Your Building Specialists

Two buildings. One team.

Elise Ehrlich and Jesse Rosenthal of Brown Harris Stevens are the broker specialists for 202 and 242 Broome Street — the kind of deep, single-block expertise that only comes from being in the buildings every week, knowing every floor plan, and having sat across the closing table from many of the neighbors. It's one part of a broader practice across Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens.
Our approach
What exactly is a "building specialist?"

It means we're your go-to resource for whatever you need related to real estate at 202 and 242 Broome Street — whether that's buying, selling, renting, or just a gut-check on what your unit might be worth. We know these buildings like the back of our hands: the floor plans, the stacks, the light, the quirks, the history of what's traded and at what price.

We know the staff. We know the managing agents. We know the board culture and what's likely to fly. That relational depth is what a generalist can't replicate — and it's what makes the difference when something needs a phone call instead of an email, or when a buyer has a question no listing sheet can answer.

01
Real data, not vibes
Every recent sale and rental at both addresses, tracked monthly. Pricing recommendations are grounded in same-line and same-tier comparisons, not citywide averages.
02
Honest assessments
If now isn't the right time to sell your unit, we'll tell you. If a renovation isn't worth it before listing, we'll say that too. Our quarterly market take is published — not personalized to flatter you.
03
In the buildings, weekly
We're at 202 and 242 Broome regularly — for showings, owner visits, and just to keep our finger on the pulse. You'll often see us before you ever need us.

What our clients say
A selection of notes from buyers and sellers we've had the privilege to work with.
"Since hiring Elise Ehrlich, three of our units have sold in the short six months we've been working together. Her professionalism is of the highest I've had the pleasure of experiencing in the business. There is no doubt that I'll be hiring Elise to sell the remaining 18 sponsor units we have left."
For Elise — William G.
"Jesse provided me advice and direction, as well as data analysis to show me where my money is best spent. Thanks to him, I now own multiple properties in New York and am proud to now call myself a 'real estate investor.'"
For Jesse — Dan S.
"Elise Ehrlich is exceptional in so many ways. She is a true professional who really knows her stuff. Her guidance and advice were spot-on and made what could have been a challenge a relatively easy procedure. She took an active interest in helping us clean out the apartment and address any and all issues. Elise is a gem!"
For Elise — Bill L.
"He knows the market, speaks honestly, finds value, manages expectations, and always puts his clients' interests first — even ahead of his own."
For Jesse — Michael P. & Molly M.
"We have had the pleasure of working with Elise as both a buyer's agent and a listing agent. She is knowledgeable about every aspect of the deal process and is there for her clients around the clock. She provides sound advice and makes sure the transaction goes smoothly while keeping you at ease. Elise has become more than a broker to us and is truly a friend."

"Just a quick note to say how glad we were to have had Elise Ehrlich represent us in the purchase of our NYC flat. Her professionalism, knowledge and experience ensured that the deal not only closed but with minimum stress for us. She was always straight forward and offered sound advice. We always felt we had tremendous support and the right amount of hand-holding."
For Elise — Dorothy and Nikki W.
"From start to finish, Jesse's meticulous attention to detail set him apart. It made all the difference in my home buying search to have someone who not only knows how to navigate the search inside and out, but also takes the time to anticipate questions and address every small detail with care."
For Jesse — Lisa L.
"We have dealt with agents in the past, but working with Elise was a revelation. She encouraged us, worked with us, advised us, and was an amazing bundle of energy, intelligence and know-how. She is personable, open, and witty. We would work with her again and would also recommend her without reservation."
For Elise — Marsha and Robert G.
"What stood out most about Jesse was his client-first approach. He wasn't just focused on closing a deal — he was focused on my future, giving me insights and advice that went beyond the transaction. That level of trust and commitment is rare, and I'm grateful for it."
For Jesse — Michael H.
