Great Neck Local · Long Island Real Estate Advisor
Moving from the city to Great Neck? I made that move too.
Passionate about turning houses into homes — one key at a time.
For families leaving the city
The move from NYC to the North Shore is its own kind of move.
School districts that change block by block. Property taxes that swing $15,000 between identical houses. An LIRR line that decides your mornings. Tracy lives in Great Neck, made the Manhattan-to-suburbs move herself, and walks families through every one of those decisions — before the house hunt even starts.
She works with Edna Mashaal Realty, Great Neck's leading independent brokerage, and serves buyers in English and Mandarin — from first town tour to closing table.

How it works
Your move, mapped.
01
Shortlist your towns
Great Neck, Manhasset, Roslyn, Port Washington — each has its own rhythm. A conversation about your family, commute, and budget narrows it to two or three.
02
Decode schools & taxes
Which streets feed which schools, what the real tax bill looks like at your price point, and why two identical houses can pay wildly different amounts.
03
Tour like a local
Walk the blocks with someone who lives here — the station walkability that's real vs. advertised, the streets that hear the parkway, the villages that surprise people.
04
Land before September
The whole family calendar runs on the school year. Tracy sequences your NYC sale and suburban purchase so you're settled before the first bell.
Kind words
“Tracy walked us through every step — from the first showing to the closing table, we always knew exactly where things stood.”
About Tracy
A neighbor first.
Born in China, raised in LA, and now calling New York home — Tracy is a proud mom of two girls, transplanted from Manhattan to Great Neck.
Off the clock you'll find her embarking on culinary journeys around the globe with her family. On the clock, that same curiosity and care shows up in how she works with buyers, sellers, and the people she lives alongside on the North Shore.
