Agent Profile

Broker of the Year - East Side Office | 2015, 2017
Producers Council - Top 2% of the company
Diamond Club Member - ($10M+)
It is often said, ‘find what you love to do, and you will never work a day in your life’. I feel blessed and grateful that my passion in life is something that allows me to fulfill other people’s dreams by finding them their perfect home. The icing on the cake is that I get to do it in one of the most exciting cities in the world, New York City.
I have continually been recognized as a top producer in my office, was once again named the number one agent for gross commissions, am a member of the prestigious Producer’s Council placing me in the top 2% company-wide, as well as Halstead's Diamond Club which is for agents that have sold properties of $10M or more.
With over 15 years of experience I have worked with first time home buyers as well as seasoned buyers. I have helped my clients sell and purchase condos, co-ops, and lofts throughout Manhattan, Brooklyn and the Bronx. What sets me apart is that I treat each and every transaction as if it was my own money. Furthermore, when you hire me, you are getting me and not an assistant. I am present and available to you each and every step of the way seven days a week.
I am also adept at working with foreign clients having been the exclusive real estate agent for over a decade for several relocation companies working with such prestigious firms as L’Oreal, BNP Paribas Bank, Fortis Bank, JWT Advertising, KPMG, and Anheuser Busch, to name a few.
Additionally, I have represented landlords as the exclusive agent for numerous rental buildings, as well as individual investors.What I love most about what I do, is that no day is ever the same. I have gotten to meet and work with fun and interesting people from all over the world. From students, to families, to CEO’s, to celebrities there is no greater joy for me than to walk around this great city looking at some of the most amazing properties anywhere until we find you the right one. In addition to getting you the best deal, my goal is to make the process fun and stress free. I mean come on we’re looking at real estate in New York City! How fun is that!!
Born in San Juan, Puerto Rico, I was raised in Buffalo, New York and then Maplewood, New Jersey from the time I was 8 years old. I graduated Rutgers University with a Liberal Arts degree. Though I have always been drawn to sales, I took a detour when I moved to Miami, Florida and pursued both acting and producing in film and television in the Hispanic market. Being fluent in Spanish I worked in commercials, soap operas, a sitcom, as well as produced a Spanish language cooking show with Latin celebrities and personalities. That experience led me back to New York City where I became a freelance entertainment reporter for the Spanish language network Univision, where I interviewed actors, producers, and directors in both Spanish and English.
Eventually my true calling came beckoning and I found myself answering an ad for an assistant to a top producer at a real estate firm. I have never looked back. When I am not working, I love to read, watch films, and travel. I am a bit of a beach junkie, so any destination with sun, ocean and sand makes me happy. I have been in New York City since 2002, and though I have helped my clients sell and purchase their homes in almost every neighborhood, my family and I reside and call the Upper West Side home.
I am proud to say that all of my business has been referral based. I look forward to working with you.

Se dice, ‘si encuentras lo que amas hacer, nunca trabajaras un dia en tu vida’. Me siento bendecido y agradecido que mi pasion es algo que me permite satisfacer los suenos de otros en encontrarles su hogar perfecto. Aun mejor es que logro hacerlo en una de las ciudades mas facinantes del mundo, Nueva York.

Con mas de 15 anos de experiencia he trabajado con compradores novatos al igual veteranos. He vendido y comprado condos, co-ops, y lofts por todo Manhattan, Brooklyn, y el Bronx. Lo que me distingue es que trato cada transaccion como si fuera mi propio dinero. Ademas, cuando me contratas a mi, me consigues a mi y no un asistente. Estoy presente y a tu disposicion en cada paso de la transaccion siete dias a la semana.
Tambien soy adepto a trabajar con clientes del extranjero ya que fui el agente exclusivo por mas de una decada para varias companias de reubicacion trabajando con empresas de prestigio como L’Oreal, BNP Paribas Bank, Fortis Bank, JWT Advertising, KPMG, y Anheuser Busch, entre otras.
Adicionalmente, he representado varios propietarios como el agente exclusivo de sus edificios de alquiler, al igual a inversionistas individuales.Lo que mas amo de mi trabajo, es que no hay dia igual. He conseguido conocer y trabajar con gente divertida e interesante de muchas partes del mundo. Desde estudiantes, a familias, a ejecutivos, y celebridades , para mi no hay mayor alegria que poder caminar por esta gran ciudad viendo propiedades extraordinarias hasta que encontremos la mejor para ti. Ademas de consequirte el mejor acuerdo, mi meta es crear un atmosfera divertida y sin estres. Digo vamos, estamos viendo propiedades en Nueva York! Que divertido es, no?!!
Nacido en San Juan, Puerto Rico, fui criado en Buffalo, New York, y luego Maplewood, New Jersey desde que tenia 8 anos de edad. Me gradue de la Universdad de Rutgers con una licenciatura en artes liberales. Aunque siempre me han atraido las ventas, publicidad y hoteles, tome un desvio cuando me mude a Miami, Florida y segui una carrera en actuacion y produccion en peliculas y television en el mercado hispano. Siendo fluente en espanol, trabaje en comerciales, telenovelas, comedias, asi como produje un programa de cocina con celebridades y personalidades del mundo Latino. La experiencia me llevo de regreso a Nueva York donde trabaje como reportero de entretenimiento independiente entrevistando actores, productores, y directores, en ingles y espanol, para la cadena hispana Univision. Eventualmente mi verdara vocacion me fue llamando y me encontre contestando una advertencia para ser un asistente de unagente superior en una empresa de bienes raices. Nunca he mirado atras. Cuando no estoy trabajando, me encanta leer, ver peliculas, y viajar. Soy adicto a la playa, asi que cualquier destino con sol, mar y arena me hace feliz. He vivido en Nueva York desde el 2002, y aunque he ayudado a mis clientes vender y comprar sus hogares en casi cada barrio, donde mi familia y yo residimos y llamamos casa es el Upper West Side.
Me enorgullese decir que todo mi negocio ha sido a base de referencias. Espero con interes trabjar con usted.

One of the joys of buying a home, apart from the gratification of being a homeowner, is that you get to personalize it and make it your own. You get to be creative.

In the acting world there is the old adage, ‘there are no small parts, only small actors’. I feel the same concept can be applied with real estate listings. There are no bad listings, only challenged listings in need of a solution.

When you find yourself in a buyer’s market, meaning that buyers have an advantage on sellers, it is incumbent on us as real estate agents when representing a seller to try and minimize that advantage as best we can.
