Tanya Kolesnik

Tanya brings a naturally international background to her work, having grown up in Europe and lived for several years in Asia and the Near East before making New York her home. Drawn to the city’s creative spirit and its endlessly varied neighborhoods, she approaches real estate with curiosity, attentiveness, and a steady hand.

Her studies in comparative literature, philosophy, and art—alongside a degree in international finance—shaped a way of thinking that is both analytical and deeply observant. Prior to real estate, she worked in marketing and public relations for leading luxury fashion houses, experience that sharpened her sense of presentation, discretion, and client care.

In her real estate practice, Tanya is known for her calm, thoughtful approach and her ability to give clients clear, well-timed guidance in a fast-moving market. She works with a wide range of buyers and sellers, from longtime New Yorkers to those arriving from abroad, all of whom value her honesty, preparation, and straightforward style. Her trusted relationships with attorneys, lenders, architects, and designers allow her to support clients with ease from the first conversation through closing.

Away from real estate, Tanya can often be found wandering—camera in hand, curiosity at the ready—through the streets of a far-flung city or the quieter corners of New York. Whether navigating a market in Bangkok, tracing cobblestone alleys in Lisbon, or lingering on a Brooklyn block, she observes with the same attention she brings to her work—attuned to detail, context, and character. Travel continues to shape her perspective, and it is this curiosity, carried home, that informs the way she sees and presents the city she now calls home.
