First, a little bit about me: I was born in France and speak, read and write French. I have excellent written and oral communication skills. I am detail oriented, courteous, discreet and professional in manner and appearance. I am able to work comfortably either independently or within a team. I have the ability to quickly grasp “the big picture” in a situation and respond accordingly when necessary. I have hired, managed, trained and motivated employees in a team environment to achieve sales or production goals. I typically work with high net worth individuals regarding real estate acquisitions as well as property management type tasks that occur afterwards. As a result, I realize the necessity for impeccable service performed in a timely, sensitive and thoughtful manner. I regularly work with attorneys, management companies and co-op boards. As a result, I am familiar with contract law, purchase and service agreements, leases and coordinating with building contractors on real estate related transactions. My computer skills include familiarity with Microsoft Word, Excel and Outlook.

My employment goals are to find a position in a real estate related field that allows me to utilize the work skills I have spent many years refining. I enjoy learning new things, meeting new people, solving problems and overcoming challenges.
