Prior to that, Bechrakis Serhant worked as a maritime lawyer until 2016 and was manager of Legal Claims and Specific Cargo Claims at MSC, USA. Her husband isn’t the only one in the family who is in real estate either — Bechrakis Serhant grew up in a family of real estate investors, according to a statement.
“Growing up in a real estate family between New York and Athens, I have always had a passion for the business,” Bechrakis Serhant said in a statement. “When it came to choosing a brokerage and reviewing my options, and after weighing them all carefully, I ultimately chose SERHANT. Of course, that decision had absolutely nothing to do with my husband — it’s simply the best, and most innovative firm to build a career in real estate today.”
