So what is the connection between the luxury hotel industry and the real estate business, you may ask! As a veteran of many years in Sales & Marketing with Four Seasons' landmark hotel in New York - The Pierre - I believe I know. They are both service industries. The Pierre was a great training ground for me. I learned the importance of really knowing my product and the value of asking the right questions in order to fulfill the discerning customer's needs. I also learned that exceeding expectations is what it's all about. I strongly relate to the philosophy and culture at the Corcoran Group. Its cornerstone is service - and the reason I joined the firm. I love New York City - I wouldn't live anywhere else. It's where my actor husband and I have lived for twenty years. I remember our experience in buying an apartment, and I know how important the rapport with a broker is in the total process. Is it any surprise that we successfully worked with two wonderful brokers who are now my colleagues at The Corcoran Group? I was born, raised and educated in the quaint suburban Hudson River town of Sleepy Hollow. A graduate of Marymount College with a major in theatre, I trained at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art and worked professionally in theatres in Chicago, Seattle and Denver (where I met my husband). We are both avid supporters of the arts, so New York City is "a wonderful town" for us. I know it will be for you too, and I look forward to assisting you in your exciting search.
