Introduction
My focus
My practice is focused on guiding clients through every stage of real estate transactions, including acquisitions, dispositions, joint ventures, leasing, and financing. I bring extensive experience across all asset classes, with a particular emphasis on multifamily and affordable housing projects. By combining strategic insight with a deep understanding of complex market dynamics, I help clients achieve their objectives and successfully navigate the changes of today’s real estate and affordable housing landscapes.
Looking ahead
The need for safe and affordable housing continues to grow nationwide, and many major cities are making an unprecedented commitment to the development and preservation of affordable housing. As the landscape evolves, meeting these needs requires creativity, adaptability, and strong collaboration to bring new developments to life. I am excited to work closely with our clients to navigate the shifting market conditions and complexities of these transactions, helping them achieve their goals in this vital area.
