Philip Hordijk

Philip Hordijk

CEO & Founder

While some have an international network, Philip Hordijk has built an international community. Seven languages. Four continents. A career that began in Europe at ING Real Estate took a formative turn in Buenos Aires, ultimately leading Philip to New York City, where he founded LEVEN Real Estate around authentic global fluency. What started as simply connecting international investors to New York real estate has since evolved into a multicultural boutique firm known for its extensive market knowledge, collaborative culture, and a client experience that feels both globally minded and deeply personal. Today, LEVEN’s footprint stretches from New York City and the Hamptons to South Florida, with more than $1.5B in cumulative sales. With a Master’s degree in Real Estate Finance from the University of Amsterdam, Philip now lives in Tribeca with his wife, Brazilian fashion designer Layana Aguilar, and their children. When he’s not working, he’s probably in an entirely different time zone—which is perfectly on brand.
