Originally from Cairo, Egypt, Sylvie grew up in Paris, then came to New York in 1962. Residing in Great Neck with her then-husband, she raised a beautiful son and pursued studies in French Literature at CW Post, from where she graduated. Sylvie applied her creativity to the art of interior design, which broadened her vision in regard to seeing potential in a property no matter what the size or price range. She subsequently tutored in French and enjoyed helping others hone their language skills.

Prior to moving to Palm Beach, Sylvie lived at 898 Park Avenue in Manhattan for 12 years. She worked in jewelry design, and also obtained her New York real estate license. Heading south in 1999, Sylvie served as assistant manager for an upscale French couture boutique - Altona, soon deciding to maximize her sales, interpersonal, merchandising and design talents in the field of real estate. She is a generous individual who finds deep fulfillment in giving to others, as evidenced by her charitable donations to The Hebrew House, where she kept and cared for her mother with Alzheimers. Sylvie also supports other Jewish charities and gives of her time to such worthwhile causes as the United Way. Her favorite type of recreation includes running and playing golf.
