I grew up in Forest Hills, NY, and moved to Long Island after I graduated High School. When it was time to leave the nest I immediately chose Manhattan because why not? Manhattan is awesome. Every neighborhood is its only little world and you feel like you have access to anything and everything 24/7/365.
I was actually on the legal side of the business for 4+ years before transitioning into brokerage full time. My unique skill set of critical and analytical thinking coupled with my passion for sales and negotiating made the transition into brokerage/sales a natural fit. Though I no longer act in a legal capacity for my real estate clients, they do get the benefit of my understanding of the process of buying/selling property from both sides of the closing table.
My specialty is working with expired listings, this is homes that did not sell for one reason or another with a previous broker. I like to break down what went wrong and formulate a customized plan of action so that we can get the clients. Home sold for the most amount of money in the least amount of time. I also focus my efforts on working with attorneys and executors on Estate sales. I chose to work in these two specific areas of practice because I recognized that was an opportunity to step in and offer true value in the transaction. There is a story behind why an apartment went on the market for sale and didn’t sell. I go into every meeting with an “I really want to know why” mindset. I have since found that working with experts is similar to working with estate sales. These apartments have a history to them. Someone typically lived in the apartment for a long time. They are usually not in the best shape and we have to find a way to reposition them to sell for the maximum price. The process is very similar.
Compass by and large offers expired sellers and estates the most value and so it only made sense that I work here to offer my clients the best possible experience. A few of the resources Compass has that no other company has:
