great picture! so many terrific blocks like that in Greenpoint, especially off Franklin, which by the way, is blowing up as a shopping/destination street. great new restaurants in that area as well.
i find myself walking over that way now from williamsburg for brunch.
10:17 …I echo your sentiments. I know this gentleman. I drove my nephews back and forth to his program in the 80’s. They passed their regents with flying colors under his tutoring.He demanded excellence then as he does now.He is a great educator.
I suppose babs is recommending that the buyer also finances closing costs and attorney fees? Rediculous.
BABS is the slimest of all
real dirtbag
SInce no one has said so far, I love the Bed Stuy school story.
I share the Y on Bedford with these kids and they are great! Really proud of Bed Stuy.
Babs may be rich, but she’s repulsive. I wonder if she’s kicking herself for selling the Corcoran Group in 2001 just before the doubling and tripling of home prices.
Even if you buy into it it’s factually inaccurate. Where can you get an investment property with 20K down in this market? A studio in Jamaica Queens that you can rent for 800 a month? What a joke.
“You can never out-save the real-estate market…”
Pure broker propaganda. Pure lie.
Has the lovely Ms. Corcoran ever suggested that anyone in any circumstance not buy a house? I don’t think so.
