Sometimes the most compelling stories begin with courage, the kind it takes for a 13-year-old to leave everything familiar behind and start fresh in a new country. For Dalia Elison, that journey from Iran to the United States just before the revolution would eventually lead her to become one of the North Shore’s most trusted real estate professionals. Her story is not just about a career; it’s about resilience, adaptation, and the pursuit of a dream in a land of opportunities. After arriving in America, Dalia’s academic achievements came early and impressively. She was able to skip the 9th and 10th grade, start college at age 16, and graduate by age 20 with both a bachelor’s degree in computer science and a master’s in psychology. These accomplishments were stepping stones that prepared her for her future in real estate.

Dalia worked in finance for many years, but transitioned to real estate after being driven by

something deeper than career ambition- instead, utilizing her natural empathy and resilience to help others navigate one of life’s biggest decisions. The combination of her educational background provides a unique ability to approach each transaction with a balance of logic and empathy, ensuring that her clients feel supported and understood throughout the process. What sets Dalia apart isn’t just her impressive track record; it’s her understanding that behind every transaction is a family making a life-changing decision. Her own journey, from a young immigrant building a new life, to a mother raising three children in the community she’s called home for two decades- Old Westbury- that truly shaped her understanding of what makes a community special.

“For the past 20 years, I’ve been proud to call Old Westbury home. It’s where I’ve raised my

three wonderful children,” Dalia reflects. “What I love most about living in Old Westbury is how

peaceful it feels. From the moment you drive through the neighborhood, there’s a feeling of

calm. The homes are surrounded by trees and open space. There’s a quiet beauty to it, like a

breath of fresh air away from all the noise.”

This deep connection to the area gives her unique insight into what families are looking for

when they’re ready to plant roots in our neighborhood. Her personal journey of raising a family in Old Westbury has given her a profound appreciation for the community’s values and aspirations. She understands the importance of finding not just a house, but a home where memories are made and futures are built.

Dalia’s results speak for themselves. With over $500 million in sales volume and recognition as

a persistent top producer since 2014, she’s built her reputation on something more valuable

than numbers: trust. As one long-time investor puts it, “Dalia is a woman of high moral integrity, exceptional character, and very honest.” Her clients know that they can rely on her for honest advice and unwavering support, whether they’re buying their first home, selling, or investing in luxury properties.

Dalia specializes in luxury real estate, new construction, and serves both local and international buyers. In a business often driven by quick transactions, she has built lasting relationships based on the simple principle that everyone deserves honest guidance during what can be an overwhelming process. For our neighbors looking to buy, sell, or invest in Old Westbury and beyond, her combination of global expertise and compassion makes all the difference. Her clients are not just transactions; they are part of a community that she cares deeply about, and she is dedicated to helping them achieve their real estate goals with confidence and peace of mind.
