Honored to Serve: Reflections on Becoming the 63rd President of the Staten Island Board of Realtors

There are moments in life when the path you’ve walked—every late night, every handshake, every lesson—suddenly comes into focus. Being inducted as the 63rd President of the Staten Island Board of Realtors is one of those moments for me. I’m deeply honored, and as I reflect on this new chapter, I want to share what this milestone means for both myself and our vibrant real estate community.

Recently, the Staten Island Advance featured my induction in their news article (read it here), and seeing my journey highlighted in such a respected publication was both humbling and energizing. It’s a reminder that our work as realtors is about more than transactions—it’s about building trust, strengthening neighborhoods, and shaping the future of Staten Island one home at a time.

Looking Back: A Journey of Growth

My career in real estate began with a simple goal: to help people find a place they could truly call home. Over the years, I’ve been fortunate to work alongside dedicated professionals and serve clients who have become friends. Each step—whether a challenge or a triumph—has prepared me for this leadership role. I carry forward the lessons learned from mentors and colleagues, and I’m grateful for the support of my family and community.

Leading with Vision: What’s Ahead

As President, my vision is to foster innovation, inclusivity, and collaboration within our Board. The real estate landscape is evolving, and it’s our responsibility to adapt while maintaining the highest standards of integrity. I’m committed to advocating for homeowners, supporting our agents, and making Staten Island an even better place to live and work. Together, we can embrace new technologies, champion fair housing, and give back to the neighborhoods that have given us so much.

Celebrating Community and Looking Forward

This honor isn’t just mine—it belongs to everyone who believes in the power of community. I look forward to working with my fellow Board members, industry partners, and residents to make a lasting impact. Thank you to the Staten Island Advance for sharing this story, and thank you to everyone who has been part of my journey. Here’s to a bright future for Staten Island real estate!
