Olga Zakinova

LICENSED ASSOCIATE REAL ESTATE BROKER

Get to Know Me

"Olga Zakinova doesn't only work real estate. She lives it!" R.B., Forest Hills

Olga’s passion for her work, tireless energy, and dedication to helping clients achieve their goals are evident in each successful transaction. As a result of her impeccable personalized service, enjoys consistent recognition as a top sales producer. Even more rewarding than receiving the highest honors at Douglas Elliman is the fact that 90% of her business comes from repeat and referral clients, of which she’s extremely proud.

Dually licensed at the firm’s Bayside and Roslyn offices, her specialty includes selling all throughout Queens as well as Long Island, the Roslyn area in particular. She expanded her real estate business based on current trends and high demand from clients seeking to transition to the suburbs from NYC. Olga focuses on needs and relationships, more so than on merely closing deals. Working with her, you are not just a number, but a unique individual with important lifestyle and investment goals that must be understood and satisfied swiftly and accurately. As head of The Zakinova Team, she goes above and beyond catering to her clients, and has earned ongoing, glowing testimonials as a result.

Olga and her team provide broad real estate services that exceed the traditional agent. They specialize in probates, estates, and other areas of expertise to streamline the purchase or sale experience in New York and out of state. Their distinguishing advantages include:
 
  • Partnering with top-quality, hand-picked, fully licensed, and insured third-party companies that handle it all, from complete cleanouts to organizing donations, providing dumpsters, holding tag sales, landscaping, disposing of old cars, overseeing contractors, and much more.
  • Working with lots of cash buyers/investors who are interested in buying properties in as-is condition, with no cleanout necessary.
  • Collaborating with a client’s probate attorney to expedite the selling process.
  • Commanding much higher offers than their local agent or investor competitors, thanks to Douglas Elliman’s global reach and resources.
  • Eliminating wasted time and stress for clients with their seasoned experience and knowledge of the probate process.
  • Coordinating every detail at no extra charge, from property management to marketing, staging, and showing a home at its best to sell or rent. One phone call and you’re done!

Originally from Russia, Olga has lived in Queens since 1993. She earned a Computer Science degree, honed her financial expertise at Credit Suisse First Boston, and entered real estate in 2003. Olga worked for Century 21, got her broker's license, and opened her own office in 2007 managing 50 agents. She joined Douglas Elliman in 2008. Listing properties, marketing them creatively, and selling them profitably is where she truly shines. Olga and her team also help buyers and investors from NY and overseas find high-end residential properties and the best value throughout Queens, Long Island, Brooklyn, and Manhattan.

Bilingual in Russian and English, Olga is married with two sons, both of whom lend their talents to her real estate team.

I have been very fortunate to be named Douglas Elliman’s 2022 Platinum Award Winner. The crazy part about all of this is that I never expected to create a successful real estate business because I was afraid of what people would think of me. 
 
Through my journey though, I have been able to overcome that fear and step into my calling: finding people their dream homes.
 
Now, I am an Associate Real Estate Broker at Douglas Elliman who leads a team of over 10 people “The Zakinova Team” and we are dedicated to helping clients achieve their goals in each successful transaction. In fact, 90% of our business comes from repeat and referral clients.
 
Presently I am dually licensed at the New York firm’s Bayside and Roslyn offices and proud to specialize in selling all throughout Queens as well as Long Island, the Roslyn area in particular.

What My Clients Say
Olga was extremely helpful in every aspect of the estate sale of my mother's house, she was very knowledgeable and guided us through the whole process.

— Christina C.

What My Clients Say
Olga helped us through a complicated estate sale. The house would have never sold if she had not been willing to be involved in every step needed. She pursued all the convoluted issues that evolved and kept us up-to-date and on track. We enjoyed working with her positive attitude and her amazing expertise.

What My Clients Say
Olga and Roman helped me and my family numerous times in my Real Estate transactions. When I listed my COOP apartment with their team, they used their knowledge and skills to find me a most qualified buyer within a short period of time (about 1 week). I did not expect to be in a contract that quick at a price I wanted to get. This allowed me to buy 2 family investment properties, where Olga helped me aga...

What My Clients Say
Olga is the only person you should consider dealing with. My wife and I have worked with her for both buying and selling an apartment in Queens. She knows the areas she works in amazingly well, both big picture and down to the details of every building. She is an expert on the entire process and will help guide you through everything and make it all as easy as possible (everything from co-op board interv...

What My Clients Say
Olga Zakinova is the best real estate broker I have ever dealt with. She was the broker when I bought my house five years ago and I was so impressed by her skills that I asked her to be my broker when I sold the house five years later. She knows how to assess a house's advantages and disadvantages and is very knowledgeable about the area and what kind of buyers would be interested. She gave great advice ...

What My Clients Say
I retained Olga's services due to her expertise and strong knowledge of the coop market, especially in Queens. She assisted me with the entire process from beginning to end including recommending cosmetic improvements to enhance the "curb appeal" of the unit and list price. She kept me informed of potential buyers and provided her opinion of their seriousness and readiness to buy. Unfortunately, due to t...

It was a pleasure working with Olga Zakinaova. She is by far one of the best real estate agents I have ever worked with!

From the day we submitted our offer to closing, Olga was there for us, every step of the way, from start to finish. She helped expedite our board package and got us a board meeting i...

What My Clients Say
My experience with Olga goes back approx. 9 years ago she sold me and my wife our apartment and everything I remember about her then holds true today.

Her knowledge of every aspect of the sale process is tremendou...

What My Clients Say
Buying a home is a very stressful process, and selling one at the same time just adds to it. Olga was the agent of the apartment I was buying, and I was so impressed by her professionalism and knowledge that I decided to hire her to sell my apartment as well. Olga made the process extremely smooth. She offered her mortgage bank loan officer, who turned out to be fantastic. She offered an attorney, who tu...

What My Clients Say
I have been working with Olga and Roman and their team for a couple of years now. We have been wanting to get an apartment for a couple of years but COVID hit and that plan was put on hold. I was still very apprehensive and nervous to get anything but because Olga was working with me, I knew I was in good hands. Finally, when the time came Olga knew we were searching and found us a few amazing apartments...
