Custom Brokers

As an ex-expatriate herself, Barbara Konings is an expert in understanding the wants and needs of professionals relocating to the city from abroad. Originally from the Netherlands, Barbara moved to New York seven years ago and quickly found herself immersed in the vibrant art world here, as well as in Los Angeles. Fluent in Dutch, German, and French, and conversant in Spanish and Italian, Barbara is able to move between tongues with ease.  Barbara first joined Custom Brokers as a client, renting a loft in SoHo, and later using Suzanne to find her dream loft in the Bowery. As the business is always moving, so is she,  and you can see her riding her Dutch bike through the streets of Lower Manhattan, as if she were in Amsterdam.
