What is your favorite Philadelphia neighborhood and why?

Old City is a favorite among Philadelphians for its rich history, cobblestone streets, and preserved buildings. It’s a vibrant neighborhood with a thriving arts scene, diverse dining options, and close proximity to iconic landmarks like Independence Hall. Old City seamlessly blends the past with the present, offering a dynamic and captivating experience for visitors and locals alike.

What do you love about being in real estate?

I’m thankful for the chance to assist clients in achieving their homeownership or investment goals. Building relationships and helping clients find their perfect properties brings me satisfaction, inspired by my parents’ 25+ years in the field. Realizing the rewarding nature of this profession, coupled with its potential for growth, fuels my ambition and entrepreneurial spirit.

 

What is the one thing any new resident should know before moving to Philadelphia?

Philadelphia boasts vibrant neighborhoods, iconic landmarks, and thriving arts and culinary scenes, fostering a strong sense of community. The city’s passion for sports, music, and the arts is palpable. Understanding the grid system and public transportation eases navigation. Speaking of transportation, be wary of the Parking Authority (PPA)—Philly’s vigilant enforcer. Whether parking or maneuvering, caution is key to avoid its watchful eye.

If you were entertaining an out of town guest who has never been to Philadelphia before, what restaurant would you take them to first?

I’d take them to Victor Café in South Philly. This former speakeasy oozes nostalgia with its vintage decor and live opera performances by the wait staff (don’t eat while they make their rounds and perform). They serve classic Italian dishes like homemade pasta and veal Parmigiana, giving guests a taste of the city’s vibrant culinary culture. It’s a unique and memorable dining experience that showcases Philly’s deep-rooted Italian roots.

 
 

When you’re not assisting your clients, what do you do in your spare time?

In my free time, I enjoy staying active outdoors. You’ll often find me playing basketball, hiking, or fishing. I also love traveling, flying my drone, and spending time with family. Catch me at Phillies or Eagles tailgates, or unwinding at the beach or camping to reconnect with nature when I need a break from the city.
