RE/MAX Advantage Plus Realtor Jeffrey Katz
 has announced the recent integration of his two Web sites, www.JeffreyJKatz.com and www.55-Plus-Communities.com.

With the integration of the two sites, prospective buyers are provided with an 
interactive tool and one-stop shop for locating properties in the 55-and-older communities of Boynton Beach, Delray Beach, Lake Worth, West Palm Beach and other surrounding areas.



Katz said the actual integration makes JKatz.com the search part of the two and 55-Plus-Communtities the results.

“So someone enters what they are looking for in my first site and it is pre-selected for 55-plus communities, and it seamlessly goes to the other site with results,” Katz said. “So my site is the front end and 55-plus is the back end.”

His site, www.JeffreyJKatz.com, will now feature a list of every 55-and-older community home, villa and condo for sale in Palm Beach County, categorized by subdivision, price and type of housing.


He said single-family homes can go for anywhere from $300,000 to $600,000 on average.

“It is a buyer’s market for 55-plus communities,” Katz said. “I mean you can find a condo for $40,000 but you get what you pay for with that.”

Katz said a 55-plus community is basically a country-club type of community without country club fees and children younger than 18 are not allowed to live there usually.

“They usually have beautiful clubhouses and pools,” he said. “It is buying a lifestyle.”

Katz said his site has been up for about seven years now.

Upgrades also include consistently updated data, detailed property photographs, extensive mapping features and virtual tours.


Rhonda Moses, a client of Katz, who bought a three-bedroom home in Valencia Pointe, said she built her home from scratch and that Katz offered something special to her.

“Every week, he put up photos of the progress of the home,” she said. “Me and my girlfriends would go on and see what was completed that week.”

Moses said she started to look for a home last May.

“I knew nothing about looking for a home,” she said. “I stumbled upon his site and it couldn’t be easier to use. I entered in my info and got a call from Jeff no more than 20 minutes later.”

Moses said she recommended Katz to all of her friends looking for affordable, 55 and older communities.
