                         ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
                                 APRIL 28, 2005

                                  INTRODUCTION
 
    This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation of
proxies on behalf of the Board of Directors of Cohen & Steers Quality Income
Realty Fund, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the 'Fund'), to be voted at the
Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Fund, to be held at the offices of the
Fund, 757 Third Avenue, 20th Floor, New York, New York 10017, on April 28, 2005
at 10:00 a.m. New York City time, and at any adjournments thereof (collectively,
the 'Meeting'). The solicitation will be by mail and the cost (including
printing and mailing this Proxy Statement, meeting notice and form of proxy, as
well as any necessary supplementary solicitation) will be borne by the Fund
pursuant to the terms of the investment advisory agreement described below. The
Notice of Meeting, Proxy Statement and Proxy are being mailed to stockholders on
or about March 18, 2005.
 
    In accordance with the Fund's by-laws, the presence in person or by proxy of
the holders of record of a majority of the shares of the Fund issued and
outstanding and entitled to vote thereat shall constitute a quorum at the
Meeting. If, however, a quorum shall not be present or represented at the
Meeting or if fewer shares are present in person or by proxy than is the minimum
required to take action with respect to any proposal presented at the Meeting,
the holders of a majority of the shares of the Fund present in person or by
proxy shall have the power to adjourn the Meeting from time to time, without
notice other than announcement at the Meeting, until the requisite number of
shares entitled to vote at the Meeting shall be present. At any adjourned
Meeting, if the relevant quorum is subsequently constituted, any business may be
transacted which might have been transacted at the Meeting as originally called.
For purposes of determining the presence of a quorum for transacting business at
the Meeting, abstentions and broker 'non-votes' (that is, proxies from brokers
or nominees indicating that they have not received instructions from the
beneficial owner or other persons entitled to vote shares on a particular matter
with respect to which the brokers or nominees do not have discretionary power)
will be treated as shares that are present but which have not been voted. For
this reason, abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on obtaining
the requisite approval of each proposal.
 
    The Board of Directors has fixed the close of business on March 10, 2005 as
the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of and
to vote at the Meeting. The outstanding voting shares of the Fund as of
March 10, 2005 consisted of 38,733,605 shares of common stock and 17,360 Taxable
Auction Market Preferred Shares, liquidation preference $25,000 per share, each
share being entitled to one vote. All properly executed proxies received prior
to the Meeting will be voted at the Meeting in accordance with the instructions
marked thereon or as otherwise provided therein. Accordingly, unless
instructions to the contrary are marked, proxies will be voted for the election
of the Directors. Any stockholder may revoke his proxy at any time prior to
exercise thereof by giving written
 
                                       1
 


 


notice to the Secretary of the Fund at its offices at 757 Third Avenue, New
York, New York 10017, or by signing another proxy of a later date or by
personally casting his vote at the Meeting.
 
    THE MOST RECENT ANNUAL AND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORTS OF THE FUND, INCLUDING
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, HAVE BEEN PREVIOUSLY MAILED TO STOCKHOLDERS. IF YOU HAVE
NOT RECEIVED THESE REPORTS OR WOULD LIKE TO RECEIVE ADDITIONAL COPIES FREE OF
CHARGE, PLEASE CONTACT LAWRENCE B. STOLLER, ASSISTANT SECRETARY OF THE FUND AT
757 THIRD AVENUE, NEW YORK, NEW YORK 10017, (800) 330-7348, AND THEY WILL BE
SENT PROMPTLY BY FIRST-CLASS MAIL.
 
                                  PROPOSAL ONE
                             ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
 
    At the Meeting, three Directors will be elected to serve for a term of three
years and until their successors are duly elected and qualified and one Director
will be elected to serve for a term of one year and until his successor is duly
elected and qualified. The nominees for Director are Bonnie Cohen, Willard H.
Smith Jr. and Richard E. Kroon, for terms to expire in 2008 and C. Edward Ward,
Jr., for a term to expire in 2006. It is the intention of the persons named in
the enclosed proxy to nominate and vote in favor of the nominees. Ms. Cohen and
Mr. Smith are standing for re-election. Mr. Kroon and Mr. Ward were elected as
Directors by the other Directors of the Fund effective as of November 4, 2004.
Mr. Kroon and Mr. Ward were nominated by the Nominating Committee of the Fund's
Board of Directors after first being identified as potential Directors by
several members of that Committee. At the Meeting, the holders of the Fund's
Taxable Auction Market Preferred Shares will have equal voting rights with the
holders of the Fund's common stock (i.e., one vote per share), and will vote
together with the holders of the Fund's common stock as a single class on the
election of Messrs. Kroon and Ward and Ms. Cohen. The holders of the Fund's
Taxable Auction Market Preferred Shares, voting separately as a class, have the
right to elect two Directors of the Fund. The holders of the Fund's common stock
do not have the right to vote with respect to the election of these two
Directors, who are Martin Cohen and Willard H. Smith Jr. Mr. Smith is standing
for re-election at the meeting as his term expires in 2005. The holders of the
Fund's Taxable Auction Market Preferred Shares, voting separately as a class,
will vote for the election of Mr. Smith. Mr. Cohen is not standing for
re-election at the meeting as his term does not expire until 2007. In addition
to the Fund, each nominee also currently serves as Director of the thirteen
other funds within the Cohen & Steers Fund Complex.

    At the Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on April 24, 2003, the Fund's
stockholders elected the Board of Directors to staggered terms. Accordingly, the
term of office of only a single class of Directors will expire in 2005. As a
result of this system, only those Directors in any one class may be changed in
any one year, and it would require two years or more to change a majority of the
Board of Directors. This system of electing Directors, which may be regarded as
an 'anti-takeover' provision, may have the effect of maintaining the continuity
of management and, thus, make it more difficult for the Fund's stockholders to
change the majority of Directors.

