Why Long Beach Homeowners Sell To Prime Realty Buyers
Long Beach has a different selling profile than Island Park or Atlantic Beach. Its own city government, school district, building department, and tax structure. Housing spans pre-WWII summer-cottage walks, post-Sandy elevated rebuilds, oceanfront condo high-rises, and 1950s Capes. When a Long Beach property goes up for sale, the seller usually wants someone who knows what they’re selling.
City of Long Beach jurisdiction. Long Beach is the only barrier-island city in Nassau County. The City runs its own building department, code enforcement, police and fire, school district, sanitation, and tax structure. Permits, COs, and code-enforcement notices pull from City records, not the Town of Hempstead. Property taxes run higher than surrounding TOH hamlets because the City pays for its own services. Open City permits and missing COs are situations we close around every month.
Pre-WWII West End bungalow walks. The West End and central pocket streets are full of pre-WWII bungalow walks, rows of original 1910s through 1930s summer cottages converted to year-round homes decade by decade. Original Walk owners are now in their late seventies, eighties, and nineties. Original galley kitchens, original 60-amp panels, partial knob-and-tube, Sandy-era patching, and back additions without final permits are common. Retail lenders flag every piece. We don’t.
High-rise oceanfront condo and co-op concentration. Long Beach has more oceanfront condo and co-op buildings than any community on Long Island. The Bal Harbour, Channel Park Towers, Brookline Towers, Sea Pointe Tower, and the rest of the Boardwalk-facing buildings hold thousands of units, each with their own board and approval process. Co-op boards review every buyer and reject some. Condo boards have right-of-first-refusal and pending special assessments. We buy units, work through board packages, take on pending assessments, and close on units retail listings struggle with for months.
Hurricane Sandy plus FEMA flood zones plus Risk Rating 2.0 insurance pressure. Sandy hit Long Beach hard in 2012. The Boardwalk was destroyed and rebuilt by 2014. Today the FEMA V-zone runs along the oceanfront blocks, and AE-zone covers most of the rest of the island. Annual flood insurance ranges from $4,000 to $25,000-plus depending on elevation. Risk Rating 2.0 has been pushing premiums higher each renewal. Some sellers are leaving specifically because the insurance is no longer affordable.
Other reasons sellers call us:
- Job relocation, often to Florida, the Carolinas, California, Texas, or back overseas

What Long Beach Homeowners Say
West End Bungalow Walk Original Owners Since 1968, Downsizing After Fifty-Six Years
My husband and I bought our West End bungalow on a Walk off Beech Street in 1968. Originally a 1924 summer cottage, converted year-round in 1959. We raised three kids in a thousand square feet, all three through Long Beach as Marines. Last spring we decided to downsize to North Carolina. The bungalow had the original galley kitchen, the original 60-amp panel, partial knob-and-tube, a 1981 back addition without a final permit, and Sandy-era patching twelve years old. Prime Realty Buyers respected what the bungalow represented, gave us 60 days, and the for-sale sign never went up.
Oceanfront Co-Op Unit, Inherited, Co-Op Board Approval Issues
My uncle bought his oceanfront co-op in central Long Beach in 1986. He never married, no children, passed last winter. I was named executor from Phoenix. The unit had a Boardwalk-facing balcony, a 1999 kitchen, and a co-op board that two retail buyers had already failed to get past during the four months I tried to list it. Income-to-share ratios, interview requirements, right-of-first-refusal. Prime Realty Buyers signed during probate, worked through the board package, and closed within a month of Letters Testamentary.
Three-Family Park Avenue Rental, Tired Landlord, Mixed-Paying Tenants
I bought a three-family on Park Avenue in 1998. For about fifteen years it was the best investment I had. Sandy hit in 2012 and I rebuilt the first floor with FEMA help in 2014. The last few years have been a slog. Insurance kept rising under Risk Rating 2.0, the second-floor tenant has been paying late for two years, and the third-floor tenant stopped paying in May. I came from Santo Domingo in 1989 and I was sixty-four when I made this call. Prime Realty Buyers walked it, listened to each apartment, gave me a fair number, and closed in twenty days.
Italian-American Family Cape, Sandy Survivor Now Selling After Insurance Non-Renewal
My husband’s grandfather bought our Long Beach Cape in 1953. He worked the original beach hotels, his father came from Naples in 1922. Four generations. Sandy put five feet of saltwater through the first floor in 2012. We rebuilt with FEMA grant money and lived another twelve years. Last fall our flood carrier exited the New York coastal market and the only quote we could find was nearly double. Combined with the City tax bill, the holding cost no longer made sense. Prime Realty Buyers respected the family history, gave us 75 days, and the cleanout was on them.
