Specialties

Generalists »

I conduct the majority of my business on the Upper East Side, Midtown East and the Upper West Side but I have assisted my clients buy and sell real estate throughout the city. In fact, for the past four years, I have worked extensively in Greenwich Village, the Wall Street and Times Square areas as well as Brooklyn. I have experience working with all types of real estate, from pied-a-terre studios to large, family apartments.

International clients »

Coming from an international background, I understand the needs and sensitivities of people relocating to the city. One of my strengths is my ability to quickly and effectively communicate the nuances of New York City real estate in a way that enables my clients to make educated decisions.

First-time NYC buyers »

For the past 20 years, a large percentage of my business has been transactions of $3 million and below. As such, many of my clients have been first-time buyers. First-time buyers have unique needs that I have become an expert at addressing. Most importantly, I take the time to guide my clients step by step through the entire transaction so that they feel confident in their decision.

Investors »

My team specializes in representing investors and renting their investment properties. We build long-term relationships with our investor clients because we know that closing the transaction is just the beginning of the investment. In many cases, my team acts as the local liaison between the tenant and our client. We are experts at analyzing investment returns and we know the rental market inside and out.

Agent's personal statement

I may not have seen everything there is to see with respect to New York City real estate, but my 20 years of experience as a broker including four years as a manager of 250 brokers, has prepared me to successfully confront any possible challenge that may arise in a real estate transaction. Inevitably, there will be unexpected issues in your purchase or sale. My ability to adapt and quickly identify solutions is what my clients have come to rely on me for. My dedication to my clients is unwavering which is one reason why I've been able to forge long-term relationships with my clients.

 

My role as your broker is to advise you with respect to every facet of the real estate experience. Getting you to the point where you are comfortable and confident in your decision is my ultimate goal.

 

My performance has not only earned me a strong reputation with my clients, but also within the New York real estate industry. I serve on several committees at the Real Estate Board of New York, a 110 year old trade organization which pursues initiatives that impact the industry and the City.

 

Whether you are looking to buy or sell, I look forward to sharing my enthusiasm and expertise with you.

Our summary of
Steen Rasmussen

"Steen is originally from Denmark. Like many Danes, he speaks several languages fluently. Having watched him work for 20 years, we know he has a low-key approach and is very hard working. He has lived on the Upper East Side for years, but is also very familiar with Midtown East and the Upper West side. Steen is polished, refined, and has a wonderful sense of humor."

“Steen put so much effort into finding the unique solution to our needs. We purchased two co-op units and combined them.”

I would recommend Steen to anyone. He was amazing. and put so much work into helping us with every part of the process. He was so patient – we were very difficult customers. He never pushed us or got fed up with us. We wanted to look at everything and had very little money to spend! We wanted to buy and combine apartments as this was a cheaper way to get the space we needed with three children and a live in nanny. He researched every single combination on the market in painstaking detail and showed us every possibility. In the end we did a very complex purchase of two separate units with Board permission to combine them and it was very successful.
“Steen is warm and empathetic. He made an intimidating process much less so.”

We sold our co-op apartment on the Upper East Side through Steen. We spoke to a number of agents, and Steen was the most knowledgeable about our neighborhood and the market in general. Along with being a knowledgeable professional, he has a warm and empathetic personal demeanor. He took what was one of the most intimidating situations of our lives and put us at ease. We put 100% of our trust in him and it worked. Steen is a rock solid human being in what can sometimes be a sea of challenging choices.

Steen was the broker on an apartment I bought a number of years ago, and I have since been in regular contact with him. I came to own an condo in Chelsea that was transfered to me because of a debt, and Steen helped me to sell it. He was terrific. Steen did an appraisal and told me I could get $795,000 for the home. I believed that estimate was too high, especially in a poor market, but just five weeks later, Steen sold the condo for that exact amount. Steen made life easy for me. Steen is currently working to find a larger apartment for me and my family. We have been in touch for over a dozen years, and he knows what I am looking for. I own commercial real estate in Manhattan, and I have a strong sense of who knows their product. Steen is very knowledgeable and diligent, but more importantly, he is there for you. He is calm and walks you through the information. Making a profit is not his first priority. Steen consistently gives you the same, high quality service, whether he is working with a home worth half a million or a home worth three million. I am confident that I will work with Steen again in the future.

I have worked with Steen on several occasions and I still call him any time I need advice or input about real estate. Steen has helped me to buy and sell properties on the Upper East Side and he is a pleasure to work with. There are only positive things to say about his personality, his knowledge and his patience. I can only highly recommend him. He is a great combination of knowledge, professionalism, and the right attitude.
“We've used Steen to both buy and sell. He is a great listener and quite patient.”

Steen helped my wife and I to buy our first home in Manhattan, when we moved from Connecticut in 1996. We have since used Steen to sell the same home and in both cases, we had a very positive experience working with him. We met Steen at an open house, and had not heard of him prior. However, we liked his approach and his method. Within three months, Steen showed us 30 different places. He was very patient. We were new to the New York market so he gave us a lot of valuable information on value and the neighborhood. Steen listened to us and understood what we were looking for. We were one of the first to see the apartment we ended up buying because Steen had a strong sense of the type of home we wanted. We made an offer almost immediately. Particularly relevant to the New York City market, Steen was equally helpful with the co-op board approval process. When we decided to sell, we went back to him. In a different market, Steen did a great job of pricing correctly, marketing right, and remaining fair.
“Courteous and patient agent. Steen has great communication skills.”

Steen was very helpful because I was not familiar with the Upper West Side and he guided me through the process of applying to the co-op board. Steen was always courteous and patient. I never felt as if he was pressuring me to make a decision. Steen has great communication skills and is a top quality agent.
