Sharps began his real estate career working as a residential broker for Prudential Rand Realty (now Better Homes and Gardens Rand Realty.) After a successful four-year stint with Rand Realty, he joined Rand Commercial Services. He holds memberships in a number of professional organizations, including the Westchester County Board of Realtors, Westchester-Putnam Multiple Listing Service and the National Association of Realtors.

Damiani has been a licensed real estate agent since 1978. He specializes in residential relocation, and has extensive experience in commercial and investment properties and in buyer and seller representation. He owned and operated Damiani Realtors in Rockland County for 17 years, and is past-president of the Rockland County Board of Realtors. Damiani is a NYS certified real estate instructor. Mucilli was born and raised in Yonkers and recently graduated from Manhattan College with a bachelor's degree in Business Administration and a specialization in Marketing. He has been involved in sales since age 16 and, leveraging the power of the Internet, created a website for his family's automotive business to advertise to a broader market. As a Yonkers native, Mucilli is very familiar with the neighborhoods, demographics and zoning of the city and its environs, and specializes in buying and selling investment properties in southern Westchester. Rand Commercial Services, formerly affiliated with the Prudential Real Estate Network, has re-launched as an independent commercial real estate brokerage that will serve the Greater New York area. Rand Commercial Services has 25 agents in Orange, Rockland and Westchester counties, and will now also serve New York City, northern New Jersey and Connecticut.
