Most buyer’s agents earn a commission at closing and keep all of it.
At BRN, we return up to 1.5% of the purchase price directly to you at closing — documented in full, paid by wire transfer or applied against your closing costs.
This isn’t a discount. It’s a structural feature of how we practice — built into every transaction, for every client.

Senior-Level Attention Throughout
Senior-Level Attention Throughout
BRN works with a small number of clients at any given time. That means every client gets direct access to our senior team — from the first property search through closing day. Nothing is delegated to someone who doesn’t know your transaction cold.

Our backgrounds in finance, law, and real estate mean we approach every deal the way you’d want an advisor to — running the numbers, stress-testing the financials, assessing the building, and negotiating with precision. We ask the questions most brokers never think to ask.

Who We Work With
The buyers we work with share a common instinct — they want expertise, honesty, and a transaction structured to return real value at closing.
Whether it’s a first co-op purchase on the Upper West Side or an estate on the East End, that instinct is the right one to follow.
“We received $40,000 back at closing on our Upper West Side co-op — which paid for the decorating we’d been planning. But what stood out was the work that led up to closing: BRN handled the board package, the financial analysis, and the negotiation directly. Senior people, doing senior work.”

It depends. If another broker has already shown you a specific property, that broker has a claim on the commission for that property — so we generally can’t represent you on it. But for properties you haven’t seen with another broker, you’re free to engage us. Reach out and we can talk through the specifics of your situation.
