Wagner
College interns get education in troubled housing market
Monday, April 28, 2008
By KAREN O'SHEA
ADVANCE STAFF WRITER
STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- This spring, a small group of
Wagner
College students helped sell real estate, accompanying brokers on open houses and deal-making or -breaking meetings as part of their homework.
Chris Fourman, a finance major, found the course -- the first partnership between the Staten Island Board of Realtors and a local college -- to be
"We are all going to have to rent or sign a mortgage, and with the subprime crisis and people getting into contracts that were not really good for their financial future, this is extremely valuable information," said Fourman, who interned with Casandra Properties in Grasmere. "It's along the same lines of teaching people about balancing their checkbook or establishing a savings account."
Wagner students learned about the business at a key moment -- when the housing market is in a record slowdown.
Professor Mary Lo Re said the subprime mortgage crisis got the attention of students at the private college on Grymes Hill.
It was the student body president who first suggested hosting a real estate conference to discuss topics such as homebuying and investing, and the potential pitfalls and rewards.
"That's where the idea came up that we would offer a special-topic course to address these issues," said Dr. Lo Re.
And the Staten Island Board of Realtors (SIBOR) jumped at the chance to participate.
"They are the adults of tomorrow and they need to understand what real estate is about, especially because of what we are going through now," said SIBOR President Dawn Carpenter.
"You learn more when the market is like this and the houses aren't selling themselves," said Jill Gannon of Cangiano Estates.
Ms. Gannon and Traci Cangiano, broker owner of Cangiano Estates, took Alexandra Moskaluk, a 22-year-old
Wagner
College student, along on 25 open houses.
At one
South
Shore mansion listed for $1.4 million, the brokers gave Miss Moskaluk the vital statistics on the house: Information about a wet bar, radiant heat and wood-burning stove.
But she said it was the more complex building and zoning codes she had not considered.
At another house, a broker questioned whether the pool was within the required distance of the adjacent yard.
"It's just a lot more intricate than I had assumed," Miss Moskaluk said of the selling process.
Theresa Peppio, a senior from Castleton Corners who has a job lined up next year at an accounting firm, spent her internship at Dynasty Real Estate.
She said that's where she felt like "a buyer in training" as she learned from brokers about the tax benefits of buying and to beware of potential for hidden mortgage fees.
She also got a look at what it takes to qualify a buyer -- reviews of tax returns, pay stubs and credit reports, all the more crucial in today's tough credit market.
At an end-of-semester reception last week, students made their presentations before Realtors and faculty.
Ms. Carpenter promised SIBOR's commitment to the program next spring.
That was great news for Dr. Lo Re, who said she'd already secured a $3,000 grant for her students to do more research on the topic and attend a real estate conference later this year.

Realtor builds family, business

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- Traci Cangiano is a young entrepreneur who is staking a claim within Staten Island's business community.
At age 34, she is a wife, a mother of two daughters -- and a Realtor who heads her eponymous company.
Cangiano Estates, a full-service real estate firm, which began in a modest office in Travis, now operates from its own building, purchased in August, at 3888 Amboy Rd., Great Kills. The agency is marking its grand opening this month.
The operation is very much a family enterprise, Mrs. Cangiano said, adding that her real estate career began with encouragement from her mother.
"My supportive mother (Marie DeVito), being a former Realtor herself, and now one of my newest agents, suggested I give real estate a try; so, in August of '99, seven months pregnant with my first daughter, that's what I did -- I acquired my real estate license."
She then spent more than eight years honing her knowledge and skills to best serve home sellers and home buyers.
But, as many entrepreneurs will tell you, building a business is not easy, and family support can, at times, be crucial to success.
"My husband, Vinny, got his (real estate) license in May of '03, prior to the birth of our second baby, to help me keep the existing business afloat," Mrs. Cangiano said.
Her husband, along with her father, Joseph DeVito, spruced up the building "to fit the needs of a growing real estate agency," she said. "Now we are ready to go. We have 11 agents, very hardworking agents who deal with all facets of the market."
In addition to being a Realtor, Mrs. Cangiano holds the designation of Certified Buyer Representative, and both Graduate Realtor Institute and senior real estate specialist status.
Cangiano Estates may be reached at 718-605-5800 and also visited online at www.cangianoestates.com
