“Prestigious awards line our office for consistently selling the most properties, being the Top Listing Agent for our company and east side office, as well as, being the Relocation Broker of the Year.” - Elaine Clayman
Elaine's professionalism and integrity stand out in the field. A born marketer, her creative insights have helped realize outstanding results for her clients. Before joining Brown Harris Stevens, she was president and founder of the Elaine Clayman Realty Group. Her company garnered unprecedented national media attention when she introduced the use of the American Express card to the brokerage community, employing well-known, former Mayor Ed Koch as her spokesperson. Elaine brings this creative marketing to the sellers whom she represents.
“The way she marketed our apartment was effective considering that we sold it within weeks and received more money for our apartment than we ever dreamed possible.” – Marian F.
Continually sought out by major media outlets and industry associations as a leading residential real estate expert and thought-leader, Elaine's marketing triumphs have been heralded in The New York Times and Crain's New York Business on several occasions. She was named one of Manhattan's “Premier Brokers” by both New York Living and New York Magazine and appeared on Bloomberg News, New York Home, The Real Deal, Mann Report, smartmoney.com, WABC-TV, and WFUV Radio as an industry expert. She is also honored as a top agent in “TopAgentGuide,” a Zagat-type guide of the top 100 agents.
Elaine and her team provide extensive end-to-end service and support for their clients and customers. She has created a team of functional specialists. She has changed the old way of doing business and has introduced a new paradigm – a new way of doing business. From initial consultation through accepted offer, she establishes aggressive, yet realistic, objectives for clients. Her analysis informs them of current market trends, and serves as the foundation of a comprehensive marketing plan for their property. By comprising a sound pricing strategy, Elaine helps clients secure the highest price that the market will bear in the shortest amount of time.
"Working with Elaine was very easy. She came in, saw our apartment and then seamlessly guided us thorough the process. She was always in control. Elaine sold our apartment extremely quickly, at a price that we wanted even in this economy. She and her team worked tirelessly – day and night – to complete the transaction.” – Linda B.
When showing properties, Elaine highlights features using lighting, home staging and other presentational techniques to create an inviting, comfortable atmosphere for buyers. No one is ever turned down for a showing because Elaine has a powerful marketing team of professional brokers who work for sellers as well as buyers, and four support staff — all licensed. As a result of her proven ability to market homes in “lifestyle” buildings, Elaine and Justine were appointed Broker Specialists for Brown Harris Stevens-managed luxury residences, 1199 Park Avenue and 422 East 72nd Street, also known as The Oxford.
Before launching her real estate career, Elaine's entrepreneurial spirit took her from teaching, to owning and operating an art gallery in Nyack, N.Y., to working as a fee-based financial manager, where she became enamored with the service business. Elaine is also an accomplished fine artist. Her daughter and partner, Justine, joined the group almost twenty years ago and continues the family tradition of consistent results-based success. Elaine is very proud that Justine has become her partner and together they look forward to achieving great results for their clients.
In an effort to give something back for each completed transaction, Elaine and Justine practice donating to charity with every check they receive.
