Sharing knowledge and expertise: 

I thrive on actively sharing my knowledge and expertise regarding the auction method of marketing properties with others, including potential clients, realtors, lawyers, and anyone interested in this innovative approach. Since every real estate transaction is unique, we pride ourselves on offering personalized advice and solutions. Our entire team takes the time to understand the specific needs of each client, ensuring that our strategies align with their goals. This hands-on approach not only maximizes the success of each auction but also builds trust and confidence with clients.

Best advice for new leaders: “You only have one reputation. It takes a lifetime to build and one poor decision to destroy.”

Giving Back: Each year, Maltz Auctions proudly participates in the HIA-LI Trade Show & Conference, Long Island’s largest B2B trade show. This annual event is not just a staple in our calendar, but a pivotal opportunity for growth, networking, and community involvement. It is a melting pot of opportunities, providing us the chance to showcase our offerings, learn from leaders of other local industries, and form invaluable connections. Our presence at the event underscores our commitment to the business community of Long Island.

Who was/is your role model and/or leadership mentor? I’m fortunate to share that my father, David, was my mentor. I was raised at his knee.
