Claudia Lagalla Lic. Assoc. RE Broker

Ithaca's Highest Rated Agent


Professional. Kind. Warm. Honest. Intuitive. Creative. Innovative. A good listener and a skilled advocate at the negotiating table. This is how clients describe Claudia Lagalla.

In 272 Zillow reviews (and counting), clients have wholeheartedly recommended her, and expressed unreserved confidence. Those reviews combined with several hundred past closings provides absolute proof of Claudia's ability to skillfully advise and guide you. In the last several years she has assisted more buyers than any other Ithaca area agent (many first time buyers). Moreover, sellers have time and again expressed their delight with her dedication to their goals.

To what does she attribute her success and her clients' satisfaction? "I take my clients' goals to heart; it's my responsibility to help them achieve their goals while protecting them, and guiding them on what is for most the largest investment they will ever make. I commit myself to giving my all to every client."

A graduate of NYC H.S. of Music and Art, a degree in jewelry design from the FIT, an Alfred U BA in poli sci, and 20 years' experience in marketing at NYC's top investment banks, equips her with a wealth of experience. Past experience, unbridled drive, energy and enthusiasm are just part of what has contributed to her significant achievements on behalf of her clients. Add to that an innate talent that just can't be taught; an ability to understand and find ways to help people achieve their goals. "For me real estate is not sales – it's guidance; it's about understanding the needs of my clients, and providing them with good solid guidance and advice. I view my role as counselor, and trusted adviser."

In what remains of her time, Claudia enjoys social dancing of all kinds, from zydeco to swing, gardening, time with family, and her canine companions.

New to the area? Ithaca and its surrounding towns and counties are known for their abundant natural beauty, for a multitude of waterfalls tumbling into Cayuga Lake, state parks, music, theater, arts, farmers' markets, wineries, restaurants, for intellectual vigor, and youthful exuberance.

Ithaca has been ranked one of the best in several quality of life categories:

• America's number one emerging city

• Top college town in the U.S.

• One of the two most eco-friendly cities in the nation

• One of the five best places to buy a retirement home

• One of America's five best mountain biking towns

• America's most enlightened city and one of sixty best American Public Places.

No wonder you're considering moving here!
