Sean grew up in the Midwest. Elina grew up in Russia. New York is where they both landed — and where they both found real estate, and each other.
Sean is a practicing attorney and former Wall Street lawyer. Elina comes from a family of architects, studied finance, and became a top producer at her first brokerage. Different backgrounds, different paths — but the same market, and eventually the same team.
Between them: 3 decades in NYC real estate, 2,500 transactions across Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens. The Brewer Team now manages over 1,000 rental units and works with buyers, sellers, and landlords across every corner of the market.
They built the team around one idea: that buyers, sellers, and landlords shouldn't need three different brokers. Rentals, resales, new developments — handled by one team that knows how each side of a transaction affects the other.
The clients who work with them once tend to come back for everything else. Not because they have to. Because it's easier when someone already knows your situation, your goals, and what you're actually looking for.

"Sean represented me in selling my existing property and subsequently buying a new one in New York City. I am particularly impressed with Sean's knowledge of the market in Brooklyn and Queen's. I have spent the last 20 years living in Manhattan and was reluctant to move out of Manhattan. However, Sean was able to recommend between 15-20 total properties in Brooklyn and Queen's to me. All the properties were amazing: all were newly built, in good locations, and well within my budget. Unlike other agents I have worked with, Sean never tri...
"Sean represented me in selling my existing property and subsequently buying a new one in New York City. I am particularly impressed with Sean's knowledge of the market in Brooklyn and Queen's. I have spent the last 20 years living in Manhattan and was reluctant to move out of Manhattan. However, Sean was able to recommend between 15-20 total properties in Brooklyn and Queen's to me. All the properties were amazing: all were newly built, in good locations, and well within my budget. Unlike other agents I have worked with, Sean never tried to push properties that were beyond my budget on me. In addition, Sean also helped negotiate away the NYC transfer tax that the sponsor of the building wanted me to pay, saving me $20,000 on my purchase price. Overall, I found Sean and his team to be attentive to my needs, and they were also responsive to queries and concerns that I raised when I both sold and bought a property through them. I heartily recommend Sean's services and would work with him and his team again without hesitation."
"Absolutely phenomenal support throughout the home search. Was extremely well informed when it came to the neighborhoods and types of properties I was looking for. Always provided honest feedback regardless of whether it would expedite or prolong the process. Could not recommend enough. Work with The Brewer Team if you're looking to buy a property!"
