About Brenda Rau

Brenda Rau DOUGLAS ELLIMAN I am passionate about helping clients find the perfect home or investment property at the right price, while saving them time and effort. Highly honest, professional, thorough and organized, I put an emphasis on customer service, having spent more than 20 years in the restaurant business, managing and opening restaurants around the U.S. "I have a deep love for New York City real estate, which forms the foundation for my work, and drives me to secure the best apartment or townhouse for my clients' needs." To do so, Brenda spends much of her free time monitoring the real estate market in Manhattan, in order to pass along the most up-to-date information to her clients. More importantly, she takes the time to listen to her clients' goals, which leads to the perfect person-property pairing. I currently reside on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, and I know the city well. I love exploring all the different neighborhoods through work and personally with my husband, I have developed an interest in and knowledge of most of the city. Outside of work, I enjoy sailing having grown up doing so on the Chesapeake and eastern seaboard. My other interests include running (New York Road Runners), dining out, visiting museums, and roaming the city streets with my dogs.
