Profiles:

I practiced real estate law exclusively for 15 years and represent investors, wholesalers, rehabbers, developers and lenders in the acquisition, financing and disposition of residential and commercial real estate. My expertise is in structuring these types of transactions to maximize profit, while minimizing exposure. We are at the forefront of New York real estate and are no stranger to more exotic transactions involving flips, "subject to", assignment/contract vendee, double close & land trust transactions.

I also engage in loss mitigation including short sales and loan modifications. We had a similar situation in the late 90s when there was no such thing as a "Short Sale Specialist Certification". We negotiated short sales then and we saw this coming in 2006.

My partner has been actively engaged in foreclosure defense, representing distressed home owners in court. We examine the loan file as well as the assignment chain for any defects. Securitization audits have become our weapon of choice in the battle against the banks and have greatly increased our success rate in securing a favorable outcome.

My other niche is social media marketing & networking. I love technology and espouse all it has to offer a busy professional like myself. I have the innate ability to put create an appealing online presence on all the major social media networks to create relationships with a high ROI.

Experience

I have extensive transactional experience. My strength lies in my ability to structure a real estate transaction, from start to finish, to maximize profit and minimize risk.

As a real estate law and investment professional, I am on top of the current laws & regulations surrounding such transactions. I also have a wealth of knowledge when it comes to FHA loans, FHA underwriting guidelines & the 203k loans.

I have been engaging in loss mitigation since the 1990s and are fully familiar with not only the process, but the mindset of the Banks. We use a variety of tools at our disposal to persuade the Bank to issue a favorable outcome including court intervention, if necessary.
