The more we know about you, your needs, your family, desired neighborhoods or schools, the better we can serve you in finding your next home or investment property. And while you’re educating us, we keep you informed and up-to-date on current market trends and property value. This assists us in counseling you on making the most strategic offer possible.
As your buy-side representative, we can vet any particular “off-market” buying opportunity for you. We can advise you on the appropriateness of the asking price, help you formulate a counteroffer, provide you with a cost estimate to address any deferred maintenance, identify potential capital improvement projects and most importantly we can get you in there first.
Being a long-standing and involved member of the community, and a trusted advisor to many homeowners, we are usually aware when a home is about to be brought to market. On occasion owners have decided to sell their homes without using an exclusive listing agent. We have the ability to make you aware of these type of opportunities, and connect you with these types of sellers early on.
Leveraging our network of developer clients and colleagues is another way we can provide you with a valuable and advantageous first look. We’ve been a residential developer and development advisor for years. As a result we have an insider view of the residential development pipeline, including projects still under construction, and the connections to get you to the front of the line when new units come to market.
Networking. Real estate networks are complex and vary greatly, ranging from very public listing websites, to proprietary agent-exclusive listing services. Brennan agents utilize any and all applicable outlets to find the property you’re looking for. The collective years our agents have lived and worked in New York City — from Brooklyn and Manhattan, to Staten Island, the Bronx and Queens — afford them a local expertise and ties to each community. This lasting involvement in our communities allows for greater access to insider information and a focused local perspective.
Advocacy. Buying a home is an inherently exciting process – one that our agents enjoy facilitating. At Brennan, advocacy is central to everything we do, and our team has decades of experience to help you reach your goals. To start, you can expect unbiased, candid property assessments from our agents. Our agents provide property recommendations that suit your unique needs and situation. We also make recommendations for renovations, scopes of work, and alternative floor plans to improve the property.
Strategy. In an increasingly transparent marketplace, where websites bring an extensive amount of listing information direct to consumers and where a surplus of free advice is readily available, informed buyers continue to trust in Brennan services. They know it can mean the difference between a stressful ordeal and a tailored, personal success story.
Throughout the process, our buyers receive strategic advice from the firm principal, Donald Brennan, and both market analyses and comparative sales analyses in order for you to make strategic offers.
At a minimum, selling a property requires a fair share of research, marketing, networking, and negotiation.
But when we refer to our comprehensive services, we are referring to the inclusion of details that far exceed the minimum. Here’s what we mean: investigation and research are backed by local expertise that has taken us decades to refine, which in turn, greatly informs how we list and market a property. Likewise, a keen eye for details affords us a larger audience that is ultimately more willing to meet and oftentimes exceed the asking price in negotiations.
Networking. Real estate networks are complex and vary greatly, ranging from very public listing websites to proprietary agent-exclusive listing services. That said, while Brennan places more emphasis on public venues to maximize symmetric information exchange, all applicable outlets are utilized for maximum beneficial exposure. For a more specific breakdown of the types of venues, see the diagram below.
