Arne Olson is a natural fit for real estate. “Manhattan real estate is personal to me,” says Arne, who has been studying the market since he was a teenager. His passion for New York real estate—combined with his longtime interest in architecture and design and his love of working with people—ensures well-rounded, comprehensive guidance for his clients.

A true numbers person, Arne expertly analyzes market trends in order to provide valuable and accurate insights. He is just as comfortable developing creative marketing strategies and implementing out-of-the-box thinking to help his clients reach their goals.

Arne was recently named the Rising Star of the Westside Office for 2022, and has been mentioned in numerous publications such as The Wall Street Journal, S Magazine, and HUF Magazine.

Arne studied Business Administration and graduated with Latin honors from Fordham University. A dancer for over 20 years, he studied classical and contemporary dance at Alvin Ailey, Lines Ballet, Hubbard Street Dance Chicago, and American Ballet Theater.

In his free time, Arne loves exploring Manhattan with friends, enjoying the outdoors (especially the beach), reading a good book, and traveling.

You can’t navigate the New York City real estate market alone. Whether you are buyer, seller, landlord, or renter, you need an agent who is a member of a solid team and part of an established company. We found the perfect fit with Arne Olson. Over the course of two years, he guided us through the process of purchasing a new apartment and selling our old one. From presenting relevant listings, arranging showings, marketing, negotiating, and preparing for closings, Arne knows how the game is played. We were most appreciative of his skills when we had to prepare a comprehensive board package. He grasped the complexities of our finances quickly and relieved us of the burden of putting it all together. Furthermore, he’s a genuinely nice person. He’s enthusiastic, sharp, organized, and tireless. He helped make a potentially stressful experience enjoyable. - Janet C.

"We could not have been happier with our experience with Arne. From the beginning, he understood our mission and helped us secure our family's dream home. He was so supportive each step of the way and made what seemed like a daunting experience a fun journey into shaping our imagined reality. Our 8-year-old son says he is the best and we could not agree more." - Annie A.

"I feel certain you will find, as we most assuredly have, that Mr. Olson is not only a genuinely personable representative, always attractively and appropriately suited to his work, but more importantly, always intellectually equipped to present a property’s features to the best of their ability to meet his/our potential-client’s requirements. Ours is a difficult property for a number of reasons, but we feel confident that Arne has its best qualities in hand ready to promote with good humor and tenacity." - Alvia G.

Being a first-time renter can be very overwhelming, but Arne made sure to explain everything to me and walk me through what could have been a stressful situation. I was asking for a lot, as I had many specific requirements and a deadline. Arne remained confident and calm that he could find what I was looking for.

I can happily say that I just signed another lease on the same unit that Arne found for me. This unit has everything I was looking for. It would not have become mine without Arne’s dedication, knowledge, and determination. I am so grateful to have found my perfect home all thanks to Arne’s hard work.

Please do not hesitate to contact me should you have any more questions about the incredible talent that is Arne Olson. - Jess L.
