Real Estate.

Personal Attention.

Proven Experience.

A decade at Corcoran Group built my expertise in New York residential real estate. Today, I bring that experience to every client with thoughtful guidance and a personal approach.

Experience That Makes a Difference

Every property has a story. Thoughtful presentation, market knowledge, and personal attention help bring that story to life—and achieve meaningful results.

A Different Perspective on Real Estate

Before I ever put up a “For Sale” sign, I was leading a band.

For years, I was the bandleader and jazz guitarist of the Manhattan Swing Orchestra, performing everywhere from New York's most elegant hotel rooms to a few wonderfully bohemian spots.

Music taught me to listen, read a room, work with all kinds of people, and put everyone at ease. Those lessons have stayed with me throughout my real estate career.

After a decade with The Corcoran Group and Corcoran Country Living, I launched Bonacci Real Estate to combine that experience with the personal attention and hands-on guidance I believe every client deserves.

“Real estate, like music, is about listening for what makes something resonate.”

Thoughtful Strategy. Measurable Impact.

Strategic Marketing & Representation

Every successful sale begins with a thoughtful plan. I combine market analysis, strategic pricing, professional presentation, and targeted marketing to position each property effectively. From our first conversation through negotiations and closing, I provide personal attention and experienced guidance at every step.

Property Preparation & Presentation

First impressions matter. Whether a home needs a few thoughtful adjustments or a more extensive transformation, I help identify improvements that will make the greatest difference. From staging and photography to renovation coordination, my goal is to highlight each property's character, potential, and value.

From Accepted Offer to Closing

An accepted offer is an important milestone, but there's still work to be done. I help buyers and sellers navigate the details of due diligence, financing, board applications, and closing preparations, coordinating with attorneys, lenders, managing agents, and other professionals to keep the transaction moving forward.

BEYOND THE TRANSACTION

Owner Representation & Project Management

Some properties call for more than a real estate transaction. They call for a trusted person on the ground.

At The Colonnade, 347 West 57th Street, I'm serving as owner’s representative for international owners renovating and furnishing their 40th-floor Manhattan condominium.

My role includes design direction, finish selections, contractor supervision, renovation coordination, and furnishing. With the owners based outside New York, I help manage the details, resolve issues, and keep the project moving forward.

It's a hands-on approach built around communication, careful planning, and personal attention.

Kind Words. Lasting Relationships.

The trust of my clients means a great deal to me. Their experiences speak to the care, attention, and commitment I bring to every relationship.
