Howard Hanna NYC Adds 26 Agents

Howard Hanna NYC has added 26 real estate agents to its Manhattan operations, signaling continued expansion. Among the new recruits is the Andrew Klima Team, which previously operated under SERHANT. This team achieved $58 million in sales across 90 transactions in 2025, according to Howard Hanna, and serves clients in both Pittsburgh and New York City markets. Andrew Klima, the team's founder, stated that the move will enhance their ability to assist clients with cross-market relocations and investments.

Klima further elaborated that the move provides his team with the benefits of a large brokerage's resources alongside the personalized support of a family-run firm. He highlighted Howard Hanna's culture as one that merges institutional strength with accessible leadership. This strategic move, he believes, will allow his team to better serve clients across Pittsburgh and New York City while utilizing a national platform that maintains an entrepreneurial and collaborative feel.

In addition to the Andrew Klima Team, Howard Hanna NYC has integrated agents from other brokerages, including members of the FAST Advisory Group. Christopher Avesian, James Ferrando, and Elizabeth Steele joined from Corcoran. Other new agents have been incorporated into existing teams, such as Nadia Sunn and Renee Bulles joining Bert Johnson's team. The brokerage also welcomed Alexandra Czapelski, Bess Sullivan, and Malik Allen as new agents.

Michael Rossi, executive vice president of Howard Hanna NYC, indicated that these new hires are consistent with the brokerage's growth strategy. The expansion aims to bolster the firm's presence and service capabilities within the competitive New York City real estate market.
