The Baumann Group brings you the best Buyer Agents to represent you when buying a home. To find out what a Buyers Agent is, and why you will want to use one, visit The New York State Buyers Broker Association website at; www.NYSBBA.com. According to The Realty Times, "In the majority of real estate transactions, buyers are better served working with an agent who represents JUST them, as is the case with a Buyer's Agent. That way, buyers have the peace of mind of knowing that a true agent-client relationship exists; they have the guarantee that any time they confide in their Buyer's Agent, their remarks remain confidential; and they can rest assured that someone is looking out for their interests (which has to be more comforting than knowing someone is just "being fair" to them)."
Services That Buyers’ Agents Offer to Their Clients: *Reliable advice and information is perhaps the key factor in making a "good decision". As a buyers agent, they will provide you info such as, but not necessarily limited to the following:
* The original purchase price of the house. * Evaluating improvements that the sellers may have made to the house. * Comparative market analysis for similar houses in the neighborhood. * The average closing help paid by sellers of other similar houses in the neighborhood. * The average drop from list price to sold price. * How many days the property has been on the market for sale. * The co-relation between tax assessed value and market value. * Introduction to reliable mortgage lenders, home inspectors, settlement attorneys etc. * You worry about finding the perfect house – they will help you take care of all the big and small details.

About Massapequa
Massapequa occupies 3.6 square miles of space within the Town of Oyster Bay and has a population of about 21,820 (Jan. 1990). East Massapequa and North Massapequa are communities within Massapequa, with populations of 19,411 and 19,251 respectively.
The name Massapequa is taken from that of the Indian group which originally inhabited the land, the Marsapeagues. The Indian word ‘Massapeauke,’ which means "Great Water Land," suits Massapequa’s south shore location and the many man-made lakes that are located within the area.
The oldest object in Massapequa is the tombstone of Major Thomas Jones, the town’s first non-Indian settler, which dates back to 1713, and can be found on the complex of the Historical Society of the Massapequas at 4775 Merrick Road. In addition to the Floyd-Jones burial grounds, this site houses the ‘Old’ Grace Episcopal Church (1844), the DeLancy Floyd-Jones Free Library (circa 1896), and the Elbert Floyd-Jones Servants Cottage, now a museum (circa 1890).
During the 1960s and the 1970s, Massapequa School District had seven elementary schools (Carman Road, East Lake, Birch Lane, Fairfield, Unqua, Hawthorn, Raymond J. Lockhart), two junior high schools (John P. McKenna and J. Lewis Ames, formerly Parkside) and two high schools, Massapequa and Alfred G. Berner. In the 1990s the Massapequa school district restructured the district by leasing Carmans Road elementary to Nassau BOCES. Hawthorn Elementary was rented to the police department in 2006 and currently serves as the Nassau County Police Academy. John P. McKenna Jr. High School was converted to an elementary school, while Alfred G. Berner became the new middle school. J. Lewis Ames Jr. High School is also no longer a middle school, but now the "Ames Campus" of Massapequa High School, which is where the ninth grade currently attends.
Massapequa School District currently has:
- Six elementary schools (Grades K-6)
- Birch Lane
- East Lake
- Fairfield
- Lockhart
- Mckenna
- Unqua
- One middle school (grades 7-8)
- Berner (formerly Berner High School 1962–1987)
