Cynthia Jacinta Keskinkaya - Berkshire Hathaway New York Properties

Cynthia entered the industry as a teenager – 18 to be exact – when she was recruited by Robert Hertzka Real Estate., Although she was attending Pace University, studying for a degree in international banking, she was intrigued enough to accept Hertzka’s offer. She was a natural, and her first-ever real estate transaction – the sale of three buildings – proved his intuition was right. Cynthia learned the real estate business from the ground up, and as she matured in her career, so did her skills, among them negotiating, managing complex transactions, use of technology, and attention to detail. Today, she is known not only as a top-ranked residential real estate broker, she is widely acknowledged as a trusted real estate advisor to her clients. Whether they are buyers, sellers, investors – from New York City, the rest of the United States or overseas – they know that Cynthia will get them the home of their dreams, no matter how complicated the deal is, at the best price, in a timely manner. And she makes it a point to stay in contact with her clients – even after their transactions are completed – providing them with nuanced market advice that influences their housing decisions, whether it’s to buy, sell, invest or simply hold tight. Among her specialties is working with international buyers and investors. A native of Portugal, Cynthia - who is fluent in English, Portuguese, Spanish and conversant in Turkish - innately understands how to work with foreign clients, knowing that understanding the culture is critical to identifying the right properties and neighborhoods that address their specific demands. And her expertise in and knowledge of the intricacies of the Manhattan market serves her local, domestic and international clients well. They rely on her, and that is evidenced by the fact that 95% of Cynthia’s business is repeat and referral customers. And her business is booming, with Cynthia having sold more than $250,000,000 worth of properties in her career. In a highly competitive industry where there are three times the number of listing agents as there are properties, Cynthia has consistently been honored as one of New York’s top agents. After Robert Hertzka Real Estate, she worked at The Corcoran Group, where she achieved top broker status. At Douglas Elliman, where she has been for 11 years, Cynthia has racked up award after award, and is a member of the prestigious Elliman Frank Knight Global Network, a group that only top producers with an international clientele and business track record are invited to join. This allows Cynthia to participate in their global conferences, giving her further insight into markets and real estate trends. She is also a recipient of the Pinnacle Award, the highest award given at Douglas Elliman. Cynthia’s other accolades include:
