Aaron Isquith is a successful Associate Broker with Dwell Residential in Park Slope; prior to that, he was with Warren Lewis Realty/Sotheby's International, also in Park Slope.

 

He has always loved teaching, and feels that while skills can be learned, and ethics imparted through example, each new realtor has to find her own style and techniques in this profession.

 

Aaron has great depth in cooperative management, and was a board member of his 111 unit cooperative corporation for many years, serving both as Treasurer and President. As such, he knows, first hand, the intricacies of building management, board responsibilities and the basics of construction. As a board member and realtor, he has dealt with financial institutions and lawyers, and is fluent with the needs of both buyers and sellers.

 

Because of the depth of his knowledge of cooperatives, he knows what boards are looking for in applicants, and when he represents purchasers, he ensures that his clients fully understood the process and application demands. In fact, Aaron reviews each cooperative purchase application, ensuring that each of his clients are able to present themselves in the best light.

 

Aaron is firmly convinced that his personal needs and commissions take second place to his client's needs and desires. Better to treat a client honestly and ethically than to earn a quick commission.

 

He believes in long-term thinking, and his client base reflects this. He has clients who have purchased than sold and purchased again through Aaron as their realtor. He believes that even though there may be no purchase or sale imminent, time and effort is never wasted in fostering a relationship. He has maintained relationships which only years later resulted in a listing. 

 

As such, many of his clients have become dear friends.

 

Aaron is predominantly a lister and is thankful for the many referrals that come his way due to his honesty and firm grip on ethics and responsibility. A realtor is a professional, and must be fully cognizant of his fiduciary responsibilities to his clients.

 

Aaron was a visiting scholar at a major university, and at the same time, delivered numerous lectures to audiences of up to 600 people. Concurrent to the university, he worked with the National Park System as an expert on Hohokam petroglyphs, and often walked the national park trails ensuring hiker safety. Now, he volunteers at Ellis Island National Museum of Immigration, meets visitors from all over the world, and describes the immigrant experience through Ellis Island history and personal family experience.

 

He and his wife have lived on Grand Army Plaza in Brooklyn since the early 1980s, enjoy traveling, hiking, reading and serious music. And he is still amazed that he attended the last Brooklyn Dodger game at Ebbets Field.
