What honor, achievement or recognition means the most to you and why? Recently, I was asked to appear on “Chronicle” as Greater Boston’s real estate expert. The recognition was quite an honor, not only because I was asked, but because my PR firm didn’t pitch for the opportunity. Rather, the producer called me having been referred by a leading Boston real estate reporter. I’ve worked in various aspects of real estate for over 20 years, always with a commitment to providing the best service possible to our clients while being supported by the most knowledgeable team of professionals. I am thankful to have earned the referral along with the subsequent accolades from the “Chronicle” feature and look forward to contributing on many more transformative developments in Boston.
