For buyers
Buyer representation, properly done
The right home matters more than any home. Olivia represents about 14 active buyers at a time — including in markets where most listings never appear publicly.
What you get
The buyer representation
Off-market access
About 62% of Olivia's buyers find their home off-market — through her network of attorneys, building staff, and quiet sellers.
Building intelligence
Co-op approval realities, condo concierge dynamics, board behavior. Knowing the buildings is half the work.
Negotiation
Olivia handles every offer, counter, and concession. You get advice; she does the work.
Inspection coordination
Vetted inspectors, structural engineers, and contractors. Issues are surfaced before contract.
Closing management
Attorneys, lenders, title — Olivia coordinates the entire stack. Most clients never feel the friction.
Post-close support
Renovation referrals, building staff intros, post-move logistics. The relationship continues after closing.

Off-market
Buying what isn’t listed
About 62% of Olivia’s buyer transactions happen off-market — never on Streeteasy, never in MLS. The mechanism is simple: 16 years of relationships with listing agents, attorneys, building boards, and a quiet community of sellers waiting for the right buyer.
For buyers: this means seeing properties earlier, with less competition. For sellers (separate page): privacy and a curated buyer pool.
