Born In

Born in New York City, I spent my formative years living in Okinawa, Germany, and Belgium before returning to the United States. After completing high school and university in Utah, I returned to Manhattan, bringing a global perspective to my work.

Interests

Photography is a true passion, and I'm an avid member of Manhattan’s major museums. I find joy in the New York City Ballet, a touch of ABT, and all things Lincoln Center and Carnegie Hall. I walk the city. I love capturing its energy through my lens. When time allows, I travel to visit family in Germany and take adventures from Munich, finding balance and inspiration along the way.

School

After a decade living in Asia and Europe, I arrived in Grantsville, a small town of 5,000 in Utah’s western desert. As an outsider at Grantsville High School, the transition wasn’t easy—until I found my place in student government. I went on to win landslide elections as Junior Class President and later as Student Body President. After graduation, I traded the desert for the mountains and headed to the University of Utah.

Live In

Each time I move, I purposely choose a new neighborhood to experience all that New York City has to offer. I've called Tribeca, Midtown East, and the Upper East Side home—and now I hang my hat in Midtown West, near Carnegie Hall. Living by Carnegie Hall and working near Lincoln Center truly is music to my ears.

Inspiration

The mothers in my life—the strong women who nurtured and loved me as a child in Utah—continue to inspire me. Their voices, along with those I turn to when navigating the challenges of our business and life in New York City, have been a constant source of strength. After 34 years, my husband remains someone I deeply respect and adore. And my closest friend of 18 years has been a guiding light, offering support, wisdom, and joy.

Favorite Quote

"Children will not remember you for the material things you provided, but for the feeling that you cherished them. Wisdom is not a product of schooling, but of the lifelong attempt to acquire it."

Passions

I’m passionate about family, friends, and spending summers in Southampton, where I keep the yard and house thriving. I genuinely enjoy the labor—it grounds me and keeps my head clear.

“Robert was introduced to us by friends in Greenwich, Connecticut, and we’re so grateful he was. He was incredibly thorough and took the time to educate us on the complexities of purchasing a cooperative—something we hadn’t fully appreciated at the start. His expertise guided us through a challenging board process, especially when we faced delays from an unresponsive broker and managing agent. Robert was our lifeline and the reason we were ultimately successful.”

“My wife and I were introduced to Robert in 2000. Six moves later, he’s become more than just our real estate adviser—he’s a friend. His close relationship with my wife and son brings us all genuine joy. During our most recent sale, we faced enormous challenges with our building and a large condo in need of renovation. After several failed attempts to sell, Robert suggested dividing the apartment. Thanks to his insight, we secured two quick sales and ended up in a far better position than if we had stayed on the market with one oversized home.”

Thankfully, we had that dinner four months later. Later, when we purchased and eventually sold a condominium near the United Nations as we prepared to move to California, Robert once again delivered—on both ends of the transaction.”

“After graduating from Harvard and moving to Brooklyn, I was complaining to a close family friend that we just couldn’t secure a home. She scolded us in the best way: ‘Why don’t you call Robert?’ She had worked with Robert—along with her brother—on multiple purchases and sales in top condominiums for over 20 years, and she immediately put me in touch. When he visited a home we had chosen and gave us a candid assessment—more cons than pros—we knew we needed his guidance. We lost four homes to all-cash buyers and were ready to give up. Then Robert called from an open house in Brooklyn Heights and said, ‘I’m standing in your new living room.’ We lost that one too, again to an all-cash offer—but Robert had made such an impression on the listing agent that when that deal fell through, he got the call. We jumped, and we got the home. Four months later, our new sofa arrived, six months after closing, our baby girl—arrived.”
