The Art of
Making A Move
Thoughtful guidance, deep market knowledge, and a personal approach to every move.
Recognized in the Top 1.5% of Real Estate Professionals Nationwide by RealTrends Verified
Real estate is about more than buying and selling property. It’s about understanding people, recognizing opportunities, and knowing how to navigate the details that make every transaction unique.
Since 2017, I’ve combined my experience in advertising at Ogilvy & Mather, entrepreneurship, and New York City real estate to bring a thoughtful, strategic approach to every transaction. As an Upper West Side resident, I know the city not just as a broker, but as someone who calls it home. My philosophy is simple: honest advice, personal attention, and an unwavering commitment to my clients.
Amy Hershman
Successfully selling a home begins well before it reaches the market. I believe that thoughtful preparation, strategic pricing, and exceptional presentation are essential to achieving the best possible outcome.
Every property is unique, and so is my approach. I work closely with each seller to identify the improvements that will make the greatest impact, whether that means a fresh coat of paint, minor updates, or professional staging when appropriate. Combined with targeted marketing and a carefully considered pricing strategy, the goal is to position each home to stand out, attract qualified buyers, and maximize its value.
Representing both buyers and sellers gives me a valuable perspective on the market. I understand what captures buyers’ attention, what gives them pause, and how those considerations influence negotiations. That insight allows me to anticipate challenges, make informed recommendations, and guide my clients with confidence from our first conversation through closing.
“Expert guidance on pricing, staging and timing”
“[Amy’s] personal involvement in all aspects of the process including all the showings”
From the Upper West Side to neighborhoods throughout Manhattan and Brooklyn, my experience spans a diverse range of properties and markets. Explore my portfolio of current listings and past sales, reflecting the breadth of my experience across New York City.
Whether you’re preparing to sell or simply exploring your options, I can provide a personalized equity analysis based on recent sales, current competition, and what makes your apartment unique.
This is a broker’s opinion of value, not an appraisal.
Selling a property as part of an estate requires a thoughtful approach, careful coordination, and an understanding of the complexities involved. Whether working with family members, executors, or estate attorneys, I recognize that these transactions often come with unique responsibilities and emotional considerations.
My role is to simplify the process and manage the details, allowing you to focus on what matters most. From preparing a property that may have been in the family for decades to navigating building requirements and coordinating with the estate’s professional advisors, I provide experienced, hands-on guidance from our first conversation through closing.
My goal is to make what can feel like an overwhelming process more manageable, while ensuring the property is thoughtfully presented, strategically marketed, and positioned for a successful sale.
“Amy is thorough and knowledgeable.”
Buying your first home in New York City is an exciting milestone, but navigating the process can feel overwhelming. From understanding the differences between co-ops and condos to preparing board packages and negotiating offers, there is a lot to consider.
My approach is to make the experience as seamless and enjoyable as possible. I take the time to understand your priorities, explain each step clearly, and provide honest, thoughtful guidance so you can make informed decisions with confidence.
I’ve even taught a new Upper East Side resident how to ride the city bus. Sometimes, finding your place in New York goes well beyond finding the right apartment.

Amy Hershman is a Licensed Associate Real Estate Broker at Corcoran in New York City. She has represented sellers, buyers, and renters of co-ops, condos, and townhouses all over Manhattan and Brooklyn since 2017, and she is rated 5 stars across all of her Google reviews.
Fill out the short form on this page or call 973.650.2727. Amy will review recent comparable sales in your building and neighborhood and send you her opinion of value at no cost.
Yes. Of Amy’s 88 sales verified on StreetEasy, 42 represented the seller. She is a strong believer in staging and preparing a home before it goes on the market, which in her experience shortens time on market and supports a higher price.
No. Amy sells all over Manhattan and Brooklyn. Her closed sales include Chelsea, Gramercy, Greenwich Village, Hudson Square, the Upper East Side, Harlem, and Battery Park City in Manhattan, and Downtown Brooklyn, Boerum Hill, Fort Greene, Clinton Hill, Cobble Hill, and Williamsburg in Brooklyn.
Yes. Amy works with executors, heirs, and their attorneys to sell co-ops and condos that are part of an estate. She advises on pricing, helps prepare and clear the apartment, and manages the sale through closing.
A condo is real property that passes by deed. A co-op is shares in a corporation plus a proprietary lease, so the building’s board and managing agent have their own requirements. Your estate attorney handles the legal transfer, and Amy helps you understand what the building will need for the sale.
Many of Amy’s client reviews come from first-time New York City buyers. She explains co-ops and condos in plain language, helps with the board package, runs mock board interviews, and connects clients with attorneys, lenders, and insurance agents.
With a co-op, you buy shares in a corporation that owns the building, and a board reviews and interviews you before you can buy. With a condo, you own your apartment as real property and approval is usually simpler.
