I spent fifteen exciting years working as a talent and literary agent in film, television and theatre in Los Angeles and New York; the majority of which was spent at the renowned William Morris Agency. Attending such yearly events as the Academy Awards, Cannes Film Festival, and Sundance with my clients, I honed my skills in creative artist management and representation. I use many of these skills today in marketing and sales of noteworthy properties and in finding truly special homes for my clients - which is a creative process. My approach to representation is “client focused” devoting myself to their needs with acute attention to detail and fluid communication.
My natural ability to listen to clients’ needs and find exactly what they are looking for is certainly one of my biggest strengths, and greatest pleasures. I have a strong visual sense enabling me to look directly into the raw potential an environment has to offer. I also use these design skills to offer my select clients staging services for their apartments. By looking beneath the surface, I often discover treasures that others overlook.
As a listing agent, I offer gratis staging services for all of my listings, overseeing staging, touchups, decor, and have extensive experience with outdoor space. By the time one of my listings is publicly listed for sale, I’ve ensured that it shows its best - which is crucial for attracting buyers, brokers, and achieving the highest possible price in the shortest amount of time.
I had the honor of being selected “Rookie of the Year” by Brown Harris Stevens my first year at the firm, and in 2020 was ranked number 12 in New York City, number 35 in New York State, and Number 135 in the nation by the Wall Street Journal/REAL Trends for individual sales volume.
Ranked within the top 5% of all agents in my firm for gross commissions earned, I am fortunate to sell properties throughout Manhattan - in every neighborhood - selling within cooperatives on Fifth Avenue, Park Avenue and Central Park West, and the entire Downtown market, condominiums as well as new development - and have extensive experience in Brooklyn - happily working all over the city - always on my feet.
I am a proud member of the Board of Selfhelp - celebrating its 80th year - one of the largest and most respected not-for-profit human service agencies in NYC - the largest provider of comprehensive services to Holocaust survivors in North America.
In my free time I’m learning to play guitar, I practice yoga and meditation, go biking and sailing on Shelter Island with my family, and am a member of the Harmonie Club, est 1852. I have resided in a penthouse apartment for over 20 years on West 71st Street where I have raised my son Jack and am very active in my beloved community.
