Community Partner Spotlight
Gramatan Village members have access to our network of Community Partners, trusted local service providers. Our staff determines whether a requested service can be handled by a volunteer of whether it requires the expertise of a professional service provider.
This month we shine the spotlight on
Priscilla Toomey
For the past twelve years, Priscilla Toomey has focused on Bronxville area real estate, whether it be sales or purchases of single family homes, coops, condos or rentals. A lawyer by background, Priscilla started practicing law in trusts and estates and went on to become General Counsel of Prudential Relocation Management. Her real estate philosophy is "client for life " to help with whatever the client needs no matter how long ago the purchase or sale took place. Priscilla also teaches the real estate class at the Bronxville Adult School where she is on the Board of Trustees, and she loves teaching and helping her students feel as much in control of their upcoming real estate activities as possible.
Priscilla is offering one on one consults with Gramatan Village Members at no charge, so if you have anything real estate-wise you would like to discuss, please let us know and we'll set up a meeting for you.
