The Baumann Group brings you the best Buyer Agents to represent you when buying a home. To find out what a Buyers Agent is, and why you will want to use one, visit The New York State Buyers Broker Association website at; www.NYSBBA.com. According to The Realty Times, "In the majority of real estate transactions, buyers are better served working with an agent who represents JUST them, as is the case with a Buyer's Agent. That way, buyers have the peace of mind of knowing that a true agent-client relationship exists; they have the guarantee that any time they confide in their Buyer's Agent, their remarks remain confidential; and they can rest assured that someone is looking out for their interests (which has to be more comforting than knowing someone is just "being fair" to them)."
Services That Buyers’ Agents Offer to Their Clients:
*Reliable advice and information is perhaps the key factor in making a "good decision". As a buyers agent, they will provide you info such as, but not necessarily limited to the following:
* The original purchase price of the house.
* Evaluating improvements that the sellers may have made to the house.
* Comparative market analysis for similar houses in the neighborhood.
* The average closing help paid by sellers of other similar houses in the neighborhood.
* The average drop from list price to sold price.
* How many days the property has been on the market for sale.
* The co-relation between tax assessed value and market value.

About Garden City
Garden City is a village in the Town of Hempstead in central Nassau County, New York, in the United States. It was founded by multi-millionaire Alexander Turney Stewart in 1869, and is located on Long Island, to the east of New York City, 18.5 miles (29.8 km) from mid-town Manhattan, and just south of the Town of North Hempstead. A very small section of the village is in the Town of North Hempstead.[1]
The Garden City name is also applied to unincorporated areas in the region such as Garden City South, Garden City Park and East Garden City. Roosevelt Field, the current shopping center and former airfield from which Charles Lindbergh took off on his landmark 1927 flight, is located in East Garden City.
Garden City has 4 property owner associations. They are the:
Estates Property Owners’ Association: www.gcestates.org
Western Property Owners’ Association: www.gcwpoa.com
Eastern Property Owners’ Association Inc.: www.gcepoa.org
Central Property Owners’ Association : www.gccpoa.org
What is the Property Owners’ Association of Garden City Estates, Inc.?
We actually need to give you a little history to explain. The Village of Garden City is an incorporated village in the State of New York. During the early years of its establishment, the Village was actually made up of three separate communities – “Old Garden City” (now known as the Central section), Garden City Estates and Garden City East. In order to provide for a more uniform system of the provision of services, these three communities decided to incorporate the Village formally, which occurred in July 1919.
The POA of Garden City Estates, Inc. is the remnant of the original Garden City Estates community governing body. Each of the 4 sections of the Village (Estates, Central, Eastern and Western) has a POA. We are a private organization.
The POAs and the Community Agreement
The three original communities agreed, along with the later addition of the “West’ section, to what is called the “Community Agreement”. While not legally binding, the Community Agreement provides that each of the 4 sections of the Village will nominate for election by the Village residents 2 persons to the Village’s Board of Trustees for a total of 8 persons (the Mayor position is technically not a Trustee position but actually its own office). Each of the POAs has agreed, by the terms of the Community Agreement, to support the nominees of the other 3 property owner’s associations for Village Trustee (a similar arrangement is in place for School Board Trustee positions). The primary purposes of the Community Agreement were to avoid partisan politics in elections of Village officials, to foster community among the 4 POA groups and to retain equality of services and costs for each of the sections regardless of the number of residents within each section.
During 1869, New York City merchant millionaire Alexander Turney Stewart set out to create a place that embodied his ideals, his wisdom and his wealth. The widely known business genius purchased 10,000 acres of Hempstead Plains on Long Island. There, at almost 70 and with no children, Stewart began creating his legacy...his Garden City.
One of Americas earliest planned villages, Garden City was developed with wide avenues, hundreds of trees and shrubs, sixty well built homes on spacious lots, a handsome hotel on a 30-acre park - all reached via its own railroad line, Stewarts Central Railroad of Long Island.
When Alexander Turney Sterwart died in 1876, his wife Cornelia built in memory of her husband the landmark Cathedral of the Incarnation, Bishops residence and two church schools. She agreed to deed these properties to the Episcopal Church of Long Island with one provision - that her husband be entombed in the Cathedral. They agreed. After Mrs. Stewart's death in 1886, her heirs formed the Garden City Company in 1893 to continue the orderly development of the Village. For many years there was little change in the original Village's overall dimensions. |
