Manhattan, NY Platinum Forbes Global Properties, newly rebranded from its previous moniker of Platinum Properties, has been named the exclusive New York City representative of Forbes Global Properties, an international network of selected real estate brokerages that connects buyers and sellers to the world’s most exceptional properties. The appointment marks a milestone in the visionary firm’s growth and reinforces its position as a leading force in one of the world’s most competitive luxury real estate markets.

Founded in 2005 by siblings Khashy and Dezireh Eyn, Platinum Forbes Global Properties is a private, family-owned, full-service boutique brokerage with roots across New York City’s key submarkets. 

Backed by a nuanced understanding of shifting market dynamics, its agents advise across buying, selling, and renting, pairing deep industry insight with a data-driven, clientfirst approach. With this new membership with Forbes Global Properties, Platinum is able to connect its longtime New York expertise to a vast network of real estate professionals around the world.

“Real estate is shifting, and our membership with Forbes Global Properties ensures our clients stay ahead of that curve,” said Dezireh Eyn, CEO of Platinum Forbes Global Properties. “We’ve spent twenty years building a firm in New York that values people over transactions.

It is an honor to welcome the Platinum team, and we look forward to being a part of their continued growth.”
