“So much for trying to diversify the brokerage firms we put up!”
Hey Brownstoner, it’s till good to see a sampling of what’s out there. After all if it were all Corcoran then we’d only have to go to their website to see open house “picks.” And anyway the big C gets it’s fair share of grief too…
I’d fire my broker if he said I was anxious in the ad.
That said, I know nothing about Victor Mineo. One thing I have noticed, however, in smaller brokers’ ads, is use of phrases like, “Owner anxious,” and, “Must sell.” What is peoples’ feelings on these — do they work? Or do they lend a certain sense of sleaziness to the ad? Basically, aren’t all owners anxious (more or less) to sell? Why is it that these smaller brokers would seem to have a higher percentage of more anxious owners?
So much for trying to diversify the brokerage firms we put up!
Re 16th street open house by Warren Lewis: Great block and beutiful houses but they are small (not really big enough to carve out a rental unit) and the FAR on the block doesn’t leave room for expansion, if I remember correctly.
Price seems about right for the block.
Was also going to chime in the C 21 is a franchise. We saw some truly hideous houses through them when we were looking, complete dumps with insane prices for what was on offer. Total turn-off and waste of time, I would do some serious research before ever going to view a house listed with them again.
I think what they meant to say was semi-prime lower South Slope. Not that I’m saying anything bad about the area. I live very close to that house and think that area is one of the best value-for-house areas left…but that is precisely because it is not considered “prime Park Slope.”
I do agree that that house is overpriced, considering the amount of work you’d need to put into it just to get it looking a little less 1970s suburban makeover. I wonder what the “pool” in the back garden is like? And 16th St between 4th and 5th is prime Park Slope?
Century 21 is a franchise. Anybody with enough money (and it doesn’t take too much) can open one. So each Century 21 office needs to be considered independently and they vary widely in terms of competance — kind of like Golden Krust — the one near me on Nostrand is a joke, but I’ve eaten at others that were awesome.
