As a child growing up in New York City, Justine’s parents introduced her to the world of real estate—bringing her along to one of their favorit pastimes: visiting open houses. Their passion for purchasing and developing both commercial and residential properties taught Justine the value of commitment, collaboration, and creativity, while sparking the entrepreneurial spirit that continues to drive her today.
Justine first applied that spirit in the fashion industry. While attending the Fashion Institute of Technology, she managed a large gift showroom in Manhattan and coordinated their participation in the International Gift Fair at the Jacob Javits Convention Center. After graduation, she built a successful career in luxury retail, serving as a Sales Manager for several elite department and specialty stores.
Even as her career evolved, Justine’s enthusiasm for real estate never waned. She earned her real estate license in 2004 and went on to manage a prominent residential brokerage in White Plains, NY. In 2017, she achieved the coveted Accredited Buyer’s Representative (ABR) designation, and in 2023, added the Seller Representative Specialist (SRS) credential to her expertise.
In 2019, Justine took her entrepreneurial drive and love of helping people to the next level, launching Chic Living Homes, now proudly affiliated with Houlihan Lawrence. Guided by her vision and core values, she has built a reputation for exceptional service—helping buyers and sellers across Westchester County and Fairfield County, Connecticut with professionalism, insight, and genuine care.
Having bought and sold many homes throughout the region, Justine has developed a deep passion for home improvement projects and design. She is a volunteer at Adopt-A-Dog in Armonk, NY, whose mission is to save, socialize, and secure loving homes for unwanted or abandoned dogs, and also volunteers with SNARR, an organization devoted to rescuing special needs animals and giving them a second chance at life. Justine and Houlihan Lawrence proudly support community initiatives throughout Westchester County. Her husband is a volunteer firefighter in the town of Somers, where they live with their daughter, who attends the University of Miami.
On my search for my first home, Justine was referred to me from my lender. From the first conversation we had regarding where, and what I was looking for in a home, I felt immediately that Justine was the right person to assist me on my journey. As my home search progressed, Justine was very responsive and accommodating for viewings. I also had a lot of questions during the process, and Justine always did her best to provide me with the right answers and resources. After a few months, I eventually located a home that I really liked after viewing it. Justine made sure my offer was delivered timely, and a few weeks later, I eventually closed on my first home, which I am more than excited and overwhelmed by. Overall, Justine made my first home purchase very seamless, and made sure everything went smoothly from when we first spoke to post closing. If you are looking for an awesome person to work with purchasing your first or next home, look no further. I highly recommend Justine!
Justine is the ultimate pro! Justine had recently listed a home, which had an over ask accepted offer the first weekend listed. Justine's professionalism, understanding of the market, her eye on prepping the home to be 'sale ready' was on point. She is a dream to work with!
We had the pleasure of working with Justine on the sale of our home in Somers. She did a great job advising us on price, putting together marketing materials that showcased our home, helping us with all the hoops of the sale process (and we ended up selling above ask). She was personally engaged, responsive and helpful throughout. And most of all we are very appreciative of how helpful, available and accommodative she was with a bunch of logistical things (because we are based in Brooklyn) — if anything was needed at the house and we couldn’t be there, she was there acting on our behalf. She made the entire process incredibly easy, which speaks to her professionalism and client focus. We highly recommend her and definitely would work with her again.
Justine has been a complete pleasure from beginning to end of this transaction. Her professionalism and knowledge were outstanding and a total pleasure to work with.
Justine provides exceptional service and has been a pleasure to work with on many successful closings. I have personally had the privilege of closing with Justine on numerous transactions with very satisfied clients whom Justine guides through the process and ensures every detail is attended to. I highly recommend Justine for all of your real estate needs.
Justine was extremely helpful in walking me through the ins and outs of purchasing my first property here. She took note of my preferences, matched me up to the right area and guided me throughout. I would highly recommend her.
Justine was patient and caring, especially in this difficult market. She listened and gave us advice and ultimately helped us to successfully purchase our first condo. She treated us as friends versus just another client. We would recommend.
My wife and I were searching for a co-op apartment in Bronxville. With Justine's help we found a nicely renovated three-bedroom. She deftly negotiated a reduction in asking price that we felt represented fair value. Moreover, she kept us posted on every step of the home buying process. We recommend her unconditionally.
Justine is a true partner - always looking out for your best and to bring you strong values and opportunities. Justine is knowledgeable, professional and always current on the market. Additionally, you can call or text Justine morning or night and she is always there for you. I highly recommend working with Justine!
This was my first-time buying property and Justine was there to help me every step of the way. I honestly would've never finished the process if she wasn't there. Her knowledge and her willingness to help, was very unexpected. I wish more people cared about their jobs in this manner. I would recommend her to anyone whether it's your first time or 50th time.... She does GREAT work!
Justine is amazing! Able to navigate an incredibly competitive real estate market for our mutual clients and was definitely the reason their offer rose to the top of considerations. As a lender who has worked with thousands of realtors, there are few that stand alone and Justine is certainly one of them!
