Lara Raifman of Woodbury Joins Homes By Mara Realty As Newest Agent

Syosset, NY/Woodbury, NY; March 11, 2015 –Homes By Mara Realty of Syosset, NY is pleased to welcome Lara Raifman of Woodbury, NY as its newest licensed salesperson. New to the real estate sector, Raifman, who joins Homes By Mara after years working within the financial sector before taking some time off to raise her two children, is excited to re-enter the workforce with a new focus on serving today’s home buyers and sellers.

“Today’s service industry often lacks personal touch, especially amid today’s typically impersonal social media, which is just that – media,” says Raifman. “Handholding, guidance and thoughtfulness are critically important in any sales transaction. In working with Homes By Mara and its “boutique” atmosphere, I am able to provide that much needed personalized level of attention as I assist people with making one of the most important decisions of their lives – to buy or sell their home!”

Homes By Mara Owner and President Mara Navaretta is delighted to have Raifman among her team of agents. “Lara is a fine complement to our operation and clients,” comments Navaretta. “As a former financial sector professional, she not only understands the importance of professionalism, customer service and working within deadlines but also a strong financial perspective, which brings even greater benefit to our clients.”

Before her sabbatical in 2010, Raifman worked at MD Sass Investors Services in New York City as a portfolio administrator and eventually a senior fund accountant manager. Her professional career also includes serving as an investment administrator/fund accountant with Cohen and Steers Capital Management in New York City. She holds a Bachelor’s of Science in Finance from Syracuse University as well as a dual Master of Business Administration in Finance/Investments and Marketing from Baruch College.
