Familiar faces at realty ribbon cutting

On Tuesday, July 23, The Bayport-Blue Point Chamber of Commerce held a ribbon-cutting ceremony for Century 21, KR Realty, formerly Century 21, Bay’s Edge Realty Inc., at their new location on Middle Road off of Main Street in downtown Sayville. 

Broker and owner Nadav Kauderer said he was “excited” to open the new office alongside his additional offices in Selden and Lawrence.

With experience in New York real estate commencing in 1986, Kauderer’s background in both residential and commercial transactions has helped him cultivate a well-rounded brokerage practice.

In addition, Kauderer has experience as a developer and maintaining mixed-use properties.

“A lot of my agents over the years have been from Suffolk County and that kind of shifted me into opening up an agency in Suffolk,” said Kauderer.

Among the demographics served by Kauderer’s Century 21 agencies are the Latino population, and Kauderer said a lot of the existing company’s business is conducted in nearby Patchogue.

“They are a hardworking community and we give them the opportunities; we work with a lot of bankers,” said Kauderer.

As a broker, Kauderer said his role is more in supporting his team and does not compete with them directly for sales.

“Salespeople formerly of Century 21, Bay’s Edge Realty Inc., that you know, trust, respect, and call as friends are always here for you and you will get to meet the new agents that have joined the Century 21 team,” said Rae Lerner, a realtor who has been a part of both KR and Bay’s Edge teams. “They are all eager to share their knowledge with you and are dedicated to making your real estate journey a smooth and successful one.”

Councilman John Lorenzo (R-4th District) awarded Kauderer with a proclamation from the Town of Islip and said, “Small business is very important for the infrastructure of my district. What we try to do is be as business-friendly as possible—to open up a business in our district, to keep them thriving, to funnel some business their way as in people, foot traffic, and getting their name out there. Business is something in my district I’m very passionate about; I have a business in the district myself.”

“I believe that celebrating new businesses is the cornerstone of building a strong business community. A ribbon cutting helps to introduce the local businesses and puts faces to the—this builds camaraderie and a willingness to join together to support the local economy and community. In today’s age, any opportunity to interface in a three-dimensional, face-to-face way yields far greater returns than any other way. Truthfully, I always feel more hopeful for the future after attending these events,” said chamber president, Karl Auwaerter.
