The real estate industry has certainly proven its efficacy with its high rate of return. It's an exciting industry that yet remains a maverick with alluring new opportunities for the well informed buyer or seller. With Brown Harris Stevens' global state of the art resources and the firms worldwide marketing relationship with Leading Real Estate Companies of the World a network of 550 firms in 55 countries with an annual sales volume exceeding $350 Billion, I am able to leverage my comprehensive knowledge of local and international real estate markets to help clients achieve outstanding results, whether selling or buying locally or across the globe. From a local perspective, living in Manhattan since 2000 has given me the opportunity to discover, on an intimate scale, the unique nuances of neighborhoods and buildings throughout the city and how the interplay of neighborhood, property and current market conditions effect the value of each clients property. Buyers and sellers benefit from this knowledge when making important decisions throughout the sales process. I invest a significant amount of time thoroughly researching properties on and off the market to ensure the perfect fit for buyers and to help sellers decide on a sales price that achieves the highest price the market will bear while closing on a timely basis. I am committed to maintaining an attentive and dedicated relationship with my clients that entails a honed understanding of their real estate needs and aesthetics so I never waste their time presenting inappropriate properties. Property Market Value can be significantly enhanced by making the correct improvements that maximize added value and facilitating buyers financing needs. I welcome the opportunity to share my personal relationships with New York's top interior designers, architects, floral designers, real estate attorney's, mortgage brokers and bankers; all of whom can facilitate the transaction process or transform a neglected property into a beautiful residence on schedule and on budget in the spirit of achieving a successful business investment rather than a vanity project. From an international perspective, I am an experienced resource for real estate investors in Latin and South America as well as Europe, who are exploring the marketplace for investments with relatively low risk and healthy returns. I can match your investment needs and goals with many appealing new real estate developments which constitute exactly these sort of opportunities. As a native of Buenos Aires, Argentina I speak fluent Spanish and Italian. I travel there several time a year to visit my family and get first-hand knowledge of the local real estate market. For enjoyment, I love spending time with my family, painting, horseback riding, tennis, antiquing, cooking and travelling to exotic locations.
