Meet The Team

We have sold over $1.6 billion in NYC real estate and have over 37 years experience

Great Things are Achieved by a Series of Small Things

A team always outperforms an individual. With 37 years of experience selling luxury real estate in New York City, what drives us most is making the process of buying and selling real estate both a pleasurable and profitable one for our clients. As a team, we strive every day to elevate the level of service that we give to our clients. No matter who the client is or what their budget, our goal is to provide an exceptional and consistent experience from start to finish.

The result is that we exceed most people’s expectations of a real estate professional. Whether you are a buyer or a seller we have learned it is never just a house, an apartment or a zip code. It’s more than hardwood floors and pre-war details. It’s where you come to life, are inspired, and raise your family, or it is one of your biggest investments. It’s the first and best expression of who you are as an individual, a couple, or a family.

We never forget what a home represents to our clients personally and financially and it is with this responsibility that we act every step of the way. We have found the only way to achieve these high standards is to only hire people who truly enjoy what they do and want to share their knowledge with you. Get to know us below.
