Wonderstreet Team

Wonderstreet is a team at Compass that pairs real market data with an insider's knowledge of New York. The city's real estate market can feel opaque, daunting, and emotionally exhausting — our job is to cut through that and get you the best outcome, whether you're renting, buying, selling, or investing. We're warm, we're direct, and we don't sugarcoat. Skip the search. Keep the wonder.

Yimin Ge founded Wonderstreet. A Shanghai native who put down roots in New York two decades ago, she spent over a decade structuring and trading mortgage-backed bonds before moving into real estate — and she reads a market the way she once read a trading desk: fast, data-first, unsentimental. She built a multilingual, multigenerational team and was one of the first NYC agents to go all-in on social media. When a deal stalls, she's the one who finds the way through.

Terry Lautin knows Downtown Manhattan block by block — its micro-neighborhoods and inventory, especially the Financial District and Battery Park City, where she lives. She's set price records for her sellers and guided buyers and investors through deals across the area for years.

Desmond Te came to real estate from digital marketing, where he spent nearly a decade growing reach for Google, Microsoft, and T-Mobile. He brings that same playbook to selling homes: getting a listing in front of the right buyers, faster, with tech that actually moves the needle.

Juan Siliezar is the team's tech and marketing mind. He backs his calls with numbers and brings marketing experience across real estate, e-commerce brands, and small businesses in a range of industries. An advisor first — not a salesperson — he's in it for the long haul, focused on enduring relationships and real results.
