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.

Geography
Dix Hills is located at 40°47′46″N 73°20′4″W / 40.79611°N 73.33444°W / 40.79611; -73.33444 (40.796065, -73.334426)[1] In between Elwood on the North, Deer Park and Wheatley Heights on the south, Dix Hills on the west and Commack on the east, Dix Hills is separated by the Long Island Expressway, which cuts almost straight through the middle of town, and the Northern State Parkway. Southeast Dix Hills comprises the Pine Hill neighborhoods of Lauren and Lincoln in between Lincoln Avenue to the west, Commack Road to the east and south (where the road curves south of Pine Hill Lane), and the Long Island Expressway to the north. This area of Dix Hills has many hills and the most wooded area in Dix Hills including a hilly patch of land located between the Pine Hill/Dix Highway curve and the Long Island Expressway (officially Thornwood Park Preserve and Northpoint Park).
Northeast Dix Hills, containing the neighborhoods of Buttonwood, Wagonwheel, and Village Hill, lies north of the LIE between Carll's Straight Path/Deforest Road to the west, Commack Road to the east, and the Northern State Parkway to the north. It is separated by the steep hills of Vanderbilt Parkway. This area is one of the hilliest in Dix Hills. The eastern part of Dix Hills (east of Village Hill Drive - the western half of the loop as it goes back to Vanderbilt Parkway in a semicircle) is a part of Dix Hills that is in the Commack School District as opposed to Half Hollow Hills. Commack Middle School on Vanderbilt and Rolling Hills Elementary School are in the Commack School District even though the buildings are physcially in Dix Hills.
South Central Dix Hills, comprising North Otsego, lying north of Otsego Avenue, and South Otsego, lying south of the street (whose eastern end ends in Otsego Park) lies between Lincoln Ave and Otsego Park to the east, Deer Park Avenue (Route 231) to the west, the LIE to the north and the Deer Park border to the south. Almost completely flat except for the northern end on the expressway, this area contains Candlewood Middle school on Carll's Straight Path, Otsego Elementary School on Otsego Avenue adjacent to the park, and a steep wooded area similar to the crazy eights called highland park, along the LIE, but better known in local youth culture as the "chicken farms."
North Central Dix Hills is a hilly area bordered by Carll's Straight Path and Deforest Road on the east, Deer Park Avenue on the west, the Northern State Parkway on the north and the LIE to the south. Most of this section's population lives in the southern portion south of Vanderbilt Parkway in the Candlewood neighborhood with North Candlewood Path as its main thoroughfare. Most of the area north of it is occupied by Dix Hills Park. The western border is home to "religion row", an area where several churches, synagogues and mosques line a one-mile stretch of Deer Park Avenue from the Expressway to Vanderbilt Parkway along with Vanderbilt Elementary school, located on Deer Park Avenue just north of Vanderbilt Parkway.
Northwest Dix Hills comprises the largest area of Dix Hills, stretching from Deer Park Avenue in the east to Carman Road and Bagatelle Road in the west and the LIE and Northern State on the South and North, respectively. With the neighborhoods of Landview, Suncrest and Caledonia, it contains both of Half Hollow Hills' high schools, High School East on Vanderbilt Parkway (Landview) and High School West (Caledonia) on Wolf Hill Road, as well as the school district's Central Office at the former Manasquan Elementary School on Half Hollow Road. It also is home to Five Towns College at the northern end of Burr's Lane. All three neighborhoods contain hilly terrain.
Southwest Dix Hills is nestled between Deer Park Avenue on the east, Bagatelle Road and the Dix Hills border on the west, the Deer Park and Wheatley Heights borders on the south and the LIE on the north. This area features the neighborhoods of South Hollow, north of Ryder Avenue, and Trescott, in between Ryder Avenue and Straight Path, as well as the smaller enclave of Woodlawn, between Straight Path and Deer Park Avenue, right before Straight Path ends into Deer Park Avenue at Straight Path's northern end. Southwest Dix Hills is home to the former Half Hollow Hills Country Club and Strathmore Park on Ryder Avenue as well as Paumonauk Elementary School on Straight Path on the Deer Park town line. The biggest hill in Dix Hills, on Calumet Drive, lies just east of Burr's Lane and southwest of Ibsen Avenue, which is the steepest street in Dix Hills.
North Dix Hills occupies the northern most section on the border with Elwood and East Northport and is also the smallest, running from Old Country Road in the west, to Swathmore Lane in the east and Jericho Turnpike and the Northern State Parkway on the north and south respectively. This section is hilly as well and despite being just a few square miles geographically, it is divided up into several sections because Route 231 splits into East Deer Park Avenue and Park Avenue just north of the Northern State Parkway. These are Arista, along Park Avenue, and Villanova, along East Deer Park Avenue. Majestic Drive, in between Jericho Turnpike and the split, is part of Villanova.

History of Dix Hills
The Town of Huntington was founded in 1653, and the area to the north of Half Way Hollow was first referred to as "dicke pechegans" in 1689, marking the area where Dick Pechagan, an indigenous person from one of the local tribes, had his wigwam and his planting fields. Over the years this name was shortened and changed to "Dick's Hills," and although a few old records do use that spelling, it quickly became even easier to just spell "Dix." While Half Hollow Hills marks the hills located halfway between the sound and Ocean, Dix Hills marks the hills that belonged to a man named Dick.
