I’m originally from Cape Town, South Africa. The attraction of the “American Dream” that everyone can own a home drives me to make that a reality not only for myself but for others. I especially enjoy assisting those people who have income challenges, so one of my focuses is on workforce housing and affordable housing solutions.At Arbor, our mission is to provide our clients with the most personalized and customized service available in the commercial real estate industries as a leading and diversified financial partner and loan servicer.
