REAL ESTATE - DESIGN - PROJECT MANAGEMENT
From open house, to house warming
Hi, I'm Anne-Laure. I spent 17 years in real estate development, running everything from historic brownstone restorations to ground-up construction. Now I help people in New York buy, sell, renovate, and design their homes.
Most Saturday mornings start with coffee, the newest listings, and my rescue pup by my side. I study every floor plan for the little things that decide whether a home works for the way you live: the light, the closet space, the way one room flows into the next.
I grew up in a hospitality family, where the job was noticing what people need before they ask. That's still how I work, whether I'm catching a problem before you buy or build, or spotting what will make your place stand out when you sell.

A LITTLE ABOUT MEWays to work together
Whether you need one service or all three, I'll meet you wherever you are.

I love the search, the first walkthrough, the moment it all clicks. But if something isn't right, I'll tell you, even if you've already fallen for it.
If you're buying, I'll look past the paint and the staging to find a home that fits the way you live, on or off the market. If you're selling, I'll price your place honestly and make sure buyers see it at its best.
-
A beautiful room you can't really live in isn't good design. Whether it's furnishing one room or designing an entire home, I start with one question: how will you use this space day to day?
That answer shapes the layout, the materials, and the details, so that the finished space looks lovely and works for your life.

Even a small renovation has a lot of moving parts. You don't have to manage it alone. Working across more than $1B in real estate, I saw nearly every way a construction project can go sideways.
Now I bring that experience to every client, from a single bathroom to a full gut. I keep architects, engineers, and contractors aligned and the approvals moving, so there are fewer surprises and your budget goes where it matters most.
Featured Project
West Village Condominium
More space, better views, a new neighborhood. That was the wish list. Early on, they fell for an apartment and lost it in a bidding war. It was discouraging, but I asked them to be patient. The right one would come along.
When it did, it was never listed, and it had everything on the list, plus a far better layout than the one they'd lost. I heard about it in a conversation with another broker, arranged a private showing, and negotiated the deal before it ever reached the market. With their new home secured, I listed their old one and sold it for full asking price.
Next, we made it theirs. We took the apartment down to the studs. We redesigned the kitchen, even turning four inches of dead space into a pull-out spice rack. The primary bath got marble slabs with intricate marble trim, and the closets were custom-built so no space went to waste. Where it made sense to save, we did: the original floors stayed, sanded and re-stained. Once the dust settled, I furnished every room and commissioned art for the walls.
From the first showing to the last piece of art, it was worth the wait.
