It's not too late to close on that Five Towns Home before the school year starts...

Hewlett Elementary SchoolHoping to move in time for your kids to start the school year in their new district? Try these tips for closing quickly:

Communicate Call the district - you may have more time than you think. Some school districts let you enroll your child with a contract, so long as you provide a deed by a certain time. Also, make sure everyone - your broker, lender and attorney and the seller's team - knows you want your child to start the year in the new school.

Show the money Get prequalified for your loan, and have your down payment funds readily available. A cash buyer is diamond, or one who already applied for the mortgage and has their commitment. That will make a deal go very quickly

Don't trip on the red tape Make the inspection and resolving any issues a priority. Missing paperwork, such as certificates of occupancy, can delay the lender's process.

Get creative If the sellers can't vacate in time, the parties may close before the sellers' moving date so the deed can be shown to the school. The seller then stays in for an agreed-upon time under a post-closing possession agreement, and the buyer transports the kid to school. For the opposite problem - the home is vacant, but the closing date is after the first day of school - you may be able to negotiate to move in before you close.

By working closely and efficiently - there is a good chance that you can still be in for the new school year.

Hot Day on Long Island? Stop by Five Pennies Creamery in Rockville Centre

Five Pennies CreameryWe "discovered" this wonderful home-made ice cream store last night after dinner.

I can sum it up in one word YUM!!!

All the products are made in house.

The staff was SUPER FRIENDLY - kept offering us more and more flavors to taste - we had trouble making up our minds.

Our favorite flavors were: Apple Pie Ice Cream, Birthday Cake Ice Cream, Smurf Ice Cream (beware it makes your lips, teeth and skin BLUE), and Bing Cherry Ices.

In addition to fine ice cream, Five Pennies Creamery turns out Coney Island custard (a rich, soft-serve ice cream made with eggs) and Italian fruit ices. This enables them to create the Cyclone (after the roller coaster), in which the custard and ices are layered in a symphony of delectably cold sweetness.

Though it is surround by Haagen Dazs, Ralphs Ices and International Delights Cafe they were packed - I think they will be a huge success!!

So hot night? Need something cool? Stop by Five Pennies Creamery. You won't regret it.

July 4th + Broken Wrist = Disaster BUT for Priorty Pediatrics in Lynbrook, NY

FireworksSo picture this -

It's mid afternoon on July 4th. At friends BBQ Pool party. Sun is shining, pool is cool, company is great, ribs on the grill, kids horseplaying in the yard.

OOPS in the blnk if an eye horseplay turns into injury. My son is grabbing his wrist and is obviously in pain.

Is there an Orthopedist in the house? Of course not. But we did have a GP and an EMT who both said it could be sprained - or broken LOL.

The thought of an Emergency Room on July 4th was extremely unappealing. Figured it would mean hours of sitting around and waiting with my son in pain.

Then my friend mentioned Priority Pediatrics. They are an after hour Urgent Care Facility. She had taken her son there for a possible fracture and had only good things to say about them.

So we took my son there and were pleasant surprised by the office, the care and the efficiency. We were in, examined, x-rayed, casted and out in under an hour.

Back to the BBQ in time for lunch!!

Tomorrow off to our ortho for a follow-up visit,

Priority Pediatrics in Lynbrook saved the day and helped my son in a very timely manner.
