ake Placid
P

ny areas
area of our community, our schools, and our churches. We do everything possible to represent
repres
both
buyers and sellers with honesty and integrity. This has been and always will be our
way of conducting business.
Lake Placid Real Estate has been under the same ownership since 1979 and we
have weathered some good times and bad. In the beginning, there were about
twenty people making a living as real estate agents and today that number is in
the hundreds. We are grateful that we have been able to maintain market share
sufficient to provide for our families and to live, work and play in this beautiful
area.
We are a full service agency with extensive “hands on” experience in all aspects of
residential and commercial real estate. This
includes the development of residential
and commercial subdivisions, new home,
professional office and town home design
and construction, renovation of commercial apartment and office buildings, and a
property rental and management division.
One of our newest ventures includes the
creation of an office to handle the resale of
fractional ownership interests at The Whiteface Lodge. This is being overseen by
Colleen Holmes who took a three year leave of absence from our office to work
as the Director of Sales for this one hundred million dollar venture. Another new
venture is the creation of a Community Land Trust and development of a nine
acre parcel in the village to provide housing for the middle class. We are committed to addressing the extreme shortage of affordable housing, as we believe this is
one of the most pressing problems facing our community.
Thank you for picking up this publication. We are uniquely qualified to give sound,
practical and valuable advice to buyers and sellers given our extensive “hands on
experience”. This includes areas of zoning rules and regulations, taxes, mortgages,
builders and contractors, and insights into area schools, churches, and numerous

Love at First Sight
Curb Appeal
By Christina Eccleston
W
e all have a favorite house in a community.
Have you ever stopped to ponder what the
attraction is? Most likely, you became smitten while traveling by the house quickly – perhaps in a fast
moving vehicle. Despite only having the
opportunity to quickly
glance at the house,
a feature or aspect of
the house caught your
attention enough to
classify it as your “favorite house”. It may
have been the style of
the home or the color
scheme of the house,
however, most probably, it is the fact that
the house has good
curb appeal.
There are many
exterior details of a house that will create curb appeal. If you
are considering listing your home for sale, prior to listing, it
would be beneficial to take an objective look at your home.
You only have one opportunity to make a first impression
with buyers, and, in real estate, curb appeal equals more
quality showings and generally a quicker sale.
You can start by making sure that your property
has an overall neat and clean appearance. It is important to
ensure that your yard is as tidy as possible by mowing, trimming and raking the lawn, weeding the gardens, trimming
and re-mulching the trees and shrubs and scooping up any
pet droppings. You should also keep personal items (i.e. la-
wn ornaments and children’s toys) at an absolute minimum as they detract from a properties overall appearance. Any chipped or peeling paint should be repainted
and faded wood re-stained. Pressure wash any vinyl siding that is showing signs
of dirt marks. Resurface
your driveway if there are
any sizeable cracks or pot
holes. Sometimes adding
small items to your property can also create curb
appeal. In the warmer
months, be sure to add
a pot or two of colorful,
attractive flowers to your
doorstep. In the winter
months, pots of nicely arranged evergreen sprigs
can warm up the entryway. And don’t forget a
fresh, clean door mat.
Curb appeal will certainly add value and interest
to your home. But it doesn’t end there. Once you get buyers to the door you’ve got to wow them on the inside. Declutter and depersonalize so the buyer can see themselves
living in what was once your home and then you’ll be on
your way to a quicker and more profitable sale.

The History: By Claire Stahler
camp on
This 2.82 acre property is the portion of the Silver Lake Camp
for Girls that was retained by the owners for their use after the
camp was closed in the 1970’s.
Approximately half of the main camp property was donated
to the Nature Conservancy and the other half was sold to an
individual family. The three buildings described in this offering
housed Camp Directors (Piney Point), Camp Directors (Woodward), and campers (Marcy). They were built in 1950, 1917 and
1938 respectively. Uphill, near Marcy, is the site of the camp’s
outdoor chapel. A truly unique opportunity is available here!
Piney Point is lakeside and has a modern kitchen, bath, pine
great room with stone fireplace and dining area plus one large
and one small bedroom. Sleeps 3+.
Piney Point
Woodward’s great room has a Vermont Castings stove in its
stone fireplace. The screened porch overlooks the lake and is
great for all activities. There is a kitchen, 2 full baths, and sleeping space for 11 in this historic building.
Marcy is just up the hill affording privacy to visitors. With a
mini-kitchen, half-bath and sleeping/living area it comfortably
accommodates three.

