How do you contribute to your community or your profession?
Commercial real estate is inherently tied to the community. We represent developers and property owners on Long Island who are working to support the community through their projects. By working to reduce the property taxes, we are able to help make many of these projects feasible which helps the community grow and prosper. Additionally, as a board member of the Long Island Real Estate Group (LIREG) we support the community through fundraising and volunteer work. Annually we donate our proceeds to a charitable real estate project in need on Long Island. I’m also proud to be a board member of the Safe Center Long Island which supports victims of domestic violence and child abuse through numerous services ranging from counseling to housing of victims.
