Since joining Halstead in their first office on Manhattan's east side 20 years ago, I feel privileged to be associated with a most reputable and progressive company. Now I'm based in the Riverdale office where I am known for my expertise of the area. Through the years, my mentor has been Diane Ramirez, the founding partner and president of Halstead Property. I feel that being a broker is a most rewarding profession, as it allows me to help people with their real estate needs and also to give back to the community where I live. This is the greatest privilege. Susan Seidner Chasky, GRI, SRES, ABR is a SVP associate broker at Halstead Property Riverdale, LLC, Riverdale, N.Y.
