Closed Over $300 Million in Sales—Highest Price Sold Among Many Buildings

As co-owner of Garfield Realty, Elizabeth is just as passionate about the real estate business as she was when she first started 19 years ago. With the Brooklyn market constantly changing, she knows the importance of being accessible, responsive and trustworthy, no matter the price point. Whether buying, selling or renting, Elizabeth aims to make the process as smooth and stress-free as possible, guiding even the most challenging deals to a fast and successful closing. Elizabeth and her husband Robert live in Brooklyn with their daughter Senya and their cat Cupcake.

Favorite Thing About Brooklyn: Community

I moved to Brooklyn in 1998, and love it just as much now as I did then. Watching my daughter’s childhood unfold here is a joy. One thing that’s always been clear to me is that it’s the people who make our neighborhood so special. I’ve seen this community come together in tough times and in times of gratitude, and I feel really lucky to call Brooklyn my home.

Favorite Brooklyn Food Experience: Blanca

For a luxurious and eventful evening, head to Michelin-starred Blanca in Bushwick for a 19-course tasting menu in a sleek kitchen/restaurant that seats 12, hidden in the backyard of Roberta's. Outstanding flavor combinations are prepared to perfection, paired deliciously with wine and sake. Each dish is incredibly unique and lands like a flavor bomb.

Favorite Brooklyn Ice Cream Shop: Ample Hills Creamery

Best ice cream anywhere, really. Made from scratch daily, my current favorite flavors include Ooey Gooey Buttercake and the highly addictive Salted Crack Caramel. Don’t be afraid to ask for samples. And don’t worry, the line moves quickly.

Favorite Brooklyn Spot: Pebble Beach in Brooklyn Bridge Park

I’m partial to this spot near the granite steps overlooking the Manhattan skyline, where my husband and I exchanged vows in 2010. It’s peaceful, but with the occasional rumble of the subway overhead as it crosses the bridge it all feels beautifully and perfectly “New York”.

Elizabeth Kohen is patient, kind-hearted, as well as smart and extremely savvy. The closing happened without a hitch! She is not only a pro with a lot of experience, she patiently guided me through this process with ease, grace and intelligence.

– Leslie J., Park Slope

We would like to enthusiastically recommend Elizabeth Kohen. She is extremely professional, honest, dedicated, hard-working—an overall pleasure to work with. We unequivocally recommend her!

– Antoinette S., Windsor Terrace

I can't say enough about the professional competence and friendly service we received from Elizabeth. She went far beyond our expectations. The property sold quickly, and we were delighted with the price. She is a rare find.

– Gerald R., Prospect Heights

It is so nice to know that there still exists an honest broker in New York—and not one, but two! Elizabeth and Paul are truly gold stars of Park Slope! They are easy to talk to, personable and responsive with a no-nonsense, no-pushy, straight forward and open approach.

– J.B., Brooklyn

Elizabeth was able to effectively secure buyers within a very short period of time. No other firm with massive marketing schemes and larger sales staff accomplished what she was able to deliver. Garfield has earned my trust like no other.
