Hope Kurz
Licensed Real Estate Broker / Owner
I take pride in what I do and I love every aspect of the Real Estate Industry. My hard work and dedication to my clients has led to recognition and various prestigious awards within the real estate community. I have been awarded with the Accredited Buyer’s Representation (ABR) designation by the Real Estate Buyer’s Agent Council of the National Association of Realtors. I am a Diamond Club member since 2019, one of Home Snap’s top agent award winners, and I was named an Elite member of my previous brokerage.
I created Hope & Dreams Realty to run my own business all the while stringently adhering to the rules, laws and regulations that come along with it. I treat every client (seller, buyer, tenant, landlord, investor) with the utmost respect and sincerity, and I realize the importance of vehemently advocating for my clients. I am a fierce negotiator, and I am committed to getting top dollar for my client’s when they sell a home. I know the market in the Long Island area and make it a point to find homes for my buyers that will build equity.
I am committed to making the entire process as easy as possible for the clients I represent. Educating my clients every step of the way so they are informed is one of my main goals, since I believe that eliminates the stress that can come along with selling or purchasing. When I am not working for my clients, I enjoy spending time with my family. As a proud lifelong Long Islander, my favorite parts of the Island are the beaches and waterways. I look forward to meeting new clients each day. Call my office and see for yourself how Hope & Dreams Makes a Home!

I grew up in Queens, NY and relocated to Long Island over 20 years ago. Long Island is a great place to live, work and play. I entered the real estate industry with over 25 years of corporate business/human resources experience. Throughout my career, I have always been passionate about helping people reach their goals.
I'm excited to help all sellers and buyers navigate the real estate market and support them in every step of the process. Listening and understanding my client's needs, solving problems along the way and developing a personalized plan of action for my clients is a top priority. Doing business the right way, through trust and integrity, is one of my core beliefs. I pride myself on being dedicated to each and every client I work for.
During my spare time, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, discovering new restaurants, and listening to a variety of music. I'm also a huge animal lover and support several local and national animal charities.

Licensed Real Estate Salesperson
Born and raised in Brooklyn, I later moved to Queens before making the dash to suburban life here on Long Island 22 years ago where I remain today. After walking a beat for 20 years with the NYPD in NYC, I took on several ventures before finding my niche in real estate because it is here where I can continue to help people where they just want a great place to call home.
Working for my client’s interests is a passion I strive for everyday; from booking showings on a rainy day, showing patience when they struggle to settle on a home, to tackling any issues, should they arise.
I am truly excited to work alongside my Broker, Hope Kurz, who is a Long Island native, and am looking forward to working with an experienced team of agents here closely as we all work towards the same goal - A Happy and Satisfied Client!
My wife and I are passionate, avid dog lovers, who advocate, foster, and volunteer for rescue events. We love traveling the world, having been to amazing places like Egypt, South Africa, Turkey, Poland, Italy, and many other destinations. When we're more local, we love heading to the NOFO where we enjoy the many farm stands, shops, restaurants, and some of Long Island's finest wine.
I truly enjoy meeting new people everyday because it gives me the chance to see how I can help.
Like it says on the back of my card, The Next Move is Yours! Reach out to me today!

I am the person that is no stranger to working hard/long hours and has gone above and beyond to help a client.

I’ve lived on Long Island for about 20 years, and I am very familiar with all boroughs as I worked with a population who was in need.

I was born and raised on Long Island. Throughout my early adulthood, I lived in several different states and worked various jobs such as a Broadway Costumer and Shopper, a shop owner in NJ, and a Costume Designer in FL, to name a few. Here on Long Island, I've managed several businesses before settling down and starting a family. My husband, Justin, and I are happily married with 3 young children. It was when we purchased our own home that I became interested in Real Estate. In going through the entire process for the first time, I realized that there is so much about the home buying transaction that the average person has no idea about. I was intrigued by all of it and wanted to learn more. I took the class and passed the state exam in the next few months.
Since becoming licensed, I've made it my mission to educate as many people as possible about the process, legality, and minutiae of buying and selling real estate. I hate the idea that anyone may complete a transaction and feel confused or worse, taken advantage of. In my efforts to make my clients feel secure, I only work with 1 or 2 active clients at a time. This allows every one of my clients to be my top priority, and it allows me to give them as much of my time as they need. In the height of the seller's market, I've gotten the majority of my buyer clients in contract within 2 weeks, having shown them houses nearly every day and written as many offers as they asked. My seller clients are always treated to professional photography and a virtual walk through on their listings in addition to an open house, should they want it. I pride myself in being completely honest with my clients and making sure they are comfortable with their transaction. I love this career, and I look forward to guiding many more clients through ever changing markets for years to come.
