Elaine Clayman is the founder and co-director of the Elaine Clayman / Justine Bray Team. Elaine, her daughter and partner Justine Bray, and their team are consistently TOP PRODUCERS at Brown Harris Stevens, New York’s most prestigious residential real estate firm. They are among the top one-half of one percent of Brown Harris Stevens as well as nationwide. In 2015, The Wall Street Journal / REAL Trends recognized them as one of the leading teams in the nation. They were ranked 138th for sales volume, and their high sales production has stayed constant annually. She is a certified NYRS® (New York Residential Specialist) and a CNE (Certified Negotiation Expert).

Elaine and Justine have sold an average of 100 properties every year for the past twenty years. They have achieved this remarkable sales volume through extensive research, consistent follow-through, and best-in-class purchase support.

Elaine's professionalism and integrity stand out in the field. A born marketer, her creative insights have helped realize outstanding results for her clients. Before joining Brown Harris Stevens, she was president and founder of the Elaine Clayman Realty Group. Her company garnered unprecedented national media attention when she introduced the use of the American Express card to the brokerage community, employing well-known, former Mayor Ed Koch as her spokesperson. Elaine brings this creative marketing to the sellers whom she represents.

Continually sought out by major media outlets and industry associations as a leading residential real estate expert and thought-leader, Elaine's marketing triumphs have been heralded in The New York Times and Crain's New York Business on several occasions. She was named one of Manhattan's “Premier Brokers” by both New York Living and New York Magazine and appeared on Bloomberg News, New York Home, The Real Deal, Mann Report, smartmoney.com, WABC-TV, and WFUV Radio as an industry expert. She is also honored as a top agent in “TopAgentGuide,” a Zagat-type guide of the top 100 agents.

Elaine and her team provide extensive end-to-end service and support for their clients and customers. She has created a team of functional specialists. She has changed the old way of doing business and has introduced a new paradigm – a new way of doing business. From initial consultation through accepted offer, she establishes aggressive, yet realistic, objectives for clients. Her analysis informs them of current market trends, and serves as the foundation of a comprehensive marketing plan for their property. By comprising a sound pricing strategy, Elaine helps clients secure the highest price that the market will bear in the shortest amount of time.

When showing properties, Elaine highlights features using lighting, home staging and other presentational techniques to create an inviting, comfortable atmosphere for buyers. No one is ever turned down for a showing because Elaine has a powerful marketing team of professional brokers who work for sellers as well as buyers, and four support staff — all licensed. As a result of her proven ability to market homes in “lifestyle” buildings, Elaine and Justine were appointed Broker Specialists for Brown Harris Stevens-managed luxury residences, 1199 Park Avenue and 422 East 72nd Street, also known as The Oxford.

Before launching her real estate career, Elaine's entrepreneurial spirit took her from teaching, to owning and operating an art gallery in Nyack, N.Y., to working as a fee-based financial manager, where she became enamored with the service business. Elaine is also an accomplished fine artist. Her daughter and partner, Justine, joined the group almost twenty years ago and continues the family tradition of consistent results-based success. Elaine is very proud that Justine has become her partner and together they look forward to achieving great results for their clients.

In an effort to give something back for each completed transaction, Elaine and Justine practice donating to charity with every check they receive.
