Yasmin Akhavan

A sales veteran for over 25 years, Yasmin was a gemologist at Tiffany & Co. for a decade. She began selling diamonds, and went on to become the coordinator of the Trade Accounts in the Middle East. She was responsible for opening stores, training staff, and managing operations with the support of Tiffany & Co. and her group. Prior to joining Douglas Elliman, Yasmin ran her own concierge services company, which consulted with prominent clients in the U.S. and overseas. She personally coordinated flawless, creative deals involving the purchase and sale of fine art, jewelry, and antiques.

“I chose to go into real estate because it allows me to do what I love, and be in my element with people who are making an important decision at a very crucial time in their lives. My balance of pragmatism and resourcefulness from my business background helps me assist clients in obtaining even the loftiest goals.”

In her free time, Yasmin enjoys going to the theatre, biking along the Hudson River, and learning about different cultures and languages. She is fluent in English, French, and Farsi.
