How did you get your start in real estate?

I majored in real estate and urban analysis and worked my way through college with a commercial real estate company.

How did you choose your brokerage?

I had the pleasure of meeting the principals of Douglas Elliman and they were infectious with their desire to grow their company throughout markets in which I had developed a skillset over the last 30 years.

What do you wish more people knew about working in real estate?

If you always do what’s best for your customer everyone wins, even if you have to leverage other agents.

What’s your top tip for freshly licensed brokers?

We are all intra-dependent in our industry.  My advice is to leverage and offer services to top respected associates in markets you would like to work. Work hard to become added value and I’m certain your business will grow.

What makes a good leader?

Being a positive role model by listening, caring and respecting our agents and profession.
