Cortney Appelbaum
Education
Cortney understands that just as every property is unique, every client is too. Buying and selling a home is a very personal experience that can be both exciting and overwhelming. A New Yorker for over 20 years, having bought and sold her own apartments, she offers a unique perspective and ability to identify and empathize with everyone she works with. Hardworking and sincere, Cortney listens to the needs of her clients and works tirelessly to ensure a successful result.
After graduating with a BSBA and MS in Human Resources from Western Carolina University and prior to working in real estate, Cortney was a recruiter in the Financial Services industry. Her intuitive style and focus on positive outcomes was a distinct differentiator when hiring talent in a very competitive market, skills that she has translated to her career in real estate.
Cortney lives on the Upper West Side with her husband and teenage son. She enjoys spending her free time focusing on friends and family, traveling, cooking, and enjoying quiet time at her weekend home in Southampton.
"We could not have been happier working with Cortney for our recent sale and purchase of our UWS co-op apartments. What initially seemed like a daunting process, Cortney's sense of calm and confidence allowed us to enjoy the process of finding our dream apartment and guided us so we only had to think about the step immediately ahead. On several occasions, she went above and beyond, including helpful recommendations for staging (even offering hands-on help!). Cortney always knew how best to communicate with us, and we appreciated her consistent flexibility and honesty - not to mention her relaxed and comfortable style - we genuinely enjoyed the time we spent communicating and visiting apartments with her! In the end, we wouldn't have wanted to work with anyone else!"
