The summer rental season is officially in high gear EARLY this year. \u00a0 Normally, it’s pretty sluggish around here till Presidents Day weekend but in 2013 we got a very early start, like JANUARY 1st!! \u00a0 \u00a0I’m not sure what it is this year that has everyone so gung-ho but it’s not just me, all of my friends in the business are saying this is the busiest January they’ve seen in a long time! \u00a0 I’m not sure if it’s the \u00a0economy, the growing popularity of the Hamptons or even the fact so many at the Jersey Shore have been affected by damage from Hurricane Sandy and the Tsunami Snookie!? \u00a0 It’s any ones guest really. \u00a0Get it Guest!? \u00a0 Lame. \u00a0Sorry.<\/p>\n

So if you’re a landlord thinking of renting, here are a couple of hints to help you get that lease signed a little quicker (In no particular order).<\/i>\u00a0 And yes, you may think these points are common sense but I’ve seen a few properties where these simple points could have been really helpful!!!<\/p>\n

1) If your house has ash trays of cigarette butts all over the place, empty them and buy a vacuum cleaner. \u00a0 \u00a0It’s amazing but people don’t find the smell of stale tobacco as enticing as they once did. \u00a0 Unless you’re renting to a member of the Rat Pack, most people in fact will find this a turn off.<\/p>\n

2) And speaking of Rat Packs. \u00a0If you have a rodent problem, hide the poison or at least resolve the problem BEFORE you want to rent your property. \u00a0 \u00a0 I know everyone loves a cute pet and a few people even liked the movie “Willard” but honestly, \u00a0most rats or even mice give people the heebie jeebies!<\/p>\n

3) When a broker comes to your house, please don’t tell their potential renters about how horrible the Hamptons are in the summer. \u00a0 Also, \u00a0its not a good idea to elaborate how you hate your neighbors because their kids are in the backyard pool screaming all hours of the day the entire season. \u00a0 \u00a0 We as real estate agents work for you the landlord<\/i> but when you talk about all the negatives of your own house, it’s not a good thing for us to contradict you.<\/p>\n

That being said, for those who don’t want to rent a house and just want a quiet weekend out east, \u00a0there is a new option. \u00a0The 380 Inn, formerly the Enclave Inn which is located on Montauk highway in Wainscott. \u00a0\u00a0As of now, there is no website so local folk will be left guessing changes have been made to this Hamptons staple.<\/p>\n

I spoke with the receptionist on the phone and she let me in on a little secret. \u00a0The owners of the 380 Inn had actually been managing the Enclave Inn for the past five years and they finally just decided to buy. I know people who have stayed there in the past and enjoyed it, so I’m hoping we’ll have more of the same.<\/p>\n

According to the old Enclave Inn’s website the Hamptons are “considered by many, the Malibu of the East.” \u00a0 \u00a0Ok, Malibu of the east… minus the tans and the waves but I’m I’ll go with it. \u00a0 There are plenty who enjoy the outdoor lifestyle out here, similar to Malibu. \u00a0 \u00a0I just wonder if the bicyclist are as vulnerable on the west coast as they are on 27!!?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
