MLA Team at Compass and Brownstone Property Group provide one-stop brokerage services

Brooklyn, NY Two business leaders, MLA Team at Compass and Brownstone Property Group, have partnered to provide access to essential real estate services to maximize value for property owners. The combination of professionals creates a vertically-integrated new service delivering rentals, sales, appraisals, property management, and funded-renovation services to property owners and residents in New York City.

Now, MLA Team at Compass’s sales and marketing prowess, combined with Brownstone’s seasoned renovation and management skills have solved that problem by partnering to provide customers with an efficient, all-in-one resource to save time, money, and deliver high sales and rental value. Owners in need of renovations can get funding with no up-front costs or interest with the Compass Concierge service. Meanwhile, Brownstone’s licensed/insured general contracting division can provide soup-to-nuts renovations, including estimates, design, renovation management, and cleanup.
