Clara Chung

Clara Chung is a New York City real estate advisor who combines sophisticated market intelligence, strategic thinking, and a deeply personal approach to every client relationship.

Before entering real estate, Clara built a successful career in finance and technology, holding executive positions at Goldman Sachs, American Express, and PayPal. A graduate of UCLA and The Wharton School, she brings a distinctive analytical and business perspective to every transaction. Clara surpassed $50 million in sales within her first few years in real estate and has since consistently ranked among Douglas Elliman’s Top 25 New York City brokers for both sales and rentals. She has also been recognized by RealTrends Verified among the nation’s top 1.5% of real estate professionals. Clara represents buyers, sellers, investors, and international clients throughout Manhattan and Brooklyn, from first-time buyers and young professionals to high-net-worth families and investors from Asia and Europe.

With nearly two decades of experience in the city, Clara offers an insider’s perspective on its neighborhoods, buildings, and market dynamics. Her fluency in Korean, global perspective, and extensive network are particularly valuable to families and international clients navigating the New York market.

As a working mother, Clara understands firsthand that a home is about more than square footage and location—it is about how a family lives, grows, and experiences the city. That perspective informs the thoughtful, highly personal approach she brings to every client.

Above all, Clara believes the best real estate relationships are built on trust, discretion, and a genuine understanding of what matters most to each client.
