Debra Carr and Noel Kappauf, Associate Brokers at Netter Real Estate just successfully sold a dream home on Oak Beach to long time customers.  The happy family thanked Debra and Noel for helping them finally find their own “Little Bit O’Paradise” on the waterfront of Suffolk’s South Shore.

Debra Carr and Noel Kappauf, Associate Brokers at Netter Real Estate proved that great things happen to those who wait...and who work with the right REALTOR. After 10 years of searching, this family owns their piece of paradise on Suffolk's South Shore.

It took this family almost 10 years to find a comparable home to one that “got away.”  You see, a decade ago, this family found the perfect home in the perfect location…but at the last moment the sellers of that home realized how perfect it was and decided to stay and not sell.  Knowing exactly what they wanted and being unwilling to settle for anything less, this family didn’t give up and continued their search ever since.  Debra and Noel didn’t give up either.  Together they found The Home that had it all; views, VIEWS …and MORE VIEWS!  The home itself has plenty of living space for the family (and the numerous guests they are sure to have) and even has a full basement.  Best of all, it has its own BEACH and PIER!  It just doesn’t get any better than that.

Live the dream like this family is with their own private beach and pier.

Oak Beach has been in the news a great deal recently but those reports cannot overshadow the beauty and tranquility that is unique to “Sore Thumb” and “Democrat Point,” maintaining its title as one of the most sought after and desirable locations on Suffolk’s South Shore.  It is truly Paradise found.  Just ask this family.

Gilgo Beach has a beauty and tranquility that is unique, maintaining its title as one of the most sought after and desirable locations on Suffolk’s South Shore. It is truly Paradise found. Just ask this family.

Let Debra and Noel help you find your PARADISE on Oak Beach this summer so you too can experience the joy of being on VACATION every day.  For all your real estate needs, contact Debra and Noel at 631-661-5100 or email dcarr@netterrealestate.com or nkappauf@netterrealestate.com .

The Amityville Horror.  Joey Buttafuco.  Joel Rifkin.  These are unsavory yarns woven into the tapestry of Long Island’s history.  Even though the negativity of these stories dominated the media at the time, the natural beauty of Long Island and the tremendous sense of community of our neighborhoods prevailed.  Sure people still remember these dark events in Long Island’s history but every day families – 3.5 million people – choose to live their American Dream here because we are not defined by these occasional bad events.

Today, we are in the midst of another dark story; this time along Ocean Parkway.  As human beings, we can’t help but shudder in horror as law enforcement makes its discoveries during the ongoing investigation.  As fathers, mothers, brothers and sisters, we hope for justice and closure for the families of the victims.  As Long Islanders, we will get past this.  We always do.

CNN, one of the most trusted names in broadcast journalism, came to Jim Netter, one of the most trusted people in real estate, when they needed to know the truth about real estate on Long Island.

Jim Netter, our Broker/Owner/Mentor at Netter Real Estate, was interviewed by CNN this week with regard to the impact that the investigation is having on real estate in our area.  Excerpted from the online CNN article:

Jim Netter, a real estate broker in West Islip, said he has not seen property values diminish and has seen no change in sales. In fact, the media attention has led to “an increase in the number of inquiries” about homes in the area, he said.

Netter Real Estate's Broker/Owner/Leader and Mentor, the one and only Jim Netter.

The Beach.  It’s not just for summer anymore.  Year round beach living is like an endless vacation.  Spectacular waterviews don’t go away when the air gets cooler.  Home is supposed to be a retreat from the rest of the world.  A place where you can relax.  Enjoy your family.  Entertain friends.  Can you think of a better way to relax than to listen to the tranquil sounds of the water?  A more beautiful backdrop than the Fire Island Inlet and the Great South Bay?

Oak Beach offers these things and more.  Of course there are the obvious private beaches available to the Oak Beach community and incredible fishing.  Oak Beach has held the record since 1948 for the largest flounder — over 20 pounds!  In the deep glades that lie landward of Oak Beach are rare and endangered birds who retreat here in the Spring and Autumn.  You don’t need to be a bird enthusiast to observe this wonder of nature.  You simply need access to Oak Beach…and as a resident, you’ll have it all year-round.

Oak Beach is part of the Town of Babylon so as a resident, you will enjoy all the Town has to offer as well, which is convenient since Oak Beach is entirely residential.  When the Robert Moses Causeway was completed in 1951, it made travel back and forth to the main part of Long Island so much easier — no ferry required.  Your commute back and forth to the office will be an absolute dream as the Causeway offers fantastic views of its own.

Netter Real Estate has two fabulous choices for Oak Beach living:

Feeling Itchy?  It’s poison Ivy time!

Poison Ivy                                       Poison sumac                 Poison oak     

These plants contain an oily substance called URUSHIOL that causes a red, bumpy rash in many people.

If you think you have come into contact with one of these plants, wash with soap and water  as quickly as possible.  If you do this, you may stop a reaction.  If it is longer than that, the oil has already penetrated the skin and washing it will no longer prevent the rash, but it may help reduce the severity.

Treatment  Options:

1. OTC  cortisone cream 2-3 times a day
2. Anti-itch lotion such as calamine lotion
3. OTC antihistamine such as Benadryl or Zyrtec
4. Take an oatmeal bath

But see the doctor if the over the counter products don’t work, blisters are oozing, or if you develop a fever of over  100° F

IvyBlock (ivyblock.com) is the only FDA approved OTC barrier cream.  Use like a sunscreen.

The key to preventing that rash is knowing  what these plants look like and the avoid them!
