Having Joanna Tsue of Blue Island Homes as our real estate agent was a true blessing. Given that we are selling our house in the Gables area after 54 very happy years in Merrick, we wanted someone who had a deep connection to the community. As a member of the Merrick Gables Association, Joanna has donated considerable time and effort to improving and beautifying the community and making it one of the most sought-after areas on Long Island. As someone who is studying architecture, she knows the ins and outs of town ordinances and codes, and can field most questions a buyer may have in a confident and professional manner. Her knowledge of architecture is a real bonus which she has put to good use in remolding her own Gables ranch. Having given us a tour of her home, we can attest to how creative she is and how she handled every detail of the renovation with skill and thoughtfulness. Since we are seniors who will not be around for the closing, and have no family in the area, we needed someone we could trust to handle things in our absence. From making frequent visits to the house to make certain that all was in order, to arranging last minute inspections by plumbers, utility workers etc., and even arranging for and tossing out a mattress that was no longer needed, Joanna went the extra mile and was a calming and reassuring presence. In sum, Joanna made the whole process of selling our home much less stressful and we would wholeheartedly recommend her whether you are selling or buying a home in our area. Jane and Barry Schwartz

I found Julie Thum through the Nextdoor App and messaged her right away. I had noticed her positive postings on Nextdoor not only about her real estate listings but also neighborhood news and events. Meeting with Julie was great - she visited with me right away and answered all of my questions regarding the process of a co-op sale. When we did get the ball rolling, she was able to provide me with a laundry list of contacts for everything I might need including real estate lawyers, financial advisers, housecleaning, professional organizers, handyman services, electrical, plumbing and painters. She was also great in keeping me focused on things that I should be doing in order to move things along - her communication via text and emails were very welcome so I wouldn't forget. She was quick to get a photographer and the listing on-line but was also realistic with how long the process might take as a co-op has its own set of rules & regulations. She was in touch during holidays and travel, I could reach out to her anytime and she would respond. When all was said and done, papers signed and keys passed over, Julie was right there supporting all the way. I hope the new owner is as happy with his new home as I was when I first stepped through the doorway many years ago. The next chapter begins and I know that I can reach out to Julie should I need her help again. I highly recommend Julie Thum if you are looking for an experienced and genuine relator.

Neven is the kind of agent you want on your side. He is extremely organized, responsive, and just an overall really nice person. In helping us buy a home in San Clemente, there were several times when Neven went the extra mile to make the process smooth and as stress-free as possible. My wife and I highly recommend him.

Joe Hun (Zhu) is the best of the best. I was referred to him by my friends, whom I knew for 25 years and trust them. And!!I am very happy to have found Joe!Joe did a fantastic job on selling my house! I did almost nothing in the process in organizing viewings, coordinating buyers visits with all my tenants, checking about potential buyers concernsI literally did not have to participate. He handled the process very smoothly.At the closing he handled the buyer / seller transfers in the best possible way.He comes highly recommended!
