House Joke of the Day
This listing is just silly. First of all, a house like this would have a hard time getting $1.4 million in friggin’ Park Slope. Secondly, the broker claims the 224 Avenue I address is in Midwood. We consulted with the High Priestess of Victorian Flatbush real estate, Mary Kay Gallagher, who has a detailed map…
This listing is just silly. First of all, a house like this would have a hard time getting $1.4 million in friggin’ Park Slope. Secondly, the broker claims the 224 Avenue I address is in Midwood. We consulted with the High Priestess of Victorian Flatbush real estate, Mary Kay Gallagher, who has a detailed map of the area’s neighborhoods. This, being west of Ocean Parkway, doesn’t even make the cut. Thirdly, if you’re going to slap a ridiculous price on a house, at least put some interior photos up. One good thing about the more sober market is that it should gradually weed out pie-in-the-sky listings like this that only waste people’s time.

I respect Mary Kay based on her standing in the community, and yet I also agree that she can come across as pretty rude. I decided not to make an offer on a house because of her attitude (she wouldn’t answer basic questions about the house.) I kind of attribute it to her advancing age, because so many people assure me that she is a lovely person.
How would a 2 family with a garage have a hard time selling for 1.4 in park slope?
It sounds like the sale price includes membership to an exclusive, private club.
for all other parts of brooklyn, best do a drive by. realtors doesnt matter. see a place you like and has for sale sign just call. and they’ll be happy to show you without having to goto some office. just show up at the place a certain time.
In short, brownstoner is an ignorant.
The fact that he consulted Mary Kay Gallagher shows me that he doesn’t have a clue as what brooklyn is all about.Otherwise why would he need to consult? it shows that brownstoner doesn’t have a clue as what’s going on in brooklyn beside meager park slope.
Also comments on other areas overtime shows his lack of understanding.
It looks to me that the fellow opererating this site are total amatures sort of old ladies gossiping in the supermarket. This site has no credibility as what is going on in brooklyn and if you taking/follow advise from it you’ll not go far. You may wake up one day selling your house too cheap or buying one too expensive. This site is entertainment at best. I own propreries in park slope and ditmas park
and it looks to me that someone here is angry to see another areas going up more or at least as park slope. Idiotic!
Will jerks never stop posting? “Jew tax?” Do you think you can be even more offensive?
Anon at 1:49 – I sort of agree with you on Mary Kay. She can be completely off-putting and is not exactly the most professional, user-friendly broker in the world. Having said that, please don’t give up on the neighborhood just because she is difficult to deal with. I have now lived in the area she covers for a while and, other than my horrible experiences with her when looking (I turned away from houses I might otherwise have bought at first because she was so condescending, didn’t return calls for periods, etc…), I love the area more and more each day.
If you go to the broker website it says that 224 Avenue I is the address of his office
It’s the “jew” tax.
Kosher restaurants, el al, houses near the shul. Always expensive.
Incidentally, the brooklyn orthodox community owns big (really big!) chunks of New York real estate yet live in humble houses in boro park.
Looks can be extremely deceptive.
