Brown Harris Stevens | Bold Honest Smart

Carolyn Joy has always worked in real estate. She began her career at the New York office of Brazilian investor, Julio Bogoricin, learning the art of negotiation in English and Portuguese. Ambitious and independent, she quickly moved to open her own successful real estate brokerage representing property owners drawn to her business model of personal, intelligent and dedicated guidance.

Carolyn joined Brown Harris Stevens in 2003, realizing the firm’s impressive dominance of the New York City premium residential real estate market and extensive partnerships with leading real estate companies throughout the world would enhance her ability to represent a growing client base. At Brown Harris Stevens she continue to expand her market reach, empowering clients buying and selling their Condos, Co-ops and Townhouses throughout Manhattan. She brings to each transaction her proven insight and ability to find solutions before there are intractable problems, throughout a career that boasts hundreds of closings representing the buyer, seller and often both.

Dual licensed, Carolyn balances her time between New York City and Westchester, where she is one-half of the Tishelman Joy Platinum sales team at Houlihan Lawrence. Her rare perspective and complementary cross-market knowledge have served her clients well. Carolyn attributes much of her success to enduring relationships with agents working outside of the Manhattan market, who steadfastly refer their clients to her for representation.

Carolyn is fluent in Portuguese and Spanish and conversant in Italian and French, having spent one year in Brazil with American Field Service and majored in foreign languages at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.

She believes in and supports the important work of such organizations as New York’s City Harvest, The Southern Poverty Law Center, Amnesty International and Doctors Without Borders. Carolyn is exceptionally proud of her three children: Julien who is currently serving in the Peace Corps., Genevieve who works in Public Policy in London and Philip who is pursuing a career in music.