Intro
tro
◊ Th
Thee great American tradition of the summer vacation is about getting
gettin away from
it all.. The word vacation - according to local legend - evolved from the word vacate.
In thee 1800’s there truly was a summer ritual of “vacating” city homes and packing
up everything
rything for the annual trek to Adirondack great camps. These days, visitors still
pack up
p the family car, leave the mundane daily responsibilities behind and escape
to the sanctuary
anctuary of six million acres of unspoiled wilderness. Immerse yourself in
our rivers and lakes or bask in the warmth of the sun on a mountain top. In no time
you’ll feel your cares evaporate. The return to nature is complete. Although modern
conveniences have changed some things, the unspoiled forests, tumbling rivers and
lush green meadows remain a haven for those seeking solace. The only downside to
an Adirondack summer vacation is that it can’t last forever. But at least you know that
after spending some time with us, you’ll return home feeling recharged and ready
to face the world with a renewed spirit. Rest, relaxation and rejuvenation is how the
Adirondacks do summer vacation.
Outdoor Adventures
◊ Ever since the days of New York governor and first conservationist, Teddy Roosevelt,
the Adirondack Park has set the standard for the coexistence of nature and civilization.
That tradition continues today with pockets of refined society and upscale resorts
scattered throughout the six million acre “forever wild” rugged wilderness. Living in
harmony with nature is what the Adirondacks are all about.
Answer the call of nature and set out on the trail. With over 2,000 miles of trails in
the Adirondack Park, you’re sure to find a hike to suite your taste. Whether your goal
is to bag all 46 High Peaks or just take a leisurely afternoon stroll through the woods,
the trail head starts here.
Cool, clear ponds. Deep, dark lakes. Rushing, rambling rivers. No matter which is
your favorite, the prevailing feature of the Adirondack landscape is water. Pick up
a paddle and canoe or kayak on one of the many tranquil ponds. If high adventure
sounds more your speed, white water rafting trips on the Hudson will literally take
your breath away. 30,000 miles of rivers and streams and 2,000 lakes and ponds are
more than enough water to set all your cares adrift.
Make a date with a famed Adirondack Guide to take you on an authentic outdoor
adventure customized to your interests. These licensed outdoorsmen can teach you to
fly-fish, camp, canoe, or any other popular Adirondack outdoor pursuit you can think
of. So load up a pack basket, pile in a guide boat and let an expert show you the best
fishing holes only the locals know about. If you’re lucky, you may get to hear a tale or
two of old Adirondack legends as you sit around the campfire.
Chillin’
◊ Whiteface Mountain in Wilmington isn’t just for extreme sports enthusiasts or
adrenaline junkies. If spectacular views are what you’re after, the Cloudsplitter Gondola delivers up a great one of Lake Placid and the High Peaks from the top of Little
Whiteface. For a great 360 degree panorama, drive up the winding, eight mile long
Whiteface Memorial Highway. An elevator inside the mountain takes you to the summit of the fifth tallest peak in the state for some breathtaking scenery.

Heritage and Culture
◊ Our Adirondack history is older than the country itself. All along the Adirondack
Coast of Lake Champlain is where the fight for our nation’s freedom was waged.
Situated between Lake Champlain and Lake George, majestic Fort Ticonderoga was
a major British checkpoint on the water route to the British-controlled Canadian
provinces. Relive the battles of the French and Indian War at the Crown Point Historic Site Grand Encampment re-enactments.
The Winter Olympic tradition is a big part of our Adirondack heritage even in summer. The Olympic spirit endures as Lake Placid still hosts world-class sporting events
and remains a training ground for athletes all year round. Experience the magic of
the Olympics for yourself as you watch ski jumpers perform aerial maneuvers and
splash down into a pool, tour the rink where history was made with the 1980 “Miracle on Ice” or take a ride down the bobsled track at lightning speed.
Take the family on a day trip deep into the heart of the Adirondack wilderness and
visit one of our two great museums that celebrate the people, wildlife and history
of the Park.
The brand-new Natural History Museum of the Adirondacks in Tupper Lake, nicknamed the Wild Center, sees the Adirondacks as a model for the future by exploring
issues of how humans and nature co-exist. The Wild Center invites children to learn
by experiencing the living exhibits. At the Adirondack Museum in Blue Mountain
Lake you can see a hermit’s cabin and watch demonstrations of traditional Adirondack crafts like carving a guideboat or weaving a pack basket.
Essex County has two sites that are on the New York Underground Railroad Heritage Trail: the Old County Courthouse in Elizabethtown and John Brown’s Farm
Historic Site in Lake Placid. Visit the farmhouse and gravesite of the abolitionist
about the
John Brown who is best remembered for his raid on Harpers Ferry. Learn abo
rolee our area played in an important time in our nation’s history while exploring the
hiking
ng trails that criss-cross the farm.

