Meet Leo
Cheng Wei Chen.

"Where real estate, food, and lifestyle come together — with a little help from my Corgi, Brulee."

Leo brings a dual perspective as both a licensed real estate salesperson and an active developer with deep expertise in construction, renovation, and investment. That background, paired with strong market knowledge, means unmatched insight on property potential, renovation costs, zoning, and long-term value.

He works frequently with international buyers and clients using overseas funds, guiding them through cross-border transactions, compliance, and financing — breaking complex trends into clear terms and walking clients from financing to closing.

Whether you're a New Yorker searching for your next home, an international client building a U.S. portfolio, or an investor hunting a great multifamily, Leo offers clear strategy, honest advice, and full transparency — backed by a sharp eye for investment, a vast network, bilingual communication, and 24/7 responsiveness.

He specializes in NYC real estate with a focus on Long Island City, Manhattan, and the surrounding boroughs, and covers key Long Island markets including Roslyn, Manhasset, and Hicksville — particularly for ground-up development and major renovation projects.

Born in Taiwan, Leo moved to Massachusetts in high school and later to New York to attend Stony Brook University. He now splits his time between Long Island and Manhattan. Beyond real estate he's a passionate foodie, pet lover (his Corgi Brulee has his own Instagram), and lifestyle content creator — always uncovering hidden gems around New York. 🐾
