ABOUT

Our Story

Our Story

Distinctive Brokers LLC was founded in February 2006 as a dynamic real estate brokerage with a clear vision: to guide first-time homebuyers through the challenging process of achieving homeownership in New York City and its surrounding areas. Despite the daunting task posed by one of the most expensive real estate markets in the United States, the company boldly employed innovative and creative approaches to structuring unique deals, achieving outstanding results. Over the last 18 years, we have empowered hundreds of families to transition from tenants to homeowners, and some ambitious few eventually graduated to become investors. Our growth has been fueled by our unwavering commitment to building strong and lasting relationships with our clients, culminating in a thriving business driven by referrals and client satisfaction.

What makes us distinct is our total commitment to prioritizing the client's needs above our bottom line. Distinctive Brokers takes pride in building our business through customer loyalty and referrals. We value relationships and always aim to negotiate win-win deals for parties in transactions.

Our business has grown, especially as repeat clients have returned for our services. Our relationships with our clients are distinctive in that we provide financial guidance that accompanies homeownership. In addition, we expose our customers to various other investment options. Our hope is that our clients' experience with our professional services will help them secure a safe financial future.

New York is a prime real-estate market because of its location and diverse range of people. This makes it perfect for our business model and reinforces our mission statement:

Offering a Diverse Approach to Real Investments, Globally.
