Lina treats every client with care and respect, and will find the answer to any question that arises. She goes above and beyond to be of service, whether that means going to showings for them and doing Facetime if they can't make it, grabbing different paint swatches and helping them choose the ones they love, and remembering little things like names of pets, birthdays, favorite restaurants, etc. This kind of personalized attention sets her apart and endears her to everyone she works with. Clients particularly love her ability to put their minds at ease, multitask effectively, and remain calm under pressure. Lina has a very strict "No BS" approach that is just as much appreciated. "I don't like to waste people's time or have my time wasted either. I'm very blunt and to the point, and don't make false promises. This is an important decision for you, and you deserve to know the truth so you can feel confident and excited about your home and investment."Originally from Kharkiv, Ukraine, Lina moved to New York City in 1998 with her family. She graduated from Fashion Institute of Technology with an Associate's Degree in Fashion Business Management, and a Bachelor's in Advertising and Marketing Communications. Her career in fashion and hospitality honed her sales and customer service skills. Lina was an assistant manager-buyer for a high-end boutique, then entered the field of hospitality while juggling her own business as a Fashion Consultant. With NYC her playground since a young age, Lina loves helping people find their ideal homes here. She grew up in Forest Hills, Queens until moving to Midtown Manhattan, and South Williamsburg, Brooklyn. In her free time, you'll find her styling, organizing closets for client, on set for a fashion shoot, sourcing vintage designer gems, or crafting style revamp presentations for her clients. When she really needs to unplug, nothing beats listening to her favorite podcast and snuggling with her Pomeranian, Tony Montana.
