Serafima Tikhonova

Real estate professional and lifelong entrepreneur Serafima Tikhonova delivers exceptional experiences for buyers and sellers throughout Manhattan and parts of Brooklyn. She possesses superior sales skills and provides warm, attentive service, and her market knowledge and expertise as a negotiator stem from over a decade of industry success. Clients and colleagues love working with her because of her professionalism, patience, and positivity.
 
Serafima believes that optimal outcomes result from a commitment to hard work, a vast network of contacts, and just a touch of good luck. She is proud to bring all three to bear whether working with a first-time homebuyer, a seasoned investor, or an international buyer. She goes above and beyond to make her clients feel comfortable throughout the buying and selling process.
 
Originally from Russia, Serafima first discovered her dealmaking skills at just ten years old, when she turned a tidy profit selling lollipops to her classmates. After honing her sales talents in the apparel and cosmetics industries, she launched her real estate career in Moscow in 2012. She became the second-best producer among a hundred agents within two years and ascended to the top spot shortly thereafter. In 2015, she relocated to London, learned English, and immersed herself in the local market. In New York, she worked on one of the top-ranked small teams in the city before joining SERHANT. A world traveler fluent in English and Russian, Serafima is a sought-after resource for international clients. She truly shines when promoting listings and sharing New York City stories worldwide on her popular Instagram and YouTube channels.
 
Today, Serafima resides among the charming townhouses of Downtown Manhattan. She takes full advantage of the accessibility of Upper Manhattan and Brooklyn and she loves exploring the city on wheels as a social media ambassador for Unagi electric scooters. She is passionate about sports and healthy living and enjoys golfing, meeting up with friends, and traveling.
