THE COMPLEXITIES OF COMMERCIAL WORK

Although he handles all aspects of residential. commercial and mortgage lending transactions, the greater part of his work involves representing real estate developers. "The broader issues of commercial transactions, plus the critical attention to details, makes for very interesting work. Today, there is no such thing as a simple closing. For all its difficulties, putting together a complex deal on short notice can be exhilarating. If that level of excitement were absent for any given time, 1 would miss it."

ON FIRST-TIME HOME BUYERS

"For new home buyers, a closing is usually the biggest transaction of their lives. This is a monumental event and they have every right to be both nervous and excited. No matter how commonplace it might seem to us, this is their day and their moment, and we work to remember that. I make the time to assure every client that their file is on top of the list and not buried and getting cursory attention."

"For me, the challenge is maintaining the courage of my convictions, having the self-confidence to make tough decisions and stick by them regardless of the pace and the complexity of the work. It means staying alert and focused."
