Confidence joins Warburg Realty after a long tenure at another notable Manhattan-based luxury real estate firm. She has had success over the years helping her clients buy and sell lofts, co-ops, condos, and townhouses at prices ranging from $130,000 to more than $10 million, in locations from TriBeCa to Harlem. She’s familiar with the ins and outs of selling apartments in newly constructed buildings and those of selling townhouses more than a century old. Confidence is as comfortable with SoHo’s special requirements for purchase as she is with the intricacies of buying a townhouse that was once an SRO. She has also sold townhouses in Brooklyn.
Before becoming a real estate broker, Confidence was an award-winning advertising copywriter, writing and helping produce TV commercials for Volkswagen, Northwest Airlines, Hertz, Jell-O and many other products. Before that, she was a cityside reporter for a small city daily in the Midwest.
Confidence’s success in real estate can be traced to her focus on two things: first, she never misses a chance to learn everything possible about the properties her clients are selling and those her customers are buying. She takes pride in becoming an expert on the buildings and their financial status, architecture, history, management, as well as the apartments themselves, that is, their sales and pricing history, repairs and renovations. Second, she never forgets that her business is based almost entirely on repeat clients and personal referrals. This has resulted in a number of long-term relationships and as many as six or more transactions with the same person. Confidence numbers many celebrities among her clients.
And yes, her parents named her Confidence. They liked the name, and now she does, too.
