Judy Markowitz, CRS, GRI, SRES

Judy is a first generation American born to Hungarian parents in 1962. As an "apartment girl" growing up in Lefrak City, Queens, and later moving to Flushing, then Connecticut, she never lived in a house, or even visited one, until she started selling them in 1987! Tired of feeling like a tailor without clothes, she bought her first home in 1988 and gained a real passion for helping others acquire and sell real estate as a means of reaching their personal goals.

Currently, she lives in Flushing North with her husband, Gary, and their 10 year old daughter, Jolie. Judy loves reading books on architecture, design, and (of course) marketing and the economy. Mostly, she loves reading books to Jolie.
