Nikolay and Yuliya Afanasyev are among New York City’s most accomplished real estate professionals. After building one of the top-performing teams at Keller Williams NYC, they launched CITY SPHERE Property Group to bring a fundamentally different approach to real estate in Manhattan and beyond. In 2025, their team ranked #16 in Manhattan by transaction sides and #32 in Manhattan by volume, according to the Wall Street Journal RealTrends rankings — a testament to the results they consistently deliver for clients.
A Brokerage Built Around Agent Success
CITY SPHERE was founded on a simple belief: when agents thrive, clients win. Unlike traditional brokerages that leave agents to figure things out on their own, CITY SPHERE provides every agent with dedicated administrative support, hands-on training, and a clear path to reaching their full potential. Most importantly, agents at CITY SPHERE receive leads — giving them a real foundation to build a sustainable, high-performing career from day one.
This agent-first model is backed by a partnership with Side, giving CITY SPHERE agents access to cutting-edge technology, career-building resources, and a national network of over 600 market-leading boutique real estate companies.
