Charles has always been fascinated by real estate so naturally what began as a much loved hobby has now become an extremely fulfilling career. Encouraged by several well respected brokers in New York City and The Hamptons, Charles joined Brown Harris Stevens in 2004 and in just a few years has become a top broker at the firm.
His Achievements Include:
2006 Rookie of the Year Brooklyn
2007 & 2008 Townhouse Broker of the Year Brooklyn
2007, 2008 & 2010 Listing Broker of the Year Park Slope
2007, 2008 & 2010 Broker of the Year Park Slope
He has been quoted by the New York Times and The Wall Street Journal as a specialist in high-end Brooklyn real estate and has been from his inception in the business in 2006 the firm's top listing and selling broker of townhouses and brownstones in Brooklyn's best neighborhoods with over forty-five (45) such transactions to his credit. As a former insurance broker specializing in work with investment bankers and other business professionals on matters relating to mergers and acquisitions and large corporate divestures, he is able to draw upon his excellent sales and marketing skills while approaching his work from the perspective of a former customer.
Charles makes certain he is involved in all aspects of the transaction and consults with sellers to determine the most effective marketing strategy including proper pricing, market evaluation and most importantly working with his colleagues at the firm and with other participating companies to maximize the property's exposure. Charles often brings in a trusted team of stagers, carpenters, painters and landscapers to increase the property's marketability. He will also arrange for the appraisal and consignment of furnishings with Christie's and other reputable auction houses. It is part of the complete selling experience that makes Charles uniquely different from other listing brokers.
He is often asked to lend his professional advice and guidance to townhouse buyers as well as to purchasers of cooperative apartment and condominiums who are either unfamiliar with the market or, who are seeking assistance with the due diligence aspects of their purchase. His goal is to achieve the highest selling price for his sellers and broker the best deal for his buyers whatever the market conditions. Dedication and an honest approach in his work with both clients and customers is key. His extensive knowledge of the Downtown Brooklyn market makes him the consummate dealmaker.
