Scott Harris, a top producing residential real estate agent at Brown Harris Stevens is credited with a 2023 total of $168,414,000 of New York City residential real estate sales and rentals and out of market referrals closed and in contract.

Highlights of Scott’s annual activity include:

• More than $105,000,000 of New York City residential properties sold.
• 56 total transaction sides, 28 of which Scott represented the seller as the exclusive listing agent, and 28 where he represented the buyer.
• 16 transactions over the city’s fourth quarter average sale price of $2,015,401.
• In the fourth quarter alone, Scott and his team successfully closed a total volume of $20,752,290 and secured newly signed contracts totaling $50,000,000.

Encouraged by current market interest and activity, Scott shared, \”Money on the sidelines is moving into the real estate market as buyers recognize the value of real estate at its current pricing. Buyers will remain in control of the market, but more of them will be competing for these opportunities.\”

He believes that \”Negotiability in the resale market will be property-by-property and neighborhood to neighborhood,\” and confidently predicts that unrenovated homes will continue to sell 10-15% — and in some cases 20% — below comparable renovated listings.

Prioritizing client service and combining proven market expertise with timely research, Scott and his team help buyers and sellers identify and secure opportunities in cooperative apartments, landmarked townhouses and condominiums throughout Manhattan and Brooklyn.

For home sellers, the team implements a proprietary process to create a unique branding campaign and multi-faceted marketing strategy. Such targeted campaigns have resulted in matches with delighted homebuyers that exceed expectations. Features on social media, television, and domestic and international publications have also contributed to a business based largely on referrals.
