Great things are achieved by a series of small things

As a team of New York City Real Estate Brokers, we strive every day to elevate the level of service that we give to our clients. No matter who the client is or what their budget, our goal is to provide an exceptional and consistent experience from start to finish.

The result is that we exceed most people’s expectations of a real estate professional. Whether you are a buyer or a seller we have learned it is never just a house, an apartment or a zip code. It’s more than hardwood floors and pre-war details. It’s where you come to life, are inspired, and raise your family, or it is one of your biggest investments. It’s the first and best expression of who you are as an individual, a couple, or a family.

We never forget what a home represents to our clients personally and financially and it is with this responsibility that we act every step of the way. We have found the only way to achieve these high standards is to only hire people who truly enjoy what they do and want to share their knowledge with you. Get to know us below.

We have worked with the Columbia Vitolo team three times over the past few years and each time, this Team has delivered excellent results. They recently sold our apartment and within days of getting our first offer, They brought us two additional offers, all over asking. Todd and Susanne are extremely professional and responsive and has a vast knowledge of the NYC real estate market. I trust this team fully for all real estate needs.

Susanne and Todd and their team are excellent! They advised us on the purchase of Co-Op in Chelsea several years ago and when we decided to sell earlier this year, they provided very sensible guidance regarding pricing and marketing. The apartment sold quickly, at a good price, in a slow market. We have recommended them to friends in the past, and we will continue to refer friends to them in the future. They are a pleasure to work with.

As a real estate sales agent myself, I knew how highly emotional selling our home would be, after living there for over 15 years. I highly recommend Susanne and Todd. I chose the Columbia Vitolo Team to market and sell my apartment since I knew them to be the consummate real estate professionals. They are patient, thorough, and skillful negotiators. The process was extremely smooth, and within two weeks, we had multiple offers, a contract within 3, and sold our loft above asking. Thanks to Susanne, Todd and team!

Susanne Columbia

Principal

Co Founder, Susanne V. Columbia has been a Licensed Associate Real Estate Broker for 22 years and is a member of the exclusive Compass Sports and Entertainment Division. For some, New York City real estate is learned but for Susanne she has a natural instinct for real estate. This is evidenced by the fact she has been ranked among the top 1% of agents every single year since she started. Part hand holder, and part expressive Susanne has forged many strong relationships with both other real estate brokers and with her loyal repeat client base. For Susanne, giving clients personal attention and truly understanding their needs is the foundation to her long and successful track record. Happily married to a composer/playwright, Susanne and her husband are contented TriBeCa residents who’ve lived in many Downtown enclaves over the years. She is currently restoring a farmhouse in Washington CT to enjoy in her downtime.
