James Kelleher Photo

James Kelleher doesn't just have clients; he has fans who work exclusively with him, because he won't sleep until YOU have a place to sleep. Specializing in prime Brooklyn neighborhoods like Park Slope, BoCoCa, Downtown and Williamsburg, and Manhattan near Union Square, he is a uniquely knowledgeable and diligent broker who wins client loyalty with his exceptional service and results.

James' professional expertise in the Brooklyn and Manhattan markets is complemented by his personal experience having lived in over 15 apartments spanning more than a dozen NYC neighborhoods. Presently residing in the beautiful community of Park Slope, he intimately knows the property types, price ranges and availability of real estate in each area, as he does the local vibe and amenities that set them apart.

Whether you are a native New Yorker or are moving here from out of state, James is very good at finding that ideal balance between location, price and apartment size/condition. That's quite a talent, especially since it's very tough to find a good middle ground between all three, with prices being higher and apartments being smaller than in any other city! James is a natural problem solver who is adept at figuring out what will work for someone in the most efficient manner, without wasting valuable time.

This intuitive, intelligent Brooklyn native holds degrees in Physics and Biomolecular Science. He attended Kingsborough College as well as Polytechnic Institute of NYU. James was in the coast guard for six years, then worked in hospitality, retail, construction and other service businesses before embracing real estate as his career. No one will work harder for you than he will to secure or sell a home.

Any agent that returns my call the same day is someone who I would work with in the further. Thanks for returning my call.

James is a very professional and friendly broker. He responded immediately to my online request. He is extremely familiar with the areas he works in and the properties he shows. He answered every question I had about moving into Brooklyn. He made it very easy for me moving from another state, and made the renting process stress free. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Let's start with the positives. I received an quick response from James and we scheduled an appointment for the following weekend. He was definitely punctual (actually arrived early) and was helpful in helping me navigate the area. My friend happened to have a heat stroke 10 minutes before we met however James was UBER patient and still agreed to meet me after she felt a little better (20mins after my scheduled time). That's about where the pleasant situation ended.

We saw the place and it wasn't what I was looking for (very noisy first floor place right under the train and on a busy street). I told him my positives/negatives with the place and that's when James the rude used car salesman came out. He assured me I wasnt going to find anything else (I've seen significantly better options) and tried to make me sign on the dot. He didn't listen and insulted me numerous times. James is definitely the rudest agent I've dealt with to date. It was a complete 180 from the previous James (who probably just wanted to do anything to get me to sign). It was so horrible that I followed up with a review on Yelp as well. Just avoid dealing with him.

I highly recommend James. He took the time to gather my requirements for the apartment and made sure that all, or almost all, my requirements are met. He presented both sides of the coin so I can make a balanced decision. We would have gotten an apartment on the 1st day we looked at apartments but the landlord was sketchy. We found on my apartment on the 2nd time we looked at apartments. Yup, James is highly recommended.
