ZillowVERIFIEDGrant is great to work with! He is a very nice and kind person, who cares about his clients and is very professional. He is easy to talk to and very responsive, and he is very knowledgeable about Park Slope and Brooklyn. He has been a huge help in both buying and selling a condo, and we would definitely recommend him! We had an amazing experience working with Grant.

ZillowVERIFIED We bought our first apartment with Grant in 2019 and had a great experience. He was extremely knowledgeable about the neighborhood, the markets and what constituted a good value. He was highly communicative and walked us through the process seamlessly. Highly recommend for a first time buyer like we were. We then sold our apartment in 2025 with Grant and had a similarly great experience. Although markets were not in our favor and we started the sale process late in the season, Grant was able to find us a quality buyer almost at our asking price. He was extremely supportive in facilitating logistics as we had left the city prior to closing. We were able to rely on Grant to go well above and beyond the responsibilities of an agent to make our lives so much easier. Finally, but significantly, Grant is a great guy and was a pleasure to work with. He consistently exceeded our expectations and we would heartily recommend him.

ZillowVERIFIED Very helpful and insightful about the real estate market. Extremely responsive and data driven in valuations. Grant is a go-to for complex situations, such as co-ops and adjoining units. 100% recommend Grant to anyone looking to buy in NYC!

Review for Member: Grant Braswell
ZillowVERIFIED We didn't go looking for Grant. A click on a button to get into an otherwise inaccessible unit brought my fiancA(C)e and me together. The rest was history. Grant got us into that unit, it didn't work for us and then he brought us several other places. He stewarded us through the process and now we are the proud and happy owners of a beautiful new home. Don't leave it to chance, choose Grant.

ZillowVERIFIED Grant is a rockstar, as all who have worked with him know! We bought a condo with him in 2018, and he continues to help us out today on everything from rentals to plumbers. Grant is fantastic.

ZillowVERIFIED Grant is the best! We have been working with him for years (for several moves) and he is extremely knowledgeable about the market and a pleasure to work with. He is always available and helping us tailor our search to find exactly what we are looking for. Would highly recommend!

ZillowVERIFIED I can't imagine selling our place with anyone else. Grant is a real estate savant. Knows the area super well and understands how the market works. Most importantly he was always there for us whenever (!) we needed him no matter how small the question. He walked us through the entire process from start to finish. So appreciative of Grant and his team.

ZillowVERIFIED Grant is an awesome agent. He always has a plan. He helped us plan how to stage our property, worked appropriate on pricing during a challenging economic time. He responds quickly to any and all questions. I cannot recommend him enough. It was a pleasure working with him.

ZillowVERIFIED I had a great experience working with Sahar from the Braswell team to buy my first home. She was incredible - very thoughtful and patient with me through the process, taking video tours for me when I was out of town, and helping me pull together my co-op package. Sahar was extremely responsive and knowledgeable about the market/norms and helped me negotiate for my dream co-op. On a personal note, Sahar is also a delight to be around. She is great company and I was almost sad that our process together was so efficient because I was having so much fun with her! I cannot recommend Sahar more highly.

ZillowVERIFIED I had the pleasure of working with Sahar from the Braswell team and she was incredible! Super patient throughout my entire home search process in Manhattan even though I paused / restarted many times, facetiming me when I was out of town for tours and always so responsive (even when she was on vacation!). Ended up finding my dream apartment in Manhattan and Sahar was so helpful guiding me through a complicated co-op process and crazy housing market.

ZillowVERIFIED I've worked with Grant twice now, and wouldn't work with another broker. He makes buying and selling in New York seem easy, when we all know it's not, a steady, knowledgeable question-answerer, a tireless shower-upper, Grant helped me put out fires large and small to the moment of closing and beyond. Strongly recommended.

