A 14-agent brokerage covering Park Slope, Fort Greene, Boerum Hill, Carroll Gardens, and Cobble Hill. We don't take listings outside our blocks — which is why our sellers close 9 days faster than the Brooklyn median.
Every Monday morning our agents publish what they saw over the weekend — open-house traffic, what got bid up, what sat. Subscribe to read the next note Monday at 7:14am.
Every agent at Doorway covers one or two neighborhoods only. They walk them on weekends with their dogs.
Doorway showed us 12 homes total and we bought the 9th. They knew which ones we'd actually love.
Sold our brownstone in 9 days, 8% over ask. Hana brought 41 people through the first weekend. We'd already accepted by Tuesday.
We'd worked with three agents before. Ines just knew Carroll Gardens — the contractor she recommended saved us $44,000 in due-diligence finds.
We split 50/50 with buyers' agents like every Brooklyn brokerage. We don't haggle and we don't bait. Pick what fits the listing.

For sellers under $1.5M we work on the standard 5.5% structure (2.5% buyer's agent + 3.0% listing). The flat-fee option is reserved for listings $1.5M and above where the math works out in the seller's favor. We don't take listings we can't service properly.
About 18% of our 2025 sales were off-market — sellers who wanted to test interest before going public. We don't push it; some homes sell better on MLS with full exposure. We'll tell you which yours is.
Compass and Sotheby's are great when you want a national network — second-home buyers in Aspen calling a Compass agent in Brooklyn. Our 14 agents only work these five neighborhoods, so if your buyer is somebody who already lives within a 30-minute walk, we usually know them. Different jobs, different shapes.
Our 2025 median was 14 days to accepted offer, then 47 days to close — 61 days total for a typical brownstone. Co-ops with board approval add 4–6 weeks. We'll give you a property-specific timeline at the intake walkthrough.
Co-ops are 28% of our volume — we work board packages constantly, especially in Park Slope and Cobble Hill prewar buildings. We keep a sheet of which Brooklyn boards approve fastest, which ones flag self-employed buyers, and which ones absolutely will not approve pied-à-terre uses.
Tell us a neighborhood, a budget, and what you can't live without. We'll send you three listings on Monday.
