Lynn Kaplan
With more than two decades in New York real estate - and a career shaped by entertainment, design, production, and downtown culture - Lynn Kaplan brings a uniquely sophisticated lens to the business of buying and selling homes. A lifelong New Yorker, Lynn has lived across nearly every corner of Manhattan: from the East Village and Soho to Tribeca, the Upper East Side, the Upper West Side, the West Village, and landmark residences including The Apthorp, The Police Building, and The Archive. That lived experience gives her clients something increasingly rare in today’s market: real intuition grounded in firsthand knowledge of how New Yorkers actually live.
Before real estate, Lynn built a career in entertainment and media, working on the Grammy Awards, television commercials, and as a Talent Executive at NBC. She later opened a vintage furnishings and antiques gallery on the Lower East Side, where her passion for architecture, interiors, renovation, and sourcing distinctive spaces naturally evolved into residential real estate.
Licensed since 2004, Lynn quickly earned Rookie of the Year honors and has since advised clients across every segment of the Manhattan market. Her approach is deeply personal, highly attentive, and refreshingly direct. Clients trust her for her emotional intelligence, discretion, sharp instincts, and ability to immediately understand both the practical and emotional dynamics behind a move.
A veteran of New York, Aspen, and the Hamptons, Lynn offers an unusually nuanced understanding of lifestyle-driven real estate. Whether navigating a co-op purchase on the Upper East Side, a downtown loft search, or a Hamptons rental strategy, she brings seasoned perspective, calm guidance, and a no-nonsense efficiency that resonates with sophisticated clients.
The Katzen Team is proud to welcome Lynn Kaplan, whose experience, cultural fluency, and deeply New York point of view further strengthens the team’s advisory-driven approach to the market.
