We are Capri Jet Realty, Corp., and we serve Long Island City, New York for residential and commercial transactions. We help buyers and sellers with condos, coops and multifamily properties, and we bring local market experience, legal and contractor contacts, and a complimentary tax consultation to LIC transactions.
Our Long Island City presence and how we help
Capri Jet Realty started as a North Brooklyn practice more than three decades ago. Our office is based in Brooklyn, and we are active in Long Island City because the neighborhood lies close to our core market and shares many buyers and sellers with nearby Williamsburg and Hunters Point. Robert Napolitano founded the company and built relationships across Queens and Brooklyn that we still use on behalf of clients. We coordinate with attorneys, mortgage brokers, stagers and contractors, and our in house tax specialist Mario Saggese, CPA, provides a complimentary tax consultation for clients who need it.
In Long Island City we work on a range of transactions. If you are looking for guidance from a licensed agent, see our Real Estate Agent page. For people focused on ownership options in LIC, we regularly handle listings and offers for condos, coops, and multifamily properties.
What Long Island City buyers and sellers need to know
Direct answer: Long Island City is a fast evolving neighborhood with a mix of new construction condominiums, converted coops and older multifamily buildings, and that mix affects pricing, financing options and timing. Buyers should know whether a building is a condominium or a coop, because approval processes and financing differ. Sellers should expect different buyer pools depending on whether a property is aimed at owner occupants, investors, or buyers relocating from Manhattan.
Local factors that shape transactions
- Proximity to Manhattan, subway hubs and commuter routes affects buyer demand and pricing.
- Newer condominium towers often come with monthly common charges and amenities that influence resale value.
- Coop purchases involve board approval and specific governing documents that buyers must review early.
- Multifamily properties are evaluated for rent roll stability and cap rate, which guide investor offers.
Neighborhoods and nearby places we serve
Long Island City sits next to Hunters Point and Court Square and includes landmarks every buyer or seller will know. We work across LIC and the surrounding Queens neighborhoods, and we also serve clients relocating between Brooklyn and Queens, including Williamsburg. To learn how location affects pricing and lifestyle, see our Neighborhood Guides.
Common Long Island City needs we handle
- Purchasing a condo near Gantry Plaza State Park.
- Selling a coop with board requirements and documentation.
- Evaluating a multifamily building for investment potential.
- Relocating from Manhattan or Brooklyn and timing the sale or purchase.
- Coordinating inspections, contractors and closing attorneys.
Watch out: In Long Island City, building type matters. Coops and condos have different approval timelines, fee structures and paperwork. Start the review and financing preapproval process early so you can respond to offers without delay.
How we work in Long Island City
We follow a local first approach. That means real market context for pricing, scheduled viewings near transit hubs, and coordination with our network for inspections, staging and legal work. Below is how we typically move a transaction forward.
- Market review. We run a comparative market review to set pricing expectations and show where LIC properties are trading.
- Search and showings. We schedule targeted showings near the neighborhoods you prefer, keeping commute and amenity access in mind.
- Offer strategy and negotiation. We present offers that reflect contract terms, board timelines and lender requirements. For more on offers and negotiation, see our Offer Negotiation resource.
- Coordination to closing. We work with attorneys, mortgage brokers and inspectors to keep the timeline clear and practical.
Key takeaway
Long Island City combines new construction and classic New York building types. Working with a broker who knows LIC, Queens and nearby Brooklyn neighborhoods helps you price correctly, manage approvals and close with confidence.
