Talia McKinney – Keynote Speaker

Talia McKinney, as seen on Bravo TV’s Million Dollar Listing New York, approaches real estate with the belief that success is built upon the strength of the relationship. Talia McKinney has been working side by side with Ryan Serhant for 6+ years. She now serves as the founder of the, “Talia McKinney Team,” at SERHANT.

She is patient and attentive when listening to client needs and goals, and her sincerity, honesty, and innate ability to connect are how she makes this time-consuming and often emotional process as easy and pleasant as possible. It is also why, after working with her, many of her clients refer her to friends and relatives.

Talia works with buyers, sellers, developers, and renters all over the city—and particularly in Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Queens. In her nine years in the industry, she has compiled a substantial record of listings and sales that includes co-ops, condos, townhouses, and new developments at multiple price points. Her thoroughness and commitment distinguish her from typical agents, and her steady guidance has led to success and satisfaction for her clients.

Born and raised in Pennsylvania, Talia was recruited to run track at a state college and helped her team become state champions. After graduating, she moved to New York City and explored careers in fashion public relations, event planning, and hospitality.

Talia McKinney has been featured in numerous publications and tv programs including Million Dollar Listing NY, Pix News, Martha Stewart Living, The Mann Report, Bravo TV, Daily Mail and The Real Deal. She is also a Capstone Agent and mentor for, “Sell It Like Serhant.”

She has appeared as a public speaker locally and across the country as well as being a featured guest on many top podcasts.

Now an established presence in the real estate community, she was sought out to be a TEDx speaker and is the host of the exclusive LISTED show on Youtube called, “Tiny Spaces”.

When she isn’t running around Manhattan selling condos and co-ops or dashing to an afternoon townhouse showing in Brooklyn, Talia can be found volunteering at Achilles International, NY Cares, or the Boys and Girls Club.
She competes in triathlons and marathons—what better way to train for the next sprint to an open house?—and is also an avid world traveler, having been to over 47 countries.
