Elizabeth V. Alicea

You might say that real estate is in her blood. The daughter of a carpenter, Elizabeth formed an interest in architecture and building craftsmanship at an early age growing up in Chicago.

When she and her family bought a multi-family home in Crown Heights, Brooklyn over 18 years ago, she developed that interest by managing the renovation from the ground up — from designing the initial layout to selecting unique fixtures to supervising subcontractors. Today she manages the property and her tenants. As a result, she knows firsthand that her clients’ real estate needs are more than just transactions. They are about growing families, building businesses, and realizing dreams.

Having lived and worked in NYC for more than 25 years, Elizabeth has become a local expert — knowing the best tea shops, most reliable plumbers, and the friendliest dog parks. Her local knowledge of NYC is complemented by her global perspective — having lived in Spain, Brazil and India. Whether it's appreciating Basque architecture, participating in Bahian traditions, riding rickshaws in Mumbai, or celebrating her own Puerto Rican and African-American blended customs, Elizabeth's international experience enables her to collaborate and connect with people from diverse cultures and backgrounds.

Whether you are buying or selling a home, Elizabeth will guide you through the nuances of each transaction. As a licensed attorney, she understands real estate law and will avidly negotiate on your behalf. In her career as a real estate broker — over $15M in sales and 40+ transactions — she has built long lasting relationships with developers, real estate attorneys, mortgage lenders, and other industry professionals to provide you with a competitive advantage to close the deal.

Elizabeth is a graduate of the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law, Columbia University, and Lake Forest Academy, where she serves on the Board of Trustees. She is also a member of the New York State bar.
