“I’ve worked with Greg and his team on more than 70 bankruptcy and foreclosure deals totaling nearly $1 billion and they are relentless in their pursuit of top dollar. Over the past decade, time and again, I have seen him sell deals at prices higher than anyone expected. Greg has become the go-to broker for me and much of the legal community. Having appeared in front of almost all of the federal bankruptcy judges in the Southern and Eastern Districts, he and his work are well known to them. Greg’s expertise is unmatched.” – Paul Rubin, Managing Principal, Rubin LLC.

Recent goal and impact:

We set out to become the top firm in New York for distressed commercial real estate, with a focus on bankruptcies, foreclosures, loan sales, and restructurings. With a strategic approach and consistent execution, we reached it. Today, we’re proud to be ranked #1 in New York and among the top 3 nationwide. The impact has been transformative — our brand is stronger, our client base broader, and our role in the market firmly established as the trusted partner for complex distressed transactions. We’re grateful that both our visibility and deal volume are at an all-time high.

Sharing knowledge and expertise:

I regularly share insights through industry panels, webinars, podcasts, and speaking engagements focused on distressed real estate. I carve out time to sit with team members, including associates and interns, to debrief after key meetings or calls, breaking down strategies, terminology, and context. I also contribute to articles in leading publications. Whether guiding clients or collaborating with peers, I believe knowledge-sharing strengthens both our firm and the wider real estate community.
