Co-Owners &
Principal Brokers
With more than six decades of combined real estate experience, Co-Owners Philip C. Laffey and Mark T. Laffey have helped shape one of Long Island’s most respected and successful real estate organizations. Beginning their careers as sales professionals, both advanced through leadership roles, managing offices, developing strategic partnerships, expanding affiliated businesses, and creating income-producing real estate divisions.
Their complementary leadership styles — balancing operations, growth, recruiting, retention, technology, and innovation — have established a hands-on management approach that continues to drive the company’s success.

The Laffey story began more than 50 years ago when Tom Laffey founded his first independently owned real estate company. Since then, Laffey Real Estate has played a significant role in redefining the real estate experience across Long Island’s North Shore. By fostering a culture of collaboration, the company has created an environment where every client and every listing benefits from the collective expertise and resources of the entire organization.
Today, Laffey Real Estate remains privately owned and operated by Philip and Mark Laffey. Together with President Donnamarie Chaimanis and an experienced leadership team, they continue to lead the firm as a recognized force in the marketing and sale of residential real estate throughout Queens, Nassau, and Suffolk Counties.
As the North Shore’s leading luxury brokerage, Laffey Real Estate connects sellers with affluent buyers locally, nationally, and around the globe. Through its affiliation with Leading Real Estate Companies of the World® and Luxury Portfolio International®, the firm offers clients unparalleled global exposure and relocation services while maintaining the personalized attention of a locally owned company.
Beyond residential real estate, Laffey has strategically expanded its services to meet the evolving needs of the marketplace. The firm’s specialized divisions include Relocation Services, New Development Marketing and Sales, and the highly successful Faith Forward Division, which has facilitated the sale of more than 60 properties of worship throughout the region.
More than five decades after its founding, Laffey Real Estate continues to honor its heritage while embracing innovation, remaining committed to delivering exceptional results, cultivating meaningful relationships, and setting the standard for excellence across Long Island and beyond.
“Our legacy is not simply measured by the homes we sell, but by the trust we earn, the communities we serve, and the relationships that last for generations.”
