I have had the privilege of knowing and working with Donald Brennan for over five years. During this time, Donald has always shown excellent judgment in identifying – and honestly accessing – value and developing insights in the Brownstone Brooklyn real estate market. Importantly, Donald never tried to sell me anything (property or services). He has always made his position clear and left it up to me if...

We met Donald Brennan a few years ago while looking at some of the beautiful apartments and buildings he’d developed in Brooklyn Heights. We remained in touch, and when it came time to sell our own pre-war apartment in Park Slope, it was an easy decision to ask Donald to help us find a buyer. When a friend asked why we didn’t go with one of the larger real estate brokerage firms, we explained that as an ...

Donald and the team at Brennan Realty Services helped us navigate an extremely complex double transaction in which the sale of our existing apartment needed to closely coincide with the purchase of our new house. Throughout the process (in which Brennan represented our interests in both transactions) their expert advice and calming influence provided the reassurance we needed to manage such a challenging...

I was chatting with Donald Brennan and he mentioned meeting the owners of 32 1st place and I knew that had to be you and Ben. I’m not sure exactly what you guys are planning. I know when we chatted briefly you were looking to sell and build on your Brooklyn Heights lot. I wanted to just put in an unsolicited plug for Donald. He’s been such a wealth of knowledge for me. In the last year, his knowledge ha...

My wife and I owned two adjacent townhouses in Cobble Hill, and Don Brennan (Brennan Realty Services) helped us over a number of years selecting rental tenants but also making design decisions, while we performed extensive renovations. The courses of action we considered varied greatly in terms of funds required and possible structured outcomes. While we are experienced in construction, the design de...

Brennan Realty was recommended to us by friends. We wanted to sell our apartment in Prospect Heights, although we were living upstate and we were infrequently in the city. So, Donald met us with our kids in a hotel during a brief stay over in Manhattan. We were impressed with his detailed presentation, but we were wowed when we saw it put into action. Within a very short amount of time, he had our apartm...

My wife and I spent several years bouncing between listing agents while trying to find a home to purchase in Brooklyn prior to approaching Donald to help guide our search as a buyer agent. Donald’s willingness to share his impressive knowledge across multiple facets of Brownstone Brooklyn real estate provided the unbiased advice we needed and valued. Donald introduced us to an off-market property his off...

My husband and I are relocating from Switzerland to New York in November and are looking to buy a townhouse in Brooklyn. We are in touch with a major brokerage and I have been getting to know Streeteasy.com intimately but I feel that a broker with real Brooklyn knowledge like yourself who is not tied to any particular mainstream Realtor® could be invaluable to guide us to understand the current market, c...

Donald and the team are amazing. They met and exceeded our every expectation. I can’t say enough about the advantages of going with this boutique firm over one of the bigger ones. There is such a difference when you feel like the #1 priority. Every question is answered in minutes, not days, and every concern was treated with respect, patience, and understanding. In such a difficult market, I never imagin...

Donald, your ‘Let’s Talk Real Estate‘ event was far more helpful than we could have imagined, and we sincerely appreciate your efforts! We couldn’t make it to this month’s discussion, but will definitely recommend them (and your services) to anyone we come across who may be looking to rent or buy in the area. We got the impression that you are very honest and straightforward, and trust your judgment and ...

Donald and everyone at Brennan Realty gives life and validation to the theory that bigger is not always better. It was so refreshing, after some inconsistent and occasionally mind-numbing experiences with other firms, to work with a group of dedicated, diligent professionals who just get it. If one is endeavoring into the dizzying world of uncertainty that is NYC real estate, look no further than Brennan...

The help you gave us through-out the bidding and closing process was instrumental. Many thanks for understanding our needs/constraints. You have made our first-time purchase a very smooth process. We are very happy in our new apartment.
