Sandra Ripert

A native New Yorker, Sandra Ripert brings a lifelong love of Manhattan, a strong financial background, and more than two decades of real estate experience to every client relationship.

Sandra began her career on Wall Street in 1986 as an Equity Sales Trader at JPMorgan before transitioning to real estate in 2001 and joining Douglas Elliman. Her background in finance, research, negotiation, and client service gives her a thoughtful and strategic approach to buying and selling New York City real estate.

Having lived in the Upper East Side, Upper West Side, and Downtown, Sandra has an intimate knowledge of Manhattan’s neighborhoods and the unique character of each community. She specializes in helping clients navigate the market, identify exceptional homes and investment opportunities, and make informed decisions. She believes strongly in educating her clients and uses detailed Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) reports to help sellers understand their property’s value and buyers evaluate opportunities with confidence.

Sandra is also deeply connected to New York’s culinary and cultural community through her role as Cultural Attaché and restaurant connoisseur at Le Bernardin, the acclaimed restaurant owned and operated by her husband, Chef Eric Ripert.

Giving back to New York has always been an important part of Sandra’s life. For more than two decades, she has been actively involved with City Harvest, volunteering at Mobile Markets, rescuing food at the Union Square Greenmarket, and helping raise awareness about food insecurity.

Known for her energy, enthusiasm, and extensive network, Sandra builds relationships based on trust, discretion, and personal attention.

“Finding your new home or selling your current one is a challenge we take on together. My goal is to make the process informed, seamless, and successful—and to be your trusted resource every step of the way.”
