Today’s listing at 344 Carlton Avenue in Fort Greene is a good example of how to do a listing right: Plenty of well-photographed photos, a floorplan and a comprehensive description. Pretty simple but some brokers still are too lazy or incompetent to do it. Of course, it helps when you have a good product to pitch, which is certainly the case with this five-story, two-family brownstone at the epicenter of Fort Greene. Will it fetch the asking price of $2,500,000? Hard to say, but it’ll certainly get close to that. It’s in beautiful shape with tons of historic character with tasteful touches of modern convenience. (We like the kitchen, for example.) There’ve been no takers since it hit the market a couple of weeks ago. Have any readers checked it out?

I like that I can see the kitchen faucet in the photos, Now I can sleep tonite.2.5 mil. And a kitchen faucet that I can see I am so happy. I would buy this house I love the faucet. I am glad that did not destroy the faucet when they redid the house.Oh the faucet, I love the faucet.
To the photographer w/the real estate licsense, considering you are probably mediocre at both (only experts do one thing) your criticism about sub standard Brookyln Properties cannot hold much validity.
“the kitchen is little and pretty shitty in quality!”
Kitchen and kitchen table is half the floor, how could it be bigger?
“the house was an sro that still feels like one.”
That doesn’t come over in the floorplan, so how does it come over in real life?
hmm, there is one floor less, but wider, with perhaps more innate detail, but minus the furniture, one block over on south oxford, for sub $2m. Makes me think 2500k is too much.
houses in brooklyn are too expensive and the ones in queens aren’t as pretty but they are cheaper
Brooklyn Properties usually does take nice listing photos…But what a horrible website. No search function? Ridiculous. And the property descriptions? Awful. BP doesn’t co-broke either. Is it any wonder they are a fourth-tier real estate agency?
To the broker who wrote:
“Brownstoner why must you attack brokers? Not every owner wants their home photographed, so not every home gets photographed. Not all homes photograph well, even though they look better in person. It isn’t always a matter of being lazy.”
You’re not getting my listing, sweetie. Brownstoner is serving a hugely valuable function here in educating not just buyers and sellers, but brokers like yourself. Free consulting! You should shut your cakehole, pay attention to the advice, and get back to the business of chasing Barbara Corcoran….
6:26 here. I actually did mean Brooklyn Properties, because they always have good photos. Corcoran usually does not.
the kitchen is little and pretty shitty in quality! while the location is fine, it is not perfect. carlton is a highway in the morning. the house was an sro that still feels like one. it is not a “house tour’ property rather a mediocre place.
If you knew the quality of homes in this area you too would be questioning that all encompassing statement. The FG house tour last year and the homes that have sold in the area recently give us all some indication of the range of homes in this neighborhood.
