JUST SOLD | 1818 Newkirk Avenue, 1T | $405,000
We’re thrilled to announce the successful closing of our exclusive sales listing at 1818 Newkirk Avenue, 1T.
This was an estate sale on behalf of the family of longtime Brooklyn resident Eleanor Nurse Jemmott and marks the second property we’ve successfully sold for the family, following our $1.59M sale of 499 East 24th Street in 2023.
From the outset, timing was critical. The apartment faced the possibility of an auction, so we moved quickly to list the property while giving the family time to prepare the home and coordinate a move.
The market responded. Over the course of the sale, we secured three accepted offers, including one at full asking price. Unfortunately, the first two buyers ultimately withdrew after due diligence raised concerns related to the building’s finances and ongoing construction.
We regrouped, stayed persistent, and eventually found the right buyers — a wonderful couple renting nearby in Kensington who submitted an all-cash offer.
After negotiations, board approval, resolution of the building assessment, and several nerve-racking weeks waiting for documentation required to complete the estate sale, we finally crossed the finish line.
Three accepted offers. Two fallouts. One successful closing.
This transaction required patience, communication, persistence, and strategy from beginning to end — and we couldn’t be happier to have helped our clients get it done.
Congratulations to our sellers and the new owners of 1T!
