A true New Yorker and over twenty years a resident, she has deep knowledge of the city and loves helping her clients discover their dream home.

Beginning her career in 2010 selling buildings and land at a boutique downtown firm, she accelerated her success through the support of her loyal clients, referrals, and strong relationships with industry colleagues. Yesim’s commitment and discretion are highly valued by her clients, which include celebrities, international ultra-high-net-worth individuals, entrepreneurs and creatives in the arts, film, fashion, and tech industries.

Yesim has marketed and sold properties around the city and focuses primarily on downtown Manhattan and prime neighborhoods in Brooklyn. While Yesim’s expertise is in New York, she has developed alliances and advises clients with their second homes or investment properties in the Hamptons and Los Angeles.