ZillowVERIFIED We highly recommend Sahar Aubon at the Braswell Team at Compass. This was our first time purchasing a Coop in Manhattan. She is extremely knowledgeable and patient to respond to all of our many questions. The process took approximately 4 months and Sahar was in constant communication with us updating us on the entire deal. We live outside of NYC and didn't know what to expect and without Sahar, we would have given up.

Review for Member: Grant Braswell
ZillowVERIFIED In the fast-paced, high-stakes game of "house-hunting," it's important to have a trusted advisor by your side. An expert who not only understand the market and trends, but someone who understands your family's needs and advocates on your behalf in critical conversations. Grant Braswell is that advisor and more. From search to signing and beyond.Grant makes data-informed recommendations, keeps his cool, and never once made us feel pushed or rushed. He goes above and beyond to earn your trust and show you why he's the best. For example, even before we officially asked for his representation, Grant visited a listing on our behalf, took a 10+ minute home tour video, uploaded the entire thing, and shared it with us. With commentary and analysis. Additionally, Grant shared his network of top-notch resources: loan officer, inspector, and more. We recommend him enthusiastically / just give him a call and you'll see why.

ZillowVERIFIED Buying anything during The Great Pandemic of 2020/2021 was a challenging process, let alone a home for a pair of first-time homebuyers. We had previously scoped out locations and knew the condo building that we were interested in, but needed help in deciding which unit(s) to make offers for. We reached out to Grant to help us with this, and he was able to show us the different listings and help make a offers for the units we settled on. Grant was super helpful throughout the entire process, from offer to contract to closing, and everything in between. Our process took a little longer than most, but Grant was patient and helped us with anything we needed. He was respectful, professional, punctual, and we were so lucky our first home-buying experience was with him. Once we're ready to buy another place, I will definitely reach back out to Grant, and I would highly recommend anyone who's thinking of buying, selling, renting, etc. to reach out to him and his team!

Review for Member: Grant Braswell
ZillowVERIFIED Without Grant, we likely would have never been able to close on our new condo. From the beginning, he was super helpful with recommending an attorney and putting us in touch with his contacts at various banks. Due to certain qualities of the building we were looking to buy in, we unfortunately ran into some issues with securing financing, and ended up needing to switch banks two separate times. Without Grant's connections, his proactiveness to put us in touch with the right people, and always following up with the responsible parties to ensure we were continuing to move in the right direction, we would have never made it to the finish line, so for that I would highly recommend Grant! He was super helpful and willing to answer all of our questions, and always thinking of new solutions for any roadblocks we encountered throughout the entire process. Really went above and beyond any expectations we had!

ZillowVERIFIED Grant and the Braswell Team are fantastic! Grant guided us through purchasing our first Co-op and was exceedingly patient, thorough and kind. We appreciated his honesty, willingness to put our needs first, and attention to detail every step of the way. We couldn't have navigated our way through the process without him, and are so grateful that he made an intimidating process very attainable. We look forward to working with Grant again in the future and in the meantime, highly recommend his team to anyone else looking for a realtor!

ZillowVERIFIED I was a first-time buyer, and I felt very lucky that it was Grant and his team who guided me through the entire condo-buying process. Grant and his team are experienced, knowledgeable, and resourceful. From the very beginning, they have been considerate of my concerns as a first-time buyer and responsive to the questions I had. They then sent me detailed documents that helped me estimate how much I could afford to buy and how much I could loan. While we looked at the properties together, the team was very transparent and thorough about the pros and cons of each unit, which was important because, in hindsight, I don't think I would have considered some of the important factors they mentioned. It was also very helpful that they provided recommendations for the mortgage bank, the inspector, and the attorney, all of whom were professional, efficient, and pleasant to work with. I highly recommend talking to Grant and his team if you are thinking of buying or selling a property, especially if you are had no prior experience!

