Business Philosophy

My business philosophy is simple - give the best service, the best results and take all the stress out of the process of buying or selling a home for the client.

Education and Training

I have an AA in Merchandising from FIT and a BA in Liberal Arts from New York University. Additionally I have training in Interior Design and Staging.

Areas of Expertise

My extensive experience in working with both buyers and sellers has made me an expert negotiator and caring professional. I have an excellent success record in selling my listings and finding the right home for buyers. I am also also a skilled interior designer and home stager. These skills have helped my listings stand out from the competition and sell quicker with greater return on investment. I can take any home, stage it quickly and inexpensively and make it shine! There is nothing I won't do to ready a home for sale. I have polished silver, made beds and bought fresh flowers, just to name a few things! I take extreme pride in every home I market.

Most of all, I am committed to getting my clients the results they want and deserve!

Community Involvement

I am involved in my community and sit on several boards, including school and synagogue. I take an active approach to bettering the community I live in.

Personal Background

I am married and reside in Great Neck, NY with my husband and 2 boys ages 14 and 19. My sons are in college and Great Neck North High School. I have lived in Great Neck for about 14 years, having previously lived in Forest Hills, Queens. I have a very diverse career history, having worked for many years as an administrator and marketing manager for major corporations. I later pursued an interior design career working for a well known interior design firm in Manhattan and then independently. This diverse experience has led me to my ultimate career in real estate sales.

As an experienced agent and expert in my local market, I am an invaluable resource to my clients. Having worked both in marketing and design, I know how to creatively market a home and use all the state-of-the art tools available to me. In addition, my extensive experience working with buyers gives me an excellent perspective on the buyer mentality. This perspective on what buyers want has not only helped find my buyers the right home, but has proven to be a tremendous asset for my sellers by enabling me to successfully market and negotiate for the sale of their home.

Communities I Serve

Along with Great Neck, I serve all of Nassau County with an emphasis on the north shore of Long Island. I have also sold properties in Suffolk County and on the South Shore of Long Island and have worked extensively throughout Queens.

Testimonials

"Roberta recently sold my 4 bedroom home in Great Neck. She wisely advised me to put the house on the market at an unconventional time and used her interior design experience to completely stage my home, making it stand out from other homes in the area. She worked hard to get crowds of people in to see the house at weekly open houses and through her connections with other agents. Roberta negotiated to help me get a higher price for the house than I expected. What could have been a very difficult process wend smoothly because of Roberta's hard work, creativity and experience."

Lisa Levine, Former Great Neck Resident & School Nurse Great Neck North Middle School

"Roberta is a stellar, highly professional agent. She is hands-on, resourceful and always available. Her personable manner made working together a pleasure and her decorating skills enabled her to stage and sell our home soon after going on the market. With perseverance and dedication, she found our dream home and even made an unusual deal for a short-term rental in the interim. The ease of our deals was primarily due to Roberta's work ethic and I highly recommend her without hesitation. She will not rest until the job is complete!"

Dr. Barak & Mrs. Lisa Greenfield, Former Roslyn & Current Great Neck Residents

“Roberta is not only the consummate professional with a wide range of skills that ensure the customer is satisfied, she does everything with confidence and a smile. A few months ago, my wife and I attempted to sell a co-op apartment by ourselves and with the assistance of the managing agent but, after a couple of months, it was clear that all our efforts were for naught. We hired Roberta who let us know how her strategy, based on the specialized expertise and network she’s developed over years of successful brokerage work, will bring us our desired outcome sale. She took a wholistic approach and clearly understood the entire process from A-Z. We knew we were in good hands but we didn’t realize she was that good! After Roberta did all the preparatory work to list the apartment, on Sunday we had the open house. The very next day on Monday we received exactly the amount we were asking. No negotiations were necessary. A couple of other couples bid but they were offering less. Within a week, we had a contract with the downpayment and fairly quickly later we went to closing. Could it have been any easier, effective, or profitable for us? No way. Thank you for everything, Roberta!”
