Steven brings a decade of experience in real estate and the mortgage industry to the Hechter | Bar-Lev Team, and welcomes being a part of a leading force in the Manhattan & Brooklyn real estate industry. His addition to the team has propelled them to #6 by Medium Team across New York City in 2022, #11 in 2023, and helped continue to keep the Hechter | Bar-Lev team’s current streak as Corcoran’s #1 team for new development sales, Corcoran Chelsea Team of the Year and the President Council, the highest sale honor in the company.

Beginning his career modifying mortgages, he became an agent with CitiHabitats where he was recognized by his early success and pulled into the New Development Division by the Senior Managing Director of Corcoran Sunshine Marketing Group. During his tenure there, he excelled working for major developers, owners and landlords. That experience has led to Steven working on over $400M of transactions over the years.

His concentration and experience is inclusive of luxury new development, new development condo conversions for sale and rent, high-end lofts, resale condo, co-ops and townhouse. There is nothing he has not seen, and he takes pride in understanding neighborhood trends and trouble-shooting the inevitable speed bumps of a transaction.

Steven’s main priority is to deliver his sellers and buyers the best deal that can be had along with the most simplified experience with an agent. His knowledge, enthusiasm, scrupulous attention to detail, tireless work ethic, empathy and numbers-oriented mentality has helped him be an excellent negotiator on behalf of his clients.

Originally from Dominican Republic, Steven has been a New York City resident since 1991. As a graduate at Herbert H. Lehman College, Steven enjoyed living on the Upper West Side for over 20 years, and has also resided in Brooklyn and Long Island City, falling for attractive features of each neighborhood/borough, from the grit of industrial new development residential complexes to pre-war brownstone residences across the river. His close relationships to his family and community remain a high priority in his day-to-day life. Guided by integrity and professionalism, he is a born advisor and a natural closer. He looks forward to bringing his expertise to your successful purchase or sale.
