A Bit About Me

I've been handling sales transactions for 30+ years, first in the field of book publishing, then the music industry and now, for the past sixteen years, in New York's real estate industry.

My success at getting to a closing table has given me experience in a wide range of transactions for my buyers and sellers: new developments, investment condos, 1031 exchanges, first-time home buyers, second-home purchases, lower and middle-income housing co-ops, luxury townhouses, estate sales, bidding wars, best and finals - I've navigated all the possibilities!

In 2011, I opened Now Real Estate, LLC, an independent brokerage based on Manhattan's Upper West Side. Prior to that, I'd been the Vice President at Anita Fischer Realty, where I was instrumental in cultivating the team that sold a Tribeca townhouse for $24,000,000, establishing a record at that time for the highest price ever garnered in that neighborhood for a single-family home.

Another career highpoint has been working with Manhattan's Housing Preservation and Development Department to overturn a co-op declination, allowing a family to achieve their goal of purchasing a two-bedroom co-op in one of Harlem's premiere middle-income housing developments. The seller's attorney at the closing table told me he'd worked with HPD "for 30 years, and I've never once seen them acknowledge a math error like the one you pointed out that led them to overturn their decision and approve the sale." Felt great!

Potential clients should also know I'm a long-standing member of BNI (Business Networkers International). My weekly participation gives me a wealth of access to the best and brightest in the fields of mortgage banking, real estate law, architecture, financial planning, interior design and marketing. These connections give Now Real Estate's clients the confidence and knowledge that they, too, have access to the best resources to solve any challenge or maximize any opportunity they may currently face.
