Howard Kirsch

Howard comes to Halstead with an entrepreneurial spirit and an uncompromising work ethic. Having lived in the Park Slope area since 1983, Howard has seen many of the wonderful residential changes throughout the neighborhood that have made it one of the most desirable places to live in NYC. Now, he has joined forces with his wife, Jill Kirsch, an attorney by training and a seasoned real estate professional with over 20 years of title insurance experience. Together, they bring current and future residents a combination of a service business spirit with a comprehensive knowledge base to assist them in smoothly navigating the selling or buying of a home. For the past 15 years, his company has provided cash services to nearly 100 large luxury residential buildings primarily in the New York City marketplace. Working with property managers, architects and developers, Howard has acquired a significant sales and negotiation skill set and insights into what residents expect from services offered to them. Additionally, he has enjoyed a perspective on how to deliver those services through the lens of ownership's requirements. Howard grew up with construction and real estate discussions around the family dinner table. He was the 3rd generation to join the family business of structural steel and miscellaneous steel fabrication and erection. Through his work in construction, Howard has a special appreciation for architectural design and construction. A legacy to his family's business can be found at the structural steel entrance canopy of the Millennium Hotel across from the WTC. "Howard is the most generous, clear, and considerate broker that Paul and I met while we were recently finding a place. He helped us navigate the chaos of NYC real estate with class and grace." - Sarah G. and Paul P. "Howard was a superlative broker, and far exceeded my expectations. He listened carefully to what I was looking for in an apartment, exercised exceptional judgment, and very quickly came back with a well-curated shortlist. We looked at four or five apartments, including one I would never have found on my own, and which I loved, and am now living in. I could not be happier. Throughout the (very quick!) experience Howard was prompt, courteous, tireless, and, on top of that, good company. He was critical not only in finding the apartment, but in putting together the application, advising me on best practices, and representing my interests with the landlord. I cannot recommend Howard enough. An exceptional broker." - Meir K. Halstead Brooklyn, LLC
