Isabella especially enjoys working with first-time buyers and young professionals relocating to New York City.

She graduated from Fordham University with a bachelor's degree in Real Estate, where she studied real estate finance, investment, development, valuation, construction, property management, and real estate law. That background helps her evaluate properties from both a financial and practical perspective while keeping up with the constantly changing New York City market.
As part of The Semino Team at Compass, Isabella works alongside a team with more than 20 years of experience and over $400 million in residential sales across New York City. The team represents buyers and sellers of co-ops, condos, townhouses, and multifamily properties, as well as clients navigating estate sales and other major life transitions.
Isabella is known for being responsive, detail-oriented, and approachable. She enjoys getting to know her clients and helping them find a home that fits both their needs and their long-term goals. Whether you're buying your first apartment, looking for a rental, selling your home, or exploring an investment opportunity, she is committed to making the experience as smooth and successful as possible.

"I worked with Linette Semino and Isabella Galati during the height of NYC’s competitive apartment market. As a first-time buyer, I had no idea what I was doing, but they reassured me every step of the way that I would find a home I truly loved. They were professional, responsive, and always on top of their game. I highly recommend the Semino Team to anyone navigating the NYC real estate market." Mary Lucy R.
"I absolutely enjoyed working with Isabella over the past couple of months! I've never searched for an apartment before, nor have I ever lived in NYC, and I just graduated college on top of all that. She made the process so much easier for me and handled much of the complexity involved in searching for a home in NYC! She responded quickly, answered my hundreds of questions, toured virtually, spoke with other realtors about my situation, and did much more, which made my life much easier." Pranav B.
"I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Linette Semino for over a decade, and during that time she has been an incredible resource for me, as well as for my family and friends, guiding us through renting, buying, and selling in the highly competitive NYC market. Most recently, I worked with both Linette and Isabella Galati as a first-time condominium buyer in New York City. I came into the process feeling nervous, but I truly couldn’t have done it without their steady guidance and deep professional expertise. They always had my best interests at heart and made sure I felt supported every step of the way. What stood out most was how genuinely invested they were in helping me find the right home—not just any home. Thanks to them, I found one that’s a perfect fit. I wholeheartedly recommend the Semino Team!" Rujna S.
"Linette Semino and Bella Galati from Compass are exceptional realtors! We were looking to lease a studio apartment for our daughter within a safe area, reasonable commute to FIT, and within a budget. An added challenge was that we are Canadian and needed much more specialized guidance to meet leasing requirements." Noreen B.
