Brown Harris Stevens

I am a native New Yorker with an in-depth knowledge of the city with a focus on Forest Hills and the adjoining areas of Kew Gardens and Rego Park. I know from first-hand experience that buying or selling a co-op, condo or house can be stressful, and I can ease the whole process. Most importantly, I want every customer to obtain the best price on whatever side of the transaction they are on. I also own a number of investment properties and bring an investor's perspective into the mix.

Prior to venturing into real estate sales, I retired from a long career in financial services, most recently as Managing Director of a major diversified company. I bring passion and attention to detail to my work.

Testimonials

"I had an amazing experience with Stephen Storen. He understood exactly what I wanted and was able to provide me many options. We saw a number of places that all fit my criteria and were everything I was looking for. Stephen was extremely flexible and was able to accommodate my busy schedule. In addition to being professional, he was friendly and someone I knew I could count on for honesty, and knowledge. I have already recommended Stephen to many of my friends and would absolutely use him in the future if needed." - Lauren G.

"My long, drawn out co-op purchase due to a difficult seller would not have closed if not for Stephen Storen. From the moment we met it was clear Steve was an experienced agent. He immediately identified and showed me apartments and then negotiated the best deal. He kept me updated as the transaction went forward, always treated me as his most important client and was always available to me. In addition, Steve is personable and easy to talk to. I highly recommend Steve whether you are buying or selling." - Susan G.

"Steve helped me find my first home. He was knowledgeable with co-op board processes, handled every situation in a professional manner, and was quick with responding to all inquiries. I couldn't ask for anything more from Steve. I would most definitely recommend Steve to anyone, whether it be their first or tenth home." - Danny S.

“Our family successfully sold our late mother’s co-op apartment with the great support of Denise De Maria and Steve Storen. They both helped throughout the process, dealing with issues and delays that were exacerbated due to the pandemic and the fact that all of our family live outside of Forest Hills. With their patience, persistence and expertise, our mother’s apartment closed successfully. Based on our experience, anyone needing a realtor in Forest Hills will be in excellent hands with Denise and Steve.” - J.M.

"After renting for most of my life, I decided that mid-2021 was the right time to jump into the chaos of the NYC real estate market. My friend Steve Storen of the BHS Forest Hills office saw my social media post inquiring about realtors and quickly reached out to offer his assistance. After a conversation about my needs, wants, and budget, he connected me with an agent in the area of Manhattan where I was looking. Despite the pressures of the current market and an extremely aggressive timeline, I was able to find the apartment I was looking for and close with plenty of time to get things ready and move before the end of the lease on my rental. As a first-time buyer, I am extremely grateful for the help and guidance offered to me by Steve and his colleagues at BHS."--J.G.
