I’m looking to buy a co-op or condo. I’d love to buy a fixer-upper with original details I can restore/repair over time. I’m open to any level of renovation all the way through gut rehab. What are the best real estate firms for condos/coops needing work in the northern brownstone brooklyn neighborhoods (Park Slope especially) ??

  1. you have to keep up on the leg work. check broker websites, NYT, and make frequent calls. no broker really specializes in fixer-uppers. and in NY, especially prime areas, there are hundreds of other people looking to do the same thing: buy low, renovate, sell high. that’s why you’ll rarely see a place that’s actually cheap. and why so many places with charm/period details are snapped up and stripped and remodeled with the home depot treatment.

    good luck.
