Agent Profile

A seasoned sales professional and a passionate resident of the Upper East Side, Elissa Drassinower is a sought-after resource for all things related to New York City real estate, family living and the uptown lifestyle.

Elissa deeply understands the importance of creating a true home in the city and considers it an honor to help guide her clients toward a special place where warm memories will be created. She specializes in the Upper East Side, both sales and rentals, where she has lived quite happily for almost two decades while watching her neighborhood grow and change. "The Upper East Side is a great place to raise a family while still experiencing the cosmopolitan perks," she says. Truly steeped in her community, she's an active member of her local synagogue as well as the PTA at her children's school, making her an area expert in all matters related to schools, classes, playgrounds, parks, sports and more.

A self-described people person and connector, Elissa is a skilled communicator and negotiator devoted to providing meticulous, concierge-level service. She is known for her ability to discern the needs of her clients, exceed expectation and develop trusting and long-lasting relationships.

Originally from Southern California, Elissa can often be found visiting our city's famed museums and restaurants — that is, when she's not chasing after her two energetic, sports-obsessed sons.
