Keith Hodges

Keith Hodges specializes in penthouses and townhouses throughout Manhattan. With nearly a decade of industry experience, Keith has built a reputation for navigating complex transactions with precision, discretion, and consistently strong results.

Much of his business is driven by repeat clients and referrals — a testament to the trust, long-term relationships, and results he consistently delivers.

His recent notable sales include Billy Joel’s former residence at 128 Central Park South — one of Manhattan’s most prestigious cooperative buildings — which was prominently featured in The New York Post, further solidifying his presence in high-profile, high-stakes transactions.

Keith began his real estate career at one of New York City’s most respected legacy brokerages, founded in 1873 and long associated with representing Manhattan’s most distinguished addresses. There, he developed a rigorous understanding of institutional-grade transaction management and complex deal structuring while actively training and mentoring fellow agents within the firm. This early immersion in high-level negotiations and legacy property representation shaped his disciplined, strategic approach to marketing and selling premier assets. Today, sellers and buyers benefit directly from that foundation — through meticulous preparation, confidential positioning, data-driven pricing strategy, and a structured process designed to protect value and maximize final sale outcomes

Keith leverages his legacy training alongside modern, data-driven marketing strategies and the firm’s expansive capabilities — including access to yacht and private jet sales, wealth advisory services, and a highly recommended network of mortgage brokers, real estate and estate attorneys, contractors, title companies, and landlord-tenant lawyers — all designed to provide clients with the tools and expertise needed to make confident, high-stakes real estate decisions.

Keith is widely recognized for his comprehensive knowledge of Manhattan’s townhouse and condominium markets, including pricing dynamics, interest rate trends, and their long-term impact on real estate value. His ability to evaluate market positioning allows him to implement tailored pricing and marketing strategies designed to maximize returns — reflected in his consistent track record of achieving approximately 95% of a property’s final asking price.

Highly skilled in negotiation and deeply familiar with co-op and condominium board requirements, Keith is also well-versed in Manhattan’s zoning regulations and landmark preservation policies, empowering clients with data-backed insight and candid guidance while always acting in their best interest. He understands the gravity of high-stakes transactions and ensures his clients are equipped to make informed, strategic decisions at every stage of the process.

With a background in photography and a studied appreciation for architecture, Keith designs meticulously customized marketing campaigns that emphasize a property’s scale, provenance, and architectural significance — recognizing that presentation materially influences final value.

A New York City native and member of The Real Estate Board of New York, Keith brings a well-rounded skill set spanning resale, estate sales, and new development. His professional foundation was further shaped through his education at The New York Real Estate Institute.

Outside of real estate, Keith has a deep passion for interior design, home renovation, and architectural history. He closely studies Manhattan’s landmark buildings and remains informed on business, market, and high-net-worth trends, which helps him advise clients with high-end properties. His appreciation for the cultural and historical significance of these residences reflects not only personal passion, but a genuine respect for the legacy and permanence that define Manhattan’s most exceptional properties.
