I have built a career on my ability to drive asset performance and to negotiate with tenants, owners and vendors to achieve necessary and desirable outcomes. My ability to negotiate on behalf of landlords has maximized renewal efforts, secured above-market terms and created significant value for owners. Since joining Equity in 2013, I have restructured property management, improved leasing/occupancy performance at key properties and added additional quality agents to the brokerage team. I bring a powerful force of will and personality to each situation and consistently produces results for the benefit of clients and teammates.Prior to joining Equity I operated a 1.2 million square foot investment portfolio, handling all aspects of asset management and operations, eventually presiding over disposition of the assets. With responsibility for both operations and leasing for eight years, I served as a Portfolio Manager for Lightstone Group, with diverse interests in retail, office buildings, corporate real estate, industrial flex, and residential assets. In this position I closed lease deals as large as 120,000 square feet (Aetna), and 168,000 square feet (Crown Cork & Seal). Other career experience includes serving as Director of Property Management and Commercial Leasing (Kushner Companies), and ten years as Vice President of Commercial Property Management for The Berger Group in New Jersey.I am active in BOMA, ICSC and NAIOP and am fluent in Spanish. I manage Equity’s brokerage operations in the southeastern US and provide total oversight of property management and asset management for the firm.
