DANIELA'S BIOGRAPHY

A New Jersey native with international roots, Daniela DeGrazia embodies a rare blend of global sophistication, refined hospitality expertise, and deep market intuition—qualities that have established her as a trusted presence in both New York City and Hamptons luxury real estate. Raised between the East Coast and sun-soaked summers in Sicily, she developed an early appreciation for exceptional food, culture, and design. This cultivated worldliness now informs every detail of the client experience she delivers.

A graduate of Rutgers Business School with a concentration in Business Administration and Finance, Daniela began her career at the pinnacle of luxury hospitality. She managed the iconic SPAGO by Wolfgang Puck, helped launch ARIA under the mentorship of Sirio Maccioni, and spent seven formative years at the Bellagio. There, she collaborated directly with President Bobby Baldwin on innovative guest-experience initiatives and oversaw MGM’s top 5% of global clientele—those with credit lines exceeding $15 million. Immersion in this elite environment sharpened her discretion, intuition, and ability to provide seamless, anticipatory service at the highest level.

In 2016, Daniela relocated to New York City to close the legendary Le Cirque in the Bloomberg Building for the Maccioni family, later assuming leadership roles with Jean-Georges and The Peninsula Hotel. When the pandemic reshaped the hospitality industry, she transitioned naturally into luxury real estate—a world that aligned with her upbringing, her father’s lifelong work as a builder and restorer, and her innate understanding of how discerning clients live, think, and invest.

Since joining SERHANT., Daniela has closed more than $22 million in sales, building a business defined by precision, persistence, and discreet client advocacy. Her expertise spans Tribeca, Soho, Noho, and the Hamptons—from Southampton to Montauk. These are not merely markets she serves; they are communities she inhabits, understands, and engages with deeply. Her presence is well-rooted, and she remains closely connected to the restaurateurs, owners, and long-standing locals who shape the fabric of these neighborhoods.

Bold, proactive, and relentlessly strategic, Daniela excels at identifying opportunities others overlook. She conducts meticulous analyses of delisted and off-market inventory, combines hospitality-level relationship management with data-driven systems, and tailors every step of the process to each client’s lifestyle, priorities, and long-term vision. Her service is elevated, intuitive, and grounded in an unwavering commitment to excellence.

With a global perspective, elite hospitality pedigree, and more than a decade immersed in the country’s most coveted real estate markets, Daniela DeGrazia delivers a sophisticated, bespoke, and results-driven approach that resonates with today’s luxury buyers and sellers. Her clients trust her discretion, depend on her judgment, and value her ability to elevate every aspect of the real estate experience.
