“I wanted to take a brief moment to extend my sincere appreciation to you for working with me on my most recent real estate transaction. You made what most often could be a stressful experience into one of an incredibly positive experience. I have purchased several luxury homes in the past, I have a real estate investment company of my own, and have worked with endless amounts of brokers/agents over the past 30 years and in my opinion you are the best of the best. You have a stellar work ethic, honesty and integrity, your knowledge within the marketplace is second to none. You are an incredibly rare person that goes above and beyond without having to be asked. I will enjoy with complete confidence referring you to anyone in the market for your services. I wish you much deserved continued success in all your future dealings. All my best, ”

- Gerard T. – Bellmore, New York

“Upon meeting Jennie Katz at an open house, we were immediately put at ease by her vast knowledge of real estate and housing markets, particularly, our local high-end market. However, her reputation had actually preceded her. We already knew Jennie Katz to be a powerhouse in the industry via social and standard media marketing, as well as the sheer number of listings and quick, successful closings all around us. We experienced, first-hand, Jennie's savvy marketing prowess, her keen eye, attention to detail and extensive knowledge of home decor and design she used to guide us and prepare our home for sale. Not only did we purchase the house we met Jennie at, but she sold our home over asking price within days of being listed. Her knowledge, guidance, communication and advice through every step of the process was priceless. Tireless work ethic, extensive experience, depth of knowledge of both real estate and home design and true commitment to and caring for her clients makes Jennie Katz THE ONE you want to work with.”

- Kristen W. – Merrick

“Easiest, most pleasurable and efficient home purchase I have ever made. This builder is professional, competent, conscientious and buyer friendly, from the top to bottom of the staff. Superior construction and finish work. My sincerest compliments and congratulations, you are an awesome team!”

- Charlotte T. – Westhampton Beach, New York

“Nearly every time I wander around our house and property, I can’t help but have a feeling of gratitude in my heart for you and your commitment to fine workmanship, organization and a good attitude. [We] really love our home and we are so thankful that you were at the helm of our remodeling project.”

- John & Sara W. – Westhampton Beach, New York

“How do we begin to express our thanks and gratitude to Mark Stempel? Thank you so much… to you, your crew, and subs for building our dream house! The quality of your work, your attention to detail, your (seemingly) effortless management of the project ensuring every single day progress was being made, did not go unnoticed. Additionally, your creative resolution to situations that would arise and “can do” attitude were icing on the cake. Would we build again? YES, but only if we could use you. You are extremely talented, hardworking, honest, communicative, and approached each day with the utmost integrity. ”

- Dennis R. – Locust Valley & Westhampton Beach, NY
