Olivia has always thought of the real estate business as one about people and relationships, not just properties. She treats her clients as she would members of her family – with caring dedication, consistency and responsiveness.

Before she became a real estate professional, Olivia bought a mixed-use building in Manhattan to enlarge and convert into condos, allowing her to experience the steps and issues involved as a developer, fueling her passion for real estate.

She also resided in Fort Greene, Brooklyn for six years, and is now a very contented community member of lovely Prospect Park South.
