I hired Haley to sell my legacy building right before the pandemic began. I am a retired NYPD cop and have successfully been in the restaurant business most of my life. As a cop, I learned to read people which I use in my private life every day. Haley was one of the hardest working young professionals I have come across in her generation. Her fearlessness, immaculate attention to detail and ability to stomach all the hits we encountered during the transaction was admirable. My building fell out of hard contract in the height of COVID when 70% of my income was based off my three restaurants. Haley found another 1031 exchange buyer who signed a hard contract and closed within the same day for $17,000,000. Recently, my wife and I retired to Florida in 2021 and bought a house on the water. I thank Haley for her initial call and convincing manner – she allowed me to see options I never knew existed. There are very few young women like her in the industry and I look forward to seeing all she accomplishes with her new company. She’s the only person I would ever use and feel lucky to have met her.”
