Lee Ann Jaffee

Intelligent, sincere, detailed and dedicated—these are the words her customers use to describe Lee Ann. She gives each of them, large or small, her full attention. A third-degree black belt in Taekwondo, she knows about dedication, discipline and commitment to pursuing goals regardless of adversity. Her "never quit" attitude and strong negotiating skills work to the advantage of both buyers and sellers.

Lee Ann feels that the most important thing when working with buyers and sellers is to listen and really understand their needs. It is also essential to give them as much information as possible so that they can make informed decisions about one of their most valuable assets: their home. Communication is what she does best. If you are a buyer, Lee Ann listens carefully to your needs, understands what you are looking for and helps you find the perfect home. If you are a seller, her background helps her market your home in the most visually effective way.

Lee Ann comes to New York real estate from the worlds of architecture, art and design. She headed a successful graphic design firm that later developed into a creative, high-end greeting card company. (Her designs have been featured for over a decade in the MoMA holiday catalogue.) She has had extensive experience in the renovation and restoration of co-ops, lofts and townhouses. Her expertise enables her to communicate effectively with your architect, interior designer and contractor. She is particularly knowledgeable about townhouses, having lived in one since 1991.
