WTVR CBS 6 · Virginia This Morning
April 30, 2021 · Television interview
In a competitive real estate market, a strong offer involves more than price. I joined Evanne Armour on Virginia This Morning to discuss four ways buyers could make their offers more competitive.
News 12 Long Island
December 18, 2020 · Television interview
In December 2020, News 12 Long Island reported on how sharply home prices were rising across Nassau and Suffolk Counties as bidding on listed homes grew more competitive. I spoke with News 12 about the strong buyer demand behind that competition. This interview is historical coverage and describes the market as it was in late 2020, not the market today.
Historical coverage · December 2020
These interviews gave me more time to discuss what I was seeing in the housing market, how economic changes were affecting buyers and sellers, and what I had learned from running a real estate brokerage.
FINANCIAL SURVIVAL NETWORK · KERRY LUTZ
Between 2023 and 2024, I joined Kerry Lutz three times to discuss New York real estate, mortgage costs, inflation, cash buyers, the NAR settlement and the decisions people were making about staying in or leaving New York.

THE MADISON PODCAST
February 4, 2022 · Episode 14
This longer conversation covered the early growth of REMI Realty, the real estate and renovation work I was doing at the time, and why I believed building relationships and strong systems mattered more than simply chasing transaction volume.
The following articles used comments I provided as a real estate broker. The articles were written and published by the outlets identified below.
The Wall Street Journal
October 8, 2021 · Quoted commentary
The article examined whether a strong real estate market necessarily produces a strong result for a seller. I was quoted about keeping records of renovation costs and the documentation supporting those improvements.
The Wall Street Journal
April 3, 2021 · Quoted commentary
The article offered guidance for buyers competing in a fast-moving housing market. I was quoted about preparing financially before shopping, moving quickly when the right property becomes available and accounting for local property taxes when calculating an affordable monthly payment.
The Wall Street Journal
October 24, 2021 · Quoted commentary
The article examined the shortage of entry-level homes and the challenges faced by people purchasing on one income. I was quoted about what I had seen among single buyers on Long Island, including concerns about carrying the financial responsibility alone and the importance of making decisions based on current market conditions.
GOBankingRates
May 3, 2025 · Quoted commentary
The article examined how seasonality changes the buying experience. It included comments I previously provided to Newsweek about spring competition, when more buyers are active and prices can be harder to negotiate.
These announcements were issued by REMI Realty and distributed through EIN Presswire. They are listed separately from independently produced interviews and quoted commentary.
Company Announcement
September 14, 2026 · Company announcement
This announcement introduced the expanded AndrewRagusa.com Knowledge Center, including 38 direct answers, detailed Playbooks, Local Seller Guides and documented case studies based on real properties and firsthand experience.
Distributed through EIN Presswire and republished through participating news and media platforms.
Company Announcement
July 15, 2026 · Company announcement
This announcement described a Kings Park sale coordinated with a family living in Wisconsin, including a major cleanout, bed bug treatment, repairs, renovation and the eventual $795,000 sale of the property.
Distributed through EIN Presswire and syndicated to platforms including AP News, WPIX CW11, National Law Review and USA TODAY Network sites.
In addition to interviews and quoted commentary, I have published educational articles and opinion pieces about real estate, negotiations and situations I have encountered in my work. These pieces are presented as a dated archive. Some reflect the market, laws or opinions at the time they were written and should be read in that context.
insights
Before spending money, discuss selling as-is, protecting existing value, and investing to add value. The seller decides after understanding local evidence, costs and time.
insights
How lease terms, rent levels, notice periods, and regulatory status shape the buyer pool and sale strategy for a tenant-occupied Brooklyn two-family.
insights
Long Island home prices hit all-time records in August 2026 even as mortgage rates climbed, because the region's inventory drought remains severe and sellers have little reason to move.
insights
The highest price is not always the strongest offer. Two real Long Island examples show why sellers should compare estimated results, financing, contingencies and timing side by side.

A practical walkthrough for out-of-state heirs: what has to happen first, what you can handle remotely, and how to avoid the delays that cost the most.
guides
A vacant house feels like a pause. Financially and physically, it is anything but — and the costs compound quietly month after month.
guides
The costliest mistakes I see are rarely dramatic. They are small decisions made early that quietly take tens of thousands of dollars off the final number.

What I'm seeing right now in Smithtown and across Suffolk County — inventory, buyer behavior, and what it means whether you're selling this year or just watching.
I am available to discuss the Long Island housing market, buying and selling strategy, property preparation, pricing, negotiation and complicated transactions that require more coordination than a traditional home sale.
