Ella Semyonova
Ella Semyonova is a distinguished Global Real Estate Advisor and Associate Broker with Sotheby’s International Realty, celebrated for nearly three decades of excellence across New York City and The Hamptons. She began her real estate career in 1996 and joined Sotheby’s in 1998, quickly becoming a trusted force among discerning domestic and international clients.
Now living on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, Ella brings a sophisticated, insider’s understanding of the city’s most coveted neighborhoods — from iconic prewar co‑ops to modern luxury condominiums — while also offering deep expertise throughout The Hamptons, where she guides clients to exceptional coastal homes and investment opportunities.
Ella is known for her impeccable reputation, unwavering integrity, refined discretion, and white‑glove professionalism. Her clients consistently praise her for her calm confidence, strategic insight, and dedication to truly personalized service.
Before entering real estate, Ella spent eight years as a chemical trader for a New York–based international trading house. This high‑stakes environment sharpened her negotiation skills, financial acumen, and global perspective, all of which now give her clients a powerful advantage in competitive markets.
With a strong network throughout Europe and Eastern Europe, Ella is a trusted advisor to international buyers, sellers, and investors who rely on her expertise when navigating the complexities of U.S. real estate. She understands the importance of confidentiality and cultural nuance, ensuring a seamless, stress‑free experience supported by her curated team of financial advisors, bankers, and attorneys.
Born and raised in Moscow, Russia, Ella holds a bachelor’s degree in earth sciences and a master’s degree in economic geography from Moscow State University — a foundation that deepens her analytical approach to market trends, valuation, and global investment patterns.
Today, Ella brings her global sophistication and strategic brilliance to SamplePowers, where she will be a powerful, high‑impact asset working alongside Elizabeth Sample and Brenda Powers. Her international reach, negotiation mastery, and deep market knowledge make her an exceptional complement to the legendary SamplePowers brand — elevating the team’s already unmatched standard of excellence.
