About The Pinnacle Team at RE/MAX Edge
At The Pinnacle Team, we are dedicated to providing homeowners with a complete real estate solution, combining deep local knowledge with expert sales and marketing strategies. Our team was founded by Simon Umanoff and Frank Bergen, two professionals passionate about guiding clients through the complexities of buying and selling homes.
Simon, has lived in Staten Island for over 20 years, brings a strong background in sales and marketing, ensuring that every home we list is marketed effectively and sold quickly. Frank, born and raised in Brooklyn, offers unmatched local expertise and insight, helping clients navigate the real estate landscape with confidence. Together, we are backed by the powerhouse of RE/MAX Edge, offering our clients access to extensive resources and support.
Our mission is simple: to be the best realtors in Staten Island and Brooklyn, providing personalized service every step of the way. We value integrity, care, and quality, and we believe that what sets us apart is our hands-on approach. From listing and marketing your home to handling inspections, negotiations, and even finding off-market deals, we are with you for the entire transaction—ensuring nothing is overlooked.
Since we started, we’ve faced unique challenges, like selling a home that completely flooded while under contract, or getting a FSBO 100k more than they were offered, we excel at finding creative solutions to get exceptional results. Whether you’re buying your first home, moving into a larger space, or selling a property, we offer fully customized service because we know every client’s situation is different.
Frank and Simon’s local expertise gives us a unique advantage—we know the ins and outs of both Brooklyn and Staten Island from a residential perspective. This allows us to provide our clients with accurate information and unmatched insight to help them make informed decisions.
At The Pinnacle Team, real estate is more than just a business—it’s about helping people through one of the most important transactions of their lives. We build trust with our clients through our knowledge, dedication, and commitment to long-term relationships. We stay in touch long after the deal is done because we truly care about your real estate journey.
