With 15 years of experience as a real estate broker exclusive to the Manhattan market for Sotheby’s International Realty, Mina Atabai has transacted more than $50 million in property sales during her career. She specializes in condominium and cooperative sales in prestigious buildings on Manhattan’s East and West Sides and also the downtown areas of Greenwich Village, TriBeCa and Chelsea.
Mina, whose father is Austrian, was born and raised in Iran. She has been a Manhattan resident for the past 27 years. She combines this personal knowledge of the city’s diverse areas and neighborhoods with her fluency in English, French and Farsi to the direct benefit of her international clientele.
This ability to match the individualized needs of a clientele representing numerous countries and diverse cultures is clearly recognized and appreciated by her clients. More than half of Mina’s clients have worked with her on multiple sales and purchases throughout the years. An additional 40 percent work with her as a direct result of those clients’ referrals.
Mina’s communications and customer service skills, well-honed during more than ten years as an importer and marketer of original artisan crafts including tribal flatweaves, have proven extremely useful to her clients.
Prior to relocating to the United States, Mina served as public relations and protocol director, active in international affairs. She was one of the founders of Iran’s first International Women’s Film Festival. Her experiences have taught Mina to employ all measures necessary to ensure privacy as she strictly adheres to confidentiality regarding real estate transactions for her clients, many of whom are notable personalities.
