Alexa and Lillian Chase are Licensed Real Estate Salespersons in New York and are members of the top-producing, mother and daughter Chase Team based in the New City Sales Gallery.

Lillian was a licensed Series 7, 63, and 3 representative, working in international operations in New York and throughout Asia. Her Wall Street experience prior to her successful real estate career has given her extensive knowledge of investments, economic trends and the opportunity to gain skills as a master negotiator. Combining this with her international real estate investments from around the world and her experience of living overseas for many years, provided Lillian with a unique perspective, company officials stated.
Lillian has earned multiple awards throughout her real estate career and contributed to closing more than 100 transactions in 2021. She has been a resident of Rockland County and Bergen County for the past 30 years and is an active member in the community.
In early 2022 Lillian joined forces with her daughter, Alexa, to form The Chase Team. Alexa has a background in marketing and events, working for large global brands such as Vespa. In addition, she has a strong entrepreneurial spirit, creating multiple businesses over the years including a jewelry line which was successfully displayed at luxury hotels such as The St. Regis and The Four Seasons in Bali. In her spare time, Alexa creates video content for her online vegan blog, where she shares plant-based recipes with over 40,000 followers.
“We are very proud to welcome Lillian and Alexa to our Christie’s family – adding them to our team is further assurance that our customers will continue to receive the unique Christie’s experience and the highest level of service in the industry,” said Ilija Pavlovic, President and CEO of Christie’s International Real Estate Group.
