Helping Global Buyers Navigate the NYC Market with Clarity, Confidence & Results
As a seasoned New York City real estate expert with over 15 years of experience, I specialize in assisting international buyers who are seeking the right investment or primary residence in one of the world’s most dynamic property markets.
Whether you're purchasing a pied-à-terre, acquiring a long-term income-producing asset, or relocating your family to Manhattan, I offer hands-on guidance every step of the way — from selecting the right neighborhood to understanding co-op vs. condo regulations, navigating financing options, and managing legal, tax, and board approval processes.
Why work with me?
✅ Deep understanding of foreign buyer needs, financing nuances, and investment criteria
✅ Trusted expertise in co-ops, condos, and new developments throughout Manhattan
✅ Concierge support — including referrals to trusted attorneys, mortgage brokers, accountants, and property managers
✅ Clear communication and complete transparency to help you make informed decisions across borders and time zones
With a background in law and finance, and as a Certified Negotiation Expert, I protect your interests and simplify a process that can otherwise feel overwhelming. I treat every transaction as if it were my own — and every client as if they were family.
