Howard comes to Brown Harris Stevens 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 third 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.
We were very fortunate to be able to work with Jill and Howard Kirsch in the purchase of our first home in Manhattan. To begin with, they took the time to educate us as first-time home buyers and went out of their way to understand our needs. They worked tirelessly on every aspect of the search from providing the information about the market in general and specific neighborhoods in particular, scheduling showings, and drawing our attention to the important details during each showing, to negotiating and putting together offer packages and purchase applications. They tended to every little detail with utmost patience, professionalism, expertise, and a strong sense of urgency at any time of the day or night as the transaction required. Above all, they are one of the most wonderful couples we have ever met and make an amazing team. After our experience with Jill and Howard, we can’t imagine working with anyone else for our next real estate transaction. – I.S.
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.