ZillowVERIFIED I recently found and moved into a new apartment with the help of Grant Braswell and Lauren Feldesman. The process was wonderful from start to finish. Before meeting Lauren, Id looked at around 10-15 other places on my own and through other brokers, but she was BY FAR the most personable, honest, and helpful broker I worked with. I ended up applying for the first unit she showed me aEUR" it was perfect! Grant then lent his expertise in helping me complete a fairly demanding board package, and was highly responsive and on top of things throughout. My timeframe between giving notice on my old place and being approved for the new apt was tight, but Grant went above and beyond to calm my nerves and reassure me while avoiding any of the grandiose false promises that other brokers are often tempted to make aEUR" the end result was that I completely trusted him, and with good reason. Grant was honest, professional, and did everything in his power to get a good deal for all involved. Ive tried to avoid brokers in the past, but Grant & team changed that for me. Id fully recommend them to anyone and would happily use them again, though hopefully not anytime soon as I literally never want to leave this perfect apartment!

ZillowVERIFIED As first-time home-buyers, so much of the process was entirely new to us, and Grant was a key resource in helping us navigate all of the ins and outsaEUR"including recommending our lawyer and our inspector, both of whom we loved working with. He has a great eye for construction, and we really valued getting his expert feedback on places we had seen (and in helping us see where making post-close improvements ourselves would be easy or hard!). We were grateful to have him in our corner.

ZillowVERIFIED We worked with Grant Braswell at Compass. He was responsive, mobilized quickly to get our listing up, and - most importantly - sold our place very quickly. He was recommended by our friends who just sold their apartment and they had a similar experience. You can't go wrong with Grant!!

Review for Member: Grant Braswell
ZillowVERIFIED This was my first experience looking for homes, and in a place like NYC, with so many oddities like tax deduction limits, flip taxes, etc, I was understandably nervous.Grant was awesome - he helped me find my coop, keep me on track for timing, and talk through some of these issues and trade-offs while traipsing around the city. His help was limitless, when my question was "can I fix X or do Y?" his answer was never just yes or no, it was "yes, and here's a number you can call, and here's what to ask for". Cannot recommend enough.

ZillowVERIFIED I write this review comfortable and happy in the extremely great, extremely right-for-me apartment Grant Braswell helped me buy. If I decide to sell or rent this place, to buy another apartment, or to do anything else real estate-related, I wouldn't think of going to anyone else. I plan to tell all my friends the same. "Full service" doesn't cover it. There's nothing Grant could have done that he didn't do, as far as this first-time home buyer can tell. He helped me understand and navigate a part of town I didn't know. He presented me with a diverse set of apartments matching the vague and somewhat misguided criteria I initially gave him. He patiently fielded my many, semi-intelligent questions, at all hours of the day and all days of the week, until I understood precisely what I wanted. Then, he helped me close the deal, offering consistently useful advice; connecting me with a network of sharp, trustworthy professionals (inspector, contractor, etc).; and handling various tasks on his own, saving me trips and hassle.Everything he did, he did ably, quickly, and with good humor. I feel very fortunate to have been referred to him.

ZillowVERIFIED Grant Braswell was instrumental in helping us find our perfect home in Brooklyn, NY. He understood our family goals within one meeting and found a slew of properties in Brooklyn to meet our needs -- ultimately pointing us to the place that became our home! Grant is knowledgable about the neighborhoods and real estate practices from NY (we're from DC and new to this!) and helped us navigate some tricky waters. He was also helpful in connecting us with home inspectors, real estate attorneys, banks and all of the other assorted people you need to get a deal done in this town. Thank you, Grant!

ZillowVERIFIED I contacted Grant at the Braswell Team to see if they could help my great Aunt sell her home. It was not in the best of shape but they treated us like we were selling a brand new apartment. They were extremely patient with us and the building - the estate process took much longer than expected. No wonder coops don't exist anywhere else! We felt that we got a very fair price in the end and I would recommend Grant and his team to anyone. Thanks again!

