Thanks! I'll get back to you shortly.


I entered the real estate market a little terrified in 2021 looking for my first piece of the American dream. Richard helped me navigate the purchase of a beautiful piece of land in the Catskills and went out of his way to advise, to be honest about conditions, the process, expectations and my status with every step of the process. He's probably set the bar impossibly high for any future transactions like this, but thats ok. I'll just stick with him! Very grateful for his guidance, patience and support in what I have now only heard can often be a struggle.
