Linette began her real estate career on the on-site sales teams of Manhattan’s most prestigious new developments, including The Orion, The Avery, The Rushmore, and 212 East 47th Street. Working with top developers and a leading sales and marketing firm, she gained expert insight into how new developments are priced, marketed, and sold.
