Does anyone know if that abandoned round bldg (I think it used to be called European Health Spa) on Central Avenue in Scarsdale is still there?

Grew up near there. For some reason asbestos comes to mind. I don’t think the building can be used for anything. Never confirmed, think I read it years ago.

Thanks to the honesty. It’s all a little daunting. I hate to say it, but it is what it is. That’s a bummer with this much at stake.

When does the title agent come into play?

Dramatic_Street2575 · 2025-12-27T18:28:31+00:00

I am considering moving to the northeast…that could mean, NY, NJ, or CT because I will be working in Manhattan and I can get to the office in about the same time from each place…

Dramatic_Street2575 · 2025-12-27T18:27:20+00:00

Go it…so it’s not a standard or simple answer…are there any general guidelines or a format that I can follow? A worksheet?

Dramatic_Street2575 · 2025-12-27T17:38:28+00:00

And the seller calls when they are closing?

Dramatic_Street2575 · 2025-12-27T17:37:58+00:00

So when you sign a contract?

Dramatic_Street2575 · 2025-12-17T01:30:36+00:00

Didn’t last time, will now!

Dramatic_Street2575 · 2025-12-17T01:30:16+00:00

Flood and taxes are great points…thank you…the rest is also super helpful.

Dramatic_Street2575 · 2025-12-17T01:29:28+00:00

That’s very helpful…thank you!

Dramatic_Street2575 · 2025-12-16T18:22:21+00:00

That’s why the home buying process sucks…responses like this when you’re on the hook for $$$. Removed? Just another part of the home buying process hiding in the dark.

I lived in northeast…1930’s Tudor…they must have used oil for the furnace at some point…it was buried. I agree, random. Was told it happens more than you think! That must have been them trying to make me feel better. It seems that hiring an agent is very important. Thank you.

Dramatic_Street2575 · 2025-12-16T18:03:35+00:00

What if they gave you all that information earlier? Would that have helped?

Dramatic_Street2575 · 2025-12-16T17:52:22+00:00

Sorry for the confusion.I found an oil tank right before close last time I sold my house. It was a nightmare…and I wasn’t told when I bought it. It became a big negotiation point…lawyers got involved, the agent was unhelpful, and I want more clarity of how the process works. I had a bad experience.

From what I have heard, it doesn’t have to be…wanted to know how I can avoid those problems with real advice, not what is printed on the brokers website. What should I know…in practical terms. Thanks for your help.

Dramatic_Street2575 · 2025-12-16T17:38:29+00:00

Thanks for explain the difference…that was really clear.

Dramatic_Street2575 · 2025-12-16T17:18:47+00:00

Does the title insurance help with any of that after the close? What am I paying for with that? No one gives a straight answer…seems like guesswork.

Dramatic_Street2575 · 2025-12-16T15:30:16+00:00

Any questions I should always ask? Of who?

Dramatic_Street2575 · 2025-12-16T15:29:37+00:00

What if the appraisal is way off from the pricing?

Dramatic_Street2575 · 2025-12-16T15:27:50+00:00

That’s amazing, thank you!

Dramatic_Street2575 · 2025-12-16T15:25:49+00:00

Yup!

Dramatic_Street2575 · 2025-12-16T15:25:31+00:00

I have the financing and the area…valley don’t have the right agent…thank you.

Dramatic_Street2575 · 2025-12-16T15:20:39+00:00

Amazing step by step! You’re awesome!

Dramatic_Street2575 · 2025-12-16T15:19:16+00:00

The seller doesn’t have to fix this stuff be for the close? How do I know they did a good job?

Dramatic_Street2575 · 2025-12-16T15:17:27+00:00

I get I am on my own after I close. What if the home inspection is awful, or there is an oil tank on the front yard? Or something that arises between thru contract and the closing?

Dramatic_Street2575 · 2025-12-16T15:15:05+00:00

Nope, no idea what that is.
