Broker | Real Estate Specialist
As a real estate professional with roots in both New York City, Boston, and Greece, Angelica brings a cross-market perspective shaped by experience in finance, brokerage operations, and client relations. Her background spans the financial sector and luxury real estate, providing a strong foundation in strategy, negotiation, and relationship-building.
Angelica began my career in New York’s banking industry, where she earned my securities licenses and developed a meticulous, client-first approach to business. That experience naturally evolved into real estate — first alongside one of Manhattan’s top brokers, where she managed complex co-op and condo transactions and gained deep insight into one of the world’s most competitive markets.
Today, she focuses on expanding her international network and exploring opportunities that connect the Greek and global real estate landscapes. Fluent in both Greek and English, Angelica is passionate about building meaningful relationships and helping others create lasting foundations through collaboration, innovation, and vision.
Golden Visa regulations are subject to change. Investors should always confirm eligibility, regional thresholds, and restrictions with qualified Greek legal counsel before proceeding.
