Local knowledge
Why Long Island City sellers and buyers work with us
Long Island City is a net-effective market, and that single fact catches out most renters and plenty of owners. Advertised rents in the Court Square, Queens Plaza and Hunters Point towers frequently reflect a concession — a month or two free spread across a twelve- or fourteen-month term — so the number on the listing is not the number you pay at renewal, when the concession usually disappears and the increase lands all at once. We quote both figures, gross and net effective, and we tell you what the likely renewal looks like before you sign. On the sales side, LIC condo pricing turns on line, exposure, floor and building amenity and common charge structure far more than on square footage alone, and the difference between two units in the same building can be substantial. Transit is the constant: 7, E, M, G and the Long Island City and Hunterspoint Avenue LIRR stations put Midtown a few minutes away, which is what sustains demand here.

Answers
Questions about real estate in Long Island City
Does Jortevsky Real Estate Firm work in Long Island City?
Yes. Jortevsky Real Estate Firm handles rentals, leasing and condo sales throughout Long Island City (11101 and 11109), including Court Square, Hunters Point, Queens Plaza and Gantry Plaza. Call (516) 668-6031 to speak with an agent.
What is net-effective rent in Long Island City?
Net-effective rent is the advertised figure after a landlord concession — typically one or two months free — is spread across the lease term. The gross rent is what you actually pay each month once the free period ends, and renewals are usually quoted off the gross. Jortevsky Real Estate Firm quotes LIC renters both numbers and an expected renewal figure before they sign.
Is it better to rent or buy in Long Island City?
It depends on how long you plan to stay. With LIC's concession-driven rental market, short horizons often favour renting, while buyers who will hold a condo for several years may do better owning — provided the common charges, taxes and any remaining tax abatement are properly accounted for. Jortevsky Real Estate Firm will run the comparison on the specific buildings you are considering.
What should I check before buying an LIC condo?
Common charges, the real estate tax position including any abatement and when it steps down, the building's reserve and financial condition, and the specific line and exposure of the unit. Jortevsky Real Estate Firm reviews the offering plan and financials with you, because two units in the same LIC building can carry very different economics.
Can Jortevsky Real Estate Firm list my Long Island City apartment for rent?
Yes. We handle owner-side rental listings and tenant placement in LIC, including screening, application processing and lease negotiation, and we offer ongoing property management for owners who would rather not run the unit themselves.
How does Long Island City compare to the rest of Queens?
LIC is a new-construction, high-density condo and rental market with Midtown-adjacent transit, which makes it structurally different from the one- to three-family house markets of South East Queens. Jortevsky Real Estate Firm covers both, so clients relocating between them get continuous representation.

Also looking at Brooklyn?
Brooklyn sits next to Long Island City and trades differently. We cover both, so a search that widens does not mean starting over with a new brokerage.
