Each neighborhood has its own rhythm. We listen first, then act.

How I work

No shortcuts. Just Queens real estate.

Buyer representation

I don’t just send listings—I dig into off-market deals in Long Island City and Astoria, and I’ll tell you when a building’s elevator hasn’t been serviced since 1998.

Seller marketing

I price to sell, not to sit. In Sunnyside and Woodside, that means staging that doesn’t scream ‘IKEA showroom’ and listings that hit the right feeds before the competition.

Market analysis

I track 62-block-by-62-block shifts in Queens pricing, not statewide trends. If a condo in Court Square drops 3% overnight, I’ll know before the Zillow alert.

Negotiation & closing

I don’t play nice with bad appraisals or last-minute contingencies. In Queens, that’s how you keep a deal from collapsing when the buyer’s lender ghosts you.
