About Sondra Wudunn

I\'m a New York City–based real estate advisor with Brown Harris Stevens, known for calm guidance, exceptional attention to detail, and steady execution through complex transactions. As a native New Yorker, I combine deep local knowledge with a sharp, current read on the market — guiding clients from strategy and showings to negotiations, board packages, and closing. I was ranked Top 4 companywide • Dec ’25.Clients appreciate my warm, approachable style and the way I listen closely to what matters most.What sets me apart is my practical, hands-on understanding of homes and buildings. I\'ve personally managed and renovated multiple family properties, including a gut renovation of a brownstone on the Upper West Side and a gut renovation of a Florida condo, along with renovation projects in New York City and Toronto. That experience gives my clients an added layer of insight when evaluating condition, prioritizing improvements, or preparing a property for market.Clients often describe me as rational, patient, and deeply committed to their best interests. I\'m especially valued for thorough preparation — including co-op and condo application strategy — proactive follow-up, and making a process that can feel overwhelming much more organized and manageable. I work with first-time buyers, families, sellers, and clients in transition, as well as international buyers seeking a primary residence, investment property, or NYC pied-à-terre.I speak conversational Mandarin and bring cultural fluency to working with international and cross-border clients. Having lived in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and London, I frequently advise Asia-based buyers — including parents purchasing for children in NYC and clients seeking pied-à-terres — and am experienced coordinating remotely across time zones.Before real estate, my career spanned journalism and senior marketing and strategy roles at global firms including American Express and Moody\'s Analytics. I began in journalism with the Asian Wall Street Journal in Hong Kong and later led cross-functional teams and major initiatives — a project management mindset I now bring to every transaction.Outside of work, I\'m a mother of two boys and active in my community through nonprofit board service, including a public charter school and Pickleball Positive Communities. I also serve my alma mater, Cornell University, as Class Officer, and member of the CU Council, Presidential Council for Cornell Women & love helping clients feel confident and cared for — and making the process as clear and steady as possible from start to finish.
