Hi everybody, just a little catching up to do. Better late than never I say. A lot of you already know Staten Island Scuba has changed its headquarters from the snug harbor to Grymes Hill (87 Longview Road 10304). What a crazy transition it was but it's done and I would be remiss if I didn't thank my real estate team who made it all possible. I have attached a happy photo of me, Dora, and the principals of Ken Licata Realty (Mr. Ken Licata and his most beautiful wife, Trisha Licata) on the day of our closing. If you're buying a house or selling a house, you'll want their professional commitment and experience the dynamic duo of the real estate industry. Ken and Trisha are both certified divers. I certified Ken's kids in scuba diving. Mr. Ken Licata is like me, when you need to get scuba certified, there's only one place to go, Si Scuba (Ryan Heaney). When you want to buy or sell real est…

The Domain Companies has had the pleasure of working with Ken and Trisha Licata on the sale of the Markham Gardens townhomes from 2010-2015. The Markham development involved the new construction of twenty-five two-family townhouses on a former public housing site. The complex project involved the participation and oversight of at least six public agencies and funding resources. The project was delivered in 2009, during a tumultuous lending environment, and faced a number of market-related challenges, including Hurricane Sandy. Ken and Trisha Licata demonstrated skill and professionalism throughout their engagement with the Markham project. Their relationships, knowledge of the housing market, and their persistence and determination helped us navigate the complexities of the Markham development and persevere through the market challenges. I wish Ken and Trisha Licata the best of luck with…

It is our pleasure to not only call Ken and Patricia Licata our friends, but also our trusted real estate representatives who handled the sale of our home with the utmost professionalism from the onset of the listing to the completion of the sale and closing. Their initial evaluation and marketing of our home were nothing short of incredible! At first, we were skeptical about placing a "for sale" sign on our front lawn. However, it was this very "for sale" sign that resulted in finding the right buyer for our home. In addition, Ken and Trisha posted photos of our home on their real estate website. As a result, we received an overwhelming amount of responses along with several offers to buy our home, all within a short period of time. It was unbelievable! There is no one other than the team of Ken and Trisha whom we would give our full endorsement and recommendation when it comes to the s…

I am the attorney/executor for the Estate of Josee McCassin and I am in the process of finalizing the estate. In reflection, I would like to relate to you my satisfaction and appreciation of the services provided by Mr. Ken Licata. It was a concern of mine that the sale of the property might present a problem. The Real Estate market was dismal at best. Several of the beneficiaries were from out of state and the idea of owning property long distance was troublesome to them. Mr. Licata was recommended to me and I was fortunate to come in contact with him. His energy and enthusiasm led me to believe that we were in good hands. His knowledge and expertise in showcasing properties were instrumental in finding a qualified buyer within a short period of time. I would not hesitate to recommend him or use his services again, if required.

I previously owned a home in Staten Island New York. This is being written acknowledging the exceptional work of Trisha and Ken Licata, who because of their vast knowledge and professionalism were able to sell our home in an extremely short time exactly 3 and a half months from our first meeting to the closing date. They had a buyer within one month of it being placed on the market. Trisha and Ken's kindness and patience with us and their presentation of the house with the buyers was wonderful! Trisha's suggestions about arranging and decorating were perfect. This all made a stressful situation a pleasurable one. Thanks to Ken and Trisha Licata, we were able to move to Florida, joining our family and sharing the Christmas and New Year holidays. Kudos to Trisha and Ken Licata, we are very grateful!

I am writing this to express my appreciation for Ken and Trisha Licata. Between 2010 and 2014 my family found itself in some stressful situations regarding the selling and buying of a home for my disabled mother. Ken and Trisha responded with professionalism and dedication that not only left me impressed but grateful. Their focus on my family's specific needs resulted in a purchase that fulfilled our requirements. Ken and Trisha Licata are not only professionals, they are caring and sincere individuals who go above and beyond their client's expectations. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Moving is undoubtedly on of the most stressful of events, and I loathed every aspect of it in the past. However, my experience with Trish and Ken was incredible. They made me feel so comfortable and confident. I never would have imagined that moving could be done with such ease. From the first moment we met, they treated us like family, taking the time to understand our wants and needs. They are extremely knowledgeable professionals, but more than that, they are kind thoughtful people who really care. I am so deeply grateful to have found them.

Christine & Richard D.

Dear Patricia and Ken, thank you for recently selling our aunt's home in Grasmere, Staten Island. Sad to see her house sold after all these years. Even more difficult to see strangers now living there but life goes on. Please convey to the new owners our best wishes. Also, let them know that their new home has nothing but beautiful and wonderful memories to build upon. More importantly, thank you both again for your courtesy, honesty, and professionalism. You made the process so easy and transparent.

Peter & Amand L.

Moving is one of the most stressful times in a family's life. Trish and Ken were able to make the transition an easier and overall positive experience. They treated us as a family by being available to really understand what our wants and needs were and were present every step of the way. As realtors, they go above and beyond their job description and we are extremely thankful for all of their hard work.

Caleb D.

Ken and Patricia Licata came highly recommended from a family friend and we are so happy that we decided to reach out! They were incredibly informative and knew all the ins and outs, in a way that only comes from decades of experience. I now too would highly recommend them if you are thinking about selling your house or finding a new place to call home.

Janet M.

Using Trish and Ken to sell our home was an amazing experience. Their expertise in marketing and advice on staging sold our home in 10 days. They were extremely professional and always available to answer all of our questions. During the pandemic, they kept us up to date on every detail while adhering to all safety protocols. We totally recommend them!

Luisa V.

We can’t thank Ken and Trisha enough for their quality and professional service in selling our home and made the process of buying our new home so much smoother than I ever could have imagined. They gave us great advice on getting our previous house ready to sell and took the time to truly understand what we were looking for in our new home.

Diana M.

Such an amazing experience selling my home with Ken and Patricia! From the first weekend, it was on the market, we had great people coming to see it, they were sure to plan things to use our time well and took all the stress out of the process. Would totally recommend Ken Licata Realty!

Ken and Patricia Licata orchestrated and followed through on the sale of my father’s house. It was a tremendously stressful time in my life and I was thoroughly pleased with how this process was handled from start to finish. I will recommend them wholeheartedly.

Ken and Patricia represented the seller in our home purchase. Throughout the entire process, both Ken and Trisha were always available to answer and questions my wife or I had. I highly recommend using them, I wish I had been with them from the start.

Ken was great to work with. He went above and beyond with everything we asked of him. He found us the perfect house and helped us get it at a great price. Will definitely recommend Ken to everyone.

Ken and Trish were extremely professional. And I'm sure their advise, staging, and marketing expertise sold our house in a week with multiple offers. Can't get better than that!
