therealdeal.com – Even as big regional and national firms expand into Brooklyn, the majority of brokers and agents work for companies that have little or no footprint in Manhattan. Real estate giants and mom-and-pop firms alike take spots on The Real Deal’s 2016 ranking of Brooklyn brokerages by number of licensed brokers and salespeople, based on New York Department of State data.

While Douglas Elliman, the Corcoran Group and Halstead Property take top spots in Manhattan’s ranking by agent count, their dominance and numerical advantage is less pronounced in Brooklyn.