ZillowVERIFIED Grant was one part fantastic agent and one part therapist. New York real estate is a beast and we had been looking for a long time with no success. Grant guided us in expanding our search, which led us to find a place we fell in love with. However, our initial offer was not accepted. So after we made a bunch of offers on other properties we liked less, Grant strategized, went back to the sellers' agent, and came up with a deal that worked for everyone. It ended up being a complex purchase that seemed to go on forever (through no fault of his) but Grant regularly called us to keep us in the loop and talk about our feelings. He kept us calm and optimistic, and ultimately guided the transaction towards a successful closing. Even when there was an issue post-closing, Grant dealt with it even though he didn't really have to.

ZillowVERIFIED For years, my goal was to buy an apartment in NYC. Last year was finally the right time for me to start looking, and I selected Grant Braswell to represent me in the process. I never could have imagined how easy and stress-free it could be. I truly feel like he had my best interests at heart, and he gave me creative advice, and walked me through some of the complicated questions I had (I couldn't resist - I work in finance). He gave me the analytical detail I needed and wanted so I could fully understand the value of the apartment I was considering. I ended up buying in Clinton Hill and am closing in about a month. I couldn't be happier! I got a great deal and felt like I found the most trustworthy agent and broker to guide me through the entire transaction. Grant is truly a dream come true! He's knowledgeable about the city, the social scene, restaurants and bars, and is extremely smart, well-spoken, super friendly, and great at follow-up. He works incredibly hard and I am grateful that I picked him for my apartment search.

ZillowVERIFIED Grant and his team did an absolutely fabulous job both selling my apartment in dumbo as well as advising on our new place we purchased in Wallabout. He and his team priced the loft perfectly and we sold it at ask! They even negotiated a favorable post possession lease allowing us to rent from the new owners until our new place was ready. Grant and his team were extremely efficient and knowledgeable and were straight shooters- something I really appreciated during the process. We have been sending anyone we know interested in either buying or renting to Grant and his team...and thus far everyone has been extremely happy. What a top notch team!

ZillowVERIFIED Grant and his team recently helped us to buy a townhouse in Brooklyn and sell and our place in Dumbo. He knew we wanted to act extremely fast on the townhouse and did everything humanly possible for us to seal the deal - even answering our calls from a ski chair lift on his vacation! We felt confident in his knowledge of the Brooklyn market, his ability to negotiate the best deal possible and close the deal. Once we had the townhouse in our grasp we turning quickly to selling our apartment in Dumbo. Grant aggressively pursued the price point we wanted and got us our highest asking price. He strategically weighed the contents of the deal financially, when we needed to be out by and how to juggle our tenant. As he knew this was a stressful time for us - he even had a member of his team source an incredibly reasonable storage and moving company for us.I could not recommend Grant and his team more. We trusted him with our most valuable asset and it paid off tenfold. We will absolutely be using Grant to close our next deal. 10/10!

ZillowVERIFIED It was a real treat to work with Grant, both when he helped us find our first NYC rental in Chelsea back in 2012, and also when he recently guided us through the purchase of our first home in Brooklyn. Grant is an exceptional broker. He is extremely knowledgeable about his business and can offer comprehensive guidance on everything from local real estate laws to kitchen stove models. We were very nervous about purchasing our first home and asked countless questions. Grant was not only patient throughout the process, he went above and beyond to make sure all of our questions were answered to our satisfaction. We felt as though he was our advocate, which is immeasurably valuable in such a stress-ridden process. Certainly not least important, Grant is a caring and kind person. It was a pleasure to get to know him and we would absolutely seek his services again. Highly recommended.

ZillowVERIFIED Grant recently helped me with my first home purchase in NYC. I second all the great reviews here! Grant and his team are exceptional. Grant took the time to understand the exact apartment I was looking for, helped me look within my means, went out of his way to research and provide really valuable insight on buildings I was interested in, and helped me negotiate an apartment down to a fair price that I was comfortable with. He also guided me through the entire closing process which would've been really overwhelming without him. He is an excellent broker and also genuinely really nice. All in all, I am so glad I worked with the Braswell Team and I would 100% recommend them to anyone who is looking to buy in NYC.

