A private NYC real estate brokerage built around one side of the deal: yours.
Senior-level representation across Manhattan, Brooklyn, and the Hamptons — with up to 1.5% of the purchase price returned to you at closing.
On a $3M home, that’s $45,000.
What Most NYC Real Estate Brokerages Won’t Tell You
Every New York purchase carries a commission — typically 5–6% of the price, paid from the deal and split between the two brokers. The half that goes to the buyer's broker exists because of you. At most firms, it simply stays with the buyer's broker.
At BRN, half of our commission — up to 1.5% of the purchase price — is returned to you at closing, wired directly or credited against your closing costs. On a $5M home, that's $75,000.
It isn't a promotion, and nothing about the service is reduced to make it possible. BRN was built around the buyer — and in any deal we touch, we sit on one side of the table only. When a firm is organized that way, returning part of the commission stops being generous and starts being obvious.
01 — Connect
A confidential conversation about what you're looking for, your timeline, and how we work. We'll tell you plainly whether we're the right fit — and if we're not, we'll say so.
02 — We Go to Work
Search, financial analysis, building due diligence, negotiation, board package — handled directly by the partners. Nothing is passed to someone who doesn't know your transaction cold.
03 — You Keep What’s Yours
At closing, half of our commission — up to 1.5% of the purchase price — is returned to you. Not negotiated each time, not contingent on anything — a standing feature of every BRN transaction.
Most brokerages are built for volume. We’re built for precision.
Most NYC brokerages run on volume — hundreds of agents, transactions divided across whoever’s next in the queue. BRN is a boutique firm built around partner-level attention. When you work with us, you work directly with senior partners — from first call to closing.
Our backgrounds are in finance, law, and real estate development — and it shows in the work. We read building financials the way analysts read balance sheets, prepare board packages the way lawyers prepare filings, and negotiate from pricing history rather than instinct. In this market, that's the difference.
Manhattan & Brooklyn
We work across New York City’s most sought-after neighborhoods — from Manhattan co-ops and condos to Brooklyn brownstones and townhouses.
Whether you’re buying on the Upper West Side or in Brooklyn Heights, we bring the same rigor to every transaction: deep market knowledge, precise negotiation, and a closing that puts money back in your pocket.
The Hamptons
We extended our practice to the East End to serve clients purchasing in both markets — or making their first move outside the city.
The same senior team. The same standards. The same return at closing.
What Our Clients Say About Working With Us
“From the first call to closing day, we worked directly with the partners — financial analysis, building due diligence, negotiation. The $62,000 returned at closing was real money. The work that led up to it was the reason we’d hire them again.”
— Robert K., Brooklyn Heights brownstone buyer
A short conversation — your goals, your timeline, an honest read on the market. If we're not the right fit, we'll tell you.
