Business Philosophy

I believe that a great real estate agent is a great listener, negotiator, and is knowledgeable of the market and of the offerings to assist clients in finding successful end results. Having grown up in a builder's family I am sensitive to the design, construction, and space and spatial relationship uniquely offered by each listing.

Education and Training

I received my Bachelor of Science degree from Penn State University, my Master's of Secondary School Science from Villanova, and taught 28 years at Scarsdale High School. I also have 90 graduate credits beyond the Master's degree.

Awards And Designations

Both in 1986 and 1995 I received the dedication to the Scarsdale High School yearbook and delivered the graduation address to these two classes. I know the high school programs as well as the elementary school programs and have 28 years experience elbow-to-elbow with the program makers and developers. I am an invaluable resource in knowing the education programs in this community as well as knowing the present housing market and would be delighted to be of help to you. Call anytime.

Personal Background

I have lived in Scarsdale for 46 years and own my house since 1976 at which time I assumed an 8.5% mortgage! Compared to today, the mortgage rate is a strong incentive to qualified buyers to purchase real property. The historically low mortgage rates offer one of the best times to buy in my opinion. I am very knowledgeable of the Scarsdale area and would be glad to help you or answer any of your questions in purchasing or selling a property. I work very closely with whoever needs my services and I invite you to call me anytime at your convenience if I can help.

Testimonial #1

Yesterday I closed on the sale of my parents' house in Scarsdale, culminating a life-long association with that village, neighborhood, house and all the emotional trappings that accompany them. Inherently it was not a pleasant task, as you might expect, but one that was made very effortless and efficient by our agent, Joe Moffitt. The property was in contract in a week with 22 offers.

Interest was extremely high for the house and Joe Moffitt did far more than was reasonable to expect in making the process work seamlessly. the undeniable success of this transaction, rests squarely with Mr. Moffitt's knowledge of the business, personal commitment, consistent professionalism, incredible personal work standards, his impeccable ethics, and his genuine understanding of exactly what "great customer service" really means. He managed this process in a fashion that was a real credit to your company, and he is clearly a decided asset to your business.

Testimonial #2

It is our pleasure to write you about our recent wonderful experience with Joe Moffitt. Joe was very proactive. We had a broker's open house in less than a week. Over the next 17 days, we had over 30 viewings and 3 offers; one we accepted immediately. While the sale was very satisfying, it was Joe's professionalism and guidance that really made him invaluable to us. From helping us set a marketable price, to dealing with the various offers and paperwork, he made us feel comfortable and secure in our decisions.

The process of selling a house is very stressful, but Joe's thoroughness, pleasant demeanor, and professional manner made this a much easier experience than expected, We would highly recommend him without hesitation to our friends and neighbors.

Testimonial #3

I am writing this letter to share with you the experience I had in selling my house. From the time we that about placing our house on the market until the closing, our broker, Joseph Moffitt, was at our side. Having known Joe for many years I expected a certain level of professionalism, competence, and attention to detail; our experience working with Joe far exceeded my expectations. Joe's professional input included: pricing our house (exactly right in my opinion); offering advice on how best to prepare the house to be shown; taking 100% of the responsibility for showing the house; and, finally, handling the negotiations in a way that enabled us to sell our house above the asking price.

But, there was much more. Joe held our hand through this most difficult transition. He not only advised us on how to prepare the house, he helped in organizing. When things moved slowly, he made that telephone call to assure us that the deal was coming into place. Joe's help literally did not end until he personally drove me to the Metro North station after the closing. I am writing this letter to thank you for having Joe in your company.

Testimonial #4

Joe was indefatigable in searching the county for a cooperative apartment that would suit my specifications, which were extremely demanding, and continued the search during my stay in Florida last winter. He phoned, e-mailed and faxed me details of some places that he thought might suit me and visited them personally to report on them. Finally, in the spring he discovered one that might meet my needs and went to great lengths to ascertain the advantages and the drawbacks, as well as other information that went into my decision.

After that decision Joe continued to provide me with access to the apartment and to be helpful in acquainting me with the area, facilitating my move and in general providing able, highly professional assistance,. I appreciate his knowledge, honesty and energy.

Testimonial #5

I am writing to let you know what a tremendous asset Joe Moffitt is to your company. Joe helped me through every step in the process. First, in seeing around 40 apartments to help find the perfect one, after each time we went out looking Joe would refine our search until we found the perfect apartment for me. Joe would let me know daily what new came onto the market. He helped me through the offering process. Joe was always there to help as a true professional. Towards the end, as I was getting ready to close and had not heard on my mortgage, Joe was a calming influence and always there to expedite the process.

I highly recommend him to my friends and family.

Testimonial #6

Joe Moffitt may be characterized as a "Johnny on the spot." He had been aware for some time of our desire to purchase an apartment in a particular building which rarely had vacancies. As soon as he learned of a potential apartment's coming onto the market, he alerted us and monitored the status of that apartment for more than a week on a hourly basis. And, so, with ten minutes of the apartment's availability, we were first in the door. Joe patiently returned with us numerous times as we measured, considered and reconsidered, bid and waited. When our bid was finally accepted, Joe personally drove paperwork to the seller's attorney in northern Westchester. Eventually, through no fault of Joe's nor of ours, the deal fell through! Joe stuck with us as another apartment came available in the same building. Once more Joe returned with us as we measured, bid and waited. And then he again personally delivered the paperwork, this time to a Riverdale attorney's office.

His dedication to the job and to us was unwavering. We would recommend Joe Moffitt in a heart beat.
