“Why hire just another agent when you can hire the broker?”

Brooklyn broker Joanne Gay, who’s been in the real estate profession for 20 years, established her own brokerage firm a few years ago. Her impressive reputation has been built upon reliability and experience, which is why the majority of her practice comes from client referrals and repeat business-she has been working with some New York landlords for nearly 20 years now.

After job stints on Wall Street and at the New York Department of Finance left her professionally unfilled, Joanne started exploring other opportunities for a more satisfying career. She discovered that real estate offered the stimulation she was looking for. The skills she developed from her previous jobs gave her a unique understanding of changing markets.

As a third-generation New Yorker who grew up in Brooklyn, her specialty is in servicing the borough’s brownstone neighborhoods: Park Slope, Prospect Heights, Windsor Terrace, Sunset Park, Kensington, Brooklyn Heights, Cobble Hill, Carroll Gardens. As a broker, she offers sellers and landlords the advantage of having their property handled by professional that has more well-rounded experience than a real estate agent, and she can create the right marketing plan to get a property rented or sold, no matter what the current market conditions may be.
