Elyse Dubin has been buying and selling real estate for over 20 years, following the market closely and advising clients, friends, and family on how to best position themselves for a sale or purchase. “I am very detail-oriented and focused, and for as long as I can remember people have asked for my help with their real estate questions and property searches. The success I have had with real estate in my personal life is what inspired me to get my license in 2003--I wanted to use that knowledge and experience to help others navigate the New York market successfully, and it really is a thrill when that happens.”
A native New Yorker, Elyse knows the city well and understands the diversity and individuality in its many interesting and wonderful neighborhoods. Her strong referral network provides clients with the best possible service in all areas--from mortgage professionals to contractors, lawyers, handymen, insurance agents, stagers, and interior designers. Whether you are looking to buy, sell, or rent, Elyse will give you the special attention you deserve and will guide you through the process smoothly and efficiently--from market analysis and pricing to finding the right investment to ensuring board approval--and always with a sense of humor and a smile. “Buying or selling a home is an extremely exciting and emotional prospect, and it can be stressful at times. My job is to make the process as painless as possible and earn the trust of my client. At the end of the day, what I want people to remember most about me is my ability to guide them through the entire process with skill and integrity.”
Prior to real estate, Elyse enjoyed a dynamic career as an executive in the book publishing industry, where she worked with demanding authors, managed budgets and vendors, and directed a large creative staff of editorial, design, and production specialists—making her an expert at working skillfully under deadline pressure and savvy at negotiating, multi-tasking, and interacting with a broad range of people—all key in real estate as well. “I really enjoy meeting new people, listening to their needs, establishing budget parameters, and searching for the perfect fit—and I will not rest until that happens. Elyse’s design experience comes in handy when representing buyers and sellers. “When preparing a property for sale I am happy to offer suggestions—moving some furniture to make a room look larger, adding fresh flowers, or painting a wall or putting some items in storage temporarily to remove clutter. Positive first impressions can make a significant difference in getting the best price for a seller, and sometimes even small changes can reap big rewards.” A real estate investor herself, Elyse also has a good eye for reconfiguring a space, which can help prospective buyers visualize the possibilities.
