Doug first met Mickey in 1983 when Mickey and his wife Brooke were bidding on one of Doug’s listings. “Mickey was actually quite miffed that I was asking a lot of questions thru his agent about his ability to qualify for a loan to close on the house: he decided to confront me directly.” That was 26 years and many transactions ago. He liked the way I approached the business and we both had a passion for golf. Fortunately, we had a knack for finding good real estate transactions and didn’t have to depend on golf to make a living.

Over the years Brooke and Mickey have bought or sold 7 personal residences with me. They have great taste and decided to make the move to real estate development. They have created 11 lots, and 6 spec homes in CT with a price range of $1.9 to $6.2 million. We have created a team that trusts each other and can execute quickly with expertise in local zoning, subdivision and building regulations.

In addition, Mickey has invested in multiple commercial projects with Doug in Stamford, Norwalk and Colorado.
