About Art

My goal is to provide you with resources, information, and perhaps a little advice that will make all the difference for you when youre buying or selling your next home. If at any point, you have questions or would like to discuss your particular needs, please feel free to reach out. I love hearing from my neighbors; their stories, aspirations, concerns, and wishes when it comes to our community and local real estate. Im happy to share my experiences and expertise in the hopes that it may be of value to you.My family and I have lived here all our lives. I grew up in St. James, attended St. Anthonys HS and Stony Brook University. I married my college sweetheart Ann, and we owned our first home in Selden until our growing family needed more space. In 1987 we moved to Mount Sinai with our three girls, who against all my wishes, went ahead and grew up anyway: now to be fabulous young women with families of their own.Professionally, I bring 35 years as a professional designer, home builder, renovator, and realtor to the table. I know homes in and out, but more importantly, I understand that a home is so much more than its physical elements and amenities. Its a place where we build our lives. Its where we create cherished, life-long memories that we hold so dearly in our hearts. Its the sanctuary and comfort we crave at the end of the day, and its the pride and joy of something weve created, it speaks of who we are.I believe that as a realtor its my job to uniquely represent each one of my clients in the transfer of what many would consider their most valuable cherished asset. I see it as my job to build the right plan to guide you through the process, to protect you from any pitfalls along the way, and negotiate on your behalf. Every client is unique in their hopes and dreams. Whether youre buying or selling, I pledge to utilize all my past experiences, my talents and tools at hand to help deliver on your dream.My mission has always been to make a difference in someones life today, and I keep that as a primary focus each and every day. Over the years Ive done it through clients homes I designed and built, Ive done it through my church and through charitable organizations such as Habitat For Humanity, Rebuilding Together, The Make A Wish Foundation, and others.My mission has become my legacy, and my legacy is that collection of memories created and cherished in the homes of my clients; the newlyweds first dinner, babys first steps, family game nights, holiday traditions, birthday celebrations, weddings, anniversaries, and all the little moments that will tie them all together while under that roof.My mission is to serve in ways that will deliver long, long after the transaction has been forgotten.
