A home is the foundation of everything else.

The ADG Approach

I buy real estate with my own capital. That changes how I price yours.

For years I’ve bought property as a principal — reading title, auditing risk, and pricing assets where being wrong could have cost me a lot of money. I bring that same discipline to your home: likely the largest asset you’ll ever own or sell. Behind it sits twenty-one years of engineering leadership across financial services and technology — the judgment I’ve used to make the right calls on my own properties, now working for my clients across Bergen, Essex, and Hudson Counties.

My path to real estate wasn’t typical.

It started with my own first home purchase — chaotic, uncoordinated, and nearly derailed at closing by typos in the deed. So I spent the next many years in the most legally rigorous corner of the market: tax liens and tax deeds. Reading chain of title. Tracking redemption timelines. Bidding at county auctions with my own capital, where a mistake is expensive and there’s no one to talk the property up.

What that buys you: I’ll tell you when a property is priced above what the comparables support — including when it’s yours. I’ll show you the analysis rather than the conclusion. And I’ll walk a deal that doesn’t hold up, because the worst outcome isn’t losing a deal — it’s winning a bad one.

I’ve lived in New Jersey for years and raised my own children here. I know these towns as a resident, not just as a market.
