House of the Day: 206 208 Hancock Street
Unless Corcoran has the listing, it’s hard to unearth addresses for most of the houses on the market in Bed Stuy; brokers like Fillmore and, in this case, Weichert are loathe to include street addresses with the listings, so it’s only by using a little gumshoe that we can feature a lot of these places….
Unless Corcoran has the listing, it’s hard to unearth addresses for most of the houses on the market in Bed Stuy; brokers like Fillmore and, in this case, Weichert are loathe to include street addresses with the listings, so it’s only by using a little gumshoe that we can feature a lot of these places. One such house, which we happened to pass by this weekend, is 206 208 Hancock Street. The three-family house has an eye-catching turrett. Besides that, it’s hard to know what lies within, cuz there are no interior pics. Nice going, guys! Way to help your client out. Asking price for the 3,600-square-foot building? $799,000. Hancock Street is great, but unless there’s some well-preserved architectural detail and some nice kitchens and bathrooms in there, that’s a stretch in these trying times. Update: Looks like we eye-balled the address wrong and this is actually the same house we profiled last summer when it was asking $859,000.

House of the Day: 208 Hancock Street [Brownstoner]
Anyone who uses the word REALTOR, especially in all caps, is one.
It’s amazing how all of you don’t understand that mortgage these days are not given out, I have met the realtor and he treated me with professionalism and respect, he did mention to me that there was offers on the table but they fell through due to mortgage but it’s people like you who critique a house that is gorgeous on the outside and has many original details on the inside and for Mr. Brownstoner…I am disappointed to see that this house was posted before and since you drove by before meaning this past august that you posted the same blog, you should have known better. It’s also funny to see people actually seeing this house and never placed an offer for it but yet critique the property, I hope everyone on this website actually has a job because it doesn’t seem like it since ya got nothing better to do that to critique a house twice and not buy it!!!And as for the realtor I give him a thumbs up as he is trying to get this house sold and not listening to all these stupid critiques. Remember….REALTORS have families too to support and they will do anything they need to get a listing and then try to sell it!! As we all know how many realtors there are in brooklyn, and competing between each other is always a challenge. Same as in a work place, ya’ll should have got laid off in the past and you know how it feels and as to the realtor, he is trying and he will be successful even in this market, THANX TO OUR MORTGAGE CRISIS!!! PEACE

Dam Dave! Your idol “The What” was right, your equity went right down the drain.
Mopar, if I thought the broker was making up a story, I think I would ask the broker why they were wasting my time if there was a good, solid offer that the seller was probably going to accept. The likely response would be that the seller was still open to other offers. At that point, I’d have to control my temper at the game being played and try not to call the broker’s bluff. If there is already a good, solid offer that is going to be accepted, then why trying to pressure me by mentioning it. This isn’t 2004 with bidding wars on every pile of bricks Brooklyn. Lame.
Dave, what should one say when the realtor says an offer has been made as one walks in the door? What is to keep realtors from making up fictitious offers?
You are funny Dave…the small house a few doors down is WAY over priced. I think southern Bedford Stuyvesant is on the come up but I the Realtors are not helping the area by being so greedy. I bet if you talked to the owner of this house before he put it on the market it would have been a different asking price(much lower).
I’ve been looking at so many houses with all sorts of brokers and that’s a classic line with the smaller ones. Sometimes it has proven true and sometimes, not. It’s not an enticement, that’s for sure.
After reviewing what we saw, we did not see this house. I got it mixed up with one from that same realtor that was also overpriced.
