Kevelyn Guzman: Leading with Purpose in NYC Real Estate

Meet Kevelyn Guzman: Leading with Purpose in NYC Real Estate | Real Estate Excellence Podcast

Welcome to Episode 295 of the Real Estate Excellence Podcast. I’m your host, Tracy Hayes.

In this episode, I had the pleasure of sitting down with someone who is redefining what it means to lead in the real estate world. Kevelyn Guzman isn’t just running a brokerage—she’s shaping a culture. As Regional Vice President at Coldwell Banker Warburg, Kevelyn is transforming how agents are supported, trained, and led in one of the most competitive markets in the country: Manhattan.

Why Kevelyn Guzman Stands Out in NYC Real Estate

In the high-pressure world of New York City real estate, Kevelyn leads with a mindset that flips the traditional model: she treats her agents as her clients. Instead of one-size-fits-all systems, she meets each agent where they are—breaking down personalities, understanding individual goals, and crafting unique strategies to help them excel.

From new agents still finding their rhythm to seasoned producers looking to level up, Kevelyn helps each one maximize their abilities and develop a personal brand that works.

She also played a critical role in leading Warburg Realty through its 2021 acquisition by Coldwell Banker, preserving the legacy while driving modernization and innovation. Her leadership combines culture-building with high-level execution.

How Kevelyn Helps Buyers and Sellers Indirectly

While Kevelyn doesn’t work directly with buyers and sellers, her leadership directly affects their experience. She ensures her agents are equipped with the tools, confidence, and customized marketing to serve clients at the highest level.

In a market like Manhattan, where every transaction is high-stakes, her commitment to coaching, technology, and agent-brand alignment gives clients a competitive edge.

Why Agents Thrive Under Kevelyn’s Leadership

• She builds custom marketing plans based on agent strengths

• She encourages agents to think like CEOs, not just salespeople

• She promotes a fun, supportive culture grounded in real-world business acumen

• She leads initiatives like What Moves Her to uplift women in real estate

Her philosophy? Empower people to do their best work, and they’ll exceed expectations.

Host Insight

What impressed me most about Kevelyn was her ability to lead with both heart and structure. She’s a true leader of leaders. Whether she’s coaching an agent through a slump or navigating organizational change, she’s always focused on helping others rise.
