Experience
Leila is a 13-year resident of Manhattan who takes great pride in her profession, providing clients with the highest level of privacy, discretion, trust and loyalty, plus a vast knowledge of today's unique market. She is a skillful negotiator and a talented, hardworking individual. Leila has earned not only outstanding results for her clients, but has also secured an excellent reputation within the real estate industry. Leila recognizes that buying or selling a home is a personal and emotional experience as well as financial transition. She helps ease this process by being herself.
Leila was born and raised in Kenya and came to America at age 19 to attend the University of Massachusetts, where she studied hospitality and management. Before entering the real estate industry, Leila had a successful career in the restaurant business; she has worked in management for well-known chefs Jeffrey Zakarian and Jean-Georges Vongerichen. She also partnered with Ark Restaurants in New York on concept development.
Leila loves running, hiking great peaks around the world, sailing, spinning, sky diving, cooking, traveling and yoga. She is currently working with IT-Project, an organization whose mission is to provide digital education resources to public schools in Kenya.
My Approach
"I show enormous energy, integrity and willingness to do whatever it takes to make parties on both sides happy and CLOSE THE DEAL!"
Testimonials
Leila represented me on the purchase and sale of one property and later the rental of a residence in a building I own. I continue to consult with her on New York City residential real estate. Her knowledge and enthusiasm for her work is quite evident and it is matched with uncomprising loyalty to her clients. She is tireless in her efforts to secure the best possible outcome. She does this by exposing the properties she represents to the broadest array of potential buyers and then educating buyers and sellers so that they properly understand current market conditions. This frankly is the only intelligent approach in any market. Leila demonstrates great patience with her clients and her quiet confidence in her abilities is a strong and calming asset

I’ve known Leila Yusuf since 2004. We met while we both worked at a restaurant in The Meat Packing District together. Although Leila and I worked in different departments she would regularly stop by to say hello to everyone who worked in my department.
Leila moved on to work in a different restaurant and recommended me for a position. It was there that I recognized Leila’s hard work, drive for success and excellent people skills.
I eventually left the restaurant industry but remained in contact with Leila. In 2008 after saving for years I discovered an apartment that I was interested in purchasing. I knew that Leila had a real estate license and she was the first person who came to mind. I trusted her to guide me through unfamiliar territory or buying an apartment in New York City. It was a decision that I was glad I made. Leila proved to be knowledgeable of the New York real estate market. She was able to recommend a lawyer and a banker. She kept me in the loop with everything that was going on and advised me on obstacles that occurred during the purchasing process. Leila was fiercely in my corner when the economy began to suffer and I can honestly say that if it were not for her help I would currently not be a homeowner.
Leila was someone that I could honestly talk to and she gave great unbiased advice that was not based on how my decision would impact her. She called to see how I was doing emotionally and her hard work and concern for me has only strengthened our relationship.
I would without hesitation recommend Leila to anyone that I knew who was searching for an honest, compassionate, smart and friendly real estate broker.
Sincerely,

I have worked with Leila Yusuf for the past year and had the unusual opportunity to work with her selling, buying and renting properties. As each property represented a separate challenge, it was interesting to see the range of her experience at each venue. On all occasions, Leila showed enormous energy, integrity and willingness to do whatever it took to make parties on both side happy and a deal possible.
I would not hesitate to recommend her to an another.

Hi Leila, Shermarkeh and I were talking with Manuel Frey the other day and he gave you the best compliment by saying that you are not like other brokers in NYC - he said that you are a "real person" and made the experience so much better than others he has worked with. Shermarkeh may remember the exact words. So congrats! Hopefully Manuel will send others your way.
