The award winning Elaine Clayman Group at Brown Harris Stevens is acclaimed for having organized an innovative business model designed to provide top-shelf residential real estate services helping sellers and buyers achieve their goals.

As founder and president of the group with over two decades of experience, Elaine is one of the most respected and successful top brokers in Manhattan. The group is comprised of over twelve team members including licensed staff who support clients throughout the sales process. Renowned for its team of associates, it never turns down an opportunity to sell an apartment it represents. No interested buyer is turned down for an appointment. Every opportunity for a bid is available.

Elaine created the group based on a belief that the finest service to a seller or buyer requires single minded expertise in each and every area of the transaction process. This is achieved by functional specialists who serve sellers and buyers at every juncture. Spearheaded by their Director, Justine Bray, salespeople understand and constantly monitor the needs of customers. Salespeople are completely familiar with every property on the market. They are supported by client relationship managers who assist with questions that sellers and buyers may have for managing agents, attorneys, or others.

Elaine’s primary focus is marketing all of the group’s exclusives and negotiating all of the group’s sales. A master negotiator, she believes properties cannot receive maximum exposure unless every available avenue is explored. When a buyer identifies a property they choose to bid on, Elaine negotiates the sale. For more than two decades, she has successfully negotiated approximately one hundred transactions annually. Most recently, Elaine was named by New York Magazine as one of New York City’s “Premier Brokers” and by The Real Deal as one of the “Top Three Listing Brokers” in Manhattan. Creative marketing is Elaine’s strength, exemplified by engaging Ed Koch in 1998 when she had her own firm as her spokesperson in the arrangement she negotiated with American Express allowing sellers to charge their brokerage fee to their AMEX card. An especially strong relationship with the press frequently enables her to obtain property coverage at all price points. Elaine brings experience and savvy to negotiating for the seller or the buyer.

The group is supported by Managing Director/Transaction Manager Stewart Grodzitsky. Once Elaine has successfully brought about a meeting-of-the-minds between seller and buyer, Stewart facilitates contract negotiating, including conversing with attorneys, mortgage brokers, and managing agents. Sellers and buyers benefit from his experience. The group’s sales volume places Stewart among top professionals in bringing to closing even the most difficult transactions. Stewart’s financial background qualifies him to review board packages as a prerequisite for closure. Buyers and sellers appreciate being supported through this process.

Client relationship managers support salespeople and the transaction manager. Weekly sales activity reports are generated for sellers including information about the number of appointments, responses to showings, web traffic, market conditions and even suggestions about staging. The client relationship managers arrange for photography and crisp floor plans and brochures, expose the property to other salespeople, arrange appointments, retrieve relevant documents needed for attorney review, and answer all questions. Through their effort, the group operates expeditiously, enabling sales to move smoothly.

Elaine Clayman created the group’s special model based on her belief that providing fine service to a seller or to a buyer requires expertise in each and every aspect of the transaction process. Serving her clients best is the job of every single member of the team.
