Associate Broker | Nearly 30 Years in NYC Residential Real Estate | Strategic Advisor to Sellers & Buyers | Design-Informed, Market-Driven Approach

With nearly thirty years of experience as a broker and investor, I provide discreet, strategic guidance to sellers and buyers navigating New York’s most competitive neighborhoods.

My work is grounded in long-standing relationships across the brokerage community and deep connections to professionals in design, architecture, and construction. Clients value my preparation, judgment, and disciplined approach, which allows them to move with clarity from the first conversation through closing.

My process is comprehensive and highly personal. I oversee every stage of the sale—from advising on pre-market improvements and staging to shaping a targeted marketing strategy and managing the entire transaction with care and precision. I focus on intelligent positioning, market-driven strategy, and a clear understanding of how to achieve the strongest outcome for every property.

A background in the arts informs my perspective. Before entering real estate, I spent twenty years as a professional photographer. That foundation gives me a refined eye for proportion, space, and presentation, which elevates the way each property is prepared and brought to market.

Over the course of my career, I’ve guided hundreds of buyers and sellers through multiple market cycles in Manhattan and Brooklyn. I’m known for calm, tactical problem-solving and for approaching each assignment with the discretion and focus required for high-level transactions.

At the core of my philosophy is a simple truth: the market sets value, and success comes from smart strategy, tailored preparation, and consistent execution.

Born in New York City, I studied at the University of Wisconsin–Madison before earning an MFA from Cranbrook Academy of Art. After many years as a Tribeca resident, I now live in Williamsburg and spend time in East Hampton with family and friends.
