A LITTLE ABOUT ME
I am a native Long Island resident, having lived in Stony Brook and Garden City before relocating to the East End of Long Island. Prior to entering the mortgage industry, I owned and operated a successful manufacturers' representative firm, which took me to Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and Sandy Springs, Georgia, before returning to Garden City. During this time, I bought and sold three primary residences out of state and an additional four homes over the past 16 years on Long Island.
Upon returning to Long Island and being on the buyer side of those real estate transactions, my passion for real estate deepened. From our home in Garden City to our custom-built residence in Manorville, NY, and later to Aquebogue, NY, where we lived for 12 years before downsizing to a condominium in Riverhead, NY, each move furthered my understanding and appreciation of the industry. Both Aquebogue and Riverhead have provided ideal locations, offering convenient access to my prior roles with Wells Fargo and Valley National Bank in Southampton, as well as to my clients on both the North and South Forks.
I have built a successful career as a Home Loan Consultant and Mortgage Loan Officer since 2002, working with prominent financial institutions including Ulster Savings Bank, Wells Fargo, and Valley National Bank, as well as with leading mortgage broker companies. As the mortgage market continues to shift, the brokerage model is experiencing significant growth and will continue to do so in the coming years. In response to the changes within the banking industry in mid-2023, I transitioned from Valley National Bank back to the mortgage broker sector and am now a fully licensed independent Mortgage Loan Officer (MLO). I am excited to share the advantages of the broker channel with my clients and referral partners, offering them more personalized solutions and competitive options.
