A 30+ year passion for New York City combined with a competitive nature, fight-to-win instinct, and a love for meeting new and interesting people make real estate the perfect profession for Lily Lee Wong. With over two decades of experience, she has done thousands of transactions at every price point and in every area of the city. Reliability, integrity, honesty, and diligence mixed with heavy doses of humor and patience keep her referrals and repeat customer base solidly in place.

Lily offers sellers and buyers a vast knowledge of the city cultivated through real estate, education, and personal exploration. She can view a property from both its personal perspective as a potential home and from its financial angle as part of a portfolio expansion. Buyers benefit from her listening skills, tireless hours of research, and availability. Sellers can rely on her marketing skills and attention to detail from pricing to closing. She is equally comfortable with leasing and has long relationships with many landlords. She can work easily with any attorney, managing agent, superintendent, bank, or broker to get to the closing table.

Prior to joining Brown Harris Stevens, Lily, who hails from Texas, performed on Broadway for nearly two decades. She traveled on national tours, danced in regional ballet companies, and appeared in numerous commercials and industrials. She takes great pride in being in iconic Broadway companies of both “Cats” and “A Chorus Line."

Lily is active with the New York Chinese Cultural Center and in her own Harlem community. Having raised two amazing daughters in NYC, she is an expert at navigating Upper East Side schools, the many playing fields of the city, as well as the awesome world of equestrian show jumping. Having renovated their townhouse in Harlem in 1999 from the ground up, she has garnered contacts for any renovation, large or small, that she will happily refer out to clients. In her free time she loves art, theatre, travel, horses, dogs, music, and culinary arts. Lily currently serves on the board of Live & In Color, which develops new work for the stage that promotes and celebrates diversity.

The client says it best:

"I wholeheartedly recommend Lily Wong as a broker for residential real estate in New York City. Lily is a tireless individual who constantly works hard for her clients. We have utilized her services on both the buy and the sell side of real estate transactions. In both scenarios, she never ceased to exceed our expectations. Lily was very helpful and knowledgeable throughout the process. We were able to successfully complete a couple transactions in the competitive Manhattan environment, with pricing in the range of our objectives. In addition, she took the lead in putting together a co-op application that easily led to board approval. She is extraordinarily responsive, returning calls and emails promptly.

Most importantly, it is apparent from the start that she puts the interests of the client first. She is honest and clear in her communications. She is your ally. As purchasing/selling real estate in New York can be a stressful process for anyone, a trustworthy representative like Lily makes the process much easier." – David L.
