Agent's personal statement
I have been at Sotheby's International Realty for over 20 years. My performance has been consistently in the top percentile of all the brokers at Sotheby's International Realty, regardless of the swings in the marketplace. The Wall Street Journal ranked me as one of the top-grossing residential real estate brokers in America.
My real estate transactions have received wide coverage in the press, including The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Newsweek, The New York Post, New York Magazine, Crain's New York Business, The Real Deal and Vogue.
I specialize in the upper end of the market and have set numerous sales records. Significant sales include a cooperative penthouse on upper Fifth Avenue for $20,000,000, a Fifth Avenue condominium for $21,500,000, a Park Avenue duplex for $21,000,000, a Fifth Avenue cooperative for $20,000,000, and townhouse sales of $31,500,000 and $45,000,000. Additionally, I sold for $25,000,000 an apartment at The Pierre Hotel, a record for the building and a landmark price of over $8,000 per square foot. Most recently, I closed on an apartment for $36,663,000, which is the highest price ever paid for a cooperative on Park Avenue.
My clientele is quite varied and includes affluent New York families, the Wall Street/financial community, Europeans, corporations and a celebrity quotient. I'm known for working very hard, being extremely tenacious, creatively managing difficult deals, and have a reputation for being a good closer.
In the span of my real estate career, I have sold nearly a billion dollars of Manhattan's residential properties. I graduated from Amherst College with honors in Art History and English. Prior to my career in real estate, I worked in the art world, first at Christie's and then as Co-Director of a Madison Avenue art gallery.
