Get To Know Me

Kathleen Perkins is a successful Brooklyn townhouse specialist with unique expertise in selling these wonderful homes and commanding above asking prices for her listings. Licensed in 1990, she is extremely knowledgeable of the townhouse market having purchased and renovated several of her own investment properties over the years, and helped many sellers achieve record-breaking prices – as much as $1,000,000 over ask combined in her last three exclusive sales!

No one has the creativity, ingenuity and marketing prowess that compares to Kathleen. She has excelled in her niche market because she understands pricing, is very well connected, and implements creative marketing that generates attention for homes. The ultimate key to her impressive sales record, however, is knowing how to present a property; not just the staging and styling end, but the entire transformation so it shines in photos and showings. Kathleen has an innate talent for design and renovation, and works with a crew to prep and reinvent a space, making light repairs and optimizing curb appeal.

Her excellence in real estate is the natural result of her extensive track record developing multi-million dollar projects from conception to completion. Kathleen continues to partner with eminent NYC architects and interior designers, and to draw upon her illustrious background in high-end baths and kitchens during her many years at Waterworks. She has collaborated with prominent names, and secured and sold ultra-luxurious homes to notable clients. Deservedly, Kathleen has been featured in top media for her exclusives, with her homes often chose as “house of the day” on the popular Brownstoner blog.

A proud Brooklyn resident for over 15 years, Kathleen has great relationships with local brokers. She often wins bidding wars for buyers by prepping them well, preparing spot-on finance packages, and capitalizing on her reputation for working with buyers who can close.

Raised in New York and California, Kathleen’s Hollywood writer father exposed her to great people and places at a young age. She graduated from Cornell University, began her career on Wall Street, and ended up in real estate finance before pursuing her creative side. Kathleen lives in a 19th Century Carriage House in Fort Greene, her latest project, featured in area home tours since 2009. She has traveled the world, and is active in international children’s philanthropy as a board member of The Thorn Tree Project.
