About Russell
Born and raised in New York City, Russell attended the High School of Art & Design and then graduated from the New York Institute of Technology with a Bachelor of Architecture. He previously spent 11 years working in retail management, specializing in sales and customer service. His extensive experience within a customer-facing background has provided him with a certain level of professionalism that taught him to be not only a good listener, but very patient with people who have no knowledge of a product. This also provides Russsell with a certain set of skills that allow him to adapt to each client's unique wants and needs. Russell’s seven years of experience as a licensed real estate salesperson exclusively in NYC is complemented by his background and training in the field of architecture, as well as his personal interests in city planning and his own love for photography. Collectively, these all have afforded him a distinctive perception of the different neighborhood offerings in NYC. He specializes in townhouse, co-op and condominium sales throughout Manhattan, Brooklyn, The Bronx, and Queens and is a current and active member of The Real Estate Board of New York and the Residential Listing Service (RLS).
“The history of how some neighborhoods were developed affords me insight as to why some areas are more dense and vibrant, and why others have a more ‘suburban feel’ even though they are located in the heart of the city. My mission is to match clients with an apartment, building and community that fits their day-to-day and overall lifestyle needs.”
