Teamwork


Much of the work we do integrates with the work that you may have done – or may need to do – with other advisors. We regard teamwork as one of our most important values and functions.

We are happy to serve as the leader of your team, or as a valued utility player – whatever the situation requires. And if you need it, we are ready to put together a team for you, with referrals to a rich array of trusted colleagues who can help in any of these areas.

For REAL ESTATE MATTERS, this entails very active interaction with some or all of:

  • your broker, and the other party’s broker and attorney

  • your mortgage banker and their counsel

  • coop or condo management
