Co-op of the Day: 21 South Portland (Revisited)
When the owners of this parlor floor co-op on much-lauded South Portland Avenue in Fort Greene had it listed last Fall for $829,000, a bidding war broke out but the owners ultimately had to not sell it when they themselves were outbid on the house they were trying to buy nearby.

When the owners of this parlor floor co-op on much-lauded South Portland Avenue in Fort Greene had it listed last Fall for $829,000, a bidding war broke out but the owners ultimately had to not sell it when they themselves were outbid on the house they were trying to buy nearby. Now it’s nine months later, and, with the help of new-kid-on-the-block House By We (brainchild of Bed-Stuy-living, Brownstoner-reading, Wooster-Group-acting Ari Fliakos and his wife), the 1,175-square-foot two-bedroom is back on the market for $948,000. Will they get it? Probably, given the location, the unusually large size and the original details. (We know that kitchen ain’t for everyone but we think there’s something endearing about it.) Have there been any other parlor floor sales in the immediate area recently?

I’m sorry, but I went to the open house for this place last weekend and there was no second bedroom, just one small bedroom tacked on to the back of the building.
Are they counting the living room as a bedroom?
i think it’s kind of a good idea and I’M NOT CONNECTED WITH THE COMPANY in case anyone is wondering. but then again, interms of the company’s services to buyers, isn’t this what a buyer’s agent would do.
I’m sure they’re FSBO-helpers, non-brokers, non-6%ers.. Altho I can’t see what they’ve added to this listing. I wouldn’t want to pay them even 1% (10k!)
I don’t see any contact info. for the seller on the NYT listing. Am I missing something?
I don’t get it. . . what is housebywe. . .
Are they real estate agents, glorified fsbo helpers or what?
Why pay them if you could sell thru a regular agent?
why use a marketing firm when they got a midding war all by themselves last time?
Looks very nice, but $950k seems awfully steep for a place with just one bathroom.
What’s the matter with the kitchen…it’s excellent. Very European – looks like a kitchen from the south of France. So much better than the cherry/stainless/granite crap we see. All things that will scream “your house was redone around 2005″…
I hope they get their price.
