Heather and Alain work together because they approach the same decision from two sides. Heather brings twenty-five years of New York transactions and the judgment that comes from them. Alain brings a finance and strategy background and the tools to test a decision before it is made. A client gets both reads on every property, every price, and every negotiation.

Meet Heather

Heather has spent twenty-five years in residential real estate, five in South Florida new development and twenty in Manhattan, with more than $2 billion in career sales. She is the founding Chairperson of the New York Residential Agent Continuum (NYRAC) and serves on the Real Estate Board of New York (REBNY) Residential Board of Directors, where her work centers on ethics and agent education. A member of the Douglas Elliman Sports & Entertainment Division, she works with a national network of specialists serving high-profile clients.

Her clients hire her for the read, not the pitch. She has walked away from deals that were not right for the people she represents, and she will do it again. Most of her business comes from clients she has worked with for a decade or more, because the advice held up.

Meet Alain

Alain Onesti came to real estate after executive roles with international companies, where his work was strategy, finance, and complex problem-solving. He applies the same discipline to Manhattan residential property: financial analysis, proprietary research, and data-driven tools to evaluate a residence, pressure-test a price, and support a negotiation with precision. Technology does not replace judgment or relationships in his practice. It sharpens both.

He works with buyers, sellers, investors, and international clients across New York's residential market, with a focus on luxury and high-value opportunities. He will recommend a property when the numbers and the fit are right, and he will tell a client to walk away when they are not.

Having built his own life in New York after moving from Europe, Alain knows what relocating and investing in an unfamiliar market ask of a client. He is fluent in Italian and English and brings an international perspective grounded in how New York actually transacts.

How We Work

Every recommendation starts with the market, not with what a client hopes to hear. Heather's transaction history and Alain's analysis reach the same question from different directions, and a client sees both answers before deciding. The process is discreet, the advice is direct, and the decision stays with the client.

Most advisors tell you what you want to hear. We tell you what the market says.
