Q: What inspired you to start your own agency?
A: My son and I were on a class trip to Ellis Island, and on that trip I remember being so moved by the stories of our ancestors who came to this country. These families were starting over, and flourished by building their own businesses. After a life changing event in 2009, I knew that starting my own company would allow the flexibility and freedom to raise my two beautiful children on my own. Following my dream turned out to be the best decision I ever made.
Q: How would you describe your selling style?
A: My approach to selling real estate is twofold. First, I am of the school that it is important to know your product and to gain as much information and knowledge about each property in order to convey and represent it properly. Second, when working with customers/buyers – it’s all about the relationship. I ask a lot of questions in order to understand as best as possible their needs and wants for purchasing a home. Uncovering what they love about the area, what they like to do while they are here, and what their needs are in comfort and affordability. It makes me happy to think that most of my customers become my friends, whom I stay in touch with long after their move to the Hamptons.
Q: What do you like to do for fun in the Hamptons – after selling real estate of course?
A: Anything I can do with my family. Depending upon the season, relaxing on the beach at my parents beach club with my children and close friends, walking on the beach with my Golden, Roxy, or enjoying a delicious meal at one of our local restaurants.
Q: What is the most challenging aspect of being a real estate agent?
A: The most challenging aspect of selling real estate is keeping a transaction moving along from offer to closing. Sometimes there are so many obstacles along the way that getting to the closing table seems like a small miracle. But I have to admit, the more challenging the project, the more I enjoy it. Every transaction is different and we learn from each experience.
Q: What sets Hamptons Realty Associates apart from the pack?
A: Our office operates on a “team approach” where we help and learn from each other. Each one of us brings different skills to the table to create a professional team. Everybody has different skills, and we are able to help develop them and help develop each other. I am so proud of our agents and how the camaraderie and trust exudes throughout our office.
