Sima Levy As Cover Story Interview – September 2026 Magazine Edition

How do you introduce yourself?

I am Sima Levy, a New York-based luxury real estate advisor with Nest Seekers International, author, television host on The American Dream TV, certified health and life coach, motivational speaker, and proud mother of three.

My mother’s Moroccan heritage instilled in me a deep appreciation for family, faith, and hospitality.

My career spans luxury real estate, literature, media, and wellness. I specialize in prestigious New York properties and new developments and serve as a Premier Partner for Mandarin Oriental Residences, West Palm Beach.

My latest book, Butterfly Bites, reflects my belief that life’s greatest challenges can become the foundation for extraordinary transformation.

Struggle – What hardships have you gone through in life?

Losing my mother was one of the most profound experiences of my life. Her passing inspired me to search for answers about love, consciousness, and our connection with those who are no longer physically with us.

That journey became Butterfly Bites, a deeply personal exploration of quantum physics, psychology, spirituality, and science, offering readers practical tools to navigate grief, rediscover hope, and embrace life after loss.

Each chapter concludes with healing exercises designed to help readers transform pain into purpose.

My mother’s love continues to inspire everything I do.

“Love only changes form. It never truly goes away.”

What do people usually not know about you?

Beyond luxury real estate and television, I am deeply passionate about family, faith, education, and the arts.

Before entering real estate, I worked in education, including a surgical classroom environment at Cohen Children’s Medical Center, and served as a docent at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

My love of art inspired my earlier books, A Moment with Monet and A Day with Degas.

Although my professional life is associated with luxury, my greatest fulfillment comes from being a mother and knowing that my work can inspire others.

What sets you apart from others?

I bring together luxury real estate, media, literature, and wellness through a personalized approach to business.

With an Instagram audience exceeding 160,000 followers, I combine strategic marketing, storytelling, and digital exposure to connect exceptional properties with discerning buyers.

My background in wellness allows me to recognize that today’s luxury consumer seeks more than beautiful architecture. Health, privacy, convenience, and quality of life are equally important.

As an author and motivational speaker, I have also delivered corporate wellness programs for organizations including Zara.

I believe true success is measured by the value we create for others.

What are your upcoming major events?

Following the publication of Butterfly Bites and my recent Barnes & Noble author event in Manhasset, New York, I am expanding my literary appearances and corporate speaking engagements.

I am also continuing my luxury real estate work in New York while introducing clients to Mandarin Oriental Residences, West Palm Beach.

I recently launched a lifestyle and real estate concierge podcast connecting New York and South Florida, featuring Mandarin Oriental Residences, West Palm Beach, with conversations exploring luxury living, wellness, and entrepreneurship.

What expert advice would you like to give?

Never allow one chapter of your life to define your entire story.

Invest in your health, nurture meaningful relationships, and never stop pursuing your dreams.

In Butterfly Bites, I share my belief that healing does not mean forgetting those we love. It means learning to carry their love forward while embracing life again.

One of my favorite lessons is to replace “I have to” with “I get to.” Gratitude transforms our perspective.

And remember, reinvention has no age limit.

“You cannot always choose the chapters life writes for you, but you can choose how you turn the page.”
