Manhattan native Emily Fuller Kingston has not only witnessed the fascinating evolution of the city’s distinctive neighborhoods; she’s also enjoyed great success selling many of the wonderful homes that lie within them. A Manhattan real estate veteran since 1986, Emily is an accomplished Agent with the Soho office of Halstead Property, LLC, where she’s successfully served clients since 1993. Her outstanding results have earned Emily repeated recognition as a Producer's Council, Platinum Circle and Private Brokerage Council member; yet her ultimate reward is the ongoing repeat and referral clients who validate the superior quality of her work.

A 1969 pioneer resident of TriBeCa, Emily raised her son in TriBeca, Soho and Noho. While in Soho, she enjoyed the adventure of buying and renovating two buildings with a group of other artists. Emily has since renovated five of her own personal loft/apartment residences, and has enjoyed the journey of progress that’s gone hand in hand with downtown life. She has extensive experience in the sale and rental of loft co-ops and condos, as well as conventional apartments, townhouses and commercial properties both downtown and throughout the city. She also enjoys educating buyers and sellers on the market, and helping to orchestrate a seamless deal that best satisfies their unique needs.

Emily serves a diverse clientele, yet because of her deep roots in the art community enjoys a niche clientele in that area. After earning her BS in Art Education from Tufts University, she moved to New York and found work at The Museum of Modern Art where she interacted with numerous curators, architects and artists who presented their work. Emily also studied at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston for four years, and at the Art Student's League and School of Visual Arts in NYC. She has long been an active and dedicated contemporary realistic landscape painter whose work can be found in the Museum of Modern Art, the Indianapolis Museum of Art, and other public collections.

With an artistic sensibility and keen eye for design that complements her vast expertise and market knowledge, Emily not only helps buyers envision the possibilities of space, but brings to life the best features of a seller’s home to ensure optimal exposure, and the highest price. All her loyal clients appreciate the tremendous care, dedication, integrity and professionalism she demonstrates through their real estate transactions.

Outside of work, her interests include art, architecture, antiques, and the history of New York City from the 17th–20th Century. Emily is a member of the Real Estate Board of New York, and has served as an artist trustee of the Bergen Museum of Art & Science in Paramus, New Jersey. She currently resides in Chelsea.

When I first met Emily, we were on opposite sides of the negotiation table; she and I were both representing clients in a real estate deal. This was my first real estate sale. Through the entire process, I realized how little I knew and how much Emily did know. She was the consummate professional, and even though I was green in the industry, she took the time to make sure I did things the right way. 10 years later, when my wife and I were looking to sell our home, I only had one person in mind to help us out – Emily. She knew the neighborhood, she knew the comps, and she understood how our particular circumstances made it imperative that we get the deal we needed. Once again, Emily was here to save the day. Thank you very much! – Brian S.
