As Senior Sales Manager for Compass Darien and New Canaan, Joel brings a rare combination of lived experience, strategic insight, and human-centered leadership to one of the most competitive real estate markets in the country. Having built his own career as a top-performing NYC agent before moving into management, he understands firsthand the pressures, complexities, and opportunities agents navigate every day.
Joel believes leadership begins with clarity—clarity of purpose, clarity of communication, and clarity of systems. His work is rooted in helping agents build businesses that are not only productive, but sustainable. Through thoughtful coaching and operational strategy, he guides teams in designing the structures, processes, and communication rhythms that elevate performance and reduce friction.
Agents trust Joel because he shows up as a partner, not a spectator. He listens deeply, asks the questions that uncover blind spots, and brings a strategic lens to business planning, deal execution, and team alignment. His approach blends empathy with rigor, helping agents make decisions with confidence, lead with intention, and operate with greater simplicity and impact.
What sets Joel apart is not just his market knowledge or management experience—it’s his belief that people perform at their best when they feel supported, challenged, and seen. He creates an environment where ambition is encouraged, ideas are nurtured, and success is shared. Under his leadership, agents gain more than direction; they gain the systems and clarity needed to grow into the future version of their business.
Joel’s mission is simple: to help agents become leaders of their own outcomes, equipped with the tools, mindset, and strategy to thrive in any market.
