Her career is defined by discretion, precision, and an unwavering commitment to excellence. Known for her calm presence and relentless work ethic, Hannelore approaches each transaction with a clear strategy that protects her clients’ interests and elevates their outcomes.
Her expertise spans all aspects of residential real estate, including luxury estates, historic homes, and new construction.

At the heart of Hannelore’s approach is a belief that luxury is not defined by price but by experience. Every client, regardless of transaction size, receives the same level of tailored attention and strategic insight. She listens carefully, studies the market, and crafts a path that feels both efficient and effortless.
Her philosophy is grounded in three principles: trust, transparency, and tenacity. Trust allows clients to make confident decisions. Transparency ensures they understand every step of the process.

Her market knowledge is both broad and deep. She monitors property values, inventory, buyer demographics, and migration patterns across Fairfield and Westchester Counties to ensure her clients receive the most accurate insight available.
