ummer on Long Island is a whirlwind of activity, with endless ways to have fun in the sun and on the water from Memorial Day through Labor Day. For top brokers like Jennie Katz, unwinding between showings and client meetings means spending time at the beach with her dogs or boating with friends and family. She also appreciates good food, fresh air, and quality time with loved ones.

Owning a home brings a sense of control and rootedness in an uncertain world.
