I hope you have had a great start to the New Year!  I’d like to share my gratitude with clients, colleagues, vendors, family, and friends who have helped make 2022 special, filled with many successes and great memories.

This year I launched the Defending the Deal White Paper, was nominated as a 2022 Notable Leader by Crain’s, and got to sweat it out, in person, with my Real Estate Warriors!  I am excited to invite you to my Defender of the Deal newsletter and look forward to featuring all of you as we look at the real estate industry from this colorful, new perspective.

Be safe & here's to a successful & healthy year ahead!