Inherited High-Rise Condo, Out-Of-State Heirs, Pending Special Assessment
My mother bought her oceanfront condo in 1991 and lived there thirty-three years. She raised me in that unit and sent me through Long Beach Marines. She passed last spring. I’m in California, my brother is in Texas. The condo board had just announced a major special assessment for post-Sandy capital work, nearly fifteen percent of the unit value. Two retail buyers walked when they got the disclosure. Prime Realty Buyers signed during probate, took the assessment into account in the offer, coordinated signings between California and Texas, and closed twelve days after Letters Testamentary.

Frequently Asked Questions
My Long Beach property is a pre-WWII bungalow walk original. Will you still buy it?
Yes. Pre-WWII West End and central bungalow walks, original 1910s through 1930s summer cottages converted to year-round, with original galley kitchens, original 60-amp panels, partial knob-and-tube, and back additions without final permits are exactly the type of property we close on regularly in Long Beach. Retail lenders flag every piece. We don’t.
My unit is an oceanfront co-op with a board approval requirement. Will the board hold up the sale?
Less than it holds up a retail listing. Co-op board approval is a regular part of our Long Beach work. We submit complete board packages, sit for the interview when the board requires it, work through right-of-first-refusal periods, and close on units retail buyers have failed to get past. Boards reject some buyers. They generally do not reject prepared local cash buyers with proof of funds.
My condo just got hit with a major special assessment. Does that kill the deal?
Not with us. Pending special assessments, capital reserve calls, post-Sandy or post-storm capital work, and other major condo-board hits are situations we factor into the offer rather than walk away from. Two retail buyers will typically walk after the disclosure. We don’t.
Long Beach is its own City. Will an open City permit, missing CO, or high tax burden stop the sale?
Not with us. Open City of Long Beach permits, expired permits, missing COs from City records (separate from Town of Hempstead records), and code-enforcement notices are situations we close around. The City tax burden is built into how we price every Long Beach property because the City pays for its own services.
What about FEMA V-zone or AE-zone designation, and what if my flood carrier just non-renewed?
Less than it affects a retail listing. V-zone on the oceanfront blocks and AE-zone across most of the rest of Long Beach are factors retail buyers and inspectors flag every time. Insurance non-renewal and private carrier exit situations create real selling pressure under Risk Rating 2.0. We factor zone into our offer and close fast when the renewal clock is the constraint.
I own a two-family or three-family in Long Beach with tenants in place. Some are paying and some are not. Can you still buy?
Yes. Two-family, three-family, and small multifamily rentals with paying tenants, non-paying tenants, holdover tenants, hostile tenants, Section 8 or HUD voucher tenants, and any combination are a regular part of our Long Beach work.
Does Long Beach UFSD school district affect your offer?
The Long Beach district is one factor retail buyers price for, and we factor it in too. The bigger advantage of selling to us inside the district is privacy. The Marines community is tight, multi-generational, and connected through school events, the boardwalk, and the West End summer culture. An off-market sale skips the public listing.
Can you buy a Long Beach property still in Nassau Surrogate's Court probate, with heirs across Florida, Italy, the Dominican Republic, or Israel?
Yes. We sign contracts during probate every month and close once Letters Testamentary or Letters of Administration are issued. Multi-state and multi-country heir coordination, plus multilingual signings across Spanish, Italian, Hebrew, French, and Haitian Creole, are part of how we operate.
Do I need to clean out the property first?
No. Take whatever matters. Photos, family heirlooms, the Sandy-era family records, the rebuilt-kitchen documentation, the FEMA grant paperwork. Leave the furniture, the appliances, the boxes, the bungalow basement contents, and the condo balcony storage. We handle every piece after closing.
How fast can you close on a Long Beach property?
Most Long Beach closings happen in 7 to 21 days. Co-op closings can take a few weeks longer to clear board approval, but we sign first and work the package on parallel tracks. Need it faster because of an insurance renewal date, a storm-season deadline, or a foreclosure auction? We can usually accommodate.
Will a sale to you show up publicly anywhere?
The closing is a public record at the Nassau County Clerk, like any sale. The property is never listed publicly during the process. No MLS, no Zillow listing, no sign in the front yard, no public price drops, no open houses. The first many neighbors, fellow Walk owners, condo board members, or fellow Marines parents hear about it is when the new owner shows up.
Ready To Sell Your Long Beach Property Without The Listing Drama?
