Fern Hammond is a consummate real estate professional with 25 years of experience. Fern grew up in Manhattan attending P.S. 6 and Music & Art High School studying Fine Arts & Architecture. After returning from University of Colorado in Boulder and searched for her own apartment. “She had a revelation”. I love architecture, I love working with people, and thrive on constant action – this is the perfect business for me! She started in rentals in 1977 then worked for Beloff Properties from 1987 – 1991 as the Director of Sales for The Sage House at 4 Lexington Avenue and The York River House at 1175 York Avenue. After a very successful sellout, she worked for MLBKaye International Realty which was also a Prudential affiliate for 15 years. She was Director of Fine Homes & Estates and a constant top producer earning the Prestigious Chairman’s Circle & Legend Awards.
She has just joined Halstead as SVP. Fern has been interviewed for articles in New York Magazine and has appeared on Law Line & other local Real Estate shows as an expert in Family sized apartments. Fern is known for her absolute tenacity & fierce loyalty to her customers and clients. The sellers she represents boast about their record breaking prices, and the buyers she represents brag about their great deals.
After 25 seasoned years, Fern is the ultimate enthusiast known to pull 7 day weeks for months on end to get the job done - going so far as to show a 4,000 sq. ft. loft downtown at 1:00 in the morning to see if music from the night club on the block could be heard from the apartment. Adept at winning bidding wars for her buyers and creating them for her sellers, this is the broker you want on your side of the deal!
