Agent Credentials

Professional Specialty

I spent 50 years developing and managing my business, Elephant's Trunk in Mt. Kisco NY. Always putting the customer's needs first. I put my analytical and problem-solving skills to work for clients throughout Westchester, Putnam and Western Connecticut. My ability to combine an astute investor's eye, my passion for design and my joy for this business allows me to create optimal outcomes for buyers, sellers, and homeowners.

Personal

There is something really personal and quite special about helping people find their haven. As an inherent server my focus is on relationship building, becoming a trusted advisor for the clients I empower long after the transaction has closed; to provide creative, actionable guidance for clients, no matter their individual circumstances. I spent 50 years developing and managing Elephant's Trunk in Mt. Kisco NY. Through thriving times and fire (literally) I met the challenges head on without ever losing sight of putting our customer's needs first. I put my analytical and problem-solving skills to work for clients throughout Westchester, Putnam and Western Connecticut. My ability to combine an astute investor's eye, my passion for design and my joy for this business allows me to create optimal outcomes for buyers, sellers, and homeowners throughout the Hudson valley. I have chosen to see real estate as a craft, with each client, home and situation being unique. Therefore I combine my expertise and empathy to craft solutions ideally suited for each client's specific needs. By keeping a focus on continuing education, leadership proficiencies and technology I have developed many tools to approach each challenge differently. As a cancer survivor, I am a proponent of wellness from within and strive to feed my mind and body good stuff. My health challenges made me realize that balance in life is so important, hence making time for family, flying, golf and tennis. I try to model this in my business, taking on only as much as I can do well. There is a quote by an unknown author: 'Every job is a self-portrait of the person who does it. Autograph your work with excellence'.
