Fumiko Akiyama

A seasoned veteran of the NYC real estate industry, Fumiko joined Corcoran in 2015 and specializes in sales and rentals throughout Brooklyn and Manhattan. She has achieved outstanding results and longstanding relationships with her buyers and sellers by working hard and establishing trust, cultivating ongoing repeat and referral clients that are the heart of her business. Her extensive knowledge of the NYC market affords her the ability to guide both buyers and sellers to achieve optimal return on their investments.

Fumiko is fully invested in guiding her sellers to success. This begins with a customized marketing strategy that elevates their property with staging, decluttering, and widespread exposure to ensure the best possible price. She also provides detailed, comprehensive market data to properly price properties and create competition, often driving the market for a home over the asking price. One of her most notable transactions was selling a townhouse in need of renovation for 34% over ask—with only two open houses!

For buyers, Fumiko helps them understand the nuances of market inventory, preparing them well so they comprehend each purchase scenario and how to construct offers to secure the best terms and value.

Prior to real estate, Fumiko honed her innate customer service skills as owner of an acclaimed Japanese restaurant and Sake bar in Park Slope for seven years. Her innovative approach, strong negotiation skills, and deep understanding of clients’ needs make her an invaluable asset to any client she works with, whether they are buying or selling.

A native of Tokyo, Japan, Fumiko has lived in NYC for over 20 years in the Upper West Side, East Village, Clinton Hill, and Park Slope, where she raised her daughter. She loves Brooklyn and all that NYC has to offer, from its diversity and sense of community to the beauty of its architecture. Fumiko speaks Japanese and English fluently, and enjoys cooking, traveling, and movies in her free time.
