Brown Harris Stevens

Ian is one-half of the McGowan|Joy team at Brown Harris Stevens. He has a well-deserved reputation as an innovative and results oriented professional and his commitment to the highest level of service and expertise combines with a personal approach rarely found in the world of New York City Real Estate. The McGowan|Joy Team is recognized for its “hands on” methodology to listing properties with strong emphasis on creativity and design while buyers benefit from the team’s skilled analysis and keen understanding of value in the New York City marketplace.

Originally from Greenfield, Massachusetts, Ian graduated from Connecticut College with a BA in Economics and Dance. He moved to New York City 15 years ago to pursue a career in modern dance, performing with numerous “downtown” dance groups. His trajectory changed after just a few years, but he remained in the city raising a family and thriving on New York’s energy, culture and optimism. In his spare time, Ian enjoys listening to opera, playing golf and sharing good wine and food with friends. He is the proud father of a 7 year old daughter, Saya, (who is also not a bad dancer.)

“My compliments concerning your good design, communication skills, and excellence in keeping me informed as well as caring how I feel about what is happening. You and Ian have been more than agents, you have treated my husband and me with concern for our wellbeing and care.” – Shannon S.

“Dear Carolyn & Ian, Thank you for handling this most important transaction. You rule!” – Barbara L.

"Well, I'm thrilled. You guys did a fabulous job. You really worked so hard to get this sold in such a short time. I’ve never had realtors like you and I've bought and sold lots of houses. Thanks again for making this a painless experience." – Mark R.
