Richard Ziegelasch has had a passion and knowledge of New York buildings, neighborhoods, architecture, and trends in the real estate market for more than 30 years. At Brown Harris Stevens, Richard has quickly risen to becoming one of their top brokers. In his previous career, he has spent over 20 years as a senior private banker for both Credit Suisse and UBS. Through those positions, he has established an incredible global network of high net individuals. Taking this knowledge, his keen ability to truly understand a client's needs, a marketing background, and his extensive global network, he brings with him not only the experience of working with clients on complex financial issues, but also the history of helping advise them on their real estate decisions. In the private banking world, personal service, and most importantly, earning a client’s trust are paramount. These are the same qualities he brings to his global clients and customers at Brown Harris Stevens.