He's was incredibly attentive and sympathetic to our needs at every stage and went above and beyond to make himself available whenever we needed him.

ZillowVERIFIED Grant Braswell is the simply the best- I'd give 10 stars if I could! We were first-time home buyers plus we were relocating from out of state and had no idea about the housing market here, and Grant was great at explaining everything to us along the way and helping us to navigate the process. He had great advice in how to approach making offers, and has a great mathematical way of figuring out the possible range of what a place would be worth which was super helpful in figuring out what we wanted to offer. His referrals for other people to work with throughout the process were great as well- attorneys, bankers, etc. He was always responsive and available to answer all of our questions and thorough in following up with the status of our offers (we made offers on four places before finally getting an accepted offer on the fifth - thank you, crazy market!) I initially found him on Yelp after getting no response from other brokers that were referred to us from friends- I figured all these five star reviews couldn't lie- and so glad I did! Grant really knows his stuff and there's no one else I'd rather work with. I'll definitely be using him again in the future!

ZillowVERIFIED I was working with Grant Braswell on purchasing two apartments in East Village and cannot recommend him more highly. I have high expectations for professionals I work with and I was not disappointed. Grant is very knowledgeable about the process, superbly professional in his approach and amazingly prompt in his responses, day or night. Our communication was always clear and straightforward, which I really appreciated. More than that, he is friendly, genuine and honest and he certainly made this lengthy, frustrating and sometimes nerve-wracking adventure much more manageable. He is an excellent broker and I highly recommend working with him!

ZillowVERIFIED Grant and his team have been a pleasure to work with for my family. He listened closely to our specific needs, explained the process to us clearly, and did not waste our energy with homes that were out of our price range. He did so much more than was required or expected as he was great throughout the entire process and importantly saved us money during the price negotiations as we did not have experience in the NYC market especially with coops and condos- he has plenty of experience which guided us through a smooth process from start to finish. We found Grant to be a highly attentive professional always returning our many phone calls and emails at all hours. Later friends sold their a NY coop apartment with his team, and he was honest about some minor changes that they needed to make to attract more buyers, and his advice worked to improve their sales price. Overall a major thumbs up for Grant for any NYC transactions.

ZillowVERIFIED I can't say enough good things about Grant and his team. I was very budget oriented during my search and hugely unfamiliar with the NY real estate pitfalls (aside from renting...buying is a whole different ballgame) - they did a tremendous job keeping me competitive in the market and walking me through the process. Everything was thoroughly explained to me as we went along, and never once was I pressured into anything that was out of my budget, or didn't meet requirements. As a result I felt comfortable accepting some key recommendations during several offers. Many realtors in NY would have taken advantage of that amount of latitude; Grant did not.If you are looking for an upstanding, intelligent, and exceptionally reasonable group to help you with your NY real estate transaction, look no further.

ZillowVERIFIED Grant assisted with finding us a beautiful Upper West Side luxury rental in connection with our move from Norway to New York in the summer of 2014. As a lawyer, I am focused on details and have high expectations with regards to my broker approaching my engagement with speed, structure, (market and area) knowledge and integrity. Grant delivered on all accounts. He was quick to respond, structured in organizing great showings that met a detailed list of requirements (I flew in to NYC for a long weekend to do showings, and all were organized neatly with regards to times and neighborhoods), and did so with insight, patience, honesty and sound advise. In addition, I found Grant to be a very personable guy who was easy, fun and interesting to hang out with.Having Grant and his team on your side when diving into New York real estate will certainly ease an otherwise stressful challenge. I highly recommend Grant, his Keller Williams Realty team and their services to anyone looking to make a move to New York or otherwise looking to relocate within the City.

