Brown Harris Stevens Senior Vice President Margaret H. Velard began her career in real estate in 1985. She joined Brown Harris Stevens after 8 years at The Corcoran Group and 12 years with Douglas Elliman. In each context, Margaret has consistently found herself among the top producers company-wide. Of her many accomplishments, Margaret is most proud of her role as Broker Specialist for the Hotel des Artistes, 1 West 67th Street, where she has been involved in the sale of over 30 apartments. A graduate of Smith College, Margaret left a successful career in advertising for real estate. Residing on the Upper West Side with her family led Margaret to specialize in the neighborhood, and as a result, a large portion of her business comes from this vibrant community. In recent years, Margaret has successfully branched out to the rest of Manhattan, helping buyer and seller alike on either side of Central Park. Margaret's real estate philosophy is simple: Clear, concise communication is the key to representing any buyer or seller. Because she listens so carefully and understands both her customers and clients, her deals are unbelievably quick and painless for all parties involved. Her unerring accuracy in pricing apartments results in major satisfaction for sellers, and her impeccable knowledge of inventory, buildings and cooperative board requirements proves invaluable to buyers.
