Doors we’d walk you through this week.
All homes
Open doors this weekend
Walk in, no appointment. One of us opens every door.
Shoes off is fine. Questions about the board, the basement or the block are better.
A note from the broker
“I only take on homes I’d be happy to walk my own family through.”
I spent eleven years at a large Manhattan brokerage before opening Doorlist on Seventh Avenue, two blocks from where I live. Three neighborhoods is as many as one person can know properly: which co-op boards are slow, which basements stay dry, which sellers will take a quiet offer.

How a sale works with us
Four steps. One person on the phone for all of them.
01
A walk, not a pitch
We meet at the house and walk the block together. You hear what we’d change and what we’d leave alone.
02
A defensible price
Recent sales within six blocks, adjusted for floor, light and condition. No inflated number to win the listing.
03
We host viewings
Every open house and private showing is hosted by one of us. Never a stranger with a key box.
04
Board to keys
Lena assembles the board package and keeps the closing calendar, so nothing waits on a missing form.
Where we work
Fifteen minutes on foot, end to end.
We don’t take listings outside these three. It’s the only way to know which blocks flood and which boards are slow.
01

Brownstones, the park, and the best Saturday on Seventh Avenue.
From $1.1M · 4 min to Prospect Park

Fort Greene
Italianate rowhouses, a farmers market, and BAM around the corner.

Left on the door
After closing, clients hang a note on the door they bought. These are a few.
Drag the hangers around. Every note is from a real closing, lightly trimmed.

What do you charge to sell a home?
Our fee is agreed in writing before we list, and it covers photography, floor plans, staging advice and every viewing. There are no add-ons later.
Do you work with buyers too?
Yes. About half of our work is helping people buy in the same three neighborhoods. Sam runs private viewings for buyers.
How long does a co-op board take?
Most boards in our area take four to seven weeks from a complete package. We tell you which buildings are slower before you make an offer.
Can you value my home without a visit?
We can give you a range from recent sales, but we’d rather walk through. Light, layout and condition move the price more than square footage.
Why only three neighborhoods?
Because knowing a place properly takes years. It’s the difference between guessing and telling you which block floods.
Thinking about selling next spring?
Book a thirty-minute walk-through. You’ll leave with a price range and a list of what to fix, and what to leave alone.
