Seen on HGTV. I am a born and raised New Yorker. I live, eat, sleep and breathe NYC real estate. My husband can attest.
I have worked with both sellers and buyers in all kinds of NYC buildings鈥rom luxury pre-wars to brownstones to high-rise condos. I was a theatre major in college and this gave me the training to be a chameleon and understand every type of buyer and seller. I understand the emotional stress, and try to make the process a joyful one, regardless of the hurdles. My job is never the same on any given day because each person is different鈥�.and, a great real estate agent should know that their job is to keep everyone happy and stress-free. I also think agents forget that we operate in a 鈥渘o harm, no foul鈥� zone. The seller has the right to get the highest price, and the buyer has the right to try to pay the lowest. It鈥檚 my job to keep reminding everyone that these are the rules of engagement鈥t鈥檚 business even though it鈥檚 also very personal.
One of my 鈥渢ricks of the trade鈥� is to always have specialists on hand, whether an interior decorator, stager, attorney or a mortgage broker. I consider myself the connector of everything real estate and lifestyle related. I connect those dots like nobody鈥檚 business! And, this benefits everyone with whom I work.
In NYC we have a special 鈥渁nimal鈥� called the cooperative. In fact, approximately 70% of our purchasable real estate is in coops. You not only have to find the apartment of your dreams, but then you have to meet a committee of potential new neighbors from the building鈥�.after they have reviewed everything about you, but your blood type鈥nd, wait to see if they like you enough to allow you to close on the apartment. Talk about stressful! Luckily, I鈥檓 an expert at identifying those buyers who will 鈥減ass鈥� the dreaded coop Board and keeping everyone calm throughout the process鈥�.which can take 90 days after you鈥檝e signed the contract of sale!
I call myself a seller鈥檚 "last marriage.鈥� What I mean by that is I鈥檓 an expert at selling apartments that didn鈥檛 sell with other brokers. I swoop in as the second or third broker and manage to get the job done. When I come into the mix I am their last broker, as I always get the job done for them.
Lastly, I am the most positive real estate broker you鈥檒l ever find. My co-workers, customers and clients can attest to this. My two favorite expressions are: 鈥淓verything is great! It's all going to work out, 鈥漚nd" Easy breezy!鈥�
From Wall Street to Harlem, I have sold everywhere. I don鈥檛 do this job only for the money, but in great part for the joy of finding someone a new home or helping someone sell theirs. I listen, I care and I really want to make my clients and customers happy鈥ight sound like Pollyanna, but it鈥檚 true!
