Why Sellers Choose Braithwaite Realty
You get more, your sale actually closes, and you never get handed off
More in your pocket
Homes sell above asking because aggressive pricing and marketing create competing buyers — and competing buyers bid the price up. That’s where the above-market results come from.
A sale that closes
Nearly every listing closes, because buyers are vetted for financing up front and the deal is actively managed through inspection, appraisal, and attorney review. No falling apart at week six.
A broker who’s actually there
You work directly with Justin from valuation to closing — never passed to an assistant — with weekly updates on showings, offers, and feedback.
How Your Home Gets Sold
A complete plan to market your home and manage the sale
Seen by the most buyers
Professional photography from top Queens shooters; full syndication across OneKey MLS (~50,000 agents) and every major platform; and targeted Google, Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube campaigns averaging ~6,000 views per listing — roughly triple Zillow alone — delivering an average of seven additional qualified buyers per home. A pre-launch campaign builds demand before day one, so offers compete from the first week.
Managed start to finish
A data-backed value range, high-ROI prep advice with vetted contractors, and the NYC homework most agents skip — Department of Buildings violations, zoning and certificate-of-occupancy checks, tax-record accuracy, and all NYS disclosures. Then offers qualified and negotiated, inspection and appraisal managed, and closing handled — including tenant-occupied sales, 1031 exchanges, and out-of-state closings.

Sellers who trusted Justin with their largest asset

— Gerald & Janet Vaughn“The most efficient realtor I’ve encountered in over a decade — present from beginning to end, even through a difficult tenant.”

— Bernice MooreThe Queens Market
Queens is a dozen markets — your price depends on which one you’re in
A single-family in Bayside, a co-op in Forest Hills, a two-family in Astoria, and a condo in Long Island City each follow their own pricing logic and their own buyer pool. A blended “Queens average” tells a seller nothing — pricing your home starts with the data for your specific neighborhood and property type.
Questions Queens Sellers Ask
Selling your Queens home — answered
On average, Braithwaite Realty listings close at 102.8% of list price — above asking — and 5.25% above the market average, through accurate pricing, competitive marketing, and hard negotiation through inspection and appraisal.
An average of 24 days to contract — about 13 days faster than the typical Queens listing — then several more weeks to close. Pricing and exposure are the biggest drivers of speed.
Commission and terms are discussed openly on the strategy call and depend on the property and scope of work — no hidden fees. The number that matters is your net at closing, which strong pricing and negotiation are designed to maximize.
Usually less than you’d think. Part of the process is identifying which improvements return more than they cost — with access to vetted contractors — and which are wasted money.
Yes. Tenant-occupied sales, Department of Buildings violations, zoning and certificate-of-occupancy issues, and out-of-state closings are all routine — handled directly, with the research and coordination managed for you.
For-sale-by-owner sellers consistently net less through mispricing, narrower buyer reach, and one-sided negotiation. The value shows up in both the final price and the speed of the sale.
