascination with brick walls, and had windows put in this side of their house specifically so that they would have an extreme close up view of the brick wall of an 85 unit elevator coop. So, indeed, CHP was not overreacting in the least. In fact, it was quite gracious of her not to find fault with those windows that face parks, trees and distant horizons.
The Ocean Ave property is really charming and for what I can see, very attractively priced. (I can see how you would have to be careful with garbage there re wildlife from the park) – I agree that it is these kinds of places which make you love Brooklyn. I like the large Ditmas Park House too (lots of very careful painting – a little too much for me) but it looks beautiful. The Putnam place looks pretty too, though not much curb appeal. I also lament the loss of the free info on Property Shark. I am really impressed with them over there though for creating an amazing product and an excellent business strategy. They created a great engine, hooked you, then have been gradually charging for the features. Unfortuately, after spending all my money on the building, I have to learn how to get all that off ACRIS.