ZillowVERIFIED I was a realtor's nightmare. A fourth year medical student living off of school loans with no income. Parents didn't make enough, even combined, to be good guarantors. I was moving back to the city but only after finishing my board exams; the final tests that make or break your chances of getting into residency. Needless to say, I didn't have the time to keep traveling to the city from upstate when study time is precious in the final weeks leading up to these tests. And to top it off, the move had to occur on Labor Day weekend since I was due to start a rotation in a Bronx hospital the following Tuesday. Basically, I needed a guy who could manage the transaction remotely so that I could move down, cross my T's, dot my I's and have a place to live. At first I looked to Craigslist for an apartment since all my previous places in NYC were found there. Those included a garage in S.I. and some little kid's old room (no, the kid had grown up and moved out and was not in there with me) in a house in Far Rockaway. I wanted something a little nicer this time since I would be there for a year. However, I wasn't holding my breath since my demands were already enough to make a real estate agent cry.I went to the Keller Williams website, told my sob story to their online chat box and left an email for follow up. My file ended up on Grant Braswell's desk and I'm glad it did. I was asking for A LOT but he was patient with me and said, if necessary, he could make some walk-through videos for me and email them to me. He sent me some good options online and was also open to housing suggestions I found on my own. In the end, I bumped my test date to mid-September to get some extra studying in, which afforded me a day to drive down to NYC with my dad to meet up with Grant. This is where this guy really started to show off why he's so popular on Yelp. With less than a week's notice of my arrival, Grant collected a number of places to go see and, knowing we only had the day to look, took us through a whirlwind tour and several apartments within my price range (without ever making us feel like we were rushed). The apartments all looked good to me, but I didn't look very good to the apartments since my school loans didn't really count much to make me appear like I could pay my rent. Grant helped with that as well, discussing my situation with other realtors/property managers and finally working his magic on a spot in Harlem. We then went back to Grant's apartment where he helped us expedite all the paperwork all in the same afternoon. With the current tenant moving out that day, I would only need a hotel room for a night while they repainted my new apartment. I can see a lot of realtors getting pretty annoyed with my situation, but Grant was always understanding and patient. What's more, he took a substantial chunk off his broker fee to alleviate some of the stress of the move while studying. I've been in the apartment for a little over a month now, the tests are all in the books and I couldn't be happier. Grant was a huge help in my move back to the city and Grant, if you ever read this, I'm still waiting on that offer to grab a beer once my test was over! I would recommend Grant to anyone, but especially any students new to the real estate game. Grant was excellent.

ZillowVERIFIED Grant was incredible, he helped me quickly find a place that was perfect for my small growing family!Grant's in-depth knowledge of the neighborhoods in Manhatten (and over in Brooklyn), helped us understand where we wanted to be, and how we could best stretch our dollar to get what we wanted.He's an absolute professional, and also someone you can grab a beer with after looking at a bunch of listings so that you can crunch through what you saw, what's out there, where to go next.

Review for Member: Grant Braswell
ZillowVERIFIED I first contacted Grant when I needed a referral agent for my cousin who had to sell her place in the Chelsea area of NYC. As a Keller Williams agent myself, I work in the Northern Los Angeles area, and when I was looking for a New York agent, someone I could trust and be sure would take good care of my cousin, I had heard that Grant was amazing, with a wealth of knowledge and an abundance of patience. Grant and his team not only exceeded my expectations, but more importantly, my cousin's! She couldn't say enough about their professionalism, kindness, respect, as well as their great negotiation skills, getting her even more money than she had expected. It is an understatement to say that I was thrilled with the Braswell team's overall performance, and I would recommend them to anyone I know in the New York City area. A big THANK YOU to Grant and his team for making the sale of my cousin's place such a positive, effortless and rewarding experience. Helene Lacoe, Realtor,Keller Williams Westlake Village, CA.
