About

The key to Maurice’s success is an understanding that every client has different needs and desires, and has a broad range and detailed understanding of all of NYC real estate, Westchester County and the Greater Hudson Valley Community. “At the end of the day, I work with a client one-on-one, treating them as I would want to be treated, and giving them the honesty and friendship that they deserve from. I research all potential properties with those needs in mind, stay up-to-date on market developments, including the financial markets, to ensure that my clients are among the first to view a new listing.” With clients in throughout the NY region, Maurice has a deep understanding of many neighborhoods and communities, and is able to guide a client on exactly their real estate goals and needs.

Maurice appreciates that real estate involves more than just economic decisions – buying or selling, as well as renting a home is a big step in life, and must be done the right way. With this in mind, he is committed to opening the right doors to allow his clients to make the decisions that only they can make. Maurice’s attention to detail, keen negotiating skills and accessibility are vital components to achieving results. As an insider in the New York real estate market, Maurice’s business is completely referral based. “Listening to your client’s wishes and managing expectations that result in locating the perfect home, without the need to pressure, is my secret”, Maurice says. “It’s the philosophy I live and work by and the cornerstone to my business model”.
