Why do I love real estate?
Because when I came to New York in 1983, my mother and I lived in a shelter. When she finally got the chance to move into an apartment in Washington Heights, we ended up in an HPD building that was basically a crack house.
I was only 8 years old, helping my mom clean up crack vials and roaches just so we could make it feel like home.
Never did I imagine I would one day own a home — and now help others achieve that same goal.
The American Dream is not over.
You just need the right lender, the right realtor, guidance, and some savings. Maybe a house feels out of reach right now, but there are still paths to homeownership through co-ops, condos, and programs many people don’t even know exist.
For those scared of interest rates, remember: the only constant in life is change. Interest rates will change, and so will your goals, income, and opportunities.
Don’t give up on homeownership.
Text me. I’ll help show you the way.
