rec for HouseByWe for buyers/sellers broker and reno mgmt

A recent post made me realize I have been meaning for months to post this recommendation…

I recently used Erin and Ari of HouseByWe (www.housebywe.com) as a buyer’s broker, and they were totally, totally invaluable! Doing a home search on your own–going to a million brokerage houses, talking to a million agents, scouring the real estate listings of every firm every day can be exhausting, to say the least. Someone here recommended I check out Housebywe instead, and I did. Particularly since I was living out of town at the time, it was just what I needed. They did all the scouring and vetting for me, and we talked regularly so they could get a good sense of what I wanted (and they even helped me figure out what that was, as it evolved over the search). When they finally found the perfect place, they were absolutely right. They had tons of invaluable advice and perspective, having gone through the process themselves and knowing the ins and outs of real estate in Brooklyn, Brooklyn neighborhoods, brownstones and old buildings generally, renovation, etc. They helped us through the whole buying process, made great recommendations for inspectors, contractors, etc. And, they are incredibly pleasant, smart, great people to work with.

Obviously, I can’t recommend them highly enough. Ah–and in case it’s not obvious, it didn’t cost me a penny. As a buyer’s broker, they co-broke with the seller. (Though they do offer selling services, as well.)

Also, their business included renovation project services. They can take the headache out of a big renovation by managing the whole thing for you.
