About Marcia

Marcia has lived and worked in the DUMBO/ Brooklyn Heights community since 1989. She came as an urban pioneer, a painter and teacher, after falling in love with the abandoned 19th Century industrial waterfront architecture including the building she now calls home. She became an early homeowner by convincing her artist neighbors that investing in the community was a wise decision.

Marcia has lived and worked in the DUMBO/ Brooklyn Heights community since 1989. She came as an urban pioneer, a painter and teacher, after falling in love with the abandoned 19th Century industrial waterfront architecture including the building she now calls home. She became an early homeowner by convincing her artist neighbors that investing in the community was a wise decision.

As the daughter of an army surgeon settling in for the first time in her life, home meant something profound to her. Her commitment to help build the foundation for her fledgling community came naturally. Marcia dedicated herself in many ways, including serving on the initial planning board for Brooklyn Bridge Park (BBPLDC) as state congresswoman Joan Millman’s representative. Because she recognized the distinctive characteristics of the neighborhood, she initiated and saw to completion ten years later the landmarking process of DUMBO. Marcia also sat on the land use committee for Community Board 2 to shepherd zoning changes that would replace the outdated industrial with mixed-use residential zoning. Marcia brings to the table exceptional artistry, commitment, care to the process of buying and selling a home.

TESTIMONIALS:

Working with Alex and Marcia on our recent apartment purchase in Dumbo was an absolute pleasure. Their attention to detail and professionalism came through in every interaction. They offered candid insights, which made us feel well-informed and confident in our decisions. Alex and Marcia's teamwork was seamless and we had great coverage throughout the process. Their knowledge of the market was advantageous, and they didn’t hesitate to point out the cons as well as the pros of each building we considered. We appreciated their guidance and would highly recommend them to anyone looking to navigate the real estate market in Dumbo. - Margaret and Matt B.
"Alex and Marcia helped us through the entire process of buying a condominium in Brooklyn. It all started with some clear and very knowledgeable descriptions of the different types of properties available in each Brooklyn neighborhood. This included the price ranges we could expect. Next up was a carefully triaged list of potential properties that allowed us to quickly understand the market range. Based on our feedback, they took us on a series of tightly focused and well-planned property visits. During the viewings, Marcia and Alex helped us to fully understand each property, its pros and cons. They were able to alert us to potential hidden issues, which to the uninitiated would have been impossible to unearth.
With Marcia and Alex’s help, we quickly homed in on a building and then on a specific apartment. Alex and Marcia guided us, step by step through all the processes and negotiations. Their superb professionalism saw us through to the purchase of a fantastic property in downtown Brooklyn.
They work exceptionally well as a team, each with a different skill set but an overlapping desire to make sure you get the right property. We would whole heartedly recommend them to help you on your buying journey.” – Huw P. and Deirdre P.
