Jack is also a member of New York State Realtors Association as well as a member of HANFRA, the Hamptons and North Fork Realtors Association.

Jack’s approach in his real estate business is to build relationships rather than just complete transactions. His objective is to assist sellers, buyers, landlords and renters however possible so that they each achieve their objectives. He strives to learn the likes and dislikes of his clients and customers; their attitudes about living spaces; and their thoughts about their present situation and future desires. He makes it a point to spend sufficient time and effort to accomplish his objectives for clients and customers alike.
