Elise Witkin and Julie Smith, both Associate Brokers, are one of Brown Harris Stevens’ most successful real estate teams. They have been partners for over 30 years, resulting in over a billion dollars worth of sales. Since joining the company in the early 90s, Elise and Julie have been consistent members of the Producers Council, Gold Club, Platinum Circle as well as longtime members of The Real Estate Board of New York.
The New York brokerage community has consistently acknowledged them as top brokers. Ethical, professional and reliable are just a few words that are used to describe them. They pride themselves on the relationships they have built with their clients. They understand their clients’ needs whether it’s finding the perfect home or selling a home that’s been in the family for years. From the Village to Columbia University, from the Far East Side to Riverside Drive, Elise and Julie have earned the trust of satisfied sellers and buyers. They have done this by working hand in hand with their clients to make the outcomes they’ve dreamt of, a reality. This commitment to doing their best for both buyers and sellers coupled with their strong work ethic has proven a successful track record resulting in over 95% referral and repeated business. Their solid knowledge of Manhattan real estate along with their vast sales experience makes them a valued asset to Brown Harris Stevens Residential Sales, LLC.
Prior to joining Brown Harris Stevens, Elise served as Vice President for a prestigious public relations firm. She then went on to start her own personal shopping business. Elise currently lives on the Upper East Side.
A native New Yorker, Julie has a degree in Art History — which explains her unique understanding of residential architecture — and another in Psychology — which explains her empathy and understanding of what buyers and sellers go through in New York’s bewildering real estate market. Julie still lives on the Upper West Side with her family and their new puppy.
