Brown Harris Stevens

Townhouse Maven

Judy has been a Townhouse Specialist in Manhattan for almost 40 years, along with a stellar career of selling co-ops and condos. She has also helped landlords and owners in renting or subletting their apartments.

For the past 15 or so years, Judy has teamed up with Don Correia to become the quintessential real estate duo. They have been awarded 2 Deal of the Year Awards by REBNY and were inducted into Halstead Real Estate’s Elite Platinum, Diamond, and Gold Clubs. In 2015, they were recognized among the top 1,000 agents by the Wall Street Journal and in the top 1% of Halstead brokers. Their sellers and buyers have proclaimed Judy and Don as "dependable, innovative, professional, and particularly caring" and deserving of all the recognition they have received over the years together.

Whether you are a buyer or seller, you will be delighted with the high level of competence and handholding they provide.

After college, Judy first started out as an English teacher with the NYC Board of Ed. and then worked with the NY Urban League Street Academies in Harlem. When she became a mom of two children she switched gears, after buying a multi-unit townhouse on the Upper West Side, to become a real estate agent. She intended that to be a temporary career as her children were growing up but it soon became a passion. She adores interacting with her clients and providing them with the best professional services. Her knowledge of the NYC market and especially the ins and outs of buying and selling townhouses is unparalleled.

Don had an earlier career in show business starring on Broadway in "Singin' in the Rain" for which he was nominated for a Tony Award. Now with Judy, they have become "The Townhouse Experts" and often teach seminars as well as mentoring many other agents in their office. Their selfless sharing of valuable experience and information has been recognized with their "Lean on Me" award (Halstead Real Estate). Their ongoing seminars for buyers and sellers as well as for fellow agents have distinguished their careers.

You don't need to look any further than Judy and Don for your real estate needs. They are there for you!

Judy and Don, you were a great team of experts whose deep knowledge of the brownstone market was a true source of comfort. The sales process went very smoothly, despite S&P's downgrade action on U.S. government bonds roiling the markets as soon as we put the house up for sale. That certainly made my wish-list pricing unattainable. You were right from the start as to how much the house was likely to sell for, and in the end-game negotiations you got us $25,000 more than I asked you to achieve. Very well done, indeed! Beth and I thank you for all your help, including help finding the buyers--and they were great ones who clearly plan to keep the house as the mini-museum it has remained. Thanks too for the champagne--a great touch! You two covered each other as a great team..." - Bob & Beth S.

"After the death of my husband, preparing our home of 36 years for sale was the most gut-wrenching experience of my life. Judy and Don made the process bearable. They always gave me space when I needed it, a gentle nudge when it was needed. They were always kind, courteous, sensitive and respectful. And also--they loved my apartment and reassured me that they would find me a buyer who was looking for just what I had. Nobody wants to go through the "staging" process. But they insisted and I went along with it. Wow! What a difference! Not even my children--who grew up in the apartment--had fully appreciated our wonderful home property!

The open house was as smooth as it could possibly be. Judy and Don are so professional that nothing was left to chance. From our first meeting, all the way through the closing, they were complete professionals. They continue to work with me on another property in Manhattan. I wouldn't call anyone else." - Betty G.

"We have come to consider Don and Judy as our family's personal real estate brokers. They expertly guided us into (and eight years later, out of) our apartment on the Upper West Side, as well as helping our daughter sell her apartment when she re-located to the west coast. They're the top of the game as far as we're concerned -- knowledgeable, insightful and very personally involved. We couldn't recommend them more highly." - Jill E. and Michael T.

"I have known Don Correia for 30 years and have bought and sold three properties on the Upper West Side. He and Judy are a dynamite team who never fail to respond to you immediately. The transactions that we have worked on together have been fairly complex and time consuming and I was thrilled to be able to work with such dedicated and professional people." - Barbara and Emery O.
