Andrew Brinster

Named 2025 "Rising Star" for Brown Harris Stevens. Andrew Brinster grew up in Manhattan and has lived in New York City his entire life. Originally from the Yorkville area on the Upper East Side, Andrew called this neighborhood home for twenty-six years until he eventually saved up to buy his own apartment in Gramercy. He is a member of the Jessica Cohen Team, known for delivering exceptional service and expert guidance in every step of the real estate journey.

Andrew was introduced to the fundamentals of real estate at a young age. Growing up, Andrew’s parents moved him and his sister around a lot. Never leaving the neighborhood, they moved to a different apartment within the same building five times and to a different building two blocks north for their final move. He didn’t realize it then, but his parents were riding the 90’s market and making money each time. While this resulted in having six different bedrooms growing up, Andrew cherishes experiences as they instilled an entrepreneurial mindset that he brings to his business every day.
