House of the Day: 282 DeKalb Avenue
Jerry Minsky’s got another gem of a listing in Clinton Hill. This Montrose Morris-designed Romanesque Revival house has tons of original charm as well as some newer touches like an island kitchen and recessed lighting.

Jerry Minsky’s got another gem of a listing in Clinton Hill. This Montrose Morris-designed Romanesque Revival house has tons of original charm as well as some newer touches like an island kitchen and recessed lighting. It’s hard to dispute the charm factor on this one, but it’s the price that’s going to be tougher for some people to take: At the asking price of $2,200,000, the 2,200-square-foot house is priced at $1,000 a foot. It’s fair to say that this is rather aggressive for the neighborhood. How much of a premium should the architectural lineage command?

every name is ethnic.
11:30 You obviously haven’t worked for Jerry long. Were you hired after Corcoran was sited for discriminatory practices. My FICO score was over 820 and I had a large down payment from the sale of a previously owned property. Should I look up the HUD link so that you and everyone else can once again view the report?
“ethnic-sounding surnames”
change your name.
otherwise, stop whining.
Huh? Since when do you have to show pre-approval for an open house? Are you kidding me? I’m not 12:14, but I know exactly what 12:14 is talking about. It’s very common. But brokers really do themselves AND the sellers a great disservice by discriminating this way. My husband and I have the money in hand–we’re cash buyers–but we look kind of grungy and have ethnic-sounding surnames. You wouldn’t believe the second-class treatment we receive from a *handful* of brokers as a result. Many other more professional and astute brokers are aware that potential and serious buyers come in all shapes and sizes, especially in NYC, and that’s where we’ll take our business.
it’s a little thing called pre-approval, 12:14.
anyone looking for a home in today’s market without one is an idiot.
Hey idiotic female african-american broker’s assistant: I don’t show up to open houses with a copy of my bank statement. So, how can Jerry judge whether I have green? He makes a discriminatory judgement of people on their gender, color, ethnicity, clothing, etc.
This house has a twin also by Morris on Hancock between Thompkins and Marcy and I hear the old lady that lives there wants to sell for 800K
8:33pm – get a clue. People wouldn’t complain about JM without a cause. I have had personal dealings with the guy, and he is a slimeball who is, to quote “gross, crass, insensitive and unfair”. I don’t feel that way about all RE agents…
As far as the house goes, I drive on deKalb everyday – and that would be one of the reasons I would think the house is overpriced – too much traffic.
Ewwww, that Dear 9:03 people comment from the agent who works with Minsky is exactly why everyone hates Minsky.
