Questions
& Answers
How did you get into real estate?
As a young girl growing up in Manhattan, I wanted to be a Congresswoman... until I worked on Capitol Hill. Then I wanted to be a vegetable farmer... until I worked on a farm my freshman summer in college. Next, I decided to become a modern dancer... until I had to pay my own rent. And so, I went to business school where I naturally gravitated towards entrepreneurs. At that time, real estate was the most entrepreneurial endeavor I knew, and so I looked for a real estate job when I graduated.
Why did you start Park Madison Partners?
With small children, I found that the best way to balance my professional life with being a wife and a mom was to work for myself. There were ten years when my children were young and I needed the flexibility that being your own boss afforded, but I really missed having partners. And so, as soon as my family life allowed, I started Park Madison Partners with the goal of creating a group of partners who could serve our clients in unique and effective ways.
