Need an Upper West Side real estate agent?
I was born on the Upper West Side of Manhattan in 1990, before my parents moved my brothers and me to the suburbs. After college, my goal was always to return to New York City—but at the time, North Brooklyn, especially Williamsburg, felt like the place to be. Friends were moving there, the energy was undeniable, and I quickly made Brooklyn home.
Like many New Yorkers, I developed a friendly Brooklyn-versus-Manhattan rivalry with friends who settled across the river. Weekends often turned into negotiations: would we meet in Williamsburg, Bushwick, or Manhattan? That back-and-forth deepened my connection to Brooklyn and gave me a real sense of neighborhood pride.
I spent several years living throughout North Brooklyn—first in southeast Williamsburg near the Montrose L stop, then in Bushwick near both the L and JMZ lines, before eventually returning to north Williamsburg. Those years weren’t just about where I lived; they were foundational to my career as a New York City real estate agent. Working closely with buyers, sellers, and landlords in Brooklyn helped me develop strong market instincts, pricing strategies, and negotiation skills.
In 2022, my personal and professional worlds began to shift. I met my now-fiancée, Elizabeth, who was living in a one-bedroom apartment on the Upper West Side near 72nd Street. What some people jokingly called a “long-distance relationship” (two train lines!) quickly became a routine commute between Brooklyn and the Upper West Side.
That commute—often involving the 2 or 3 train, the L train, and occasionally a three-train transfer thanks to MTA construction—gave me a renewed appreciation for Manhattan living, particularly the Upper West Side. Despite the logistics, the relationship never felt distant, and after about a year and a half, it was clear we were ready to build a life together.
In June 2025, we moved into an apartment on the Upper West Side. Living here feels like coming full circle. Walking along Broadway between 72nd and 86th Street—with its wide avenues, classic architecture, and distinctly residential feel—offers a very different rhythm than Brooklyn, yet one that feels deeply familiar. Today, I still commute to Brooklyn regularly for work, but I’m proud to call the Upper West Side home.
That same year, I helped buyers secure their dream home on the Upper West Side, applying nearly a decade of experience gained in Brooklyn real estate. I’ve worked extensively with NYC buyers, sellers, and landlords, and I now bring that expertise to Upper West Side condos, co-ops, rental properties, and residential buildings.
If you’re looking for an Upper West Side real estate agent who combines deep neighborhood knowledge with proven experience across New York City, I’d love to help. Whether you’re selling, buying, or renting on the Upper West Side—or anywhere in NYC—I bring a thoughtful, strategic approach shaped by years of hands-on experience and a genuine connection to the neighborhoods I serve.
