Elena Vasili is a dedicated real estate professional with a unique background and a commitment to personalized service. Originally from the beautiful city of Athens, Greece, she's been serving the vibrant communities of Downtown and Midtown Manhattan for the past five years, though she also has a strong connection to Astoria and Bayside. While establishing herself as a freelance makeup artist for celebrities, designers, photographers, and fashion studios, Elena fell in love with the city's arts, culture, and community. Her journey into real estate began as she worked with celebrities in their luxury homes, which inspired her passion for beautiful living spaces. Soon after, she earned her real estate license in New York, drawing upon her earlier experience working part-time as a help desk agent in a real estate brokerage office owned by family friends.
Elena's most defining characteristics are honesty, loyalty, and organizational skills, traits that shine through in her client-centric approach. What sets her apart is her unwavering commitment to personalized service and a deep understanding of the local market. She tailors her solutions to meet each client's unique needs, communicates clearly and efficiently, excels in negotiation, and leverages technology for maximum exposure. Elena also believes in educating her clients, providing market insights, and fostering empowerment. Her favorite aspect of the real estate business is helping first-time homebuyers achieve their dreams.
Clients describe Elena as honest, attentive to details, and an exceptional negotiator, a reflection of Elena’s extensive background. She holds a degree in entrepreneurship from the College of Arts in Athens, along with certifications as a Sales Professional and a Certified Negotiation Expert (CNE®) from RENI NYC, as well as a Licensed Real Estate Salesperson certification from the New York Real Estate Institute NYC. While always inspired by her clients and ambitions, her proudest accomplishment is having the courage to leave her home country in pursuit of her dreams and never giving up, even when faced with challenging situations that tested her resolve.
In her free time, Elena indulges in various hobbies, including dancing tango, cycling, watching polo, visiting museums, and attending theaters and ballet performances. She actively volunteers at the Greek Orthodox Churches in Bayside and Astoria, where she also appreciates the vibrant Greek community, Mediterranean cuisine from local restaurants, and, of course, Greek souvlaki. Elena's family, including her happily married parents and her older brother, who is a Film Director and Actor, have been a constant source of inspiration and support for her.
