About Cornelia H.
Ultimately, real estate is about people's homes; whether you are buying or selling, it's an emotional journey that requires understanding and patience. Building and maintaining a relationship of trust is the cornerstone of my job.

Cornelia has a record of proven success working with both individual clients and residential real estate developers. After 15 years in residential real estate she has built a sterling reputation throughout the brokerage community.

With well over 700 successful transactions to her credit, Cornelia is a seasoned broker well-versed in the art and the science of the deal. She handles both new development and resale throughout the city and Brooklyn. She has a collaborative spirit and a laser-like focus on key objectives. An undergraduate degree from New York University's Tisch School of the Arts and a prior career in Advertising bestowed her with excellent client service skills, creative thinking and absolute efficiency. Above all, she is a broker who understands the needs and desires of her clients, and knows how to close a deal. Always professional and ethical, Cornelia's clients continue to entrust her with their evolving real estate needs.

★★★★★
"We can confidently say that without her, we never would have sold our apartment as well as we did—especially in such a challenging market. Her integrity, deep industry connections, and the trust she has earned as a true professional made all the difference. From start to finish, her approach to selling our home was thoughtful, strategic, and exceptional. We will always be grateful for the care she put into the process. But what really set her apart was how she guided us through the purchase of our townhouse. She went far beyond what was expected—uncovering important details that even our real estate lawyer hadn’t raised—ensuring we went into our contract with complete clarity. She looked out for us at every turn in what was a complex, and ultimately very rewarding, transaction. Through it all, she never wavered, never gave up, and was always our biggest supporter. We never once felt like just another transaction to her. She made us feel seen, cared for, and protected every step of the way. Her dedication and heart shine through in everything she does, and we truly cannot imagine having gone through this journey without her. John and Janine M. (Buyers and Sellers)"

★★★★★
"For four years, Cornelia was our unwavering guide in the search for our dream home. Her expertise and knowledge are truly unrivaled - Cornelia was an honest sounding board and our constant source of guidance throughout each step of the process. We couldn't have asked for a better partner on this journey and count ourselves as incredibly lucky to have worked with her! Emily M. and Curtis H. (Buyers)"

★★★★★
"Our experience working with Cornelia on finding and buying our apartment was fantastic in every way. She is smart, savvy, thoughtful, patient, intuitive, and knows New York and its singular real estate environment better than anyone. We looked at a lot of apartments together before finding the right one and each time she was able to keenly and enthusiastically help further hone our search. She also provided invaluable guidance to navigating both the bidding and closing processes. And she’s just fun to be around — which definitely matters too! Zev B. and Hannah K. (Buyers)"

★★★★★
"Cornelia is everything you’d want in a real estate agent—kind, communicative, efficient, and a true expert. She guided us through buying our condo in 2021 and selling it in 2025 with ease, always making the process feel like working with a trusted friend who has your best interest in mind. We’ve recommended her to friends who also rave about her - she’s incredible! Molly W. and Andrew E. (Buyer + Seller)"

★★★★★
"As a first time home owner, my husband and I had no idea what we were getting into. Total strangers who cold called her, Cornelia lovingly spent two hours one weeknight on the phone explaining to us the ins and outs of what to expect. Without her support and patience we would not have found our special, quirky Brooklyn dream house we never knew we wanted until it stumbled upon us. She walked us through every step of the process, and introduced us to experts to support home ownership that we still rely on today. Cornelia is a gem of a home hunting partner, and we’ll forever consider her part of our family. Blair E. and Brett N. (Buyers)."
