As a Garden City NY Realtor with 31+ years of experience, my best advice to buyers is to get pre-approved for a mortgage before you begin house hunting. In today’s market, well-prepared buyers stand out. I also recommend working with an agent who knows the local neighborhoods inside and out. In Garden City, East Meadow, and surrounding Nassau County communities, each block can have its own unique value. By focusing on location, long-term potential, and negotiating strategically, you can secure not just a house — but the right home for your future.

For sellers in Garden City and greater Nassau County, presentation and pricing are everything. My advice: hire a Realtor who combines local market knowledge with proven marketing strategies. I guide clients through staging, professional photography, and competitive pricing so their property shines online and in person. With more than $50 million in sales, I know how to attract qualified buyers and negotiate top dollar. Sellers who trust the process and position their home correctly often achieve faster closings and higher net results.

Over three decades, I’ve worked with a wide range of clients — from first-time buyers and growing families to luxury sellers and seasoned investors. Many of my clients are relocating into Garden City, East Meadow, West Hempstead, and Syosset because of the excellent schools and community amenities. I also help downsizers who want to maximize their equity while transitioning into the next chapter of life. No matter the client, my goal is always the same: personalized guidance and a successful outcome.

One of my favorite recent transactions involved a young family relocating from Queens to Garden City. They were nervous about the competitive market and had lost out on several offers before working with me. Using my knowledge of local trends and strong negotiation skills, I was able to position their offer so it stood out. We secured the home under favorable terms, and today they’re happily settled in one of Garden City’s most desirable neighborhoods. Helping families achieve their dream is why I love being a Realtor.

I began my real estate career more than 31 years ago after moving from Haiti to the U.S. in 1969 and experiencing firsthand how meaningful homeownership can be. That experience fueled my desire to help others achieve the same dream. Over the years, I’ve built my career in Garden City, East Meadow, and Nassau County, becoming a trusted local advisor through dedication, persistence, and care for my clients.

Yes. In addition to decades of hands-on experience, I’ve completed advanced real estate training through Keller Williams Realty of Greater Nassau. My background includes training in negotiations, property valuation, and marketing strategies designed to give clients a competitive edge. Combined with my deep local knowledge of Garden City and surrounding Long Island communities, this education ensures every client benefits from both professional expertise and real-world results.
