Lia loves teaming up with buyers to help them find and secure their dream homes. She has purchased and renovated multiple homes of her own and uses her design skills to identify the pros and cons in properties. When working with sellers, Lia treats their homes as if they were her own, and confidently prices and stages them for maximum profit. Often, she helps clients buy and sell at the same time and works carefully and strategically to align both deals. With extensive experience analyzing the market, submitting and vetting offers, negotiating details, and navigating co-op and condo boards, she’s skilled at keeping deals on track and reaching the finish line.
Prior to working in real estate, Lia spent 10 years in the online editorial departments at top companies including AOL, About.com and Food Network. After purchasing her first home in 2007, a co-op apartment that needed a gut renovation, she fell in love with real estate and design. In 2012, she became a real estate agent and has closed over $125 million in sales since then.
A native New Yorker, Lia’s been a loyal resident of Brooklyn since 2001 and has called many neighborhoods home. She lives with her husband Daniel who hails from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and their three children in a Windsor Terrace home they fully renovated in 2019. She loves discovering new restaurants, biking with her family in Prospect Park and practicing her Portuguese.

"The absolute, unequivocal reason we were able to find and get an accepted offer on our dream home was because we used Lia Wiedemann as our agent. What you hope for in a realtor is someone who really 'gets' you, understands where you belong, and is easy to work with. Lia checks all of those boxes. She knew the house we'd end up falling for before we did. And, it was specifically because of her lovely, approachable attitude that the sellers accepted our offer over others. She also sold our condo during the absolute height of the pandemic. Not only did Lia navigate that stressful time with grace; guiding us through the process of virtual tours and visits, she kept us all relaxed and confident. She found us a buyer that was a breeze to work with and a purchase price that was right where we wanted to be. Lia's connectedness and friendliness throughout her own industry serves all of her clients immensely. I'm so glad we worked with her and I couldn't recommend her highly enough." - Kristyn

"Lia represented us on the sale of our Cobble Hill condo, and we loved working with her. Lia listened and really heard and stuck to our needs. She offered steadfast, and patient advice and an on-point sales strategy. Furthermore, her sense of design and space is impeccable and she helped us stage and photograph our place beautifully. Lia was very knowledgeable on the Brooklyn market, and also had a wealth of resources and vendors to suggest. Lia generated a ton of buzz for our home and was diligent in her follow up with us and potential buyers and moved quickly ensuring a swift sale of our home. She's a pleasure to work with - an honest and a lovely human! " - Melanie

"My husband and I had a great experience working with Lia! As this was our first time buying a home, we really appreciated Lia's guidance and kindness. Lia is very easy to work with; we felt comfortable with her and appreciated her integrity and warmth. She has great insights into the real estate market and a strong network of great people around her. We found our real estate attorney, mortgage broker, and home inspector all through Lia, and everyone we worked with was fabulous. I've already recommended Lia to our friends, and recommend her to anyone looking for a trust-worthy real estate agent." - Candace
★★★★★
"I recently worked Lia to buy my condo in Brooklyn. I've been to countless open houses and vetted numerous agents, and I knew Lia was the one I wanted to work with when we first met. She's very professional, knowledgeable, reasonable, prompt, and importantly, pleasant to work with. She always put her clients' interests first and felt like a partner in the transaction (as opposed to an aggressive seller).
I also heavily relied on her while I navigated through the complex real estate transaction process. I highly recommend her to my friends and family, and in fact, I already have. I look forward to working with her again in future." - Shane
★★★★★
"Lia supported us in making our first home purchase in Brooklyn this fall. She is absolutely fantastic! She knows the market incredibly well and has a wide network to leverage for anything else you need. We ultimately also chose to work with her recommended attorney and mortgage broker as their expertise also far outweighed others we were introduced to. She treated us as her top priority all of the time and with great care - as first time buyers in the market we had a lot of questions. Many of the brokers we met prior to Lia had us walking away from them feeling like weren’t knowledgeable or well connected enough to work with. Lia was just the opposite - she was a true partner - and now friend. If you’re in the market for talented and genuine broker, Lia is that person."- Pamela
★★★★★
"Lia Wiedemann exceeded every expectation as our buying agent. She got to know us, and became an expert advisor on how our family and lifestyle could best be served by various apartments and neighborhoods. She gave us guidance on how different amenities would improve our day-to-day, recommendations on how we could make the most of unique spaces, and functionality that we would want from our apartment as our family grew.
Lia has a deep knowledge of housing inventory in Brooklyn. She has exceptional industry contacts. We were equally impressed with our mortgage broker who came recommended by Lia.
We never felt pressure to make an offer (Lia worked with us for three years), but when we finally got serious about a place we loved, she took time to have many conversations going over every detail. She worked all angles and information to help us make the right offer and cautiously but confidently pull through a small bidding war. Lia responded to every email no matter how unimportant it was to the bigger picture.
End-to-end, buying an apartment in NYC is a very fond memory for me and my husband, which is something I didn't think was possible in such a competitive market and the credit for that goes to Lia." - Annie
★★★★★
"I had the pleasure of working with Lia as both a buyer and seller for my recent move. After 12 years in Manhattan, my partner & I decided to make the move to Brooklyn. Lia had an incomparable insight into all the neighborhoods in the area and was able to listen to our needs and translate that into an effective and fruitful search - resulting in the purchase of our dream home. She was also able to provide guidance / expertise in how to proceed with the ensuing bidding war and next steps. We felt taken care of and like she was on top of the transaction every step of the way.
In addition to the home search in Brooklyn, Lia also sold our Manhattan condo for us. She was in constant communication about how every open house went, what we could do to increase value & interest in the property, trends in the market, etc. She gives wonderful personal attention and has immense patience, qualities I needed when making such a large purchase!" - Alexandra
