When it comes to buying and selling real estate, Iris Simens is “Your New York/Westchester Connection!” She is dually licensed in both markets, and an expert in these areas where she has a deep knowledge and network. Iris serves clients with success thanks to nearly 15 years of experience in the world of real estate. She’s been repeatedly ranked as a top-producing agent, and sold everything from high-end Manhattan apartments to luxury homes in Westchester.
Iris has extensive experience with co-ops, condos and houses alike, and treats every client and listing with the same exceptional care – be it a $5,000/month rental or a multimillion-dollar showplace. In addition to her brokerage experience, she gained valuable insider insights working with her husband’s family real estate business.
A New York City resident her whole life, Iris began her accomplished real estate career in Manhattan where she’s excelled for many years. When she moved to Westchester a decade ago, her business blossomed there as well, allowing her to bridge the gap for clients looking to transition from the city to the suburbs, and vice versa. Iris has listed and sold apartments throughout Manhattan on the Upper East Side, Upper West Side, West Village, Greenwich Village and Chelsea. She has also listed and sold homes and apartments in Lower and Northern Westchester. Living in White Plains affords her close proximity to help clients anywhere within her territory.
Clients appreciate Iris for her tremendous patience and perseverance, high energy level, and hands-on support throughout the real estate process. She believes in educating people so they can make the best decisions, and works tirelessly to meet their needs. “Don’t worry, we’ll take it one day at a time. If you miss out on one thing, there will be another, and we’ll get the results you want.”
