Rachel Glazer returns to Brown Harris Stevens from Compass

Rachel Glazer has rejoined Brown Harris Stevens from Compass, bringing her team and more than $1 billion in career sales back to the New York-based luxury brokerage, the firm announced Thursday.

Glazer previously spent 12 years at Brown Harris Stevens (BHS), where she was consistently recognized as the firm’s top downtown broker and as one of New York City’s leading luxury agents, according to the company announcement.

Her team closed more than $119 million in sales volume in 2025 and has transacted $1 billion-plus in sales over the course of her career. RealTrends Verified data shows that in 2024, Glazer closed 30 transaction sides, totaling $119.35 million in sales volume. This earned her the No. 25 rank in the state for sales volume in the 2025 RealTrends Verified Rankings.

Glazer’s business centers on high-profile and high net worth clients across Manhattan neighborhoods including the West Village, Upper West Side, Upper East Side, Tribeca, SoHo and Gramercy.

“I’m thrilled to be returning home to Brown Harris Stevens,” Glazer said in the announcement. “BHS has always stood apart because of its hands-on approach and its genuine dedication to supporting agents. I missed the boutique culture and collaborative environment that helped shape my career. Bess Freedman and Will Zeckendorf are really involved day to day and I am also excited to focus on new development which is a passion of mine.”

Glazer began her real estate career after moving to New York to attend the Fashion Institute of Technology and quickly established herself as a luxury specialist. 

“Rachel is one of New York’s most respected luxury brokers and a true relationship-driven professional. She built an extraordinary business here, and her return marks an exciting milestone as we continue to attract top talent across the industry,” Freedman, the CEO of BHS, said in a statement.

Her move comes as Brown Harris Stevens continues to bulk up its agent ranks. Over the past year, the firm has added agents whose combined career sales total more than $24 billion, according to the company.

BHS also recently announced a marketing partnership with FirstTeam, a top West Coast independent brokerage, to expand property marketing and referral opportunities.
