While founding Zollinger & Associates and being named #1 broker in West Chelsea both in 2011 and 2013 for number and volume of condo deals were major accomplishments, I am proudest of my work while at Related Sales on One Madison, Superior Ink, Astor Place and my home, the Caledonia. I recently made the move to Stribling & Associates not only to focus on my resale business but to work with developers from pitch to close. My first week at the company we made a successful pitch for an upcoming development that will be very exciting.
To what do you attribute your success in real estate? What distinguishes you from your competitors? This August I celebrate 16 years in residential real estate. I have been very fortunate from the start, working every aspect of the deal from buyers, sellers and developers to coops, condos and new development, as well as having run my own real estate firm for three years. My success comes from a strong work ethic and a willingness to go the extra mile and not be afraid of long hours. I started as an assistant to two top brokers who instilled in me a strong foundation not only in the art of the deal but in the ethics as well.
Are there any causes you’re very passionate about? From the moment I viewed the model of the High Line at the MOMA exhibit in early 2006, I became a major supporter. It embodies the true definition of recycle/reuse, and

If money were no object, what property for sale in your area would you buy . . . and why? If money were no object, hands down it would be the main penthouse residence of the upcoming Zaha Hadid project
it is remarkable how in today’s world where nothing gets accomplished due to politics, this amazing park was created and has become a world-class destination.
