Francis Akachukwu

Francis Akachukwu Jr. is the founder and CEO of Akachukwu Properties, a full-service real estate brokerage serving New York City with a focus on Brooklyn. With six years in New York City real estate and more than 21 years of experience in sales, leadership, and client service, Francis has closed more than $19 million in residential real estate sales and earned a 5-star Google rating from past clients.

Francis represents buyers and sellers throughout Brooklyn, including Bed-Stuy, Prospect Heights, Crown Heights, Ditmas Park, and Clinton Hill. His experience spans condos, co-ops, single-family homes, and multi-family properties, with an emphasis on helping clients understand value, negotiate effectively, and make informed decisions without unnecessary pressure.

His path into real estate began with his own home search. Francis and his wife spent nearly six months visiting more than 180 open houses before finding the right property. The experience gave him firsthand insight into how overwhelming the buying process can feel and ultimately inspired him to build a career helping others navigate it with greater clarity, preparation, and confidence.

Before entering real estate, Francis spent two decades in the fitness industry, eventually serving as an area director for leading health clubs including Equinox, Lifetime, and David Barton Gym. Managing multiple locations, leading teams, and training more than 200 employees taught him an approach he still uses today: listen first, understand what matters most to the client, and build a strategy around their goals.

After settling in Brooklyn, the borough he now calls home, Francis built his real estate career at The Corcoran Group before founding Akachukwu Properties. Today, he brings a disciplined, client-first approach to every transaction, combining local market knowledge, strong communication, careful preparation, and a long-term perspective on real estate as both a home and a wealth-building asset.

His goal is simple: to give clients the information, strategy, and representation they need to move forward with confidence.
