“Offer made, and was told accepted, then waited forever for official confirmation.”
We had that happen with two separate houses. In one case, the sellers accepted our offer but continued to show the house and look for a better offer (which they got); in the other case, it seemed the seller was not really selling at all but just finding out what his house was worth. It is very frustrating but what can you do? The broker was not MKG, either time.
i just found out about this blog and decided to check it out. I am fasinated with the comments about Mary Kay Gallagher. I’ve known Mary Kay for many years. Back in the 70’s nobody wanted to go near Victorian Flatbush. She became involved in Real Estate to save her neighborhood. she was the only broker who wanted to sell in the area and she was able to attract and convince young families with modest incomes to buy in an area that was considered dangerous.
Mary Kay saved the neighborhood along with the pioneering families who bought homes and then brought their friends to the area to buy.
Those who are critizing her don’t know the history of the neighborhood and should do some research on the neighborhood in the 70’s– lots of crimes, people were nervous walking at night and from the subway etc etc. you certainly would never go near Prospect Park on the Parkside side in the evening and not many ventured there during the day. This has all changed. And Mary Kay and other community residents and activists can take credit for the change.
Now that the houses are sellling for high numbers other brokers have come in and have tried to trash her. I’ve dealt with some of those others brokers and I wouldn’t trust them as far as I could throw them. You don’t have to like Mary Kay, but one does need to respect her honesty. If anyone has an issue with her ethics and/or honesty, I strongly recommend that you take your case to court. Action speaks louder then words.
I do hope your blog focuses on the housing stock and not cater to people who have decided to dislike Mary Kay.
Thanks J.M.B.

PLEASE fix the links….this is useless.
I like Mary K. Gallagher. If I was shopping around for a vicorian in the Ditmas Park are a I would definitely look her up. I was subletting a condo that she was selling a few years ago, and she was always very considerate and friendly.
noticed one drawback on my glowing endorsement of house in bay ridge. only 16 x 35 which is a little short for these houses. however i will say my house is listed as 16 x 40 and is actually 16 x 53 on the first floor with prexisiting extention and upstairs has 3 small bedrooms and is only 16 x 37. so the house dimensions on my house are off!! plus some houses on property shark list the basement in square feet, mine doesn’t causing the sf price to be high. i’m not quite sure why this is ,but have gone into smaller houses which are listed with more square feet.
Hey Mr. B,

as a person in bay ridge the 52 76th street is a possible great deal if the inside condition is nice. this price is very low for an unattached house in prime bay ridge on one of my favorite streets in the neighborhood. this street only runs for 1 block and is tree lined on both sides. i would love to trade my attached house on 88th street for this. only negative is not ps 185 and is ps 72 instead. these houses tend to be small but trust me this is well priced. of course you have to like bay ridge, i for one am going to try to make the open house. and i am definitly not the broker.
