Igor started in Real Estate Finance in 2003, and has been a top performer almost from the start. Initially focused on residential mortgages, Igor switched over to Commercial Mortgage Finance during the 2008 recession, and while co-managing a staff of 20 personnel, including Payroll and other day-to-day operations, was instrumental in the financing of many transactions based on his established relationships with conventional and portfolio lenders. With his years of experience and knowledge of the industry, he has developed a network of funding resources and relationships, and today can provide invaluable support in securing financing for almost any real estate transaction. Igor has worked alongside Russell to help engage and finance many Real Estate Development Projects in New York, and has also had the privilege of working with many Commercial Lenders in FL, PA, CT, CA, IL, IN, and OH. Igor is a graduate of Brooklyn College (BA. Accounting).
