Born in Portugal, Keskinkaya – who is fluent in English, Portuguese, Spanish and conversant in Turkish -- has been a resident of New York City for decades. The international market has been a mainstay for her business as her multicultural and multilingual skills have earned Keskinkaya a strong reputation.

“We are delighted to be joined by one of the industry’s greatest and most skilled professionals,” said Steven James, president & CEO of BHHSNYP. “Cynthia has not only been a leader in the luxury sector for many years, but she has one of the strongest client retention rates of anyone in the industry.”

“Clients trust Cynthia and continue to come back to her time after time -- in fact the vast majority of her business is repeat and referral customers.” said Brad Loe, executive vice president, director of sales of BHHSNYP. “She is a tremendous addition to our evolving team of real estate professionals, and as an added bonus, she’s, hands down, one of the nicest people in the business!”

“Coming to Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices New York Properties is like coming home,” said Keskinkaya. “Steven and Brad are terrific mentors and over the years they have helped me succeed and better service my clients, which I know they will continue to do on an even broader scale. The reputation of the Berkshire Hathaway brand, both locally and internationally, is paramount. My international clients know and respect it well, so this association will be an even greater asset to my business.”
