HOTD: Broker Switcheroo at 777 Rugby Road
When 777 Rugby Road last popped up on this blog, it was asking $950,000 and being listed with Mary Kay Gallagher; now the price is $975,000 and Corcoran has taken over the job. We’re a little surprised that the property hasn’t sold yet, but a commenter on the Open House Picks thread suggested some reasons:…

The other reasons the house could be priced under the 1 million mark is that West Midwood stretches all the way down to Avenue H, has a lot of active red-bricking in that part of the nabe, and is quite a ways from Prospect Park and the ever improving amenities of Cortelyou Road. You need your car for groceries, etc…, whereas Ditmas Parkers and Park Westers, PPS residents and the Beverley crowd can easily get away without one most of the time.
Nevertheless, seems like an odd strategy to bump up the price on a place that hasn’t moved yet.

OK- lets talk about Corcoron, instead of this lovely house.
I just sold my 2nd PS property. First time out, I went with Corcoron. My apt sold in 8 hours. Corcoron brought in people who had not thought about living in PS, they were coming from Manhattan and looking at a variety of neighborhoods.
This time around I went with a local broker. She worked her tail off and in the end it was a co-broke situation that made the deal. She knew the area, and the other broker had the clients with the cash. In fact, all of the offers at asking price that I got were from Manhattan based brokers. You guys are looking at the broker situation with narrow minds. Start approaching this as sales and marketing pros- you will make much more money the next time you try to sell something…
what attitude?
Maybe the sellers got tired of Mary Kay and her attitude.
it looks like the last of the three identical postings is correct. maybe the person hit preview and it posted? lighten up..i don’t think anyone intentionally wanted that thing posted 3 times! but I do agree with them!!!!
Hey – it was corrected in version #2 and #3!
oooooooooooooooo aren’t you all clever
I wish people who write “webnuts who work their”, meaning “there” wouldn’t write about others being illiterate.
I wish people posting messages would only hit the send button ONCE!
more and more brooklyn agencies DO cobroke..whether they are forced to or by business sense it doesn’t matter…but they DO. Corcoran is full of BS with their sales pitches..Barbara built a beautiful company and an amazing website…the numbnuts who work there now follow a script, are brainwashed and 90% end up failing. the bully tactics win. they do no more than the other companies when it comes to open houses or marketing but the name carries and they win. half the agents at corcoran can barely spell their names
