Exceptional Real Estate Agent and Trusted Partner: Jennie Went Above and Beyond…read more From our very first conversation, we knew we were in the best possible hands with Jennie Katz of Blue Island Homes. We were selling a home in New York while living in Wisconsin, and what could have been a stressful, overwhelming process became smooth and manageable because of her care, expertise, and constant support. Jennie is everything you could hope for in a real estate agent: incredibly smart, deeply knowledgeable about the Long Island market, and fiercely dedicated to doing right by her clients. Our sale was complicated, involving powers of attorney and a lot of moving parts, but she handled every detail with calm professionalism and absolute competence. She spent countless hours on the phone with us, patiently walking us through options, answering every question, and making sure we always felt informed and comfortable. Her communication is outstanding. She updated us at every step, anticipated issues before they became problems, and explained each decision clearly so we never felt in the dark. We trusted her judgment completely, and that trust was more than earned. She found us a buyer we were genuinely thrilled with and negotiated an excellent deal that exceeded our expectations. What really sets Jennie apart is how much she truly cares. This never felt like "just another transaction" to her. She treated our home, our time, and our situation with real respect and compassion. She paid close attention to every detail and advocated for us as if we were family. On top of that, she has a fantastic network of professionals: lawyers, clean-out and dumpster services, and more, which made handling everything from afar so much easier. We honestly can't say enough good things about Jennie. We love working with her, we trust her completely, and we would recommend her without hesitation to anyone buying or selling on Long Island. If you want a real estate agent who is caring, sharp, incredibly hard-working, and absolutely on your side, call Jennie Katz at Blue Island Homes. You will be grateful you did.

Purchasing our first home is a huge milestone. The process of finding a home can be daunting, but…read moreJonathan made the process as seamless as EVER! Jonathan set us up with a portfolio of homes to look at based on our needs. He was constantly sending us updates when new homes came to the market. He was quick to respond and always made sure that we were comfortable with the price or location of the home before touring. As a professional in the customer service industry myself, I appreciated Jonathan's constant follow up and confirmation. If he was unsure about something he was always on top of looking into it for us to find us the correct answer. We toured about 10 or so homes until we found the perfect fit! We finally closed yesterday and would recommend Jonathan to anyone looking to buy or sell! He is truly a ROCKSTAR and an amazing person to work with!

If you are buying a house, or even thinking about buying a house, start with Jeff. He'll tell you…read morewhat finances and paperwork you need to get done, when, and in what order. He will be honest with you throughout -- always direct and never smarmy. He will return every call and text. He will help you understand the whole process, even the stuff you didn't know that you didn't know. He'll send you matches through the app and respond to your comments so when you are finally ready, he knows what you're looking for. Jeff will take you to see houses and will teach you about looking for water in the basement, checking out drainage and the foundation, warning signs and potential 'challenges', as well as being able to answer your questions about septic vs cesspool, how much electric you really need, sussing out if there is gas on the street (for a later stove conversion), and telling you how old the roof is just by looking at it. And any other questions you might have! If he doesn't know the answer, he will find out. He is so thorough and eagle-eyed that you can get excited about the hardwood floors and eat-in kitchen, knowing that Jeff will spot EVERYthing you need to be aware of. He's also really personable which helps when you're spending entire weekend days with someone. We had one crushing disappointment along the way -- not his fault -- and Jeff's straightforward "Okay, that's in the past, let's move forward" attitude was key in getting us right back out there (and we found our house THAT weekend.) He will guide you through the entire process, through closing, and make you feel -- the whole time -- pretty much like you are his only client. Once you close, and you need an electrician, a floors guy, a painter, whatever, Jeff 'has a guy' and if he doesn't, he won't quit until he finds you someone. We would use Jeff again in a second and wholeheartedly recommend him!

Management installed a temporary lock in August that did not fix the problem and, nearly six months later, no permanent repair or replacement has been completed. I followed up multiple times, including a formal written notice citing applicable safety and habitability requirements. Despite acknowledgments, no timeline or resolution has been provided. The issue has been consistently redirected rather than addressed. This experience reflects poor follow-through and a lack of effective property management.

This by far was the worst experience attempting to sell my house. The broker Paul Conforti…read moreneglected my listing for over a year. Never followed through on anything, begged me to lower the price several times and then ultimately never showed up at any showings. Never did an open house, never provided signage, never even listed the property correctly for a year after asking him to make changes several times. The listing was COMPLETELY wrong online which absolutely contributed to no showings. Furthermore I finally was able to get the editing done after threatening to fire him. The day the listing was finally changed - mind you with a ton of spelling errors.... a buyer magically appeared. Well low and behold we had a full ask offer. Great... went into contract, and allegedly this buyer was 'GOLDEN'. Fast Forward more than 3 months... the buyers credit was awful, no income, no money, no chance of being approved. I was held up for 3+ months because the broker did not do his due diligence and assured me the buyer was perfect. TOTAL WASTE OF TIME. DO NOT TRUST this brokerage... when I complained to the manager weeks ago, Barbara, she assured me Paul Conforti would call me and again no phone calls, and she never even returned my call as well. The lack of communication and professionalism is horrendous. The can try and blame everything on Covid-19, sure we are in different times, but phones still work, text still works, and showings are happening every minute! This broker and brokerage experience was HORRIBLE. STEER CLEAR!!!
