We help Brooklyn buyers and sellers navigate condo, coop and multifamily transactions with local market knowledge and hands on service. Capri Jet Realty, Corp. has been a North Brooklyn mainstay for over 30 years and we focus on the neighborhoods, building types and transaction details you will encounter here.
Why we focus on Brooklyn
We are a Brooklyn based agency rooted in Williamsburg. Our founder, Robert Napolitano, brings three generations of Williamsburg family roots and local relationships to every transaction. That history matters because Brooklyn neighborhoods vary block by block. Knowing which areas favor condos, which still have prewar coops, and where multifamily investment returns are driven by local rent patterns changes how we advise clients.
Our team works with buyers, sellers and investors on residential and commercial properties. We maintain a network of attorneys, contractors, stagers and mortgage brokers so that each transaction moves with the right specialists on call. We also offer a complimentary tax consultation with our in house specialist, Mario Saggese, CPA, to help you understand tax considerations tied to a purchase or sale.
Neighborhoods and property types we serve
Brooklyn is a collection of neighborhoods with different housing types and decision factors. We work across North Brooklyn and nearby areas, matching clients to the right properties and the right process.
- Williamsburg and North Brooklyn condos and new developments
- Greenpoint and Brooklyn Heights coops and brick townhouses
- DUMBO condominium resales and waterfront offerings
- Park Slope and Carroll Gardens family homes and brownstones
- Multifamily investments in core Brooklyn corridors
Local conditions that affect buying and selling
Brooklyn transactions are influenced by building governance, local financing norms and neighborhood supply. Coops commonly require board review and additional financial documentation, while condos have common charges and resale processes that differ from coops. Multifamily purchases require detailed rent roll and expense review to assess returns and financing alternatives.
Watch out: Coop board procedures and building specific rules can add time and documentation to a purchase. If you are looking at coops in neighborhoods with older cooperative buildings, expect a rigorous board review and be prepared with complete financial documentation and references.
How we work with buyers and sellers in Brooklyn
We start by clarifying your priorities and matching them to neighborhood realities. For buyers that means prioritizing commute, schools, building amenities and resale prospects. For sellers it means preparing the property to appeal to the pool of local buyers, positioning the listing and coordinating staging and photography.
What our process usually covers
- Property and neighborhood evaluation with a focus on resale drivers
- Comparative market analysis and pricing guidance
- Coordination with attorneys, mortgage brokers and inspectors
- Assistance with coop board packages and condo documents
- Post offer support through closing and transfer of title

Typical customer needs and what good looks like
Brooklyn clients come to us with a few common goals. Buyers often want a neighborhood that fits lifestyle and future resale value. Sellers want a clean, well documented sale with minimal surprises. Investors want accurate cash flow projections and practical building condition assessments.
Documents and items we commonly prepare
- Completed financial statements for coop board submissions
- Recent condo offering plans and HOA budget summaries
- Rent rolls and expense histories for multifamily properties
- Clear title and previous sale documentation for sellers
Pro tip: When evaluating an older Brooklyn building, ask for recent capital improvement records and any pending assessments. Those items affect monthly ownership costs and buyer interest.
When you need local specialists
Brooklyn transactions often require coordination with specialists. We work with experienced closing attorneys familiar with New York property law, mortgage brokers who understand local underwriting for coops and condos, and contractors who can estimate repairs for negotiation. Our in house tax advisor, Mario Saggese, CPA, provides targeted guidance about tax implications during a sale or purchase.

Common questions from Brooklyn buyers and sellers

Frequently asked questions
How do coops and condos differ in Brooklyn?
Coops are governed by a cooperative corporation and typically require a board approval process for buyers. Condos grant individual title to units and have a separate common charge structure. Both have resale procedures that vary by building and we review the building documents with you before you proceed.
What should I know about multifamily investments in Brooklyn?
Multifamily purchases require careful rent roll analysis, expense verification and inspection of building systems. Local rent patterns, zoning and tenant protections matter when estimating returns. We can connect you to specialists for a detailed rent roll review and building inspection.
Can you help with tax questions related to a sale?
Yes. We offer a complimentary tax consultation with our in house specialist, Mario Saggese, CPA. He can explain common tax considerations for property sales and ownership, but formal tax filing or legal advice should come from your tax advisor or attorney.
Which Brooklyn neighborhoods are good for first time buyers?
That depends on your priorities for commute, schools and price range. Neighborhoods differ widely in building type and price per square foot. We start by mapping your budget to the neighborhoods that fit your needs and then show options that match your lifestyle.
