About Strategic Management Group, LLC

My Client-First Philosophy

There are many qualities and skills that go into being an excellent real estate professional - integrity, in-depth community and market knowledge, marketing savvy, effective negotiation skills and a high-quality professional network, all of which are hallmarks of how we work.

That said, in our experience as New York real estate professionals, we’ve also found that providing the very best service is essentially about putting our clients first.  This means keeping ourselves accessible, being good listeners as well as good communicators, and responding quickly to your needs.

This "client first" philosophy has always been our approach and it requires us to continually improve our skills and ways of doing business.  In addition, we’ve found that the latest technologies are enabling us to do everything we’ve always done, only much more quickly and efficiently.  They've also helped us to extend the range of services we provide to our clients.

So when you decide that you'd like to buy or sell a home in the New York City, Long Island, Rockland or Orange County areas, and coming soon to Connecticut, or looking for Property Management Services, please contact us.  

About Eric Pagan, Lic. Real Estate Broker

Eric Pagan has been a licensed real estate professional for over twenty years.  But his love of and interest in New York City goes well beyond his expertise as one of the city’s (and surrounding counties) most seasoned agents.  Eric was born and raised in Manhattan’s Lower East Side.  For nearly four decades, he’s been witness to the enormous change, gentrification and development that has made New York City one of the most recognized cities in the world — for its diversity, rich culture and safe, beautiful neighborhoods. 

Eric graduated from SUNY College with a B.S. Degree in Criminal Justice and the Police Management Institute at Columbia University’s School of Business.  His early interest in real estate sprung from his curiosity about the city’s historical and architectural icons, the beautiful homes that decorate the neighborhoods and the people that choose to live within its parameters.

Beginning his real estate career at one of the country’s most recognized firms and owning his own real estate company, gives Eric a distinct advantage when it comes to advising his clients.  His unique perspective and expert knowledge of the individual neighborhoods that make up Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, Long Island, and now Rockland, enable him to find clients their perfect home — one that suits their specific needs and personality.  That keen perspective has enabled him to recognize the best return on investment for his clients; Eric recognizes a "diamond in the rough." 

Eric’s Motto: I know this city.  With my expertise as a real estate professional and dedication to this city, I take pride in protecting my clients’ interests and developing a plan that best serves their needs. Whether it’s buying, selling or renting, my goal is the same: To listen and guide them toward making an informed decision — the best one for them, their families and their future.
