Meet EcoBroker Frank Lessa!

Frank Lessa, a Balch Buyers Realty principal.

Frank Lessa is a Balch Buyers Realty principal broker, and like everyone at Balch, is an exclusive buyer's agent. That means he works only for buyers, never for sellers. He takes no listings, but will help you purchase any available property, whether MLS-listed, broker-exclusive, or for sale by owner.

Frank is a licensed New York State Corporate Real Estate Broker, and a Realtor®. But that's not all. Because he's never stopped learning and growing professionally, he recently earned the EcoBroker Certified designation. Frank is also a Certified International Property Specialist (CIPS), and a member of the prestigious Commercial and Investment Division (CID) of the Westchester County Board of Realtors®.

EcoBroker Certified.

EcoBroker Certified

Frank has always been "true blue": an exclusive buyer's agent. But now he's blue and green, too, having earned his EcoBroker Certified designation from the Association of Energy and Environmental Real Estate Professionals. Frank can help you find your dream home and then help you evaluate its environmental issues, including radon, asbestos, lead, water, mold, and indoor air quality. He can also recommend energy-saving measures that can make your new home more comfortable, healthier, and cheaper to maintain. Frank says "There's no more important time to think green than when buying your next home. Your family's health and safety depend on it. It's a big investment."

Certified International Property Specialist (CIPS).

Certified International Property SpecialistAsked why he took the time to earn his credentials as a Certified International Property Specialist (CIPS), Frank said "In today's global economy, real estate brokers need to look beyond the immediate neighborhood. Now we're dealing across counties, countries, and continents!" Frank's CIPS training explored such topics as cross-cultural relationships, regional market conditions, investment performance, and tax, currency and exchange rate issues. Whether you're moving from Mamaroneck to Miami, or from Frankfurt to Fairfield, Frank's got the data, the expertise, and the experience to be your international broker.
