I am a 23+ year Wall St veteran with over $100 million raised and $10 million in commissions in my career. I have recently made the switch from the stock market to the real estate market, where I will bring my expertise in negotiating and closing and put it to work for you. I have had experience in buying, selling and renting properties personally and would enjoy the opportunity to help you buy, sell or rent your next property.

Hello and welcome! My name is Hope and I am a licensed real estate agent in the state of New York and a lifelong resident. As a real estate agent working on your behalf, I bring a significant knowledge of the city and surrounding suburbs. So whether you’re a residential client in search of a single-family home, townhome, cooperative, condominium or rental apartment or a commercial client looking to lease space for your business or nonprofit organization I can help. My background and education in business and psychology enable me to connect with people on a much deeper level as they provide me with greater insight into some of the greatest barriers and needs when searching for a home. When you work alongside me, you’ll have someone who understands from both a professional and personal standpoint the importance of the right living space which includes the physical structure as well as the external and natural surroundings since all of these can tremendously impact our overall health and wellbeing.



Also a positive attitude, relentless optimism and perseverance in the face of obstacles as well as strong negotiation skills are just a few of the many attributes that contribute to my success. I am passionate about helping others reach their goals whether it’s pertaining to real estate or in any other area of life. While I can and will work with virtually any client, I have a unique background and set of experiences that give me an edge over most colleagues and allow me to assist buyers and renters with special housing needs such as persons with disabilities, veterans and seniors. No real estate challenge is too great and I am honored and privileged to take on the challenges of this rapidly growing population.



Besides my current role as a real estate agent, I am also a certified professional life coach (CPLC) and an active member and volunteer at my local church. I have several other interests that include: classical music, fine art, nature walking, reading and genealogy. When not assisting would-be home buyers and sellers, I enjoy spending time coaching individuals towards a happier, healthier and brighter future so they can truly thrive in life.

As a Licensed Real Estate Agent, my mission is to use my diversity in the real estate industry, as well as my experience as a home buyer and seller, to educate clients and help them achieve their real estate goals.



My career in real estate officially began over twenty years ago as a Leasing Consulting, marketing high rise apartment homes and showcasing the features and benefits of a prime community that met the needs of individuals from various and diverse backgrounds. Subsequently, I transitioned into roles at national third party management companies such as Jones Lang LaSalle and Cushman and Wakefield where my responsibilities focused on lease administration, property accounting and property management of office and commercial retail properties.



Nothing prepares a person for success in life like a great education. In 1997, I achieved my Bachelor’s in Communications and Associates in Administration Justice from Howard University, a Historical Black Institution located in the Nation’s Capital.  With a rich history of developing some of the most successful and profound individuals, Howard University paved the way for my longevity and continued success in life.  Some twenty years later, my desire for higher learning continued by successfully graduating from the New York Real Estate Institute in 2017.  And more success is right around the corner.

I am a real estate professional committed to offering exemplary service for my clients to achieve long term return for their real estate investment at all times.  I accomplish this by providing excellent customer service, creating values of professionalism, honesty, expertise, and diligence, while building rapport.

My name is Claudia Perez.  I've been in the real estate industry for the past 20 years. I started as a property manager for HPD, managing their TIL (Tenant Interim Leasing) buildings. These buildings were abandoned by the landlords and in need of renovations and were taken over by Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).  I later developed a passion for real estate and got my sales agent license in 2010.  I've negotiated short sale deals, managed residential units, and closed on several properties on my own.  I enjoy the real estate industry. 

What I most enjoy is helping a person find their dream home to start their life.

I started in real estate in 2002 as a private investor. In 2006, I pursued a different aspect of real estate and became a Real Estate Agent. Ten years later, Thompson Group Real Estate was birthed to be a hub for a higher standard of service to sellers and buyers.  We are focused on surpassing our customers' expectations by cultivating a group of trustworthy, diligent agents who are knowledgeable of the local real estate market and can leverage technology to be more responsive to the needs of all our clients.
