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.

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!

I do not typically write negative reviews, as I strongly believe in giving individuals and…read morebusinesses the benefit of the doubt. However, the experience I encountered during a recent property viewing was so concerning that I feel obligated to share it for the benefit of prospective clients. My partner and I were searching for our third home and had spent the day attending several open houses. This property was our final stop. Upon arrival, we were asked to wait outside because only one party was permitted inside at a time, which we completely understood and respected. When it was our turn to enter, the agent opened the door and immediately instructed us, in a demanding tone, to come inside quickly. At the time, I assumed this urgency was related to preventing a cat inside the home from escaping and did not think much of it. The situation escalated when I proceeded to sign the visitor registration form. The form provided options for either a phone number or an email address. I entered my email address, as that is my preferred method of contact. The agent then demanded that I provide my phone number instead. I politely explained that I had already provided my email address and preferred not to share my phone number. Without provocation, the agent became visibly agitated and began yelling, stating that this was "not how it works" and that I either had to provide my phone number or leave the property. Despite my calm explanation that the form itself allowed for an email address, he continued raising his voice and threatened to call the police if we did not comply. He then took out his phone and stated that he would go outside and photograph our vehicle license plates. What occurred next was the most troubling part of the encounter. The agent physically placed his hands on me and began pushing me toward the exit. I immediately instructed him to remove his hands and made it clear that physical contact was unacceptable. Despite this, he continued yelling and escalating the situation. At that point, I considered contacting law enforcement due to the unwanted physical contact. However, my partner and I ultimately chose to leave rather than further escalate the incident. This entire situation arose solely because I exercised my preference to provide an email address rather than a phone number on a registration form that expressly allowed for that option. There was no justification for the verbal hostility, threats, or physical contact that followed. As a result of this incident, I am evaluating my legal options regarding the physical altercation. Fortunately, I have a recording documenting the interaction. I encourage prospective clients to exercise caution when dealing with this agent. While this review reflects my personal experience, interactions of this nature inevitably impact perceptions of the agency he represents as well. Professionalism, respect, and personal safety should be expected standards in any client interaction, and regrettably, those standards were not met during this encounter.

Richard Dallow spoke to me a number of times on the phone he was relentless in getting me to mortgage the property through "his people" vs a family friend that already had the pre-approval. and trust. he also suggested we use his Lawyer and Inspector. to which i declined. he insisted we should consider other financing options. after deciding not to use his service anymore he said that he would continue to search and help find a new home. i said to him thanks but i'm going to seek another company. he then went on to ask why would i use another company to which i highlighted the fact that he told me to look for other options. I dont like to burn bridges completely so i suggested if his associate wants to send us listings from time to time we'll see what happens he answer, "i shall see if she wants to deal with you now"...... what a man. on a personal note please be more confident when talking to clients you didn't fill me with hope or confidence. rant over onwards and upwards..

Whether it be correspondence with emails, phone calls, or texts, he was extremely diligent in responding in a timely manner. My initial funding had to go through the VA, where my bank didn't even know where to start. Nick knew right away what had to be done and made my home closing experience a breeze. After my initial experience with Nick Schiano, I was so pleased with his work, I began to refer him to friends and family. They have already started to use his services and we're pleased with the outcome. Fast forward a couple years, Nick reached out to me to let me know rates have been dropping and I should take advantage. He ran the numbers by me and we started the process the same day. Saved me a ton of money and I couldn't thank him enough. Nick Schiano is a true professional and I would highly recommend anyone to give him a shout if you're in the market to buy a home or refinance.