Using rocks in landscaping is not commonly thought of, but they can
add beauty and style to a boring and bland yard. The different varieties
of rocks will allow you to use them in many different ways to create the
look that you want.
Yards all over the world share the same look and feel. Many of them
have the green grass, trees, and flowers in neat little flowerbeds. You
do not have to go down this same landscaping road. There are many
different things that you can use in your landscaping design to add
beauty and interest. One of the materials not commonly thought of is
landscaping rocks.
ROCKS
IN YOUR
LANDSCAPING
DESIGN
By: Mr. Andrew Caxton
{Sprucing Your Landscape}
• To begin your landscaping adventure,
you need to remove all of the grass. If
you don’t use the green grass of your
lawn, then why should you keep it? It
only causes you more work. You can
use a shovel or a tiller to help break up
the soil and remove the rocks. This will
also allow you to ensure that you have
proper drainage for your plants and
flowers or install an irrigation system to
help cut down on your watering time.
{Making Your Walkway Perfect}
• A walkway is a great thing to add
to your home’s landscaping design. It
helps to enhance your home to have
a separate walkway to your home.
This will also help to keep your home
cleaner by having a separate walkway
so that your guests do not have to walk
through your yard and bring dirt or
debris into your nice, clean home.
• You can easily use rocks or stone
slabs to create a beautiful pathway to
your home. Stagger the rocks or stones
to help make the walkway safer and
more secure. To add design and style
to your pathway, you can make curves
and bends.
{Rock Stabilizing}
• To stabilize the rocks in your landsca-
22
ping design, you will want to remove
four to five inches of the soil underneath where you want to place the
rocks. If you add a thin layer of gravel
beneath each of the stones, this will
help to keep your rocks stable for
walking.
{Adding Trees and Shrubs}
• Adding shrubs and tress to your landscaping plan will help add height and
texture to your lawn. After you have
planted your trees and shrubs, you can
fill in the gaps using smaller flowers and
plants. Adding perennials to your rock
landscape will give the area color and
visual interest. You can then use river
rock to fill in the smaller gaps between
the flowers instead of mulch.
{Finishing Touches}
• To add the finished touches to your
rock landscaping design, you can
choose to include hanging plants or
vines. Use the green vines to climb
the porch or railing. This will give
your landscaping more of a Tuscan
feel. Creative stone features can also
enhance your decorating design as well
as statues. Choose the things that you
enjoy for the perfect landscaping design
for you and your family.

THE BROKER
Q

Q
A
Q
A
When I walk into a real estate brokerage and ask to see property, is the agent working for me?
It’s important to understand Agency Relationship, not only for your own knowledge but so the real estate
process can go as smoothly as possible. Naturally you would think that the agent is working on your behalf
and they are in a sense but only to a certain extent. The sales agent is actually the seller’s representative hired
by the seller to list and sell their property. The sales agent’s fiduciary duties are to the seller and not to you as
the buyer. You may enlist a sales agent as your buyer’s agent. In this case the sales agent would be working with
your best interest at hand and their fiduciary duties are to you as the buyer.
Can I sell my home myself even if I have entered into an agreement with a real estate broker?
This depends on the type of listing agreement you enter into with your broker. There are three common types
of listing agreements. If you enter into an Exclusive-agency agreement or an Open listing and you procure the
buyer without involving a broker then no commission is due the broker. The Exclusive-agency is an agreement
with a single broker whereas the Open listing allows you to employ as many brokers as you would like and you
would pay a commission to the broker that produces a ready, willing and able buyer. This might sound like the
way to go but brokers are less inclined to spend marketing dollars and time promoting your property because
they will not earn a commission if another broker sells your property first. In an Exclusive-right-to-sell listing your broker is entitled to a commission if your property is sold during the listing term regardless of who
procures the buyer. This is the preferred type of listing agreement by most brokers.
Is your office a member of a multiple listing service and how would that benefit me?
Yes, our firm is proud to be a REALTOR® member of the Adirondack-Champlain Valley MLS. The MLS is a
powerful marketing and networking tool that we use daily to help us sell and buy property. If you would like
to sell your property, our membership in MLS means that your property gets marketed to over 400 member
sales agents all working to find a buyer for your property. If you would like to buy a property, we can input
your requirements into the MLS database to generate a list of all the properties that meet your needs, then we
can arrange showings to find you the perfect home or property.
