During this 10-year role, he acquired an in-depth knowledge of the new construction process and the local condominium real estate market. He was able to utilize his love for working with people, coordinating multiple sub-contractor teams to ensure that tight deadlines were met. He now applies these finely-honed organizational skills to his client relationships. Furthermore, his time spent on construction projects in different neighborhoods has given him a unique insight into the city's wonderfully diverse properties and demographics.
