Underscoring the tremendous success it has achieved as the exclusive sales agent for MeadowWood at Gateway, Fillmore Real Estate, New York City’s largest privately-owned and operated residential real estate firm, announced more than 350 successful sales at Brooklyn’s largest affordable condominium complex.In fact, more than 60 homes have gone into contract since January and there is a waiting list of qualified buyers for several units.
In sharp contrast to the slowdown reported by many in the industry, MeadowWood has reached a number of milestone sales achievements in 2009, including being named the year’s number one selling project in Brooklyn to date, according to the August 2009 edition of The Real Deal. Describing MeadowWood’s remarkable sales, Fillmore Director of Sales & Vice President Jean-Paul Ho says. “Prices rose three times in 2008 and remained steady in 2009, which attests to the building’s strong investment value.”
“This project is made special by the people who live here,” says Ho, who notes that working and middle-class families, such as teachers, nurses, police officers, correction officers, homeland security and union workers, many with an average income of $63,000, comprise the majority of sales. “Family Day is a way for us to give back to the community and to thank them for making MeadowWood the success that it is.”
To assist first-time buyers, Fillmore Avenue L sponsors free homebuyer seminars, which exposes attendees to a number of grants and low-interest loans with only three percent down from which they can benefit. Ho says the classes have been averaging 80 to 100 attendees per session. Those who complete the seminar are fully prepared to purchase a home. The seminars are held every other Saturday at MeadowWood.
MeadowWood at Gateway’s sales office is located at 12205 Flatlands Avenue. It’s open Monday-Friday from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. and 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays.
