Tell us one of your client success stories or an interesting moment in your profession.
My most rewarding client story may sound like a cliche but it is of my 75 year old client from Hungary whom I had not seen in almost 10 years and I ran into them at a grocery store. They hugged and kissed me and told me how every day they spend in their residence they always thank me for selling it to them because they enjoy it so much...this is what makes me love my career.
What is your best characteristic?
My ability to relate to people whether they are young or old, poor, middle class, or very affluent...there is always something to discover in each person that has shaped them and it is always profoundly enriching.
Who or what inspires you the most?
I am inspired by people who face incredible odds in their lives and rise above it all to accomplish great things.
What is the best advice you ever received?
To really listen beyond the words that you hear and be very observant otherwise you will miss some of the most important things in life, business or otherwise.
If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?
My first choice is always South Florida for its diversity, international flavor & the constant growth and change in the landscape of the community. My vacation home would be anywhere in the Amalfi coast of Italy
