Cheryl Nielsen-Saaf Senior Vice President, Associate Broker

A Corcoran Senior Vice President and top producer, Cheryl Nielsen-Saaf has not only enjoyed prominence in her profession since 1984 as a downtown Brooklyn and Manhattan real estate specialist, but popularity in her neighborhood as well as an active, longtime member of her Brooklyn Heights community. Over the years, she has reigned as a consummate professional and knowledgeable, reliable resource for the countless buyers, sellers, investors and developers she’s helped to realize their unique real estate goals. Cheryl’s unparalleled expertise, service, market/pricing insight and negotiating skills are what ensure utmost success with every deal.

Cheryl’s experience and winning performance have been recognized many times over. As a Certified Residential Specialist (CRS), she is placed among the top 2% of real estate licensees in the U.S. In 2005, Cheryl was spotlighted by the Wall Street Journal, REAL Trends and Lore Magazine for her impressive status as #41 of the top 50 sales agents in the country categorized by sales volume. Basically, this places her among the most elite group possible – that is, in the top 1% of the top 1% of real estate professionals in America.

Yet while her professional accolades certainly mean a great deal, it is the loyal relationships with her trusting clientele that are most rewarding. Working closely with individual buyers, sellers and investors has enabled Cheryl to enjoy ongoing referrals and repeat business, also allowing her to keep her finger on the pulse of the NYC marketplace in terms of trends, pricing, and what amenities people want in a home.

This insight fuels her strong connections with the many developers Cheryl serves throughout the city who rely on her unmatched market expertise and invaluable guidance from project concept to completion. Her natural flair for architecture and structural composition, coupled with her keen understanding of the building process, brownstone marketplace, and various property types throughout Brooklyn and Manhattan, allow her to work also effectively with architects and contractors alike. Cheryl is expert at identifying a building’s potential, finding creative solutions to space, advising on the most desirable layout configurations, then properly pricing, marketing and selling the property to the right buyers.

A member and frequent tennis player at the Brooklyn Heights Casino, Cheryl lives with her husband and two daughters in a wonderful multi-family home she recently renovated. When time allows, she and the family also spend time at their home in the Hamptons.
