Gabriel Kates

Co-founder, Managing Principal

Get to Know Gabriel

Since joining the industry, Gabe has consistently ranked as one of the top brokers in Brooklyn focused on overseeing transactions throughout the neighborhoods of Park Slope, Carroll Gardens, Cobble Hill, Boerum Hill, Downtown Brooklyn, Brooklyn Heights, Prospect Heights, Fort Greene, Clinton Hill, Williamsburg, Greenpoint, and Crown Heights. His in-depth, block-by-block knowledge of all the neighborhoods he represents combined with his professionalism, discretion, and honesty have driven him to the top of his field.

With a specialization in investment property and townhouse sales, Gabe has represented several of the most exceptional properties in Brooklyn’s most desirable neighborhoods. His extensive track record and finely tuned understanding of the Brooklyn investment property and townhouse market allows Gabe to give prospective sellers the most accurate analysis of their property’s market value, which is frequently not in line with the DOF’s assessment of property value.

Gabe offers his clients an unparalleled understanding of the Brooklyn townhouse market, a customizable and strategic approach to marketing, and a thorough understanding of start-to-finish deal execution from proactively finding the right buyer to contract negotiation to closing. And with his many close connections to other active brokers, lawyers, accountants, architects, contractors, and lenders in the area, Gabe has a superb network of real estate professionals to draw from.

Gabe earned his Bachelor of Science degree in finance with a concentration in real estate from the New York University Stern School of Business. When he isn’t in the office, he enjoys trying new restaurants, (hopelessly) working to improve his golf game and spending time with friends and family.
