WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

A. Page

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.
Bruce F.

Consulting with Don was more than just real estate, it was life planning. We appreciated his integrity, which is so rare today.
Harry K.

For all of the stereotypes of real estate professionals out there, Brennan breaks the mold. I can't imagine buying, selling, renting, or investing personal property in NYC without them.
R. Dalton

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 me the unbiased advice we needed and valued.
K. Mastronardi

I have had the privelge of knowing and working with Donald for over 5 years. During this time, Donald has always shown excellent judgement 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).
Sam & Makenna R.

We are so very grateful to Joe for helping us find our dream home in Park Slope, Brooklyn! He was genuinely interested in understanding our priorities, talked us through each step of the process, and provided invaluable advice and opinions. Joe is professional, personable, and relentlessly hard working and was pivotal in helping us find a perfect condo in a gorgeous Brooklyn Brownstone.

I can tell you, that I thank my lucky stars every day that I trusted my instincts in working with Donald. He has such a high level of integrity and deep understanding of the luxury market for townhouses and condominiums in Brownstone Brooklyn. He has a composed, trustworthy nature that is different from the fast-talking style that most real estate agents exude, however, I think of this as a positive attribute. This, coupled with his clear understanding of the value of your investment, and a strong sense of the market, will work to your advantage when selling your home. He completely understands how to get the highest price possible, while being a great human being to work with.
N. & K. Gould

Donald and the team at Engel & Völkers Brownstone Brooklyn (EVBB) 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 townhouse. Throughout the process (in which EVBB represented our interests in both transactions) their expert advice and calming influence provided the reassurance we needed to manage such a challenging situation. What EVBB provides that no other firm can equal is the unbiased, expert information and advocacy needed to make smart decisions in a competitive market. We felt well informed and well taken care of throughout the process. We knew that Donald genuinely cared about the outcome and would do everything possible to make us happy in the end – which we were!
Ryan C.

Joe is an exceptional advisor that you can trust. As a first-time buyer, I was apprehensive about the process, but Joe's expertise, patience, and unwavering support instilled confidence in me every step of the way. His genuine kindness, coupled with his unparalleled knowledge of the real estate market, made the entire experience truly remarkable. Without a doubt, Joe is an invaluable asset to anyone seeking a trustworthy and experienced advisor. He’s a great guy!
Unnamed

Everyone we worked with at Engel & Völkers Brownstone Brooklyn was highly professional, and because they have worked with so many people on the buy side, they have a great understanding of what potential buyers are interested in, and they are able to answer any and all questions and represent a properly as it should be represented. Donald and his team helped make the NYC real estate process completely hassle-free (which is no small thing). They have our strongest endorsement for services on the sell side, or the buy side, and we look forward to continuing to work with them on all our real estate needs.
S.Y. Kim & B. Gray

Engel & Völkers Brownstone Brooklyn 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 apartment painted, photographed, and printed a beautiful singular brochure just for our apartment. He did all of this work while we were away. In turn, our apartment sold at asking price within a month of it being put on the market. It was a completely pleasant, effortless journey filled with trust and open communication. We came away with everything we could have hoped for. To say Donald did his job well is an understatement.
Ethan & Anna

We had the great pleasure of working with Joe for the purchase of our first home in Brooklyn Heights for our growing family. What began as a professional relationship quickly evolved into a friendship. Joe's unwavering passion for real estate, commitment and personalized approach to fit our needs not only ensured a seamless home-buying experience but also left a lasting impact on our lives. We wholeheartedly recommend him for his exceptional passion, service, care, and invaluable friendship.
Susan A.

Joe isn't just a real estate advisor; he smash records by selling not one, but two of my properties in Brooklyn Heights and Park Slope. He also navigated every challenge with laser focus and celebrated every milestone with me. His infectious enthusiasm and deep market knowledge made the whole process stress free. If you're looking for a top-notch real estate experience with a trusted advisor and friend by your side, look no further than Joe. You won't regret it!
Morgan K.

Joe is a consummate professional and a pleasure to work with. He combines Brooklyn market expertise with a sensitivity to his clients' needs and aspirations. Joe's representation ensured our Downtown Brooklyn condo transaction was handled seamlessly and I've already recommended him to many friends!
