Lillian Holtzclaw

Lillian H. Stern takes great pleasure in sharing her unique experience in the luxury real estate market with her local and international clients. She brings her entrepreneurial spirit and creativity, proven negotiation skills and intimate knowledge of the city’s real estate market to every transaction she works on. Coupled with Compass’ state of the art Agent Home platform tools, unparalleled marketing reach and the support of the top global networking sphere, Lillian delivers unparalleled results with upmost discretion. She prides herself on providing a wealth of information to her clients every step of the way, from the first consultation to the move.

Lillian provides highly personalized, client-focused service. With her discerning eye and, as a seasoned real estate sales professional and buyer herself, Lillian is able to narrow down quickly the city’s vast inventory of luxury properties to a handful of properties well suited to the financial and personal goals of each client. Having lived herself in townhouses and luxury properties, she is particularly adept at understanding her most discerning clients’ needs.

Prior to joining Compass, Lillian established and operated a highly successful global Edtech company allowing her to cultivate exceptional communication skills while guiding numerous clients to highly rewarding outcomes. Today she combines her passion for real estate, as a buyer, seller and renter, to guide clients confidently and successfully through the nuances of the real estate market.

Lillian considers herself a citizen of the world, raised in Rio de Janeiro and educated between Brazil, Switzerland and the U.S. where she graduated NYU Cumma sum Laude with a BA in Classic Literature. Even though she continues to travel extensively, she has called the Upper East Side home for the last 30 years where she lives with her two teenage children, who attend private schools nearby.

Spending summers in Southampton, Lillian has cultivated a deep understanding of the Hamptons real estate market that she loves to share with New Yorkers and international clients looking for the perfect spot away from the city’s hustle and bustle.

Multilingual in four languages (Portuguese, English, Spanish and French) and with a deep understanding of transaction process for International buyers and sellers, Lillian helps clients from around the world smoothly navigate their way to a successful closing.
