215 Milbank Closed today for $2.1M – which is the amount of the mortgage taken in 2008. The bank has it appraised for what was the original asking price $3.5 – so it appears that the buyer got a great value. They may considering trying to challenge the value in order to lower their taxes…

Sellers bought this 4 bedroom 3.2 bath 1.43 acre property in 2006 for $3.6M – I’m sure not thrilled with the sale, but having bought it in the frenzied 2005-2006 market they should be. It’s not great construction, in my opinion, but they added on, with the 3 car garage, creating perceived value. It is a bit off the beaten path yet not so far from town.
The art of the deal transcends all businesses, and more so in real estate than in many other professions. For the client, it's often an emotional purchase or sale, rather than a simple commodity or luxury item. I make it my mission to have each side come to terms with a transaction that works for everyone. It's not always easy, but good things in life usually take effort - something from which I've never shied.
Licensed since 2009 as a real estate sales agent in CT & NY, I often work with clients on the border of both areas.
With sales and distribution experience for luxury designer products, and watching/reacting to the markets, my acumen for sales was established. Achieving success and contributing to the growth of many global apparel designer brands, such as Giorgio Armani and Paul Smith for over 20 years, it was time for a change. I wanted to explore another passion that would keep me in one location rather than traveling the globe.
Now I have the best of both worlds, a successful business as a fulfilling personal life. My husband and I have lived in back country Greenwich since 2003, where we enjoy easy access to great biking, hiking and golf. We love to ski and that's usually where our travel takes us.
Life is good in Greenwich!