    The nominees have consented to serve as Directors. The Board of Directors of
the Fund knows of no reason why a nominee would be unable to serve, but in the
event of such unavailability, the proxies received will be voted for such
substitute nominee as the Board of Directors may recommend.
 
    Certain information concerning Messrs. Kroon, Ward and Smith and Ms. Cohen
and the other members of the Board of Directors is set forth as follows:

'D' If elected at the Meeting.
 
    The Fund does not have a policy with regard to the Directors' attendance at
annual meetings and none of the Directors attended the Fund's 2004 annual
meeting.
 
    During the Fund's fiscal year ended December 31, 2004, the Board of
Directors met seven times. Each Director attended at least 75% of the aggregate
number of meetings of the Board of Directors and the Committees for which he or
she was eligible. The Fund maintains four standing Board Committees, the Audit
Committee, the Nominating Committee, the Contract Review Committee and the
Governance Committee of the Board of Directors. The Directors serving on each
Committee are not 'interested persons' of the Fund, as defined in Section
2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 'Act'), and
otherwise satisfy the applicable standards for independence of a committee
member of an investment company issuer under the federal securities laws and
under applicable listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange. The members
of the Nominating and Contract Review Committees are Ms. Cohen and Messrs.
Kroon, Grossman, Norman, Ross, Smith and Ward. The members of the Governance
Committee are Messrs. Norman, Ward and Smith. The members of the Audit Committee
are Ms. Cohen and Messrs. Ross, Kroon and Grossman. The Board of Directors
determined that Mr. Ross meets the requirements necessary to serve as an audit
committee

financial expert and that the Audit Committee members are financially literate,
for purposes of the New York Stock Exchange listing standards.
 
    The Audit Committee met four times during the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2004 and operates pursuant to a written charter adopted by the
Board. The main function of the Audit Committee is to oversee the Fund's
accounting and financial reporting policies and practices and its internal
controls, including by assisting with the Board's oversight of the integrity of
the Fund's financial statements, the Fund's compliance with legal and regulatory
requirements, the selection, retention, qualifications and independence of the
Fund's independent auditors and the performance of the Fund's internal control
systems and independent auditors.
 
    The Nominating Committee met twice during the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2004 and operates pursuant to a written charter adopted by the
Board. A current copy of the charter is not available on the Fund's website, but
it was filed with the Fund's proxy statement in 2004. The main functions of the
Nominating Committee are (i) to identify individuals qualified to become members
of the Board in the event that a position is vacated or created, (ii) to select
the Director nominees for the next annual meeting of stockholders and (iii) to
set any necessary standards or qualifications for service on the Board. The
Nominating Committee will consider director candidates recommended by
stockholders, provided that any such stockholder recommendation is submitted in
writing to the Fund, to the attention of the Secretary, at the address of the
principal executive offices of the Fund and further provided that such
recommendation includes all other information specified in the charter.
 
    The Nominating Committee requires that Director candidates have a college
degree or equivalent business experience. The Committee may take into account a
wide variety of factors in considering Director candidates, including (but not
limited to): (i) availability and commitment of a candidate to attend meetings
and perform his or her responsibilities on the Board, (ii) relevant industry and
related experience, (iii) educational background, (iv) financial and other
relevant experience, (v) an assessment of the candidate's character, integrity,
ability and judgment (vi) whether or not the candidate serves on boards of, or
is otherwise affiliated with, competing financial service organizations or their
related mutual fund complexes, (vii) whether or not the candidate has any
relationships that might impair his or her independence and (viii) overall
interplay of a candidate's experience, skill and knowledge with that of other
Committee members. In identifying potential nominees for the Board, the
Committee may consider candidates recommended by one or more of the following
sources: (i) the Fund's current Directors, (ii) the Fund's officers, (iii) the
Fund's investment manager, (iv) the Fund's stockholders (see above) and (v) any
other source the Committee deems to be appropriate. The Committee may, but is
not required to, retain a third party search firm at the Fund's expense to
identify potential candidates.
 
    The Contract Review Committee met twice during the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2004 and operates pursuant to a written charter adopted by the
Board in September 2004. The main functions of the Contract Review Committee are
to make recommendations to the Board of Directors after reviewing advisory and
other contracts that the Fund has with the Adviser and to select third parties
to provide evaluative reports and other information regarding the services
provided by the Adviser to the Board.
 
    The Governance Committee did not meet during the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2004. It operates pursuant to a written charter adopted by the
Board in September 2004. The main function of the Governance Committee is to
assist the Board in the oversight of appropriate and effective governance of the
Fund. The Governance Committee oversees, among other things, the structure and

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT
 
    The Audit Committee has met with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, the Fund's
independent registered public accounting firm, to discuss the scope of the
engagement, review the Fund's financial statements, and discuss the statements
and audit results with management. The Audit Committee discussed with
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP the matters required to be discussed by the Statement
on Auditing Standards 61, received the written disclosures and the letter from
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP required by the Independence Standards Board Standard
No. 1 and discussed with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP the independent registered
public accounting firm's independence. Based on these reviews and discussions,
the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited
financial statements of the Fund be included in the Fund's annual report to
stockholders for the last fiscal year.

whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or

entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Adviser that
provides ongoing services to the registrant were $95,600 and $98,800,

    The Audit Committee considered whether the provision of non-audit services
that were rendered to the Adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is
primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another
investment adviser) and/or to any entity controlling, controlled by or under
common control with the Adviser that provides ongoing services to the Fund that
were not pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of
Regulation S-X was compatible with maintaining the principal accountant's
