Kirsten Syrett

Kirsten Syrett is a Brooklyn-based real estate broker with Compass who brings an adventurous spirit, deep hyper-local expertise, and hands-on investment experience to every client relationship. She specializes in helping buyers and sellers navigate Brooklyn’s competitive townhouse, co-op, condo, and multifamily markets.

Kirsten’s path to real estate began in the skies. As a New York City–based flight attendant for Delta Air Lines, she traveled the world while maintaining a home base in the city she loved. After successfully negotiating a buyout of her rent-stabilized East Village apartment and purchasing her first Brooklyn co-op, she discovered both a passion and a natural talent for real estate.

She launched her brokerage career in 2002 at a boutique firm in Boerum Hill, initially helping townhouse owners secure long-term tenants. Recognizing the wealth-building potential of Brooklyn brownstones and multifamily properties, Kirsten expanded her practice to guide buyers and sellers through townhouse, co-op, and condo transactions across brownstone Brooklyn.

Over the years, Kirsten has personally renovated multiple properties — including a historic townhouse in Prospect Lefferts Gardens and a three-family home in Cobble Hill — giving her clients valuable real-world insight into renovation, investment strategy, and property value optimization.

Today, Kirsten is known for her clear guidance, meticulous attention to detail, and steady, hands-on approach throughout the buying and selling process — from pricing strategy and marketing through co-op board approvals and closing. Her core neighborhood focus includes Cobble Hill, Carroll Gardens, Boerum Hill, Park Slope, Prospect Lefferts Gardens, and Prospect Heights.

Kirsten joined Compass in 2017 and is a member of the Real Estate Board of New York (REBNY). She holds the New York Residential Specialist (NYRS) designation and is a Certified Negotiation Expert (CNE).

Originally from Northern England, Kirsten moved to the United States at age twelve, living in Indiana, Maryland, and Georgia before making New York City home in the early 1990s. She lives in Brooklyn with her husband, where they raised their two children. True to her adventurous roots, the family’s favorite vacations always involve a good hike — preferably a loop.
