Lifelong New Yorker, I came of age in Chelsea during the city's defining transformation years (1990-2002), witnessing firsthand how neighborhoods evolve, markets shift, and value gets created. That early education in reading urban change became the foundation for everything I do now. After 26 years as a professional artist, I see homes the way buyers actually experience them—through emotion, light, space, and energy. But I also spent 8 years as a trader analyzing financial markets and have successfully flipped properties of my own, which means I can break down cap rates, cash-on-cash returns, and investment thesis with the precision your wealth manager uses—because I use the same analysis on my own deals. This combination is rare: I can walk a CEO through IRR projections on a multifamily conversion, then help a creative director understand why a pre-war co-op captures the vibe they're chasing. My clients have included award-winning actresses, internationally recognized artists, acclaimed filmmakers, major real estate developers, and hedge fund principals—diverse portfolios that require equal parts discretion, market intelligence, and aesthetic sensibility. I specialize in luxury properties but work just as hard on standard listings. I'm deeply investor-focused and market-forward, yet I never lose sight of the emotional and aesthetic elements that make a house feel like home. Access to off-market listings, deep knowledge of financial markets, and an artist's eye for design and possibility—this is how I serve clients who want both the numbers and the narrative to make sense. I've worn many hats, mastered many trades, and one thing has remained constant: New York City. This is where I belong, and helping others find their place in it is what I do best.
