I take pride in the level of service I provide my clients. I am extremely resourceful and have fostered a sizable online presence with my creative marketing. When I am not closing a deal, I enjoy taking care of my dog Milo and cat Frankie as well as reading, biking along the Hudson, and exploring new places. Whether buying, selling, or investing, I would love to help you on your journey!

Given the booming market conditions when I decided to put my coop on the market, I believed selling on my own would be quick and easy. My opinion of brokers had been, up until I met Annette, not a positive one.

Given the booming market conditions when I decided to put my coop on the market, I believed selling on my own would be quick and easy. My opinion of brokers had been, up until I met Annette, not a positive one. After months of open houses and weeding through all of the emails and phone calls on my own, I decided to list with Annette. She sold it within 1 week with multiple offers.

I met Annette at an open house and was so impressed with her knowledge, I decided to use her to sell my own apartment. Letting go after 30 years was tough but she understood the emotional journey and communicated with me every day until she found the perfect buyer. Her professionalism and selling style sets her apart from other agents and I highly recommend her.
