Real estate is personal, and a good introduction matters more than a good search filter. Over the years I've built real relationships with advisors across the Engel & Völkers network — not names in a directory, people I can actually call.

That means if a friend is buying a condo in Miami, selling a place in Italy, or relocating a family to somewhere neither of us has ever sold a home, I don't have to guess who to send them to. I already know. And I stay in the loop until they're taken care of.

This isn't a referral hotline. It's the same thing I'd do for my own family — find the right person, brief them properly, and make sure whoever I introduce is treated the way I'd want to be treated.
