Meet Lexington Residential

Founded by Russell Pollack, Lexington Residential brings together a thoughtful, strategic approach to New York City real estate with a strong understanding of design, value, and the nuances that define the city’s neighborhoods. Working alongside Aliona Slipenskaya, the team is centered on personalized service, market knowledge, and clear, informed guidance for buyers, sellers, renters, and investors throughout New York City.

Russell brings a creative and analytical perspective to the team, shaped by a lifelong connection to real estate and a professional background spanning music, design, and luxury residential sales. Working primarily across Brooklyn and Lower Manhattan, he combines an understanding of pricing, build quality, and design with a highly individualized approach to each client and transaction. Recognized as a Top 10 agent at Platinum Forbes Global Properties in both 2024 and 2025, Russell also represented the buyer in the $5.7 million sale that set the record for the highest-priced condominium sale in Greenpoint (Brooklyn).

Aliona complements the team with experience spanning real estate investment, residential renovations, operations, and luxury design. With an MBA and a background in executive leadership, she approaches real estate through both a strategic and relationship-driven lens. Her experience evaluating properties for their potential and long-term value allows her to guide clients through leasing, purchasing, and investment decisions with careful attention to both the financial and design considerations of a property.

Together, Russell and Aliona combine complementary strengths in market analysis, negotiation, design, investment strategy, and client service. Their knowledge extends across Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens, allowing Lexington Residential to serve a diverse range of clients while maintaining a highly personalized approach. Whether navigating a first purchase, marketing a property for sale, identifying an investment opportunity, or finding the right rental, the team prioritizes transparency, responsiveness, and a clear understanding of each client’s goals.

At Lexington Residential, the focus extends beyond the transaction itself. Russell and Aliona aim to build lasting relationships by providing thoughtful advice, attentive service, and the perspective clients need to make confident real estate decisions in one of the world’s most dynamic markets.
