What project, deal or transaction was a "game changer" in the advancement of your career?
Back in the late 1990's I was one of the first real estate professionals to open and manage a real estate branch office in Harlem for one of the city's largest real estate firms.
I hired the brokers and closed many deals that earned me a reputation as a residential specialist who knew the Harlem marketplace. Today I live and work in Harlem where I was recently hired to head the new residential division at Giscombe Realty Group, one of Harlem's oldest commercial real estate firms. I am active in the community where I volunteer at the American Legion Post #398 helping returning veterans find housing.
What do you consider the most successful way to increase referrals?
Working as a residential broker for over 15 years, I have found that the best way is to treat all clients and potential customers with integrity and respect.
The referrals will come from them! Follow-up is just as important. Even if you do not close a deal with a client the first time around, I always stay in touch over the coming months or even years for when they may need a broker. Even if they don't hire you, often times they also refer me to other family members or friends.
