Specializing in Harlem and Upper Manhattan, She has been involved in various real estate projects in the area, including renovations and large-scale developments. Vie is known for her ability to guide people through important decisions with a personal and thoughtful approach.
Vie’s career is rooted in a simple yet powerful philosophy: knowledge is power.

The team’s personalized staging services, a standout feature especially during the pandemic, have proven instrumental in helping properties stand out in a competitive market.
Outside of real estate, Vie’s vibrant personality shines through her love for cooking. She often shares her favorite recipes with clients and plans to launch a YouTube cooking channel in 2025. This passion underscores her belief that real estate is more than transactions—it is about building relationships. “A home is where life unfolds,” she says. “I want my clients to feel that connection from the beginning.”
As one of the first Black women to break into Manhattan’s mainstream real estate market, Vie has paved the way for others, mentoring the next generation of agents and fostering a culture of inclusion. Her impact extends far beyond the properties she sells, resonating throughout the lives of her clients and the Harlem community she holds dear.
