Alina Pogorelova is a member of the Morrel Hirsch & Advisors team in the Christie’s International Real Estate Group. Morrel Hirsch is one of the leading brokerages in the New York area, and has transacted over $3.5 billion in sales to date.
Alina knows that being an excellent real estate advisor takes more than just an understanding of the market, it also requires an understanding of the unique needs of each client. Her combination of clear communication, effective negotiating skills, and sheer tenacity makes her the ultimate advocate for her clients. Aided by her degree in business management and finance, studying Artificial Intelligence at MIT Slone, and ten years of experience selling New York real estate, Alina provides the expertise required to achieve the best price for her seller clients and to find the perfect primary home, investment property, or pied-a-terre for her buyers.
Alina joined Morrel Hirsch & Advisors after several years at another two top New York real estate firms. She has specialized in finding and selling unique properties, such as the famed Halston House, which she helped to sell in 2019. By making inroads into the art and entertainment worlds, she has come to represent a number of celebrity clients who value her discretion as well as her skill. She is a resident of both New York City and Miami, where she owns and manages residential and commercial properties.
Alina began her career as Chief Operations Manager of an international company specializing in luxury kitchen appliances, acting as a liaison with architects, designers, builders, interior decorators, and other professionals involved in home construction and remodeling. This experience in project management for home renovations has proved invaluable to her real estate clients.
Born in Ukraine and raised in New York, Alina is fluent in English and Russian. An active supporter of the Russian community in the United States, she works closely with the Russian American Foundation to promote economic, social development, culture, and well-being within the Russian-speaking community in New York and the greater United States.
