He put Brooklyn in his rear-view mirror and never looked back.

Now he’s helping others make a difference on a daily basis. Meet Frank Altese.

Frank Altese was barely 20 years old when he packed all his belongings in a U-Haul and embarked on a journey across the Brooklyn Bridge that would forever change his life. Having been born and raised in Brooklyn during the ’50s, Frank viewed the crossing to Manhattan as a whole new world of opportunity. “It represented a new beginning and a definite growing point in my life,” Frank says.

Frank enjoys living the Fairfield County lifestyle to the fullest. He and his partner, Martin, enjoy getting together with friends and enjoying the outstanding dining in the area.

Stepping Out of the Cocoon

Frank quickly took to city life. He earned his degree and began his career as a social worker, but soon landed a job in the apparel industry. He worked his way up the ladder and spent more than 25 years in senior management for many renowned shirtmakers and clothiers. He embraced the Manhattan lifestyle, watching neighborhoods evolve and the city grow right beneath his apartment window.

After nearly 35 years and having made real estate investments in Easthampton, Florida and Bucks County, Pennsylvania, Frank decided he was ready for a change of pace. He maintained an apartment in the city but moved his permanent residence to Fairfield County. This transition also opened the door for his entree to real estate as a profession. Combining years of experience buying and selling properties and an impeccable track record in the business world, Frank quickly established himself as a leading resource.

A Different Approach

One of Frank’s keys to success is listening carefully to his clients’ goals in order to best achieve them.

When you work with Frank toward the sale or purchase of a home, it’s not just another transaction to Frank. He invests himself personally into your success, listening carefully to your goals and objectives every step of the way. Drawing upon decades of experience at the negotiating table, Frank strives to create win-win scenarios for all parties involved.

Perhaps more importantly, however, is how at ease you’ll feel working with Frank. He views his role as a consultant, providing sage advice in order to help his clients achieve their real estate goals. His genuine concern for your best interests is palpable from the moment you meet him and continues until your transaction is complete. “It’s extremely gratifying to be able to help people with something that means so much both personally and financially,” Frank says. “It drives me to give my all every single day.”
