About Willy Kahl
Mission Statement
As your Long Beach Island Realtor and the LBI Waterfront Specialist, I will continue to provide valuable statistical data and analysis to guide the LBI Buyer or LBI Seller to make informed decisions about all Long Beach Island properties.
My Expertise
Specializing in all LBI real estate since 1992. Also specializing in Oceanfront and Bayfront properties, CAFRA state waterfront rules & regulations.
I publish the Oceanfront and Bayfront Newsletter with statistics of all MLS Oceanfront Sales since 1992 and all MLS Bayfront Sales since 2007. The data includes average sale prices on oceanfront and bayfront properties, LBI single home oceanfront and bayfront sales spreadsheet, Supply vs. Demand curve, and data analysis.
My Real Estate Career
I specialize in waterfront properties on LBI and have over 18 years experience in all property sales on LBI.
I achieved my realtor license in 1989. Initially, I worked for a large Real Estate Agency that was family owned. In 1992, I became LBI’s Oceanfront Specialist and started accumulating data on all oceanfront homes available for sale and those that sold. I now have a very attractive Long Beach Island database on waterfront properties. After receiving salesperson of the year awards and being honored as a top producer several times, I decided to move my career one step further.
In 1999, I became a RE/MAX agent an was a motivated outstanding producer.
Recently in 2010, I started a new office-LBI Realty Group. After much thought and consideration, I have decided the time was right for me to venture out and establish my own Real Estate Agency.
After working with many oceanfront buyers since 1992, I realized that sometimes the oceanfront buyer turns into the bayfront buyer. For this reason, fifteen years later I have decided to expand my data base to bayfront homeowners also.
As of February 2007, I began to specialize in Bayfront properties on LBI. But as always, I look forward to dealing with all LBI properties and highly appreciate any referrals leading to a Long Beach Island property sale.
Thinking of buying or selling a property on LBI, call the expert who knows state C.A.F.R.A. waterfront rules and regulations, procedures for applying for permits and time limits associated with permits. Call the pro who has been through most bayfront and oceanfront properties as they have sold through the years. Whether using me or not in your next real estate transaction, please give me the opportunity to show you what I can do for you.
My Background
I grew up in Maplewood, New Jersey and my parents owned and operated Maplewood Toyland – a toy store for all ages!
Beginning in 1970, my family rented on LBI for two years, and then bought our first vacation home here. There is no better place to grow up than LBI!
In 1985, I graduated Rutgers University with a double major of mathematics and computer science, and a minor in economics. My employment included programming mainframe computers for seven years creating distribution and accounting systems. I had the pleasure of working for companies such as Pharmacia in Piscataway, NJ.
Although, LBI was always my weekend home, I wanted to be here all the time. In 1992, my sister was already selling real estate on LBI, so I began working with her and partially teaching at Southern Regional High School. By the end of the year, I was a full time top producing LBI Realtor!
It was that winter that I became LBI’s Oceanfront Specialist, creating newsletters and articles on all oceanfront sales. Recently, I added Bayfront data to the articles and became LBI’s Waterfront Specialist. NJ State CAFRA rules, regulations and waterfront properties are my specialty but I pride myself with selling all properties on LBI.
