The new division will provide comprehensive commercial real estate services throughout Long Island and the greater New York metropolitan area, representing investors, developers, landlords, tenants, business owners, institutions, and owner-users across a broad range of commercial property types.

He also served as Vice President of Real Estate for one of New York City’s largest retail organizations, overseeing a substantial portfolio of high-profile commercial properties.

“Commercial real estate has been the foundation of my professional career for more than three decades,” said Stempel. “The launch of our Commercial Division is a natural evolution of Blue Island Homes. We are bringing together institutional-level commercial expertise with the personalized service, responsiveness, and integrity that have defined our residential brokerage from the very beginning.”

The Blue Island Homes Commercial Division will provide a full spectrum of commercial real estate services, including:

Blue Island Homes has twice been recognized as Best Boutique Real Estate Agency on Long Island, reflecting its commitment to professionalism and results.

“From the beginning, our vision has been to build a brokerage known for expertise, integrity, and exceptional service,” said Jennie Katz, President of Blue Island Homes. “Expanding into commercial real estate allows us to serve our clients at an even higher level while creating new opportunities for investors, landlords, developers, and business owners throughout our region.”
