Brooklyn brokers since 2011
An independent brokerage in a converted DUMBO printing plant, built by people who buy, rent and raise families in the borough.
Why we started
Nadia Brooks opened Urban Loft after watching too many buyers sign co-op contracts without reading the minutes. The idea was simple: a brokerage that treats paperwork as the product. Fifteen years later that is still how we work, from studio rentals to eight-family buildings.
Our services
How we work
Six rules every agent signs on day one.
Read every page
Offering plans, minutes, leases and financials. The surprises are always in the documents.
One side per deal
We never represent buyer and seller on the same apartment. You always have your own agent.
Numbers over adjectives
Prices come from closed comps, not from what a seller hopes or a portal guesses.
Answer same day
Calls and texts returned the same business day, including weekends during a live deal.
Small by design
Eleven agents in one office, so the person who prices your home also negotiates it.
Fair housing, always
Every client is served equally under federal, state and city fair housing laws.
The people on Jay Street
Six of our eleven agents. Everyone lives in Brooklyn and specializes in a clear slice of the market.
